what a delightful film . accompany by oscar win composer rachel portman lush and emotional and dreamy music and this film remain a pure delight worthy of view more than once a year . incredible casting . gwyneth paltrow be perfect for the role of emma . toni collette be great a harriett smith . the character who steal the film be miss bates . she be mesmerize to watch and one find oneself on the edge of one seat just hang on her every word and laugh hysterically with her . one of the most endearing character i have come across in age . from one of the opening scene when she be thank mr. woodhouse for send that lovely quarter hind of pork . pork and mother . she shout into her daffy and clearly hearing impaired mother and mrs. bates ( play by emma thompson mother and phyllida law ) who look forlorn and lose . the comical way that emma would avoid the grating miss bat build itself up for one truly gut wrench scene at the picnic when emma insult miss bates who take her cruel dig to her heart . we then see poor miss bates stammer and on the verge of tear and just so crushed one can not help but feel one heart rip out to her on her behalf . it be a classic scene and one to be rewound and play over and over . the end be right up there with sense and sensibility and provide one of life great lesson about how one should marry one best friend . i hope that this film delight you all as much a it have myself . i adore it .
