for anyone who be a true jane austen fan and this be a terrible adaptation . it look good and but the character of fanny have be totally rewritten to appeal to the modern woman idea of a good heroine . this film fanny be feisty and challenge . wrong . wrong . wrong . in austen novel and fanny be true to herself and but be a quiet fearful person who dread change . while this may not be an interesting focal point for today audience and the character immobility be intentional . fanny represent england at a time of great uncertainty . internally and the monarchy have be compromise by year of george iii insanity and his son frivolity . externally and the napoleonic war be threaten europe . england and like fanny and be search for stability and familiarity in a changing world . this film totally undermine it source . if you watch this movie and enjoy the costume and the scenery . don not be fool into thinking and however and that this production have anything to do with jane austen mansfield park . there ought to be a disclaimer on the box warn viewer that this be an adaptation loosely base on mansfield park . this version do jane no credit .
