sometimes and change to novel when theyre make into film be not only necessary and but a good thing . however and in the case of northanger abbey and it a very and very bad thing . not only be the story itself rip to shred and but the satire be almost completely absent from the film and and it mixture of romance and intrigue doesn not even touch upon the biting commentary that austen put into her work . it fail to be amuse or satirical at all and and instead turn the character fascination with her fantasy world into mostly a drama . this affect the romance as well . it meander and aimless . chemistry and interest be never establish . the reason tilney be attract to catherine be completely absent from the film and leave the audience to wonder what it be he see in her at all . hopefully some day soon and we will get a more faithful version if austen satire .
