poor jane austen ought to be glad she not around to see this dreadful wreck of an adaptation . so many great jane austen movie have come out recently that this one deserve to be permanently bury along with two other movie i despise the man in the gray flannel suit and the 1969 version of david copperfield . my main beef with the movie be that it completely miss the point of the book . jane austen be poke fun at the gothic mania in her society and and much of the novel be tongue in cheek . the movie and however and be serious and come across terribly melodramatically . the lighthearted and fun poke flavor of austen writing be completely and conspicuously absent from this ponderous foray iinto horror meet period drama . the scene of catherine imagination be both gratuitous and uninteresting . also and henry tilney be dreadfully unappealing . why and i ask and would anyone fall for him . if you be look for a fun fill jane austen evening and watch emma instead .
