I saw your post when I logged in and was like "I have to write mine up before I read hers or I'm just gonna be like, go read her review!" Strong agreement on this!
Like, tied with the 2009 version with Romola and Johnny Lee Miller levels of perfect.
I was not expecting this to happen but big agreement here! I can't wait to watch it again!
I cannot wait till it comes out on DVD and I can screencap it and make a hundred thousand million icons. LOVE.
YES YES YES
though I was a bit surprised at how miserable they portrayed her and her marriage. I don't remember that in the novel? It's fine though--it works in the context of the movie.
By my recollection the 2009 version actually makes their marriage seem nicer than I recall it in the book - not bickering angry or anything, but this didn't seem totally left field to me.
I think Frank Churchill was a more minor role, but especially given the movie format I feel like de Wilde gave him appropriate screentime. He's not actually that important in the end, to anyone, not even his father or Emma so - he gets less focus here.
THE MUSIC I'M SO IN LOVE!!! CLOTHES! THIS WHOLE PRODUCTION!!!!
I do talk about that spoiler in the proposal scene in my post, btw.
What else is she going to do but match-make and try to manipulate people? I'm not saying that to excuse her behavior--which frequently is awful, though she realizes that and grows--but just to say I find her totally, totally understandable.
This!!! I don't know what else to add but yes, this! I feel like we are in such sync on this movie and I LOVE IT SO MUCH
