Summary: Pleasntly Surprised 2008-11-29
Comment: I had just recently finished reading Manfield Park, by the great Jane Austen, when I started to look for film adaptions of it. When I came across this one, I read all the reviews (most of which were poor) and quickly went the other way. I first watched the 1999 version, it having better reviews, and I liked it quite a bit (aside from thinking "Where is William?"). But, still curious, I came back to this version, having always liked the adaptions this group put out, and was astounded that it could recieve such bad reviews. I loved it. Some things are missing, if you are considering the book to be the supposed script. But, I thought it flowed very well even with those pieces missing. If you enjoy the book, you will most likely enjoy this movie. It is not word for word in line with the book, but there are many key quotes that make their way onto this film adaption of Mansfield Park. I recommend it.

Summary: Mansfield Park 2008-10-28
Comment: I am a big Jane Austin fan. I always like the books better than the movies. However this movie is true to the book and I enjoyed it very much.

Summary: bad acting by everyone! 2008-10-04
Comment: I bought this movie in a pack of 3 so unfortunately can't even give it away as I definately would. What a waste of money this movie was. I fast forward most of it so can't really tell you everything but only that Billie Piper was so poor a choice for an actress. She dyed her hair blonde for the movie but unfortunately she has a deep undergrowth coming through. Umm, not sure if she knew that girls didn't really dye their hair in that era and that I am sure she would've been able to afford it even if they did. Without watching her hair roots everytime she was on camera, she and the rest of the cast gave off such a poor performance that you didn't care what happened. They must of had a small budget as the movie never leaves the estate.

Summary: Why Must Modern Movie-Makers Make These Things Politically Correct? 2008-08-26
Comment: While this movie did not bother me too much and was quite enjoyable in some places, I will never understand why modern movie-makers feel like they have to make politically correct comments in movies from this time period. I do not recall when Wilberforce started his anti-slavery movement in England, but if Austen didn't make a reference to it in her book, is it likely that Fanny would have questioned Sir Thomas's slave-owning tendencies? Both this movie and the '99 version did it, this one thankfully MUCH less. Yes, we all know NOW that slavery is wrong, evil, etc., but back then it was a way of life, and I seriously doubt that meek little Fanny Price would have said anything about it.
