A lack of love and friendship and Lady Susan, works "minor" by Jane Austen, we can say that I have completed the reading of his most popular novels with which I bring here. As in the case of Sense and Sensibility, I've seen it before several TV and movie versions of which I shall speak later. As for the novel itself, I can not say it's my favorite, though Mr. Knightley is, as pointed out there Wunderk, the most balanced of the gallants austenianos. What is clear is that the protagonist is a good girl a little turkey. Jane Austen she laughs, it's true, but I did not like their latest thinking about Harriet, absolutely class and derogatory to the girl. Okay, we are in the nineteenth century, but it is something that the author's other novels seems to me to see them leaving more concealed. From what I've noticed is that the structure of any book is usually the same in substance: heroin, attractive guy who then goes frog, Discreet Hero ending with the heroine and the secondary class (parents , mothers, neighbors ...). Emma is a nice site where the drama has no place. Only the girl's anxieties by matching people are important, but we always have to Mr. Knightley to stop him and be mature and thoughtful counterpoint, the voice of experience who sees things logically and not to Romantic eyes, something of their own in a girl of twenty years.
Accommodations: I put the pictures of the three I've seen. The first corresponds to the most recent production of the BBC. I hope to stop and to versions of works of Jane Austen and launch, for example, to adapt to Georgette Heyer, whose The indomitable Sophia, I'm enjoying now and my next entry. Well I have not seen a whole (only the last two chapters in the plane that brought me to the U.S.), but I do not need to see more. Right, but that's it. Romola Garai, the protagonist, it seems a bit tiresome at times. Mr. Knightley is not something extraordinary and, moreover, did not notice the age difference between the characters. It is curious that in other productions the actors are not more than ten, twelve years, but they seem more mature, older than themselves. The film starring Gwyneth Paltrow is perfect Mr. Knightley, but I'm not convinced the rest of the cast (well, she more or less). The less I like Toni Colette: absolutely ridiculous, making the young and innocent Harriet Smith. The best version for me is the starring Kate Beckinsale, less pretentious, more natural and a flawless cast in all directions. Mark Strong, Mr. Knightley, is not as handsome as Jeremy Northam, but very well composed character.
