Jane Austen

Last week i rediscovered Jane Austen (watching 'Becoming Jane'). The films, not the books. That's another topic i'll have to deal with later.

I finally watched Pride and Prejudice and yes, the people were right to recommend me the movie. I love Keira Knightleys Performance and the whole actors way of speaking british english. In Pirates of the Caribbean Keira annoys me a bit, but in Pride+ she's rebellious, laughs with her sister like normal siblings and in total, she seems more...natural. And Mr. Darcy! Oh he's so damn cute with his inability to show his true emotions (or any emotions at all XD). When he confesses his feelings in the rain he's so sweet :D

Sense and Sensibility is a film i watched when i was a child and i didnt understand what the movie really was about. Now i fully understand and i like it. I even shed some tears when Elinor learns that Edward already is engaged. And later, when he tells her that he didnt marry and loves her. Oh and of course Mariannes Misery is very sad, but Colonel Brandons quiet and unfullfilled longings for her seemed more woeful to me.

I'm trying to find an Emma film, but until i accomplish this goal i'll want to watch Northanger Abbey. Persuasion is also a name on my To-Do-List.

Viewed this way, i'm filling another gap in my general knowledge, so wish me luck and a nice movie evening XD
