    A comedy adaptation of an Austen novel is arguably the only valid way to adapt Austen. Its like Austen's writing style come to life visually

      I really wish it got recognition too. Everyone loves Darcy because he was haughty and handsome. But I love how Knightly actually spoke with Emma and wasnt cruel or rude like Darcy. He had a kindness about him that Darcy never really has. Knightly is probably the most romantic of all Austen men, imo. Also, hot take, but this Knightly is so much more handsome and skilled at expressing the tension than the Kiera P&P Darcy

    Something I looove about this specific adaptation is how they portray Emma so clearly as a big fish in a small pond. Like you can see she has a good heart and CAN be super affectionate, considerate, and thoughtful to the people in her life, it's just she has such a high opinion of herself and is rarely ever put in check by anyone around her besides Mr. Knightley. I loved the way Anya acted out all her subtler moments -- it's not just that she dislikes Jane Fairfax, she dislikes Jane Fairfax BECAUSE Jane worked hard for accomplishments Emma never had the self-discipline to perfect herself (that hilarious piano scene), and she doesn't know what to do when she experiences feelings of inferiority or self-consciousness. I loved her instant moment of realization and regret when she insults Miss Bates, and the facial journey she goes on afterwards feeling awful, desperately trying to maintain composure in front of the group, trying and failing to convince herself it wasn't even that bad, and then totally falling apart when Knightley yells at her.

    This is definitely my favorite Emma adaptation but the movie makes huge changes to Emma’s redemption arc, so I don’t think it’s the “best” in terms of faithfulness. It’s been a while since I’ve read the book but I remember that she doesn’t actually change much or realize the error of her ways in the way that the movie depicts. She accepts knightly’s proposal without genuine concern for Harriet and actually sends her away to some of Emma’s relatives to avoid dealing with her after she accepts the proposal. She also makes no effort to fix things between Harriet and Mr. Martin and they end the book more as strangers than friends, which Austen seems to approve of given the class difference. I love this movie for the way they fix these things bc I felt really unsatisfied with how Emma’s character and outlook didn’t change much apart from her getting over her jealousy of Jane. It’s a beautiful movie and the emotional payout is satisfying, I wish the book was as well.

    I think part of Emma’s elaborate outfits which contrasts with the other young ladies we see (and would generally be unusual on an unmarried woman) is that she has no mother to reign her in. She gets given a huge dress allowance but no one to manage her dresses or teach her what would be considered appropriate for a young lady. Mrs. Westinghouse was of course in charge or her wardrobe as her governess but once Emma hit adulthood, she was just a companion and didn’t have the authority.
    She is also at the top of the social hierarchy as the hostess of the highest ranked gentleman in the town, so none of the older married ladies in town would dare tell her she is dressed borderline inappropriately for an unmarried lady.

    Every aspect of this adaptation is designed for women, it doesn't focus or objectify women, it's witty, funny, the costumes and cinematography is beautiful and fun, and the romance is sweet and deep and helps the main character grow.

    I completely agree. This Emma is one of my favorite Austen adaptations. It was shocking to see it didn’t get much credit or awards during the year it was released. I can’t completely write that off as a pandemic year slight. I can’t account for it. Everything about autumn de wilde’s adaptation is brilliant, poignant, visually delightful and is a pleasure to listen to. Even the country songs are gorgeous. Did de Wilde spit in somebody’s corn flakes? It must have been a costume historian’s dream film with every detail perfection. Any idea why it was ignored by the film industry? I think among Austen fans, it’s eventually going to be a cult classic.

    This is a really thoughtful, sensible essay. Just one note: in the confession scene, Emma isn't upset with Mr Knightley because he has feelings for *her* , she's upset because at first she thinks he's going to tell her that he reciprocates Harriet's affections and she can't bear to hear it. That's why she tells him that she doesn't want to know and then she takes a moment and realises that as someone who cares about him, she should be the bigger person and listen to him as a friend. Once she finds out that he actually cares for her, Emma *is* concerned about Harriet being rejected again but comes to agree that Harriet may be persuaded to go back to Mr Martin.

    As an autistic woman few characters have made me feel seen in such a confronting way as Emma. It felt like an odd mirror of myself in a way that I love this movie but the first couple watches made me deeply uncomfortable as I saw so much of myself in Emma’s behavior good and bad. The uncomfortable situations felt like scenes in my own life, times I’ve misspoke and misunderstood people and looking back made an ass of myself. It pushed me to be more aware of my words and actions, how I interact with the world in general. Loved this video✨

    I love Emma so much, it's my favorite book by Jane Austen and the movie is among my favorite films of all time. Her character feels so real and it made me feel seen when I first read it. I interpreted the scene with Mr Woodhouse the same way! Though it took me a couple of watches. About Elton's final speech, if I'm not mistaken in the Spanish dub he still mispronounces innocence, which is such a shame considering its symbolism, but I could be wrong about it. Thank you so much for this video, it was lovely.

I think it's easy to view or portray Emma as a selfish, mean girl type character, and I think that this adaptation (and Clueless actually) ground Emma well in her context and make her more understandable and sympathetic. I really enjoyed your breakdown of it :)

In this one he is very obviously disappointed and excpected her to do better, he doesn't yell at her. Because of this he also appears less patronizing

    Mr Churchill is putting on an act to save his engagement to Jane Fairfax and not to lose his inheritance from his aunt. Churchill is poor and his aunt wants him to marry someone like Emma or she will disinherit him. So when he is around Jane, he openly flirts with Emma, who is superior to his status, to avoid being discovered. Jane may have believed that he would actually break off his engagement to her for Emma but he sends Jane a piano without telling anyone it was him, letting others speculate who the mystery admirer of Jane is.

    i LOVED the movie. similar to another commenter i watched it before i read the book and when reading, i was surprised but happy that they'd changed the ending. iirc shes still quite elitist in the end and its meant to be ok bc its now in a well-meaning noblesse oblige way - but, for instance book emma would have never bought that goose to robert martin. pretty much all her growth is done internally via 'mortification' and self flagellation, but she never actually does/has to do anything very difficult externally. i suspect her level of growth was enough for austen's time, but it def wouldn't have held up in a 2020s adaptation!! this + the way they brought out the comedy really makes this a really sensitive, legend tier adaptation.

    It is a truth universally acknowledged that beauty may first capture the eye, but it is character that secures the heart. While the bloom of youth may fade as surely as the rose in winter, the enduring charms of wit, kindness, and intelligence grow only richer with time. Indeed, those who seek only surface delights shall find their pleasures fleeting, whereas those who value the treasures of the mind and spirit are rewarded with a far greater constancy.

    Something in the book that I am pretty sure was at least implied in the movie but doesn't seem to be widely known is that no one knows Miss Smith's status/class, including miss Smith. She could be of the same status/class as Emma (father a landlord) but could also be a merchant's daughter (one step lower) or even the illegitimate daughter of a rich man, whether high or low status. Wealth didn't dictate status directly. And the latter options are more likely given her parents not contacting or claiming her despite funding her schooling. Emma chooses to assume she's a gentleman's (=landlord/landowner)'s daughter despite that not being probable. Everyone else assumes she's not, from Martin to Elton to Knightly to Miss Smith herself before Emma gets to her. And in the end she is of the the same status as Martin so that marriage would have been fine and her arousing to marry Elton or Knightly would be above her station.

    The only way you can like this movie is if you don't comprehend the characters of Emma and Mr Knightley as Jane Austen depicts them in her novel. In the movie they are quite different. I loathed the movie although I admit it was pretty to look at.

    Absolutely ADORE this movie and don't understand why it gets so much hate online! It's beautiful, hilarious, the costuming is flawless and the set design/cinematography is the best of any Austen adaptation IMO. Also, this version of Mr. Knightley is probably my favorite Austen MMC moment EVER, the look of longing in that man's eyes right after Emma kisses him is just *swoon* I think about it at least once a week, right up there with the 2005 P&P Hand Flex Scene. It's such a short moment that is played so big and just UGH!!!! I love love love it!!!
    21:10 I also interpreted the scene when Mr. Woodhouse is asking Mr. Knightly about a "chill draft about the knees" as him trying to give them some privacy. Mostly cause he goes "pity" and then gives MAJOR side eye.

      Mr Knightly is great in this version! Like ik the book has a questionable age gap going on but I didn’t really feel it in this adaptation which I liked tons. They have great chemistry and just make us all swoon as you said lmaoo! As for Mr woodhouse it took me going over the movie while editing to hear the ‘pity’ part haha! I just love him and Bill Nighy absolutely did him justice here I loved his character so much!

    I don’t think Austen meant to display a beautiful friendship between Emma and Harriet. Harriet is more of a project to Emma, a plaything, if you will. She eventually discovers that she has done her wrong, yes, but it is then pretty soon followed by distancing herself from her friend a little once she finds out shes the daughter of a tradesman and Harriet marries a farmer (in sharp contrast to the film, in which she embraces her friend’s new social standing heartily). She tries very hard to make Harriet a suitable companion for herself throughout the book, by pretending that she must be of good birth (despite there being no evidence for that at all) and attempting to match her up with a gentleman in Mr Elton and then Frank Churchill, but when she fails she turns her back on this rather unsuitable connection pretty quickly as “the intimacy between Harriet and Emma must sink; their friendship must change into a calmer sort of goodwill”. She clearly wishes Harriet well, but I imagine their friendship will peter out soon after the novel closes.
    Emma is at points reminded that Jane Fairfax would be a better match as her friend, but she’s too jealous of the other woman to allow that to happen. And then theres Mrs Elton, who thinks shes competing with Emma, but she’s nowhere near of the same social importance. Positive female friendships are quite rare in Jane Austen’s novels.

    This right here, is why this movie imho is somewhat superior to the book as far as the relationship with Harriet and even makes Emma better than she was in the book in some points. In the book she isn't concerned about Harriet at all and dumps her as a friend after she Marries Robert Martin, she also makes no attempt to repair their relationship etc. I understand the times but.. it always left a bad taste in my mouth and is why I don't love Emma as a character.
