This rendition of EMMA is different from all previous due to the abnormal behavior of every character. Not one is "normal". Thus, it is ever so much fun to watch. Well Done!
Yes well, they created a satire that is deliberately over the top. 😆 Except for Miss Taylor, who's in fact wonderfully normal, everyone's a caricature bursting of eccentricity.
@@NiVi192 Word. It feels more like a parody of Jane Austen's book than an adaptation. That, and I loved the fact that movies like the (by now classic?) BBC Pride&Prejudice version didn't insist stuffing the characters into the 1995 fashion. To me that feels like respect towards the audience: _Hi there, we think you are capable of recognizing that a woman is pretty even if we don't put _*_glaringly obvious lipstick_*_ onto her._
This role perhaps a bit more like Charles, but if you want to see Josh O'Connor's acting range, see him in "God's own country". He almost physically transforms.
her calling him "Knightley" instead of "Mr.Knightley" and also adressing her husband with an italian nickname to show off her skills, is very ill-mannered in those times and obviously basically saying that the vicar "left Emma behind" when it was the other way around makes her even more unlikeble.
@@rachaelpoulin1997I think those are more from the 1840s (at least in this scene) which is 30 years after the Regency Period. This would be like having folks wearing Y2K fashion on That 70s Show.
I love the bit with the pews. The struggle is so real. And that neck ruffle on Mrs. Elton. It looks like she cut her own head off and now it's just floating above her shoulders.
We once visited a church, having recently moved. We had no idea there were seatings that church goers prized and felt very protective of. Wouldn't you know it, we chose, by accident, a pew that "belonged" to a family in the old guard, so to speak. We had no idea. Needless to say, we never went back. A kind deacon did tell us as we left after the service that generally long standing members sat in certain places. I said, "Well, we're sorry to have upset the apple cart. We do wish someone would have told us. We never would have taken their seats. In all fairness though, we thought we were in God's house, not theirs."
@@NanaPapa123 We used to sit in front of an older couple who proudly informed us one Sunday that they had chased off some visitors who tried to sit in "our" pew. We never sat there again!
@@cathipalmer8217 Isn't that something? I'm sure you didn't even know what to say. I wouldn't have thought of a decent reply (until maybe 2 AM, lol) I wish people wouldn't do things like this. :-(
I saw it more as a social hierarchy being displaced. You can see that Emma and Mr. Woodhouse and the Weston's were on one side down the front. They are the landed gentry in the village - they don't have to work. Mr and Mrs Cole are on the aisle across from them down the front, as well Mrs Bates and Miss Bates, with Jane Fairfax. They are the gentry that come from work. Down the back you see Mrs Goddard's school with her girls on the side of Emma's aisle. This is usually because Mrs. Goddard is school for young ladies. Then on the other side the other people of the town. By Mrs. Elton showing up and taking that first row, it upsets the hierarchy. First, because she is now the pastors wife. Second, because she is a new bride. But thirdly, it knocks Emma down a peg for not having the most important seat in the church.
@@stephaniejane306but in the book, Knightley tells Emma that Miss Bates used to have as much status as Emma now has, and it is in poor taste to show her disrespect. Sounds like she's Old Money who came down in the world.
I just noticed Mrs. Elton has what looks a bit like crazy 1830's hair stuck up bun/bow-thing in 1815! I guess they did they to make her look overly into fashion to the point of silliness. EDIT: Also … How the hell did she fit that under her bonnet ?!? (Note: Major bonus points to Emma for NOT LEAVING OUT THE BONNETS as may films set in the regency or other eras of the 19th century do!)
Apart from the weird frilly thing around her neck, I'd say that's a realistic regency evening outfit. It makes about as much sense as Emma Woodhouse wearing a ostrich-feather decorated riding hat at a small town church service. So bascially: Emma get's ridiculously pimped up, but in a way to look good to a 21st century audience. The Eltens get ridiculously pimped up, but in a way to look bad to a 21st century audience. I do wish they'd published this movie as "Wes Anderson's Emma", just as a heads-up.
i love how angry some people are over this perfectly charming movie, not being in the know is my greatest boon when it comes to harmless media consumption
Especially when it comes to anything remotely historical. Background knowledge really kills off willing suspension of disbelief when a a stick-thin Elizabeth Bennet mouth-breaths her way through a regency-era story. And that's _before_ she strolls through the landscape in her PYs.
@@Julia-lk8jn Please know that I agree with you pretty much point for point, and I have MANY gripes with the 2005 movie, but! Keira Knightley being thin is actually one of the few things that I think they got right. We’re given several indications that Elizabeth is thinner than ideal by the beauty standards of the time: Mr Darcy’s second impression of Elizabeth: “Though he had detected with a critical eye more than one failure of perfect symmetry in her form, he was forced to acknowledge her figure to be light and pleasing.” In comparison with Georgiana: “Miss Darcy was tall, and on a larger scale than Elizabeth; and, though little more than sixteen, her figure was formed, and her appearance womanly and graceful.” Caroline, when insulting Elizabeth’s appearance, says: “Her face is too thin”. And finally, in comparison with Jane, who we can assume is more or less the ideal of statuesque beauty: “Jane, who was not so light, nor so much in the habit of running as Elizabeth, soon lagged behind”. Jane Austen was never very descriptive when it came to her characters, so it’s hard to say exactly how thin Elizabeth is-but I think it’s fair to say that she’s probably closer to Knightley than Ehle. Sorry for this mini essay more than a year after your comment, I’m just very attached to the fact that Elizabeth is unconventionally attractive by the standards of her time!
@@kenna163 my other favourite is Julia Stevenson 💕 This one wasn't as sneering, or as ponderous as Julia's version, both of which I loved 😄 Julia was just a bit older for the part, or so she seemed 💓
I love this version ,every character fits, I almost did not recognize at first Mia Goth.. And Anya is not as beautiful as her role in Queen Gambit......But I love Anya as Emma
I love her 1830s hair style. That and the color of the dress are so out of keeping with the 1820s styles and sombre palette of the rest of the characters that it makes her stand out even more as new money and a wannabe. She is like an influencer trying to name drop and be a trendsetter.
Best Movie.... So good directed, great casted and scripted... It was time for Emma re-do cause the other ones are extremely doll and boring even cringe.
So Prince Charles and Lily were there to have a game with Harmond. Lestrade is also there so perhaps someone bad happened, but Miranda’s presence made me feel like this is comedic 🤔 hmm. I am so confused.
I know through friends that these two actresses always used to go up for the same roles. Feels like a nod to other adaptions where she looks like Emma.
Immortal Miss Jane Austen at her sateric style at BEST..Was school text for "O" levels!! None have yet created a Matching character for Mrs. Augusta Elton
This version was a fun take, although this Mr Knightley was very one-dimensional and my lasting memory of his character in this movie his him running around huffing and puffing all the time. Nothing like Jonny Lee Miller who, in my opinion, so far has made the best Knightley (of the modern versions).
i believe it's supposed to be a joke... because she's "old" and probably has bad hearing she probably misheard that they were supposed to rise or something

Emma's father with the tea-cup and the servant is just fantastic lol He looks so stunned by her like "Oh my god...what...what is this woman..."
Ya gotta love Bill Nighy. Always a fabulous performance!
The most enjoyable parts of this movie are the servants who keep rolling their eyes to oblivion at how ludicrous these gentle folk are
Yes, the eye rolls😂

@@hannahs1683Nah, it's most realistic and terribly amusing.
Wouldn’t have happened though, the working class wouldn’t have been able to read or write, they had no education at all.
@@jemmajames6719 They had ears though. 😅
"for in thy sight!" 😂😂😂
This movie was one of the best things that happened in 2020.
And Mrs. Bates caught the spirit there for a sec cause she had to stand up.
That is an incredibly low bar to clear, good things in 2020 were very scarce.
The way Augusta slaps Rev.s hand down while he's reaching for another cupcake!

I couldn't agree more, British period drama/comedy at its best with a dash of dark humour always a tad over-the-top.

the way I am HOWLING with laughter every time at the way the old lady stands up
She caught the spirit. She had to praise the Lordt.
Me too
It's so hard to unsee him as Charles and be amazed by his behavior.
Charles Who?
@@daffodilsanddogwoods9695 Charles, the prince of Wales
Yes!! Me too! Are you also a fan of The Crown??
Yes! Thank you because I couldn’t figure out where I have seen him before
This role perhaps a bit more like Charles, but if you want to see Josh O'Connor's acting range, see him in "God's own country". He almost physically transforms.
I also loved how attentive the butler is to Emma's father
He has probably known him half his life considering this class hardly ever got rid o servants

When the old lady stands, she's the same height as everyone else & they're seated😂
Forgive me, the grammar is when she stood..

And the decor colors are dazzling.

Not enough Maple Grove. In the books she talked about it so much I wanted to scream

Augusta is funny! Can't help but laugh when she speaks 🤣
impressive atmosphere and colour combination indeed.
i feel like Josh o Conner wouldve slayed in that vicars robe at Met Gala!
This vicar new wife is an entertainment itself 😅
Can we just appreciate the make artist please? Seriously,
hands on🙌🙌
Yep, that's a perfect 2020 look in a regency era story, no question. Oh joy!
I do love how the first convocation with Emma and Mrs Elton is full of so many social errors.
I love this movie version!
This actress was used to read out the Emma audiobook and it is stunning - like a one woman play
Я понимаю, что по контексту она ведёт себя не очень воспитанно, но чёрт, как же прекрасно льется её речь. Просто молодец актриса)
Josh O'Connor's delivery always makes me lose it. "For in THY SIGHT" and "Innoe -cence" are so funny
No one wants to be the Mrs. Elton of the group yet somehow…
all those brilliant stars actors. my goodness!
I really really enjoyed this movie and visually what a treat!
Charles and Bartholomew are the real mvps of this film...their reactions are hilarious!
Remind me not to invite the vicar and his wife to any function at my house. :)

In thy SIGHT!!
why is prince charles transported to the regency era? time machine? and where's camilla?
She would fit in there perfectly.
Maybe under-cover as Mrs Elton?
A good actress!
I forgot how funny this movie is
If this was made in the 70s-80s Shelly Duvall would play the Vicar's wife
Well then, this actress would be a good Olive Oil in Popeye.
Mrs Elton is my favourite snob in the Jane Austen world.
The sets are awesome.

,poor guy. Wasn't allowed to take a cookie!

Beth Harmon meets Maxxxine/Pearl meets Prince Charles meets Lily
When she runs down, do you twist that thing on top of her head to wind her up again?
Mrs. Elton is incredibly convincing
,
Love the decor can anyone tell me the century??
Simply hilarious.
Ok, I don't want to like this twee, self-aware, 'aren't we so clever' vibe, but Mrs. Elton is hilarious.
Historical question: were church services really that small (2-3 dozen people) for that class of people back in those times?
Yes. UK country churches are rather small, as they tended to only need to support villages and smaller communities.
yes. Highbury was not meant to be a big village. Pretty much every estate and village had a church, so they only needed to support the locals.
Mr and Mrs Suckling are probably relieved she's not there anymore
