  • My favourite #JaneAusten #NorthangerAbbey classical novel movie adaption. Felicity Jones acting as Mrs. Morland is marvellous and JJ Feild charming smile transcending - as his wit and eloquence. The music is brilliant.
    I love English Literature of the 19th Century - and I think that beauty, depth, skill and education shall be spread and people shall feel inspired to meddle with the beauties of life like music, art, science, religions and spirituality, philosophy and literature - driven by imagination, curiosity, creativity, spirit.
    Everybody in the world shall be able to take part in that. That´s why I subtitle all movie adaptions in #english #deutsch #français #espagnol #bahasaindonesia #arabian #hindi #chinese - as contribution to mutual understanding and peace among the peoples!
    Comments - whether they might be appraising or critical are very welcome. Please stay polite. Thank you to the rights owner giving the permission that this adaption can be shown on youtube! Best - yours Bastian Lee Jones (composer, songwriter, pianoplayer, photographer & moviemaker) linktr.ee/bastian_lee_jones

    I really love the movie. Mr. Tilney's character is very charming and I think he is one of the most intriguing characters of Jane Austen's novels. The sincerity of Catherine and her ways in justifying every behaviour is so adorable ,although she might seem naive to some people ,but she is a good-natured person. The end is very cute indeed ✨

      We also have huge storage facilities around the country from past productions. I used to work in a costume department that when commissioned it was my job to get the measurements from the actors and actresses who were going to work on the production. Where we could outer garments ie dresses, trousers, etc were reused. Some would have their trimmings changed or removed to make them look differently. Only underwear was made from new and some hats especially the men’s. Authenticity was our watch word. Got to go to a few special first nights which was fun.

    It is difficult for a Regency woman to embody Mars, but Catherine does well. She is an heroine. Loves dirt. Pushes through the assembly. Instruction is often torture. She wants to be faithful to her word, whether or not it is convenient for herself. Murder and violence is in her thoughts at all times. Opposition eventually is what brings her and Mr. Tilney together. I love the effect of Ares!
    Even “Morland” is representative of a “marsh” - which sounds very close to Mars. She is constantly pained. Love it! 💕

    I like that they keep in the fact that Tilney is, at various points, encouraging Catherine's fascination with novels: right when she says 'I know life is not like novels' he contradicts her, then later on remarks that all old houses are haunted ... and he takes responsibility for that, too. So yes, Catherine is young and a bit naive and over-enthusiastic, but she's not stupid.
    and let's be honest: _everybodys_ fantasies about a favorite movie / novel at age 17 might have looked a bit silly if dragged onto a screen. ;)

    • @bastianleejones

      @@bastianleejones Thank you! I'm never going to get over the fact that a lot of the Bennet-Darcy conversations which Miss Austen wrote ended up on the floor of the cutting room 😭😭😭. She was _so_ good at writing characters cross-talk to each other! Darcy trying to sound out Elizabeth Bennet's emotions in Rosings while she is barely listening to him must have been awesome.
      *First* thing I do once scientists finally the time machine running is to abduct a good doctor, drag him back to Regency England to fix Miss Austen's health, and then go after those scenes.

    The adaptation began well, and promised much, but it is a difficult novel to adapt and all depends on not confusing the plot and the argument and assuming that Catherine succumbs to Gothic Romance, and Mr Tilney's caprice, and on not giving lines belonging to Henry to his sister. Eleanor Tilney is very important as a guide to Catherine's sense and taste

    • @TheObscureRambler
      @TheObscureRambler Před rokem +11

      But she DOES read Gothic Romance aplenty, and is of a perfect age to be getting ideas. Many things hint towards it. I see no particular wrong there - unless one wants to read Catherine in a better light than she actually should be cast in, or 'simps' for her as the heroine?

    • @marigeobrien
      @marigeobrien Před 10 měsíci +13

      I only recently read this (in fact, I finished it just a week or so ago) and I think it is a very good adaptation. But this is so close and, unlike most of Jane Austen's other work, little is removed and every aspect is kept true. Perhaps this is because this was her first and simplest novel.
      Also, BTW, at the time this was written the general consensus toward novels was that they were wicked and put all sorts of unrealistic ideas into people's heads. Given they had so little else to compare it to, unlike today, I can see their perspective. I almost think Ms. Austen was trying to show this frivolity. In Europe they were considered merely frivolous. In America they were all but banned and definitely discouraged.

    I never knew of this Jane Austin novel, but so glad I watched it. It’s no pride and prejudice, but the acting was good, but feel the movie fell short a bit on the whole family issue of the Father being a Charlatan. It seemed very rushed at the end.
    But that being said, I loved that Henry cast his Father and chose Catherine for a happy life over the fortune.

      Well - I think this adaptian made the best out of it in a dense concise way. It is a piece of art in itself and can stand the novel in a certain way. great you discovered it! Best regards.

      A two-hour film adaptation can never do full justice to a 200-page novel. For that, you need a six-hour miniseries, like the 1995 Pride and Prejudice, for example. If the film is basically faithful to the story and makes you want to read the book, it has done its job.

      Knowing that it was the first book she wrote, though the last published (posthumously) may better help to understand Jane Austen's perspective. For a first novel, it was very good.

    • @bastianleejones

      You are generally right. Comfort may be - that each movie adaption is in itself a piece of art in its own right - which can judge, love or dislike. @@marigeobrien

      "Charlatan" may not be the exact term. He was very despotic, with undisputed authority in his family. Everybody shrank in his presence. Back in the day, in general, father's authority was undisputable, but every father was not like this.
      In the book, neither Eleanor nor Henry spoke in his presence at all, it was all obedience. Henry's only escape was to run away to his own parish house, where he was the master. Here in the film, when the general speaks, Henry indulges in some facial expressions: smiles, raising eyebrows. That was hardly possible. And so, in the end, after despatching Catherine, the general summons Henry and demands to forget her, and now, that you know how much authority this father had, you may appreciate what it took from Henry to rebel against it. In the film, it is all scrambled into 5 minutes, but they did find screen time for nudity scenes, absolutely useless.
      Now, when he comes to the Morlands' home to propose, the smoochie smoochie part is pure 2007. In the book, Catherine's father replies that the proposal is subject to the other father's (general's) blessing, because his daughter cannot be married without all the proper blessings, it would be a dishonour after the affront that she had suffered already. And Henry has to go back and squeeze a consent out of his father.
      It's a very good novel.
      If you have already read the book by now - I'm sorry for this long excursion. :)

      In the book, Eleanor is a very promising character, but, IMO, unfinished, just a sketch. As soon as something interesting starts about her, she disappears, and a new scene starts.
      Even her love story doesn't appear before the epilogue.
      But in this film she's quite a presence, much more complete, it seems. Catherine was just a naive spring chicken compared to Eleanor, who does have some depth and some past.

      Most square dances and English country dances are adaptations of these kinds of dances, which themselves go back further than this. The "Virginia Reel" is an almost exact copy of a popular English dance at the time. Like ladies fashions, I guess they travelled well across the pond.
