"SENSE AND SENSIBILITY" (1981) Review

Jane Austen's 1811 novel, "Sense and Sensibility" has been a 最喜爱的 with her modern-day fans. The novel has produced at least three 电视 and two movie adaptations and a literary parody. However, this review is about the seven-part, 1981 BBC adaptation.

Directed 由 Rodney Bennett and adapted 由 Alexander Baron and Denis Constanduros, "SENSE AND SENSIBILITY" starred Irene Richards and Tracey Childs as the two main protagonists - sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood. The story focused on the sisters' attempts to find happiness in the tightly structured...

"PERSUASION" (1995) Review

Twenty-four years after the BBC aired its 1971 version of Jane Austen’s 1818 novel, ”Persuasion”; and twelve years before ITV aired its adaptation; Columbia Pictures released its own version on British 电视 and in movie theaters across the U.S. The movie went on to become highly acclaimed, the winner of a BAFTA TV award for Best Single Drama, and regarded as the definitive version of Austen’s novel.

Directed 由 Roger Michell, ”PERSUASION” told the story of Anne Elliot, the middle daughter of an impoverished baronet in Regency England. Seven 或者 eight...

Man considers himself the creator of all, even god for that matter! He thinks of himself as the master of his destiny, the controller of all events and the ultimate doer!

All of this is completely true! But one thing goes missing in this theory. It is the fact that man, to do everything that he does, has to fall upon something for motivation and inspiration.

Different strokes for different folks may be the case here, but one stroke that stands common is movies. Accept it 或者 deny it, 电影院 play a very important role in motivating a man. Not only do they motivate us, they also assist us in developing...

"NORTHANGER ABBEY" (1986) Review

Most movie and 电视 adaptations of Jane Austen’s novels are either highly acclaimed 或者 perhaps even liked 由 粉丝 and critics alike. I can only think of two 或者 three adaptations that have been dismissed them. And one of them happened to be the 1986 A&E Network/BBC adaptation of Austen’s 1817 novel, "Northanger Abbey".

Adapted 由 Maggie Wadey, "NORTHANGER ABBEY" follows the experiences of seventeen-year-old 哥特式 novel aficionado, Catherine Morland, who is invited 由 her parents’ friends, Mr. and Mrs. Allen, to accompany them on a visit to Bath,...

"MANSFIELD PARK" (1983) Review

Long before Patricia Rozema wrote and directed her 1999 adaptation of "Mansfield Park", Jane Austen’s 1814 novel, the BBC aired its own adaptation some sixteen years earlier. This one came in the form of a six-part miniseries and is regarded 由 many Austen 粉丝 as the definitive screen version of the novel.

"MANSFIELD PARK" told the story of Fanny Price, the oldest daughter of a former Royal Navy officer, who is sent 由 her parents to live with her wealthy aunt and uncle-in-law, Sir Thomas and Lady Bertram, at their estate called Mansfield Park, during the early...

"PERSUASION" (1971) Review

This adaptation of Jane Austen’s 1818 novel turned out to be the first of the old Jane Austen 电视 adaptations that the BBC aired during the 1970s and 80s. Produced and directed 由 Howard Baker, and adapted 由 Julian Mitchell; this two-part miniseries starred Ann Firbanks and Bryan Marshall.

As many 粉丝 of Austen’s novel would know, ”PERSUASION” told the story of Anne Elliot, the middle daughter of a vain and spendthrift baronet, who finds herself reunited with her former finance, a Naval officer of lesser birth named Frederick Wentworth. Eight years...

SOCIAL CLASS AND THE BENNET FAMILY IN "PRIDE AND PREJUDICE"

Considering how long I have been a 粉丝 of Jane Austen’s 1813 novel, "PRIDE AND PREJUDICE" and its numerous 电视 and movie adaptations, I am surprised that I have never considered something about its heroine, Elizabeth Bennet, and her family. Ever since I have been 阅读 numerous 文章 about the novel and its adaptations, I have noticed that many have labeled the Bennet family as members of the middle-class 或者 the upper middle-class in Regency England. And it finally occurred to me that many of these 粉丝 were in error....

"CONSEQUENCES OF LUST"

All of Jane Austen's completed novels were first published during the Regency decade between 1810 and 1819, leaving present-day 粉丝 to celebrate the 200th anniversaries of each novel during this decade (2010-2019). Among those novels are "PRIDE AND PREJUDICE", now celebrating its bicentennial anniversary and "MANSFIELD PARK", which will be doing the same 下一个 year.

"PRIDE AND PREJUDICE" told the story of five daughters of an English landowner named Mr. Bennet, whose wife is desperate to find husbands for them all. The novel was written from the viewpoint of Mr. Bennet's...

"EMMA" (2020) Review

Between 2009 and 2020, Hollywood and the British film/television industries have created a handful of productions that either spoofed 或者 were inspired 由 Jane Austen's novels. Actually, I can only recall one movie that was 更多 或者 less a straightforward adaptation - 2016's "LOVE & FRIENDSHIP", an adaptation of Austen's novella, "Lady Susan". So imagine my surprise when I learned a new and straightforward adaptation of an Austen novel was due to hit the theaters.

I was even 更多 thrilled that this new movie would be a straightforward adaptation of Austen's 1815 novel,...

"PRIDE AND PREJUDICE" (1980) Review

As many 粉丝 of Jane Austen must know, there have been several screen and 电视 adaptations of the author’s most celebrated novel, "Pride and Prejudice", published in 1813. I usually come across at least five of those versions – including the six-part BBC adaptation that aired in the U.S. in 1980. The miniseries was adapted 由 Fay Weldon and directed 由 Cyril Coke.

Only someone unfamiliar with Austen’s story would not know that "PRIDE AND PREJUDICE" told the story of Elizabeth Bennet, the second-born daughter of an English gentleman and landowner...

"EMMA" (1972) Review

I am aware of at least four adaptation of Jane Austen's 1815 novel, "Emma". But I have noticed that the one adaptation that rarely attracts the attention of the novelist's 粉丝 is the 1972 BBC miniseries, "EMMA".

Directed 由 John Glenister and adapted 由 Denis Constanduros, "EMMA" told the story of the precocious younger daughter of a wealthy landowner that resides near the village of Highbury. Emma Woodhouse imagines herself to be naturally gifted matchmaker, following her self-declared success in arranging a 爱情 match between her governess and Mr. Weston, a village widower....

"PRIDE AND PREJUDICE" (1940) Review

There have been at least eight adaptations of "Pride and Prejudice", Jane Austen's 1813 novel. But as far as I know, only four are well known 或者 constantly mentioned 由 many of the novelist's present-day fans. And one of the four happens to be the movie adapted in 1940 由 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

Directed 由 Robert Z. Leonard, "PRIDE AND PREJUDICE" told the story of the five unmarried daughters of a 19th century English landowner and the efforts of his shrill wife to get them married before his estate is inherited 由 a distant male cousin. For years, this version...

"SENSE AND SENSIBILITY" (1971) Review

For some reason, I still find it hard to believe that until recently, very few people were aware that the first adaptation of Jane Austen's 1811 novel, "Sense and Sensibility", dated as far back as 1971. After all, people have been aware of other Austen adaptations during this same period 或者 earlier. Even the Wikipedia site fails to mention it, except in connection with one of the cast members. What was about this four-part miniseries that eluded so many Austen fans?


In "SENSE AND SENSIBILITY", a wealthy landowner named Mr. Dashwood dies, leaving his two...

MARY AND HENRY CRAWFORD IN "MANSFIELD PARK"

Every time I read an 文章 或者 review about Jane Austen's 1814 novel, "MANSFIELD PARK", the authors of these 文章 always 评论 on the unpopularity of the novel's leading character, Fanny Price. I could say the same about most 文章 and reviews on the novel's 电视 and movie adaptations. Time and again, both critics and others claim that most Austen 粉丝 have a low opinion of Fanny Price. At the same time, these same commentators like to point out the popularity of the novel's antagonists, Henry and Mary Crawford.
