"EMMA" (2020) Review

Between 2009 and 2020, Hollywood and the British film/television industries have created a handful of productions that either spoofed या were inspired द्वारा Jane Austen's novels. Actually, I can only recall one movie that was और या 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 और thrilled that this new movie would be a straightforward adaptation of Austen's 1815 novel,...

"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 प्रशंसकों is the 1972 BBC miniseries, "EMMA".

Emma Woodhouse imagines herself to be naturally gifted matchmaker, following her self-declared success in arranging a प्यार 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 या constantly mentioned द्वारा many of the novelist's present-day fans. And one of the four happens to be the movie adapted in 1940 द्वारा Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

Directed द्वारा 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 द्वारा a distant male cousin. For years, this version...

Below is a look at the fictional rogues - male and female - created द्वारा Jane Austen in the six published novels written द्वारा her. So, without further ado . . .
