Well done, Emma, well done!
I was so impressed with Doug McGrath’s film version of the Jane Austen novel “Emma,” and I loved the music score by Rachel Portman so much, that when I went to the video store one day and discovered the two had re-united for “Nicholas Nickleby” I immediately rented it without any other consideration.I have read the book, and for those overly-critical fans of this Jane Austen adaptation, I don’t know what else McGrath could have done to more perfectly capture the spirit and major plot elements of Miss Austen’s work, especially given the limitations of a two hour movie (which some have complained about being too long!). And as far as Gwen Paltrow’s accent is concerned, I must confess I wasn’t too familiar with her when I saw this at the theater initially, and I was absolutely convinced at the time that she was an English actress!
I am taken aback by those who criticized the film for its lush scenery. That is one of the things I enjoy and look forward to seeing in period pieces set in the English countryside. The film’s beautiful backgrounds are a major contributor to its appeal and success. If your idea of escapist fare is something bleaker, then perhaps you should rent something like “Death Wish III!”
The English country settings are as attractive and charming as the cast, and combine with the story and soundtrack for entertainment that makes you not tire of repeat viewings. McGrath is a wonder at choreographing the interplay of subtle expressions that are so essential in conveying the complicated romantic intrigue that occurs in this story.
This refreshing movie could also be a clinic on how enjoyable a film can be minus sex, violence or even a villainous antagonist. The story is often amusing, endearing, and at times, quite touching.
I have seen many competent Jane Austen book adaptations but this is without question my favorite.
Good, but not brilliant
This is a good adaptation of Austen’s novel. Good, but not brilliant.The cinematography is inventive, crossing at times the border to gimmickry, but it certainly avoids the trap of making this look like a boring TV soap in costumes, given that the entire story is dialogue-driven.
The acting is competent. Ms Paltrow is aloof, as her character requires, but the required distance from the other characters is accompanied by a much less appropriate detachment from her own actions. In other words, she does not seem to care enough of the results of her match-making endeavours. Some of the supporting cast is guilty of over-acting – very much in the style that is appreciated on stage but out of place in motion pictures. Personally, I had problems accepting Alan Cumming as Mr Elton – to no fault of his own, except for having left such an impression as a gay trolley-dolly in “The High Life” that it is now difficult to accept him playing any serious part. Acting honours go to Toni Collette who manages to radiate warmth, and Jeremy Northam who pitches his character at just the right level.
