only Paltrow

I have to admit, Gwyneth Paltrow played the book's lithe, mellow, and feisty, noble lady tune. It's a pity that the other actors have chosen the wrong person, which seems to be out of proportion and loses the interest between the characters in Austen's novel. Harriet's casting was particularly bad, with the actresses trying so hard to play dumb that it was a headache.
The casual innuendo in the original book degenerates into self-righteous cleverness in the movie, and the natural humor in the original book looks funny and cartoony in the movie. But Paltrow is indeed the Emma in my mind, so let's give this film a pass.

    #观影记# 1123 The theme is marriage must be right. It was the most highly rated Austin work that year. That's why. But it's really ridiculous, Emma thinks herself, Miss Harnett sees one and loves one. But this version of the casting is really good, seems to be the only time I like Gwyneth Paltrow's interpretation.

Emma quotes

  • Mr. Knightley: Emma, how could you be so unfeeling to Miss Bates? How can you be so insolent to a woman of her age and situation? I had not thought it possible.

    Emma: How could I help saying it? I daresay she did not understand me.

    Mr. Knightley: I assure you, she felt your full meaning. She cannot stop mentioning it. I wish you could have heard her honour your forbearance in putting up with her when her society is so irksome.

    Emma: I know there is no better creature in all the world, but you must allow that blended alongside the good, there is an equal amount of the ridiculous in her.

    Mr. Knightley: Were she prosperous or a woman equal to you in situation, I would not quarrel with you about any liberties of manner. But she is poor, even more so than when she was born. And should she live to be an old lady, she will sink further still. Her situation being in every way below you should secure your compassion! Badly done, Emma. Badly done. She has watched you grow from a time when her notice of you was an honour to this, humbling her, laughing at her in front of people who would be guided by your treatment of her. It is not pleasant for me to say these things, but I must tell you the truth while I can, proving myself your friend by the most faithful counsel, trusting that sometime you will do my faith in you greater justice that you do it now.

  • Mr. Knightley: The truest friend does not doubt... but hope.
