Thinking Things Over

A long walk around Rosings reading Mr. Darcy's letter...all is revealed and things are not as they seemed.

"Her feelings as she read were scarcely to be defined. ... She read with an eagerness which hardly left her power of comprehension, and from impatience of knowing what the next sentence might bring, was incapable of attending to the sense of the one before her eyes."

I think I shall switch after this and go on to another film probably coming back to P&P at a later date.

Waiting

"I begin to be sorry that he comes at all," said Jane to her sister. "It would be nothing: I could see him with perfect indifference; but I can hardly bear to hear it thus perpetually talked of. My mother means well; but she does not know -- no one can know -- how much I suffer from what she says. Happy shall I be when his stay at Netherfield is over!"

The elegance of the room and of Jane's figure standing looking out is just so picturesque.

A Long Walk

Nothing beats a long walk in the country with...Elizabeth Bennet. Yes, you guessed it our next film is P&P95 with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. My favorite P&P adaptation, I always forget how lovely and complete this adaptation is until I watch it again or see another screencap from it. The acting is very talented, costumes stylish for the period (they certainly don't have ugly clothes even though they might have made them themselves!), music and dancing are excellent, screenplay very extensive and takes the time to include so many details, and the scenery is amazing!

Above we see Elizabeth Bennet out for a walk along a lazy lane enjoying herself immensly and not doubt is her beauty heighted by the exercise! I love the colors in this particular scene, so simple and natural and much like autumn.

Afternoon Tea

"Very like Maple Grove indeed! She was quite struck by the likeness! That room was the very shape and size of the morning-room at Maple Grove; her sister's favourite room." Mr. Elton was appealed to. "Was not it astonishingly like? She could really almost fancy herself at Maple Grove."

Here ends my screencaps for this adaptation of Emma though there is so much more I could do! Such a lovely film but I want to get to others.

Sweets of Friendship

"Business, you know, may bring money, but friendship hardly ever does." - John Knightley, Emma

The above quote is true though I will always prefer friendship to money. The freedom to talk about anything is the thing I most prize about friendship. Here Emma and Mrs. Weston (poor Miss Taylor!) enjoy a walk in the Hartfield gardens enjoying the Sweets of Friendship.
