We also have huge storage facilities around the country from past productions. I used to work in a costume department that when commissioned it was my job to get the measurements from the actors and actresses who were going to work on the production. Where we could outer garments ie dresses, trousers, etc were reused. Some would have their trimmings changed or removed to make them look differently. Only underwear was made from new and some hats especially the men’s. Authenticity was our watch word. Got to go to a few special first nights which was fun.

I really love the movie. Mr. Tilney's character is very charming and I think he is one of the most intriguing characters of Jane Austen's novels. The sincerity of Catherine and her ways in justifying every behaviour is so adorable ,although she might seem naive to some people ,but she is a good-natured person. The end is very cute indeed ✨

This is probably my favorite Jane Austen story and this adaptation is the best. Her perfect lesson of "reading too many novels" translates so well to the way people watch too much TV today and believe everything that happens in them. I blame that for the main reason so many people are so misled. In fact, from all I've gathered (ironically enough, through reading many 19th century novels), in the 19th century, reading any non-fiction was strongly frowned upon as not only a frivolous waste of paper, but a dangerous influence promoting unrealistic expectations and bad decisions; people who read them were thought to be weak-minded and have "low moral character." But that's one reason I love this movie and book: Because Miss Austen proves those points yet does it so charmingly and with humor. It's a worthy lesson. Considering, too, that this was the first book she wrote (though it was published posthumously), it says quite a lot about her intelligence and wit.

I like that they keep in the fact that Tilney is, at various points, encouraging Catherine's fascination with novels: right when she says 'I know life is not like novels' he contradicts her, then later on remarks that all old houses are haunted ... and he takes responsibility for that, too. So yes, Catherine is young and a bit naive and over-enthusiastic, but she's not stupid. and let's be honest: _everybodys_ fantasies about a favorite movie / novel at age 17 might have looked a bit silly if dragged onto a screen. ;)

It is difficult for a Regency woman to embody Mars, but Catherine does well. She is an heroine. Loves dirt. Pushes through the assembly. Instruction is often torture. She wants to be faithful to her word, whether or not it is convenient for herself. Murder and violence is in her thoughts at all times. Opposition eventually is what brings her and Mr. Tilney together. I love the effect of Ares! Even “Morland” is representative of a “marsh” - which sounds very close to Mars. She is constantly pained.

The adaptation began well, and promised much, but it is a difficult novel to adapt and all depends on not confusing the plot and the argument and assuming that Catherine succumbs to Gothic Romance, and Mr Tilney's caprice, and on not giving lines belonging to Henry to his sister. Eleanor Tilney is very important as a guide to Catherine's sense and taste
@TheObscureRambler Жыл бұрын
But she DOES read Gothic Romance aplenty, and is of a perfect age to be getting ideas. Many things hint towards it. I see no particular wrong there - unless one wants to read Catherine in a better light than she actually should be cast in, or 'simps' for her as the heroine?
@marigeobrien Жыл бұрын
I only recently read this (in fact, I finished it just a week or so ago) and I think it is a very good adaptation. But this is so close and, unlike most of Jane Austen's other work, little is removed and every aspect is kept true. Perhaps this is because this was her first and simplest novel. Also, BTW, at the time this was written the general consensus toward novels was that they were wicked and put all sorts of unrealistic ideas into people's heads. Given they had so little else to compare it to, unlike today, I can see their perspective. I almost think Ms. Austen was trying to show this frivolity. In Europe they were considered merely frivolous. In America they were all but banned and definitely discouraged.

A two-hour film adaptation can never do full justice to a 200-page novel. For that, you need a six-hour miniseries, like the 1995 Pride and Prejudice, for example. If the film is basically faithful to the story and makes you want to read the book, it has done its job.

Knowing that it was the first book she wrote, though the last published (posthumously) may better help to understand Jane Austen's perspective. For a first novel, it was very good.

You are generally right. Comfort may be - that each movie adaption is in itself a piece of art in its own right - which can judge, love or dislike. @@marigeobrien

"Charlatan" may not be the exact term. He was very despotic, with undisputed authority in his family. Everybody shrank in his presence. Back in the day, in general, father's authority was undisputable, but every father was not like this. In the book, neither Eleanor nor Henry spoke in his presence at all, it was all obedience. Henry's only escape was to run away to his own parish house, where he was the master. Here in the film, when the general speaks, Henry indulges in some facial expressions: smiles, raising eyebrows. That was hardly possible. And so, in the end, after despatching Catherine, the general summons Henry and demands to forget her, and now, that you know how much authority this father had, you may appreciate what it took from Henry to rebel against it. In the film, it is all scrambled into 5 minutes, but they did find screen time for nudity scenes, absolutely useless. Now, when he comes to the Morlands' home to propose, the smoochie smoochie part is pure 2007. In the book, Catherine's father replies that the proposal is subject to the other father's (general's) blessing, because his daughter cannot be married without all the proper blessings, it would be a dishonour after the affront that she had suffered already. And Henry has to go back and squeeze a consent out of his father. It's a very good novel. If you have already read the book by now - I'm sorry for this long excursion. :)

So, the cathedral is Called St Carthage Cathedral and its in Lismore, Co Waterford (movie was shot in Ireland). Northanger abbey is Lismore Castle, near the church and is owned by the Duke of Devonshire (same family that owns Chatsworth House in the UK). @@bastianleejones

Some more movie trivia. The house that the moreland family lives in (in the movie) is the same house that the austen family lived in, for the movie Becoming Jane (also in Ireland)

Of all the bad characters on Austin's books, John Thorpe is the worst. It is because he os rotten from the beginning.

Yes, and very casted - looking at the actor´s face I already felt waves of: I don´t like him at all! Thx.

As it mostly is. But this movie is a great solution and attempt to translate the book as artistically as possible.
@janetpattison84742 ай бұрын
First time seeing this movie version of the book. Not nearly as romantic as other Austen stories, and to me it lacked the depth of character and believably that I love in Emma & others, but the book is usually much different than the film.

Well - if Pride and Prejudice is the very pinnacle of her work - the was starting to get momentum with Naorthanger Abbey! Thx. Enjoy though.

I'm sure JJ Feild was a prominent character in the wonderful David Suchet version of "Death on the Nile" And wasn't Mrs. Allen the shy Fanny Price from the excellent "Mansfield Park"? British actors can play any part at any age.
