Yes, the eye rolls😂

🙄 No it’s a really lowbrow joke which drags the whole thing down

​@@hannahs1683Nah, it's most realistic and terribly amusing.

Ya gotta love Bill Nighy. Always a fabulous performance!

The costumes are not even that stylized, the regency period just looked like *that* lol

​@@rachaelpoulin1997I think those are more from the 1840s (at least in this scene) which is 30 years after the Regency Period. This would be like having folks wearing Y2K fashion on That 70s Show.

And Mrs. Bates caught the spirit there for a sec cause she had to stand up.

That is an incredibly low bar to clear, good things in 2020 were very scarce.

She caught the spirit. She had to praise the Lordt.

Me too

I couldn't agree more, British period drama/comedy at its best with a dash of dark humour always a tad over-the-top.

i agree! the casting is also very good, all of the actors have a very severe look about them.

Yes well, they created a satire that is deliberately over the top. 😆 Except for Miss Taylor, who's in fact wonderfully normal, everyone's a caricature bursting of eccentricity.

@@NiVi192 Word. It feels more like a parody of Jane Austen's book than an adaptation. That, and I loved the fact that movies like the (by now classic?) BBC Pride&Prejudice version didn't insist stuffing the characters into the 1995 fashion. To me that feels like respect towards the audience: _Hi there, we think you are capable of recognizing that a woman is pretty even if we don't put _*_glaringly obvious lipstick_*_ onto her._

Emma is meant to be a comedy lol also I’m confused. Are you saying you dislike this movie?

Charles Who?

@@daffodilsanddogwoods9695 Charles, the prince of Wales

Yes!! Me too! Are you also a fan of The Crown??

Yes! Thank you because I couldn’t figure out where I have seen him before

This role perhaps a bit more like Charles, but if you want to see Josh O'Connor's acting range, see him in "God's own country". He almost physically transforms.

We once visited a church, having recently moved. We had no idea there were seatings that church goers prized and felt very protective of. Wouldn't you know it, we chose, by accident, a pew that "belonged" to a family in the old guard, so to speak. We had no idea. Needless to say, we never went back. A kind deacon did tell us as we left after the service that generally long standing members sat in certain places. I said, "Well, we're sorry to have upset the apple cart. We do wish someone would have told us. We never would have taken their seats. In all fairness though, we thought we were in God's house, not theirs."

@@NanaPapa123 We used to sit in front of an older couple who proudly informed us one Sunday that they had chased off some visitors who tried to sit in "our" pew. We never sat there again!

@@cathipalmer8217 Isn't that something? I'm sure you didn't even know what to say. I wouldn't have thought of a decent reply (until maybe 2 AM, lol) I wish people wouldn't do things like this. :-(

I saw it more as a social hierarchy being displaced. You can see that Emma and Mr. Woodhouse and the Weston's were on one side down the front. They are the landed gentry in the village - they don't have to work. Mr and Mrs Cole are on the aisle across from them down the front, as well Mrs Bates and Miss Bates, with Jane Fairfax. They are the gentry that come from work. Down the back you see Mrs Goddard's school with her girls on the side of Emma's aisle. This is usually because Mrs. Goddard is school for young ladies. Then on the other side the other people of the town. By Mrs. Elton showing up and taking that first row, it upsets the hierarchy. First, because she is now the pastors wife. Second, because she is a new bride. But thirdly, it knocks Emma down a peg for not having the most important seat in the church.

​@@stephaniejane306but in the book, Knightley tells Emma that Miss Bates used to have as much status as Emma now has, and it is in poor taste to show her disrespect. Sounds like she's Old Money who came down in the world.

It reminds me of the stepsisters in the Disney Cinderella. I didn't know that was an actual fashion.

I thought of Olive Oyl. 🤣

@@deniseleaps exactly 😅

She's very fashion forward. Clairvoyant even 😂😂😂

Apart from the weird frilly thing around her neck, I'd say that's a realistic regency evening outfit. It makes about as much sense as Emma Woodhouse wearing a ostrich-feather decorated riding hat at a small town church service. So bascially: Emma get's ridiculously pimped up, but in a way to look good to a 21st century audience. The Eltens get ridiculously pimped up, but in a way to look bad to a 21st century audience. I do wish they'd published this movie as "Wes Anderson's Emma", just as a heads-up.

Forgive me, the grammar is when she stood..

Christina Cole is

I agree. Tanya did a fantastic job playing as her 🤣

@@kenna163 my other favourite is Julia Stevenson 💕 This one wasn't as sneering, or as ponderous as Julia's version, both of which I loved 😄 Julia was just a bit older for the part, or so she seemed 💓

Especially when it comes to anything remotely historical. Background knowledge really kills off willing suspension of disbelief when a a stick-thin Elizabeth Bennet mouth-breaths her way through a regency-era story. And that's _before_ she strolls through the landscape in her PYs.

I award you 100 points for correctly using the word boon⭐️

@@Julia-lk8jn Please know that I agree with you pretty much point for point, and I have MANY gripes with the 2005 movie, but! Keira Knightley being thin is actually one of the few things that I think they got right. We’re given several indications that Elizabeth is thinner than ideal by the beauty standards of the time: Mr Darcy’s second impression of Elizabeth: “Though he had detected with a critical eye more than one failure of perfect symmetry in her form, he was forced to acknowledge her figure to be light and pleasing.” In comparison with Georgiana: “Miss Darcy was tall, and on a larger scale than Elizabeth; and, though little more than sixteen, her figure was formed, and her appearance womanly and graceful.” Caroline, when insulting Elizabeth’s appearance, says: “Her face is too thin”. And finally, in comparison with Jane, who we can assume is more or less the ideal of statuesque beauty: “Jane, who was not so light, nor so much in the habit of running as Elizabeth, soon lagged behind”. Jane Austen was never very descriptive when it came to her characters, so it’s hard to say exactly how thin Elizabeth is-but I think it’s fair to say that she’s probably closer to Knightley than Ehle. Sorry for this mini essay more than a year after your comment, I’m just very attached to the fact that Elizabeth is unconventionally attractive by the standards of her time!

It's on netflix~

Love it

It really is quite good

It came out in 2020

Jane Austen subtlety out, Wes Anderson quirkiness in - double check

Not enough Maple Grove. In the books she talked about it so much I wanted to scream

Yep, that's a perfect 2020 look in a regency era story, no question. Oh joy!

They were also together in the psychological thriller, Marrowbone.

That interpretation makes this movie *so* much better!

She would fit in there perfectly.

Maybe under-cover as Mrs Elton?

The bow? It’s her hair.

Latest fashion of the day 😅

@@mariar3767 1830s actually but it still works so well for mrs. elton bc it's so ridiculous

@@avengerwidow9 she was ahead of her time.

@@ameliecarre4783 she truly was lol 😂

She was insulting Emma the entire time

i believe it's supposed to be a joke... because she's "old" and probably has bad hearing she probably misheard that they were supposed to rise or something

@@annacarollina7703 aaah, I see! Thanks Anna

In the liturgy e.g. when the epistle is read everyone stands up.

@@susannabonke8552 ah, thank you

But she is so condescending and snobby. She uses compliments as an opportunity to also make the following points to her hosts : a) I have VERY wealthy relatives b) I come from a VERY elite lifestyle c) I didnt expect this house to be so impressive (meaning, I thought properties here would be pretty ordinary) and d) I didn't expect people in the sticks to be so engaging and cultivated (meaning, I thought you lot would all be country bumpkins). Mrs E could have just stuck to saying nice things, but it's the other stuff she adds on or implies that grinds Emma's gears.

Yes

Well then, this actress would be a good Olive Oil in Popeye.
