My senior year of high school we were given the assignment of reading Pride and Prejudice. I loved it. Well, I didn't actually read it, but I did rent the 6 hour COLIN FIRTH version before the test.
I have since seen Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park, and Emma. I love the old British romance each movie offers. Like the other films, Becoming Jane was about a strong-minded young woman and two men...one that is her soulmate but wrong for her and another man that she doesn't love but is wealthy.
Oh my gosh were you not SO depressed after watching that? Having read (or watched) Jane Austen's stories, and then seeing her "real" life? My friend Heather and I went to see it in the theater, and the moment it was over, we were both like, "Aaaaaand cue manic depression."
