I want someone to make a movie of one of Austen's novels but from the servants' perspective.

Like, I want the Bennets complaining about how poor they are while their servant is in the background serving them food just like

Or someone is dropping some piece of gossip and the servants are dusting something in the background while going

I don't care if it's a comedy or treated seriously or if it's a crossover between Austen's novels and all the servants of her characters know each other or something.

I would also accept this for any classic story about rich people.

I just wanna see things from the servants' perspective.

time to lay in bed again, wondering why a man written by Jane Austen in a billowing white shirt isn't professing his undying love to me in prose

One Dress a Day Challenge

July: Blue Redux + Green Redux

I Have Found It (Kandukondain Kandukondain) / Aishwarya Rai as Meenakshi and Tabu as Sowmya

When I first designated the theme for July, I knew I had to include shots from this sequence, probably the most gorgeous riot of blue and green I've ever seen on film. I am including wide shots of most of the scenes to show the costumes of the chorus and extras as well. Note that when the two sisters are onscreen at the same time, the background characters divide themselves up so that those in blue are on Sowmya's side and those in green are on Meenakshi's.

(This is an adaptation of Sense and Sensibility, by the way. Sowmya is the equivalent to Eleanor and Meenakshi is Marianne.)

See the whole sequence here, because it's even more amazing with motion:

Recent Austen adaptations yelling

Ok I DID make this blog to review historical-set Pride & Prejudice adaptations (with an exception made for iconic B&P). But for everyone who was DEFINITELY WONDERING, yes I have also been storing away a lot of opinions about other recent Austen adaptations that I Must Tell Someone.

.

Fire island (2022)

A modern gay party cheesy rom-com P&P that genuinely made me laugh. Having seen some other (whiter) cheesy gay romcoms that were extreeeemely PG & playing it safe, I was pleasantly surprised.

Also Bowen Yang and his story just came across really earnest in a way I was into - would watch this man cry again, 10/10.

Personally as an extremely disabled british nerd (now tragically unable to travel and/or go to the club...) this gay scene is a long way from my queer scene. But I still had emotions, you know?

Kinda wanted more of the Mary analogue and generally just normal looking people (almost everyone is so ripped) but I appreciate that's how beautiful smooth people often look in mainstream american films, we can't have everything.

DARCY WATCH: I do not want to dress like this adaptation's chinos Mr Darcy. But Conrad Ricamora was generally great and very hot and awkward and understood the assignment. Good ice cream throw.

.

Emma (2020)

I know I know, it's pretty... but I don't think that's enough!!!!!

Lovely production, beautiful costumes, a candy wes-anderson cinematography that really suits the story, and it's fun to notice references to actual outfits and prints from the time but lads. LADS. UNPOPULAR OPINION TIME: Where is the chemistry???

You can’t make Mr Knightley a nice sweet boy (so funny to have cast a posh folksy singing man) and leave the plot the same and expect it to work!! Also I was personally pissed off that a lot of the promo/ ads for this made it look like ~forbidden love~ when it's the 2 richest white people in town getting together?? ? There's actually not even a class difference in this one, guys.

Basically this romance was nothing to me!!! I felt nothing!!!!!!!! WHERE'S THE DEPTH

I did like the bit where he lies down though. Relatable.

Also why are you drawing so much attention to the servants when you don’t seem to have anything to say about class...? 'Wow look how many servants they had! Anyway, they don't get any speaking lines'... it's 2020 guys!!! like what are we saying here. 'isn't it cool to think about how people were rich'??

kind of the point of Emma (character) is she's pretty superficial, but the story does not, in fact, have to be

.

Persuasion (2022)

Weeping softly into a pillow........ did you know this version meant a version with Sarah Snook and Joel Fry got cancelled?? we could have had it all

(standing on a table yelling) THE MODERNISATION WAS NOT THE PROBLEM WITH THIS FILM!!!

Honestly I actively liked all the entire secondary cast in this. Louisa and Mary were extremely charming fun takes to watch. ('I'm an empath' IS right for the character if you're doing modern jokes!!!) And nobody can deny this was a correct and powerful use of Richard E Grant.

Henry Golding was naturally great. Apparently he got offered the lead and took the villain instead, which DOES mean the villain is super charming and fun to watch which is... hard to match and.... kind of shows up.... the main man.

It's been said before but the main two were WOEFUL imo. I have no beef with the actors I just question the DIRECTION and whether anyone making this knew (or cared) why people... enjoy things.

Book Anne is the quietest gentlest loser and I LOVE HER and so does basically every Austen nerd. Making her a quirky wine-bath girl who's honestly just cruel sometimes fully stops the main romance chemistry and plot from working.

And it means the main boy is still like 'god I'm so horny for how KIND AND CAPABLE YOU ARE' which is just 100% no longer true. You can't transplant a personality in a romance but leave the plot the exact same and expect it to work. The chemistry IS the plot in a romance..........

you can't act morally superior to your siblings and still rate people out of ten.... also so funny to me that everyone else gets period outfits and hair whereas this protagonist looks like she just glanced at a picture of any time in the past and grabbed a couple shirts from primark. it doen't even look good or build character!!!!!

Anyway, not to be an elderly man like 'ohhh why does nobody care about character these days' but the reason something like Clueless works is because it has the heart of the story right, instead of just copying the surface level stuff.

#making all of these a single post which probably means nobody will reblog it ever. OH WELL #emma 2020 #persuasion 2022 #fire island #austen adaptations #full disclosure yes I was midway through making a queer regency romance GN whose plot is partly based on emma and p&p when i saw 2020 emma #so YES.......... i have strong opinions... possibly UNPOPULAR ONES..........#anyway if you enjoy the things i'm complaining about more power to you. I'M TOO BORING tO ENJOY THEM UNFORTUNATELY

Mansfield Park (1999) might be a fairly dated and inaccurate Austen adaptation, but Henry Crawford is literally the hottest man on this planet

#mansfield park #Mansfield Park #Jane Austen #austen adaptations #fanny price #henry crawford #english literature #pride and prejudice #sense and sensibility #emma #persuasion #northanger abbey #also why does edmund look so ugly #he looks like he plays rugby #or like oliver wood with sideburns #also henry crawford looks like enjolras that's probably why i think he's hot

In light of the terrible SNL skit on the try guys scandal i had some thoughts-

Jane Austen would hate Ned Fulmer.

It has been a constant in our society to belittle things women enjoy, 200 years ago novels were considered silly due to the fact that mainly women enjoyed them. Since the try guys have a large female following their content is now being deemed silly by groups like SNL

If Jane Austen were here she would make a novel about this to set the record straight

Persuasion (2022) is the price lit majors and Austen enthusiasts pay for Fire Island (2022)

#jane austen #persuasion #netflix persuasion #fire island #austen adaptations #it is a heavy price #we should all support the superior austen adaptation (fire island)#Persuasion teetering into horror due to how abjectly horrible it subjects others to its monstrosity #usually i support anything austen #but there is a line that shouldn’t be crossed #and that line is persuasion 2022 #sometimes it is better to keep projects in the drafts

Did you hear? The whole of Rational Creatures is now released and ready to binge for free on YouTube!

Whether you're interested in a modern twist on Jane Austen's Persuasion or simply looking for a soft, HEA series full of queer people to get you through a long winter night, we think you'll like it.

The whole series takes just under 2 hours to watch (Less than most movies!) and was written and directed by an all-female creative team.

Lindas ilustrações da edição em espanhol de Lady Susan da Jane Austen! Feitas por Javier Olivares (@olivaresilustracion) Apesar de menos conhecido, Lady Susan é envolvente, hilário e meio chocante. Dizem que Jane Austen baseou sua anti-heroína em uma de suas concunhadas. Para saber mais é só ler aqui.
