Emma
I saw the new version of Emma at the movies last night! It was good. BEAUTIFUL scenery and costumes, oh my gosh.
I’ve said this before but I never really warmed to Emma the character. I was much more a Miss Bates and Harriet Smith kind of person. And both of them were perfect in this! So that was nice.
Honestly, Miranda Hart is absolutely perfect casting for Miss Bates. There literally couldn’t have been anyone better.
Her big important scene (you know the one if you’ve read the book) was wonderfully acted too.
Gotta admit, I did actually like Emma the person more in this than in the book. Her moment of ur, I guess these days we’d call it cancellation was well done and it made me feel for her. But start saying thank you to your servants for god’s sake! It was so annoying to me that none of the upper-class characters ever did that.
