How neat! I love that movie too!!<BR/><BR/>I really liked the Mansfield Park movie, but I suppose that it is because I hadn't read the book or seen any other versions when I first watched it. That's the only one I've see and although they left out a lot of the book in the movie, I still really like it! But not ever one has to. :)Anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15885442856700369285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37073423.post-65332245423588120222008-02-25T18:39:00.000-06:002008-02-25T18:39:00.000-06:00I liked the Fanny character though she's the one p...I liked the Fanny character though she's the one people either love or hate.Fanny/Edmund reminded me of Molly/Roger from Wives and Daughters.They both took a while to realize who they really loved while they were beguiled by Mary/Cynthia.People also complain that Fanny is "Too good" though I don't think that is a negative.<BR/><BR/>I saw the new Mansfield Park but I didn't care for it.They left too much of the story out and I can't picture Fanny as a blonde! Have you seen the BBC Mansfield Park from 1983? It was one of the first Jane Austen films I saw.I enjoyed it and at 5 hours it can show more of the book.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10900929972397636933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37073423.post-57937003285513294282008-02-20T16:53:00.000-06:002008-02-20T16:53:00.000-06:00"nsowers"~ *Giggles*It was so great to see your "n..."nsowers"~ *Giggles*<BR/>It was so great to see your "name" on my comments list! Thanks for stopping by.<BR/><BR/>Yes, I must admit, I, too, was rather frustrated with Edmund in Mansfield Park. I mean, obviously Fanny loved him. Oh well, it turns out alright in the end.<BR/><BR/>Ooo, your books sound very mysterious (although Northanger Abbey isn't a mystery as mysteries go, but there's some guess work involved).<BR/><BR/>Thank you again for your comment!!

Mainly because I felt as if I was forever waiting for him to finally "notice" Fanny with something more than sisterly affection. And that Crawford lady was quite the villian in my eyes. :)<BR/>I am next going to read "The Mysteries of Udolpho" in preparation for reading "Northanger Abbey".
