Rating:  - Emma
Emma is a mischevious young woman whose hobby seems to be that of "matchmaker" for others, and in doing so loses sight of her personal needs for love and affection. It is a delight to see her "wake-up" to the fact that in taking care of the needs of others, we cannot ignore our own needs. Even the Bible acknowledges that our love for others is regulated ny our own healthy love of one's self.
Rating: - Beautiful Movie
After reading Jane Austen's Emma and thoroughly enjoying it I got this movie out from the library. This is a beautiful film and I love the people they chose to play the part of each character. Kate Beckinsale played Emma just as I imagined her to be. It would have been have been preferably if they had made the movie longer, but it was still wonderful.
Rating: - Loved this version
We love this version of Emma. We've watched it several times, and enjoy it each time. Definitely would recommend this one!
Rating:  - Boring
I watched this adaptation on television. I thought that I would enjoy it (I had enjoyed the theatrical version with Gwyneth Paltrow), but I was mistaken. This one just couldn't hold my interest, and I was watching the clock throughout, waiting for the whole boring mess to be over with. It's only been a couple of weeks since I watched it, and I can barely remember anything that happened. I guess it really couldn't hold my attention!
I can't comment on whether or not it was a faithful adaptation from the book. When I tried to read it a few years ago, I got bored and never finished. Having recently watched six adaptations of the Jane Austen works on Masterpiece Theatre, I can say that, for me, "Emma" is the weakest of the bunch.
Rating:  - Great service
I was pleased with the speed of the service. I was also pleased with the price.
