"Oh, hush. Not all of us can afford to be romantic."

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (2005) Dir. Joe Wright

I like The Other Bennet Sister for what it is, its version of Mary is a great likable nuanced character, but she's just straight-up not Austen's Mary Bennet. Mary in Pride and Prejudice (and the more faithful adaptations) reads but doesn't understand, and doesn't think critically about what she reads. She just parrots. That's why she's seen as just as silly as her younger sisters - not because people hate introverts. She's also a moralizing rules stickler, while again, not really understanding what she's saying. I'm more than okay with TOBS’ version of things because it (accidentally?) made a better character* - this Mary is essentially a more introverted, awkward Lizzy, except with possibly even more skepticism toward social convention (which is the opposite of Austen’s Mary!) - but as an AU of Pride and Prejudice rather than something that could be an actual sequel/perspective flip to it.

*no fault on Austen here: it's okay for a supporting character who is meant to represent an idea/alignment to be two-dimensional, she also did that on purpose

I'm sure watching Autumn de Wilde's 'Emma' without knowing anything about the story for the first time, after watching 'Masters of the Air', must be considered a special kind of cheating, because when you first see Frank Churchill smile when he sees Jane Fairfax, you obviously don't buy into the whole subsequent intrigue - you know he loves her. You've already seen that look over and over again for nine episodes of Callum Turner's best "I'm so obviously and hopelessly in love" acting performance ~

#this isn't a story of my experience because this is obviously not my first time watching autumn de wilde's 'emma'#and i've obviously read the book more than once #but today n and i rewatched it for the first time since i watched masters of the air the summer before last #and oh #this scene is SO obvious after that #emma #masters of the air #john egan #gale cleven #buck x bucky #austen tag

Oh, then is Pride and Prejudice your favorite Jane Austen novel? If not, which one is? Mine is Northanger Abbey XD

Oh, Northanger Abbey is right up there. Love me some gothic satire. Sense and Sensibility is one of my comfort reads/watches, too, though it has to be the version with Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman.

Then it's Emma. Then Persuasion.

Oh to have someone look at me the way colonel brandon/alan rickman looks at marianne/kate winslet when she's playing the piano and he sees her for the first time...
