unfortunately , da possessed suffers from a half - baked plot that feels unmistakably rushed out the door . like the erratic behavior of its lead character , da possessed suffers from its own personality disorder . by trying to be too many things at the same time , da possessed ends up being a little bit of nothing . and it all feels like part of an effort to ride on navarro’s newfound tabloid popularity .
more about adi da and adidam , including books , regional adidam sites around the world , adi da ' s art , and more .
towards the latter part of da possessed , ramon is told that it is better to be possessed by spirits than it is to be possessed by fear . while there’s an elegant simplicity to such an unassuming line , that potential is thrown to the wind when the film fails to explore that theme any further than the expected monologue .
“like the erratic behavior of its lead character , da possessed suffers from its own personality disorder . by trying to be too many things at the same time , da possessed ends up being a little bit of nothing . and it all feels like part of an effort to ride on navarro’s newfound tabloid popularity . ” ( read full review )

da possessed throws comedian vhong navarro back into the limelight following the mauling incident that he faced in january . in this movie , vhong is the obnoxious scaredy - cat ramon , who , after finding a job as a landscape artist , falls head over heels for his boss , anna ( solenn heussaff ) .
with its running time of 2 hours , da possessed felt too long and very dragging . there were numerous gags that when looked at closely , don’t have any significance to the plot . they don’t move the story forward . they don’t provide any relevant information . they just haphazardly injected the punchlines here and there .
wow . gi taks ending wasn ' t any good and kind of confusing . i like how da hye found out but didn ' t say anything .

the real hae joon and the supposedly real hong nan have definitely either : 1 . got their memories changed a bit 2 . are possessed by young soo and gi tak
i think min jung is the lead actress because both rain and oh yeon seo will be possessed by men . well i ' m looking forward to this ! ! !
the story seems so confused with its own plot that the first full - on possession doesn’t happen until well into the second hour of the film . and though the da possessed lands a good number of well - placed gags , these feel more credited to the cast’s command of comedy , as well as director joyce bernal’s knack for the bizarre .
john lapus on his part revealed to the media earlier that the shooting of the movie “the possessed” had started last december 2013 , month before the mauling incident at the fort condo unit .
because of his unique , extraordinary teaching , adi da ' s books are the first introduction to him for many people . this site provides an introduction to the books of adidam , including an overview ; recently published books ; free e - books ; forthcoming books ; an index of the books of adidam ; and differences in adi da ' s teaching over time .
- article 63 . 1 . 4 : disputes over limited use rights for land possessed or used by others as well as over property disputes related to the land shall be settled by the court .
hypothesis two : the more expert power possessed by other , and the greater the extent of subject ' s participation with other in the decisionmaking processes , the greater other ' s effective influence on subject .
da possessed starts with a sliver of promise . ghostly figures are gunned down under the cover of night , setting up a mystery that is initially intriguing . but as the story trudges on , the film flails wildly , touching on everything from an indebted family , a mismatched love story , a haunted house , to a comedic spiritual possession , all in a span of an exhausting two hours .
a nine - year - old boy walked backwards up a wall and ceiling as startled medical staff looked on after his mother claimed he and his two siblings had been possessed by demons , according to official reports .
please make the special episode about hong nan and hae joon . i ship couple da hye ❤ hae joon and hong nan ❤ seungjae . i felt the sad ending they didn ' t reveal about love
why are people confused who the leads are ? the story is about two guys who came back from the dead . rain and oh yeon seo ' s plays the possessed bodies . obviously , they are the leads .
despite the evident failings of the film’s story , bernal manages to run a tight ship among her band of hardy comedians . beverly salviejo and joy viado are in particularly hilarious form as two warring old women , while smokey manoloto and matet de leon round up ramon’s quirky family . but while da possessed tries to make fun of its seemingly contrived plot , it just isn’t enough to throw a blanket on its cemetery - sized plot holes .

latoya ammons said her 12 - year - old daughter also levitated in the home , and all three of her children showed signs of being possessed including ' evil ' smiles and unnaturally deep voices , according to the indianapolis star .
shin da - hye ( lee min - jung ) is a beautiful housewife , but her husband suddenly dies . she falls into a love triangle with lee hae - joon and a promising store employee ( yoon park ) .
taylor was a married christian who was accused by his wife , christine , of having an affair with a prayer group leader . he responded with anger and continued to act erratically , leading some people to think he was possessed by evil .
in the end , da possessed does what most navarro starrers do . it sufficiently entertains . the entertainment the movie delivers might not be as guiltless as , let ' s say , erik matti ' s gagamboy , or bernal ' s d ' anothers , or cathy garcia - molina ' s my only u , because of the circumstances surrounding its release , but there ' s more to it than suspicions of exploitation or discomforting underpinnings . it ' s all good .
no , rain is not overacting here . it just happened that he needs to act like the deceased husband of shin da hye , who ' s got a unique personality , he ' s got to be different also , not the usual rain . remember that the body in him is shin da hye ' s husband , and look at the first few episodes , how shin da hye ' s husband act . maybe it was shown in the same time slot of dots which is very well accepted by viewers , just happened that you guys prefer the story of dots . by the way , i watched both this drama and dots . this is my only opinion . . thank you
great story . . . . interelated plots & characters . rain & oh yeon seo did well & carried the right sense of humour when playing their roles . felt the warmth , pain , hurt as well as the anger with every episodes . lmj da hae is beautiful here but a lot more fun as da ran in big with gong yoo . rain to me is even better here than in full house . all in all . . . i like this drama . . .
both were shocked to see the boy apparently float after their mother had been subject to months of scepticism when she claimed her home in gary , indiana , was haunted and all three of her children were possessed by demons . listen to exclusive audio of the demon here
of course , while da possessed is essentially navarro ' s show , the movie would not have been as convincing if it were not for his support . beverly salviejo , who has been relegated to mostly minor roles in previous films , is utterly delightful as navarro ' s mischievous mom . joy viado , who plays anna ' s strict aunt , proves to be the perfect match for salviejo ' s mix of physical comedy and wit . smokey manaloto , matet de leon , and joey marquez add further color to the bunch .
director joyce bernal makes the most of her cast ' s various styles in comedy , and turns da possessed into a spectacle of sorts , with low - brow humor interspersing with slapstick and other types of jokes that are certain to tickle moviegoers . a lot of the jokes are effective , thanks largely to the cast . the movie only loses steam when it decides to abandon its atmosphere of reckless fun for some degree of logic and the off - putting and totally unnecessary moral lesson that seems to be a requisite for filipino comedies .
da possessed wastes most of its screen time dragging its feet through its murky story , hinging on hit - or - miss punchlines and elaborate visual gags . despite the film’s mile - a - minute puns , vhong navarro is given very little to do . as a character , ramon fails to bank on the usually sharp - tongued and outgoing navarro . the result is a vhong navarro that feels restrained , closed off , and uncharacteristically shy . but the real disappointment here is that there are remnants of a far better story buried underneath the film’s under - baked crust .
the real shame here isn’t that da possessed fails to live up to its potential , but that there’s a wasted opportunity here for vhong navarro . whatever you might think of navarro’s brand of comedy , he is arguably one of the more exciting and underutilized stars of star cinema . unlike the studio’s other big name superstars , navarro’s filmography is as unpredictable as his onscreen personas . from the smooth - operating mr . suave , the quirky superspy agent x44 , to a charming romantic in my only u , navarro’s career has allowed him a level of diversity few other actors appreciate .
lee hae - joon ( rain ) is a perfect man with good looking appearance . he works as a section chief in the women’s apparel section at a department store . his body is actually possessed by the spirit of kim young - soo ( kim in - kwon ) who was worked to death .
( spot . ph ) it would take a special kind of callousness to watch the entirety of joyce bernal ' s da possessed without even acknowledging the suspicious circumstances behind its being made . just a few of months prior to the movie ' release , its main star , dancer - turned - actor vhong navarro , was mauled inside a condominium unit . speculations were made by the public , who were incessantly bombarded with every bit of news about the sensationalized but most unfortunate event . navarro , with the help of his enterprising handlers , has turned into some sort of crusader , using the country ' s legal system for retribution .
can i get a respond before watching please please coz im confused : will da - hye fall in love with the spirit of her husband but in the body of lee hae joon or what ? if this is the story i ' ll not watch it . . i want the real lee hae joon to be with her
oh yeon seo is killing it here . . . her acting is superb ! ! ! i love hong nan , yi yeon and tae hwan story . as for rain a . k . a hae joon story , it just felt messy . why bother to make da hye fall in love to him when he only have 2 months to stay on earth . rain acting is really good when he is with hong nan . both of them really funny . but when it comes to da hye scene , i get really frustrayed seeing min jung acting . same face expression and no soul at all . after all , im curious to see the ending .
da possessed , for all the inanity in display , echoes a lot of the themes of navarro ' s present predicament . beneath the jokes and gags , the movie predominantly tackles revenge against an individual who has eluded the law despite his propensity for violence . navarro , of course , plays his character with indisputable charm and affect , showcasing his trademark talents , whether it be his comedic timing or his dancing moves , to ensure that the actor does not get lost in the character . navarro , by donning ramon ' s clothes and quirks , becomes the unlikely hero who will pave the way for justice to triumph , despite such an immense desire for the more traditional type of vengeance .
is adidam ' s unique version of the traditional guru purnima celebration . during this celebration , the great and divine guru - function of the divine avatar , adi da samraj , is honored .
purnima
means
full
. guru purnima is traditionally celebrated during the brightest full moon of the year , usually occuring in july .
after watch 10 episodes of this drama i slowly get into the story line . however i have to say that i hope hope and hope that they do not mess up or this drama is going to flop xd . i really like oh yeon so ' s acting ( she is hella funny ) and i kinda ship her with everyone ( lee tae hwan especially , but also rain and even ha nui or yoon park xd ) i think i love her because she still act like han gi tak while rain sometimes kinda creep me out because he is so diffrent then young - soo . the fact is that he surely end up with da hye because i cannot imagine that he will let da hye go and built up a new life on her own ( even if i ship da hye with ji hoon ) . but i ' m kinda curious how hong nan will end up , because i ship her soo much with seungjae but i can never imagine that she will end up with him because she still is han gi tak inside xd
to sum up i really felt in love with the new side of rains acting , however i cannot feel the chemistry of hae joon and da hye . however i really love this drama since there are some scences that are hilarious and intense and also i love nearly every character , that have a certain image . really refreshing and hopefully a good drama with a good ending
when he was possessed , religious artifacts began flying off the walls and people could hear footsteps and dripping inside his home . scratches also began appearing over his body , which levitated and contorted . his family contacted a catholic priest and an exorcism was performed more than 30 times , sometimes injuring the priest before they were eventually successful . doe went on to have a normal life , according to reports .
wow ! it ' s a promising drama ! the casts are great . . three of my favorite actors and actresses . . rain , oh yeon - seo , and lee min - jung . . and ! the plot is daebak ! i can ' t even imagine oh yeon - seo acting a tough guy ( since she ' s possessed ) . . i can ' t wait for this drama . . : )
l actually hope that da - hye would give ji - hoon a chance rather than shove him away that hard , but unwillingly give chance to hae - joon . feel pity for ji - hoon . seung - jae and hong - nan ( gi - tak ) will not happen unless the real hong - nan appears . l hope real hong - nan appears and be a couple with seung - jae , while gi - tak reborn and coupled up with yi - yeon .
on july 10 , 2007 ( fiji time ) , avatar adi da ' s impulse to continue working in the manner of self - submission conclusively vanished , leaving only the sign of his divine self -
emergence
work . only his divine self - revelation , and not any address to the ego in its presumed separateness , enables the process of transcendental spiritual awakening . this event is now celebrated as the great sovereign - avataric holy day of parama - sapta - na sannyas .
the charitable assessment here is that west is just trolling , which , with the best will in the world , is still hardly the most edifying sphere of human activity for an apparently time - pushed polymath to indulge in . if he is possessed of the kind of self - awareness occasionally suggested by tlop’s lyrics ( “i love you like kanye loves kanye” he offers on a brief a cappella freestyle ) , he might take a minute out of his pressing schedule to consider that one thing setting him apart from the kind of geniuses he compares himself to is that picasso , galileo , steve jobs and leonardo da vinci seem to have had better things to do with their time than waste it going “yeah , your mum lol” . the uncharitable assessment is that he’s a deluded pillock who actually believes what he’s saying . listening to famous , you do find yourself wondering if anyone else has ever managed to seem so brilliant at what they do and such a thundering cock and balls of a man at exactly the same time .
@ karin : like rain said , there is no lead characters here . everyone has their own portion and story , so you can ' t pick a or b as the lead . for me , as the story involved around young - soo and gi - tak , they are the leads ( the characters , not the actors ) . you could say that the female leads are da - hye and yi - yeon , as hong - nan is actually gi - tak in female form . then the 2nd male leads are ji - hoon and jae - kook .

though the dull script and confusing sequence and set - ups , vhong ' s wit and his supporting cast manages to make the movie bearable to watch . but there ' s nothing new to see in this movie , the cast is poorly presented and the story is loses it ' s sensibility halfway across the movie . the script is boring and the plot sequence is too rushed and unbalanced . though the movie does live up it ' s name by presenting it ' s genre the right way ; it shares a decent amount of jokes that can surely make you laugh . it ' s enjoyable not because of the jokes shared within the script , it was enjoyable because of the witty acting and funny actions the actors do ( specifically the supporting actors ) . but also , the director forgets an important aspect in movies : consistency . the movie attracted viewers because of it ' s solid first 1 - hour , but after - so , the other hour turns into a total bore . all - in - all , if you ' re with your friends / family , or ( if alone ) have a short attention span ,
da possessed
is the family - movie for you !
you don’t have to tell me that director ron howard ’s sinfully entertaining screen adaptations of author dan brown’s robert langdon pulpy novels are not exactly bait for critical adoration . it seems the first two , the da vinci code and angels & demons , were used as target practice by some of my colleagues , and i have no doubt the latest chapter , inferno — which sony pictures releases today — will also have its detractors . but as i say in my video review above , these movies are comfort food on the highest order and the latest is also perhaps the greatest in terms of viewer satisfaction .
love this drama ! ! ! i‘m not finished watching it ( ep . 10 ) , but so far so good . i‘m actually really surprised that i like this drama , because i‘m more into extremely cutesy / funny dramas and this drama is really heartbreaking , sad and funny ! i‘m gonna be honest here and i think i‘m the only one with this opinion , but i hate jung ji hoon sooooooo much ! it just aggrevates me that he swoops right into da hae‘s life , asking her to date him again right after her husband dies , whom she dearly loves ! any who . . . great drama ! i recommend !
why seungjae has to fall in love with hong nan . . . it actually cute to watch him but we all know it impossible love . . . i can ' t watch him suffer . . . because he surely will get hurt at the end . . . where is the real yeon soo / hongnan ? is she died ? + current hae joon will disappear after 2 month . . . why he bother to make da hye fall in love with him ? he can ' t stay longer though . . . doesn ' t this will make her suffer again later ? really wonder how the ending will look like ! ! ! !
kim young soo ( kim in kwon ) was a hard - working employee of a major department store who died in what looked like an apparent suicide after a tough day on the job . on the same day , han ki tak ( kim soo ro ) , a tough - guy chef who ran a cafe , died in a car accident . young soo and ki tak meet in the afterlife and are on a train bound for heaven when young soo decides he can’t go just yet . he wants to make sure his young wife , shin da hye ( lee min jung ) , and daughter , han na ( lee re ) , are taken care of .
the chairman’s first son , cha jae kook ( choi won young ) , is not happy to see hae joon back from the united states and is determined to chase him out of the company . young soo is shocked to discover that his widow , da hye , is now working at the department store as a sales clerk , while young manager jung ji hoon ( yoon park ) watches over her . ki tak comes back in the body of a beautiful young woman , hong nan ( oh yeon seo ) , and he has a heck of a time trying to navigate his new body as he tries to help his actress ex - girlfriend , song yi yeon ( honey lee ) , escape from the grasp of a dangerous gangster .
@ person : couldn ' t agree more . this drama is a combination of perfect actors , perfect story line and perfect movie directing . i can ' t imagine if this drama handled by other director / actor , i bet it would be silly . at first i was hesitated to watch because the main actor , da hye and yi yeon love same person but in different bodies . but amazingly this drama convey the story pretty well . what i love more about this drama is , in ep . 13 , i wonder how can i cry a river when this drama is a comedy drama . 2 thumbs up for this drama ! ! to all people who haven ' t watch this drama , don ' t look at the rating , the rating doesn ' t suit the drama at all , trust me ! : )

but in a mistaken effort to impress anna , ramon ends up disturbing the remains of three vengeful spirits kemerut ( john lapus ) , dado ( empoy marquez ) and anga ( aaliyah belmoro ) . suddenly , ramon’s life , love life , and family are placed in jeopardy when he is used as a vessel to avenge the deaths of the lingering spirits .
but where does navarro go from here ? while he could very well fall back to the old rhythms of his job at showtime , navarro is always a great vehicle to try out unconventional material on the mainstream market .
vhong navarro may not have been thinking of his career when he first faced his ordeal last january . but he definitely should be thinking about it now that the spotlight is back on him . – urltoken

“bernal spins an oft familiar yarn that’s not too far removed from her other collaborations with vhong navarro in the distant past . in fact , if you feel a certain degree of déjà vu while watching the movie , don’t worry , it isn’t you . but the spirited cast… more than makes up for the narrative cliché . ” ( read full review )
“at times , it feels like the film is just making it up as it goes along , painfully stretching out random inanity and calling it a plot . it grows pretty tedious , and it upends what little appeal it has by going for cheap jokes . ” ( read full review )

by jiro asada ( published from july 2 , 2001 to april 16 , 2002 in asahi shimbun ) .
first script reading took place on the afternoon of december 22 , 2015 in seoul , south korea .

(
hello my precious person
) .
nr denotes not ranked within the top 20 tv programs ( including news , sports , variety , etc . ) for that day according to tns media korea and agb nielson .
this drama is so underrated i was glad i give a chance after seeing so many bad reviews about it please consider watching this , the story was heart warming , refreshing , you will learn a lot of lessons in life , also be prepare to cry a lot but also laughed a lot .
i was a little disappointed i was hoping to see na suk - chul being judge in hell am not saying am not satisfied on how he died but they should have include a scene where god is talking to him about his sins it would make me feel more better .
i feel sorry for secretary wang for shouting every time , also i wish there were scenes that cha jae - kook was slowly changing he was really not a bad person he only has a bad temper that ' s all .
one of the best ! < 3 i so love all the cast . .
best storyline for porn all of 16 episodes . what left was just doing it .
i am a kdrama fanatic and there are very few dramas that have made me actually cry and laugh and scream all within 1 episode . i would highly recommend it . the cast is great , the chemistry between all the characters is amazing , and the the storyline is so refreshing , heartwarming and sad at the same time . definitely one of my favorite kdramas .
is that it ? i don ' t know but i felt a great sense of emptiness after watching it . something inside me is disturbed and i don ' t know what to do or what to think . i felt like the drama ended contently but i want more and i don ' t know what more do i want . i feel like crazy for this drama and i cannot explain it . this is the first time i watched a drama and felt empty afterwards like i ' m a hollow shell with no sense of purpose . the ending is happy but somehow i felt it lacking and wtf am i talking about ? i don ' t know . mix of emotion for this drama and this is really underrated . this should be one of the most wonderful , beautiful , splendid and well - wrote drama of all times . highly recommended . and if you really feel what i feel , i guarantee you that you will not regret watching this . i cried really hard for the ending . i want a season 2 for a starting love story of oh yeon seo and rain . plssssssssssss . . . . . .
thank you to the writers who created the story and the splendid actors who brought their characters to life , and to every part of the creative team .
this drama had everything ; it is now one of my top all time favorite dramas .
overall a good drama . not one of my favorites though . i would rate this 6 / 10 . and with that rating , i still think this is way better than dots .
this is definitely worth watching . . . made me cry a couple of times too ! it wasn ' t even about how good looking the actors are but it was how they portrayed the characters in the story . very touching but funny as well . great job guys !
it ' s such a shame that this drama was up against descendants of the sun . imo this drama has a more interesting plot and oh yeonseo and honey lee ' s acting was amazing . i live for the womance between the two .
to tncdel , i just want to say that rain is handsome and his wife didn ' t marry him because he ' s a good actor / handsome / artist . . she married him because she loves rain . . that ' s all . . ; )
don ' t get me wrong when i say this , because i liked rain in this and in full house . but , to be frank , although i think he is basically a good looking guy , i have never thought him especially handsome . and i think that his musical career paved the way for him in dramas . that may also explain how he managed to marry his gorgeous wife . because , without his music celebrity , i could not imagine her being attracted to him if he had been a store clerk . : )
okay guys first of all , rain didn ' t write the story . and i think this drama is quite funny . everyone played their role perfectly . there ' s a moral in this drama , enjoy your life and try to be a good person . . . and everything else . it wasn ' t a bad drama so i hope people will stop blaming rain . - . - '
argg rewatching my fav eps . . . can ' t believe that when i first began to watch it i thought it was a bit weird and almost gave up on it . i ' m so glad i didn ' t ! to this day it ' s one of my favorite dramas !
i ' ve seen 3 episodes of this dramas , and i think it ' s horrible i really didn ' t like it , i expect more from rain b because i ' m one of his biggest fan and he disappointed me actually . . . rain b , i love you so much but it was really bad choice . . tank you
april 7 , 2017 and still re - watching , this k - drama is so so good . worth it to watch , will make you laugh and cry . i hope people will have a time to watch this it teaches a lot of moral lesson . all i want is season 2 . sbs plsssssssss .
i always check the comment box if there ' s still commenting i thought i ' m the last one but i saw few , this is my favorite k drama and i ' m so grateful every time i see a positive comment , i was loved by this kdrama . thanks !
one of the best dramas of 2016 ! ! just re - watched it and im loving it even more than the first time . the ratings are low just because it was aired at the same time as descendants of the sun . such a pity because in my opinion this is way better than dots !
itssss really gooood i bawled my eyes out on the final episode ! ! i love the fake lee hae joon and his
pedo - smile
hahahaha ! ! i love the fake hong nan who appears pretty outside but gangster inside and the way she walks tho . . . . i really love all the cast and this time i ' m in love with side characters too ! jung ji hoon and choi sung jae ! i love the mole in ji hoon ' s nose and i love sungjae ' s glaring eyes . . . wish he somehow ends up with another hong nan though , they look so perfect together omona . . . and also , i wanna see the real young soo and gi tak to meet at the bardo a . k . a . afterlife station , while looking at those peoples they loved . . .
it ' s pretty unfortunate that this show aired at the same time with dots , i love dots but i can ' t bear the cheesiness sometime . i hope this drama get more recognition ! ! !


becoming jane is a 2007 british-irish biographical romantic drama film directed by julian jarrold .

it depicts the early life of the english author jane austen and her lasting love for thomas langlois lefroy .

american actress anne hathaway stars as the title character , while her romantic interest is played by scottish actor james mcavoy .

also appearing in the film are julie walters , james cromwell and maggie smith .

the film was produced in cooperation with several companies , including ecosse films and blueprint pictures .

it also received funding from the irish film board and the uk film council premiere fund .

the film is partly based on the 2003 book becoming jane austen by jon hunter spence , who was also hired as historical consultant .

the final screenplay , developed by sarah williams and kevin hood , pieced together some known facts about austen into a coherent story , in what co-producer graham broadbent called " our own austenesque landscape . "

according to hood , he attempted to weave together " what we know about austen 's world from her books and letters , " and believed austen 's personal life was the inspiration for pride and prejudice .

jarrold began production of the film in early 2006 , opting to shoot primarily in ireland as he found it had better-preserved locations than hampshire , england , where austen was raised .

released firstly in the united kingdom on 9 march 2007 and in other countries later in the year , becoming jane earned approximately $ 37 million worldwide .

the film received mixed reviews from critics .

hathaway 's performance received mixed critical reception , with some reviewers negatively focusing on her nationality and accent .

commentators and scholars have analysed the presence of austen characters and themes within the film , and also noted the implementation of mass marketing in the film 's release .

becoming jane austen gives the fullest account we have of her falling in love with the charming young irishman tom lefroy .
” –
becoming jane leaves reality behind in its second half , and suffers for it – but it ' s a pleasant enough flirtation with a literary great .
the film becoming jane has given us an image of jane austen that liberates our imagination . i envy readers of my book who come to it with anne hathaway’s image of jane in their mind’s eye . you will not have to struggle against the image cassandra created to see the jane austen who was young and pretty , lively and in love . anne hathaway’s skilful portrayal of jane austen in becoming jane shows that art can have as much power to bring us closer to the truth as facts themselves can .
for all of us jane austen fans , becoming jane is another movie to add to your collection . anne hathaway herself studied austen while writing her thesis at vassar , so it ' s no . . .

i love this article , although i am of course a little disappointed because i imagined that there would be more information about jane austen and thomas lefroy like becoming jane - the movie i watched last night , i still think this article helped alot . = ) thanks !
i ' m grateful for early interest in becoming jane jacobs and for the opportunity to talk about the book . here are some recent and upcoming talks . i will update the list from time to time .
directed by julian jarrold , and written by sarah williams and kevin hood , becoming jane concentrates on a small patch of jane austen ' s existence : the time when she was 21 and fell in love with a dazzling stranger , tom lefroy , a trainee lawyer from ireland .
“
spence meticulously unpacks the evidence available to him . . . and lays the probablilities before us in writing that is charged with its own kind of electricity . his great achievement is that by the end of becoming jane austen it is indeed possible to see how jane became jane austen , the great writer of english literature .
” –
the romantic premise of ' becoming jane ' is recycled from countless other romantic weepies . here again we have two people from opposite sides of life who everyone can see are clearly meant for each other , but who don’t realize it themselves , so they spend the whole movie bickering until they finally get hit by a bolt of enlightenment . it ' s cute , and it ' s slight , and it ' s the weakest aspect of ' becoming jane . ' jane austen was one of the most fascinating women of the past two hundred years , not to mention perhaps the most biting social essayist of her time , but ' becoming jane ' veers awfully close to turning her into a whiny drip .
unlike miss potter , the whimsical biopic that centered around the little - known love life that inspired beatrix potter ’s work , becoming jane doesn’t have much in the way of actual history to back up its premise .
and while these fans’ enthusiasm is certainly noteworthy , those hoping for an entertaining romantic escape , rather than a historically accurate account of miss austen’s love life , will still find plenty to rave about in becoming jane .

from a miss jane austen fan i would never watch or buy that film becoming jane for it was nothing like the real miss jane austen and if i had my way it would never been made and the stupid lost in austen drama which should also should never been married . if you are to write sequels to miss jane austen novels read them first and stop ending things that mr darcy wouldnot do . may be it is time that people leave miss jane austen alone if you are can not treat her with a respect .
with these links , it is likely both that news of tom drifted back to jane and that tom knew of jane’s doings and read her books .
i came across this article when researching a school project ( on jane austen ) . i saw the movie a year ago and have been intrigued by the idea of jane and tom ever since . i bought the book it was based on ( becoming jane austen : a life by : jon spence ) , and am still thouroughly convinced that jane and tom must have felt passionate feelings for each other . this was a very helpful and interesting article . : )
i adore jane austen ' s books . becoming jane makes me cry everytime i watch it . i don ' t know if tom and jane were serious about each other or not , or what actually happened . all i know is i wish they could have married . the movie is good . but so sad . . . . perhaps that ' s why it ' s so good .
jane eyre ends with jane’s marriage to rochester—“reader , i married him”—and then hiccups to the present tense , ten years later , where jane reports she is “ever together” with her husband . their hearts beat as one . they talk all day long . they have a baby son . but during those ten elided years jane must also have written jane eyre , and this is the intimate aspect of herself that she never shares : her life as a female writer . did rochester stand over jane’s shoulder as she wrote her autobiography ? was the baby on her knee ? where was the room of her own ? of course the perplexity falls apart because the novel is not jane’s story but brontë’s story—and it is the texture of the space and time that charlotte spent writing jane eyre that propels kohler . and only that : becoming jane eyre is not , as some might hope , a literary biography with poetic license , awaiting its hollywood adaptation . it is a small daydream of a novel , a glorified collection of vignettes ; ethereal , distant , unruffled by the events it relates , utterly unlike its inspiration : if jane eyre disappeared overnight , becoming jane eyre would be close to incomprehensible .
even so , becoming jane struck me as decidedly de trop in striving to make the austen character more faultlessly high - minded in her final decisions than any writer of genius should ever have to be , and probably wasn’t . mr . mcavoy’s lefroy is probably much closer to darcy in charm and panache than the real - life irish jurist could ever hope to be . becoming jane is not as good as the best austen films , but is much better than most mainstream movies on tap .
an ersatz
pride and prejudice
in all but name ,
becoming jane
is a finely tooled brit - lit costumer that , like anne hathaway ' s flawless accent as the young austen , lacks only that final convincing 5 % .
the austen family loved word play , and the name “tom jones” repeated in a letter by a “jane” about a “tom” is not far from “jane’s tom . ”
can ' t get enough of jane austen ' s pride and prejudice movies . this brings a new depth of understanding for what motivated jane . great movie !

“ ' becoming jane austen ' is a good , traditional biography . clearly written , jargon - free and pleasant to read , it covers familiar ground without any sense of fatigue and makes the most of the material . ' ~ peter washington , the literary review” –
and observes how contemporary documentary filmmaking ‘has in various ways returned to its more relaxed roots with dramatisation , performance , and other forms of fictionalisation and narrativisation becoming once more predominant . ’
with one significant exception , which occurs close to the end of jane’s life , miss austen regrets depicts the austen sisters’ closeness as emotional rather than corporeal . in contrast to becoming jane , cassandra and jane are separated for most of miss austen regrets : while cassandra remains at chawton cottage , often glimpsed taking care of domestic chores , jane travels repeatedly to godmersham and also spends time in london . there , at their brother henry’s house , we see jane chatting in bed with her niece fanny knight , who is portrayed by imogen poot as a starry - eyed , giddy young girl bent on love and marriage .
the house is somewhere between grand and modest . for the two films made here in 2006 , becoming jane and northanger abbey , it played the part of a vicarage . in the recent book , ‘romantic irish homes’ * , it falls into the section ‘homes for gentry’ .
anne hathaway ( the devil wears prada , the princess diaries ) gives a radiant performance as a young , love - struck jane austen in the witty and engaging romantic comedy becoming jane from miramax films . it s the untold romance that inspired the novels of one of the world s most celebrated authors . when the dashing tom lefroy ( james mcavoy , the last king of scotland ) , a reckless and penniless lawyer - to - be , enters jane s life , he offends the emerging writer s sense and sensibility . soon their clashing egos set off sparks that ignite a passionate romance and fuel jane s dream of doing the unthinkable marrying for love . becoming jane , also starring the acclaimed maggie smith , james cromwell and julie walters , is an enchanting and imaginative film you ll fall head over heels for
perhaps whoever it was had already tried and failed to reason with jane , or had left such a sensitive matter to the one person to whom they felt jane would attend .
becoming jane certainly is a fresh departure – jane austen kissing ! – but the filmmakers have been careful to base the love affair on the truth as far as they see it . ' it ' s like dot - to - dot , ' broadbent explains . ' there are documented facts and we ' ve joined the dots in our own austenesque landscape . '
i will examine two films and four novels , all of which were commercially released in 2007 and 2008 . ( two of the novels were republished in american editions from slightly earlier u . k . publication dates . ) thanks to the prominence of its star , anne hathaway , and the efforts of its studio , miramax , becoming jane ( 2007 ) reached the widest audience of any of these sources , though the film was not notably successful in commercial terms . directed by julian jarrold from a screenplay by sarah williams and kevin hood , becoming jane takes its inspiration from jon spence’s inventive becoming jane austen ( 2003 ) . like spence’s biography , becoming jane elaborates on the episode of austen’s young womanhood in which she flirted with tom lefroy . cassandra , played by anna maxwell martin , serves as a decidedly plain contrast to her radiant , passionate sister . the last years of austen’s life are the focus of miss austen regrets ( 2008 ) , a television film directed by jeremy lovering from a screenplay by gwyneth hughes , for which austen’s letters are a primary , though uncredited , source . miss austen regrets tantalizes fans of austen film adaptations by featuring , as jane and cassandra , two actors who played roles in the two mid - 1990s versions of emma . to the delight of anyone who has pondered the similarities between jane fairfax and jane austen , olivia williams—the jane fairfax of diarmuid lawrence’s emma ( 1996 ) —appears in miss austen regrets as jane austen , while greta scacchi—mrs . weston in douglas mcgrath’s emma ( 1996 ) —appears as cassandra .
but becoming jane , was based on her life . her books , she wrote . someone else wrote becoming jane . of course the men in her books were great , but thats because she made them that way when writing them . there is not much to know about her history , because from what i have learned , her family destroyed many of her letters and she wasn ' t even really know as a writer , because her name wasn ' t on her books . so when jon spence wrote the book becoming jane , he obviously got as close to the truth as he could , with the limited information that any of us have . after i saw the movie , i looked into jane and tom ' s history , but there really isn ' t much that we know . but in real life sometimes the guy is wild , careless , and womanizing , even when you don ' t want them to be .
the latest wheeze , in the surprisingly graceful becoming jane , is to take good old p & p ' s storyline and replace elizabeth bennet with austen herself , add a real - life pseudo - darcy from the skimpiest of biographical evidence , and generally blow raspberries at austen fanatics .

jane austen and thomas lefroy live their life without each other . later , we can see an older jane attending to a little opera show , at the end she recognizes tom lefroy going out fastly of the place as he saw jane . henry brings his old friend to his sister . as they meet again for the first time since they left eachother , tom presents his daughter to jane , who is now a big fan of the author . tom named his daughter jane . at the end , jane is reading her novel called

( that became later , pride and prejudice ) at jane , thomas lefroy ' s daughter .
yet when one thinks of all the earth - shattering events in austen’s lifetime—the american and french revolutions , washington and napoleon , waterloo and the congress of vienna—one is struck by the narrow focus of austen’s universe . there is a major character in becoming jane , eliza de feuillide ( lucy cohu ) , whose husband has been guillotined in france during robespierre’s brief reign , but no one spends any time talking about the social implications of the incident . mme . de feuillide’s main task is to seduce jane’s brother into becoming her second husband , and to serve as jane’s confidante in matters of the heart . lefroy’s uncle , judge langlois ( ian richardson ) , who denies his nephew’s request to be permitted to marry jane , is presented as a malignant hanging judge of the period .
anne hathaway ' s ( the devil wears prada , the princess diaries ) radiant performance as a young , love - struck jane austen in the romantic comedy becoming jane is even more luminous on blu - ray . in this extraordinary format , the untold romance that inspired her novels is more captivating , the wit sharper , her private world more vivid . when the dashing tom lefroy ( james mcavoy , the last king of scotland ) , enters jane ' s life , he offends the emerging writer ' s sense and sensibility . soon their clashing egos set off sparks that ignite a passionate romance and fuel jane ' s dream of doing the unthinkable - marrying for love . also starring the acclaimed maggie smith , james cromwell and julie walters , the enchanting and imaginative becoming jane form miramax films brings all the pride and prejudice to exuberant life in blu - ray high definition .
after reading previous comments , i ' ve decided not to conclude that jane and tom actually did have affair as there have been scare information to make this gap less broadened . what i would like to share is about the movie itself . becoming jane is truly beautiful romantic movie . i watched twilight and was completely dazzled by rob pattinson and ' true love never die ' . but after watching becoming jame , i was in agony . james mcavoy and ann hathaway are great . the scene i like best is when jane was looking for tom while dancing with the guy who was trying to win her affection . when tom suddenly popped up . . what a lovely surprise ! ! ! !
thank you lisa for your thoughtful and sensitive detective work . what an incredible thing , to learn all about jane ' s life in person in england ! i ' m a hopeless romantic and huge fan of ms . austen ' s . just watched

for the first time . always interesting to learn to what extent a film like this takes various liberties with the plot .
he also claimed that “it seems fairly clear that jane made all the running” ( 152 ) .
however she heard , imagine cassandra’s consternation and her concern that jane’s behavior might drive tom away .

ultimately , ' becoming jane ' doesn ' t surmount the lightness of its approach . it ' s not a dumb movie , but it’s a shame it wasn ' t more ambitious in scope , for the life of jane austen is so rich it begs for a complex treatment . it is still an entertaining film , one with moments of real wit and sexiness , and it ' s certainly handsomely mounted . ' becoming jane ' can ' t compare to the best cinematic adaptations of austen ' s actual novels , such as the recent ' pride & prejudice ' and the oscar - winning ' sense & sensibility , ' but for fans of the author , it ' s still an enjoyable little truffle .

for someone who practically devoured every single jane austen novels in record time , i’ve never really been interested in reading her biography . my knowledge of her background is pretty much limited to her choice to be a single woman until she died . i did , however , see becoming jane ; a movie about jane austen’s supposed love affair with the consummate bad boy , tom lefroy . i’ve always considered her to be a feminist way ahead of the times . and this is based on her characterization of elizabeth be
alas , there is a bit of noise on wide solid patches ( though it ' s slight ) , and shadow delineation sometimes flattens out due to a few inconsistent patches of over - brightness . these are not huge defects , however , and ' becoming jane ' holds up as a generally splendid transfer .
why does jane austen ' s spinsterhood bug us so much ? austen , who published six timelessly great novels between 1811 and 1818 , never married and never exhibited much of a romantic life . nevertheless , the film becoming jane , which opens today , spins a yarn about the young novelist ' s sexual awakening , suggesting that an early experience of being loved and left was the true source of her artistry .

, which features a mature and professional jane austen and explores her relationship with her niece fanny knight .
but perhaps the most important reference in jane’s letters pointing back to “catharine” is the word “profligate . ”
although we don’t know what was to become of kitty and edward , jane and cassandra presumably did .
cassandra’s role as an early editor of jane’s literary legacy has recently been explored by sutherland and harman .
— jane jacobs , the death and life of great american cities ( 1961 , p . 284 )
it is a great honor to announce that becoming jane jacobs is the winner of the 2016 jane jacobs urban communication book award , as announced at the urban communication foundation ' s annual conference in philadelphia last week . it is an honor for the book to be included among distinguished past winners of the award , and to be the recipient of an award named for the great urbanist ! the reviewers said of the book :
now a new angle has opened up : becoming jane , the £9 million film opening next month , focuses on the woman herself . ' her story is as real and romantic as any of her greatest novels , ' enthuses douglas rae of ecosse films , the london - based company that produced and developed the film .
becoming jane is based on a chapter in jon spence ' s 2003 critical biography , becoming jane austen . in the book , spence does identify tom lefroy as the love of austen ' s life and her relationship with him as the origin of her genius . but he never suggests that there was an aborted elopement ( much less subsequent reading sessions with any of lefroy ' s children ) . and he is careful , as the filmmakers are not , to clarify that in speculating about austen ' s romantic experience he is reading between the lines of the family records and of the three rather opaque austen letters that are his principal sources .
two new biographies—laurence’s becoming jane jacobs , a close , vivid study of jacobs’s intellectual development , and robert kanigel’s broader eyes on the street : the life of jane jacobs —as well as an anthology of previously uncollected articles and speeches , vital little plans : the short works of jane jacobs , and jane jacobs : the last interview and other conversations correct the record . by the time she published her masterpiece , at the age of 45 , she had been writing about urban redevelopment for nearly a decade in dozens of lengthy articles for architectural forum . before that she had written about , and in direct service of , american democracy .
becoming jane ,
is the story of the great , untold romance that inspired a young jane austen , played by anne hathaway . willful and spirited , jane is not ready to be tied down to anything but her writing . that is until she meets tom lefro , a charming rogue from london who spends more time drinking and socializing than on his law studies . the film also stars julie walters , james cromwell and maggie smith . it is written by sarah williams and kevin hood , and directed by julian jarrold .
though cassandra and jane share little screen time in miss austen regrets , this film does establish that cassandra not only appreciates jane’s writing , as in becoming jane , but actively facilitates it . three brief scenes underline these acts of cassandra’s , as well as highlighting the two sisters’ very different daily tasks . in the first , jane reads a passage from persuasion to cassandra , who weeps over it while gutting a chicken . “i don’t know how you can sit there with dry eyes , ” says cassandra ( played by greta scacchi ) . “i never weep over anything that might make me some money , ” replies jane ( olivia williams ) , with a glint in her eye . in the second , jane works on her manuscript of persuasion while cassandra comes in to set the table . shortly after that , in the aftermath of an insult to jane from mrs . austen ( who calls her younger daughter “hardly a woman at all” ) , cassandra assures jane that she is “happy too . ” “stuck here , looking after mother , and me ? ” presses jane . “well , someone has to do it , ” cassandra replies , apparently without any rancor .
i love syrie james . . . . not like i love jane austen but i still adore her . she ' s great at capturing jane ' s voice that i feel like i ' ve found another piece of jane for awhile . my absolute favorite of syrie ' s is the lost memoirs of jane austen but i think that after reading this book , i prefer the older voice of austen . i still really enjoyed this book though . it was nice seeing how a younger version of jane might have been .
from a miss jane austen fan when i sent the one before i forgot to check the spellings before it was sent . so this is what it was ment to say . i would never watch or buy that film becoming jane for it was nothing like the real miss jane austen . if i had my way it would had never been made and the other stupid one is the itv drama lost in austen which also should never been made . if you are these womane that write pride and prejudice sequels stop adding sex in the novel which miss jane austen would never had liked to happen to her dear novel . may be it is time that people leave miss jane austen alone if you can not even respect her novels . another thing may be someone by the name lori smith read more books about miss jane austen before she trys to write a book about her . miss jane austen never meet a gentleman in devon it was lyme so get it right before you think you should write a book on miss jane austen . what was wrong with kaira knightley playing the part of miss jane austen for she is more like her then the person that played her .
becoming jane
is the story of the great , untold romance that inspired a young jane austen , played by anne hathaway . willful and spirited , jane is not ready to be tied down to anything but her writing . that is until she meets tom lefroy ( james mcavoy ) , a charming rogue from london who spends more time drinking and socializing than on his law studies . the film also stars julie walters , james cromwell and maggie smith . it is written by sarah williams and kevin hood , and directed by julian jarrold .
a dull exercise in deconstructing jane austen ' s life to provide a life experience basis for her novels .
jane expresses neither contrition nor apology and fairly bursts with pride for “my irish friend” and “my friend . ”
yet that evidence seems to have become an obstacle to his visiting jane more often , thwarting further acquaintance .
the “different set” austen refers to was a hampshire gathering—the ashe lefroys and steventon austens—a set now very freshly and painfully decimated by the deaths of jane’s father in january 1805 and of anne on jane’s birthday in 1804 .
it is more likely that tom’s daughter was named for his mother - in - law , jane paul .
200 years after her untimely death , this is what we think of when we think of jane austen .

in 1879 , an orphan girl named felice dreams of becoming a ballerina and flees rural brittany with the orphan boy , corentin , setting out for paris , where she assumes another identity and becomes a pupil at the grand opera house .
but then becoming jane , as we discover , is a surprising film in many ways . despite the richness of the austen film industry – seven adaptations in the past 12 years ( not including clueless , a modern spin - off from emma ) – the handicap has always been that austen wrote only six books , so source material is limited .
the authentic period features and elegance of the king’s inns building has attracted many cinema and television productions over the years to include : “becoming jane” with anne hathaway and maggie smith ; “evelyn” brought us pierce brosnan , aidan quinn and stephen rea ; and the “ordinary decent criminal” brought us the incredible mr . kevin spacey and our very own colin farrell .
he is right . for all its modernity and innovative camerawork , becoming jane has an old - fashioned theme : first love . peel away the 18th - century props and the literature , and what you have is an un - adorned love affair , which works on the same principle that has fuelled stories from romeo and juliet to casablanca – a doomed romance . jane and lefroy ache to embrace , but know that they are destined not to be together .
it is not clear why ray assumes tom had met mary paul at least two years before he met jane .
whatever reason tom had for not marrying jane—his uncle’s disapproval , his loyalty to and prior love of anglo ireland and an irish fiancée—he did not inform anne lefroy ( or , by extension , jane ) that he was engaged .
from jane’s description , we can also infer that anne lefroy was there , too , watching her daughter ride .
the veiled references to “catharine” may also have been a way for jane to invoke kitty’s difficulty in reading edward .
we can never know for sure what happened between jane and tom that winter or in the years that followed .
of course even without his death she would have inherited much more than jane austen could ever have hoped for .
alison owen states ,
i would not have made jane eyre unless we had the right person to play jane . this is not a role that you can shoehorn somebody into . both cary fukunaga and i wanted someone with a natural affinity for the character , and who was of a comparable age to the jane of the novel .

an ersatz “pride and prejudice” in all but name , “becoming jane” is a finely tooled brit - lit costumer that , like anne hathaway’s flawless accent as the young austen , lacks only that final convincing 5 % . taking the few facts known about a “romantic encounter” between the budding young scribe and a dashing irishman , pic cleverly constructs a [ … ]

veronica bennett declares at the conclusion of cassandra’s sister that “jane would appreciate the irony that it is cassandra , who , by keeping the facts from us , has given us what jane herself so cherished—the power of imagination” ( 230 ) . how we imagine jane and cassandra austen reveals how we imagine ourselves , as austen readers and austen fans .
to explain why , i’d like to share with you some of my discoveries about her life and work , and some of my intentions in writing becoming jane jacobs — discoveries and intentions that i believe offer some new understanding of not just her life and work , but her experiences and ideas , and , perhaps most importantly , the development of those ideas .
' becoming jane ' gets an uncompressed pcm 5 . 1 surround track ( 48khz / 24 - bit ) , and if the film ' s sound design is laid - back , it still has its small pleasures .

in case you thought jane austen was a fusty spinster who spent her downtime doing crochet , becoming jane should relieve you of this notion . mercifully , director julian jarrold resists turning a literary icon into a 19th century bridget jones , but this story does take a few flights of somewhat dubious fancy in speculating on her relationship with the real mr darcy . it ' s just as well that , in the title role , anne hathaway is a romantic heroine of delightfully dignified verve .
interesting post . . . thank you ! i just saw becoming jane last night and thought is was only ok . it was like a jane austen movie , yet without jane ' s spark of language ( which made me realize how important words are to her stories , as well as the best adaptations ) . it ' s intriguing that you post that she may have been joking or sarcastic when speaking of tom . could you imagine someone going through your letters in 200 years , and attaching a great romance to a trifling flirtation that you may not remember within 20 years . interesting theory !

along with karl the viewer realizes belatedly just how good his domineering wife has actually been for him . the message is simple but profound , and the filmmakers should have found a better way to drive it home than the nameless - fatal - disease cliche at the end . the final third of the picture
generally strains under such melodrama , and sentimental stitchery shows . still , the performances are unreproachable , the flashback structure drifts agreeably down the years , and the film as a whole holds a quiet power .
