Rating: 2.0
Is It Over Yet....... Really Is It?
Four and 5 stars? !Huh!Knowing there isn't enough material available on this great author's life to truthfully put together an entire motion picture, I, nevertheless, expected to get an some insight on how she developed her story lines, and - just maybe - be entertained. Like another reviewer, what I like about Miss Austen's works is the almost metamorphosis her main characters go through as they finally discover the true character of people beneath often misleading facades. Usually the seemingly dull triumphs over the flashy and charming. How then do they have the author falling for Mr. Personality? How does this help her - er you know - become Jane!While admittedly, the cimetography and cast are impressive, a lush and picturesque nineteenth century scenery and ongoing game of "can you tell which of Miss Austen's characters this person influenced?" can't disguise an exceedingly tedious storyline.Why didn't it delve more into the close relationship between the author and her sister and the sister's relationship with her fiance. I think a window into the dichtomy of the two sisters' personalities and their love interests would have been more revealing and appropriate to the title.Brother!! I had to watch this movie in segments, I got so bored. Waaay too Hollywood for me!
