Product: Becoming Jane [Blu-ray] (2007)
Rating: 4.0
Overall a good film
So... for some reason it bothered me a little that this movie read into (and added onto) things that occured in Jane Austen's life. She really was proposed to and turned down two (not just one) suitors- and she did also develop feelings- or as Jane herself would say, she "had reguard for"- Tom... whose aunt opposed the match... and so eventually they both went their separate ways... etc. But it seemed to me that the extent that this film went into their feelings for one another was reading into what actually did happen (or what we know from her letters). But such is Hollywood. The other thing that bothered me was that Anne Hathaway played Jane... I like her in other movies... but wish they'd picked someone else. Other than that it was entertaining to watch :)(If you really want to see a good flick about Jane Austen, check out "The Real Jane Austen". I think you can watch the whole thing on youtube...)
