Becoming a Great Movie
Becoming Jane, starring Anne Hathaway as Jane Austen, is a great movie. This is a historical movie at its finest. Hathaway is outstanding as the famous author. The movie gives us a glimpse into Jane Austen's life and into her inspirations for writing her outstanding novels. This movie looked like Pride and Prejudice, but was very bittersweet knowing that Jane Austen never married and died at such a young age. At a time when there were very few female authors; Jane Autsen was a trend setter. The movie features a romance between Jane and Tom Lefroy, played by James McAvoy. I couldn't help but compare Jane's "real" life to the novel Pride and Prejudice. This is a fun and endearing film. Very enjoyable!Make sure and check out the extras; especially the interview with Anne Hathaway and her admiration for Austen. She did her thesis on Jane Austen.
