Becoming Jane Austen
Nicely done movie and well acted as well! "Becoming Jane" shows us a young Jane Austen already dabbling in writing, but hasn't as yet grown into the writer we know her as today. This movie is really about Jane finding out who she really is and wants from life.In "Becoming Jane", we learn of Jane's family life and about the social circumstances surrounding life and etiquette during the era in which she grows up. Life is really confining for women back then. It seems that a woman is pushed into marrying a wealthy man regardless if her has feelings of love for him or not.... And being a spinster is definitely frowned upon altogether, let along deciding to create a career for yourself as a writer.We see a side of Jane Austen's personality we may never know about from reading her novels and about the love she gave up for the sake of foraging ahead to become one of the world's greatest women writers.
