Product: Becoming Jane [Blu-ray] (2007)
Rating: 5.0
Faithful and Highly Plausible
My Wife and I are "Jane-O-Holics" and have the majority of the movies and television efforts made of Jane's works in our home film library. We have read her novels, letters, etc. and therefore were quite pleased to find this movie not only very enjoyable as great entertainment but executed in the manner of the many great BBC efforts that have represented Jane's work.Anne Hathaway's personal knowledge (her thesis had to do with Jane's life) of Jane really showed through in her portrayal of Jane. The director brilliantly worked into the film elements of Jane's everyday life and that would have surely shaped her character and views of the then current England as well as her eventual writing style. This rendered an extremely enjoyable film experience in allowing the viewer to look for these "hints" of her formative process as the film progressed.I highly recommend this film for its basis in fact, luxury of visual and audio, period correctness, excellent screen writing, direction and production of a highly believable and plausible glimpse into what Jane's life might have been.Blu-Ray presentation is excellent and Amazon has a very competitive price point.Enjoy!!
