Product: Becoming Jane [Blu-ray] (2007)
Rating: 1.0
As an avid Jane Austen fan...
I don't really understand why you would make a movie about Jane Austen if her life was so boring that you had to create 95% of the events that happened.I have been studying Jane Austen and he works for years and this movie made me want to retch. The few truths were done well but the liberties disgusted me. The tagline to the movie offends me as one of her avid readers. I don't think Jane Austen was ever even kissed, let alone try to elope.The attempt to romanticize her life and actually make people believe it really makes me want to go to the highest building and scream, "'Becoming Jane' is unfaithful to Jane Austen's life and Anne Hathaway is a snooty Jane!"...If you can't get away with making a terrible adaptation of her novels, why is okay to absolutely drag her name through the mud? This Jane was much more sexual than the real life one, and much more stupid.I didn't appreciate the fabrication & creating of facts the movie did, and I think if you have studied the life of Jane Austen you will also be insulted by it.
