My beloved cat, Jack, has terminal cancer and I’ve been at home processing this while trying to give him the best care possible in these last weeks he has left. #writemotivation Africa Alaska aliens Andre Norton animals Anne McCaffrey astronomy Books Both Sides Now Central Christmas Christmas Carols climate climate change computers Confederation Confederation calendar Confederation History Coralie creatures diabetes Dinosaurs DVDs Earth energy equine esper talents Evolution Falaron Fantasy food Genetics Geography greenhouse gasses hang gliding healing Homecoming Horizon horse Horse Power Ice ice sculpture J.R.R.Forgive me for being so silent these past two weeks.(NB: The YouTube episode says 1983, but it is clearly taken from the movie I am reviewing.) So I selected one of the shorter sequences, a conversation between Tom and Edmond Bertram and Mary Crawford, to give you a taste of the style. I had hoped to find a film trailer for this DVD, but instead I found that the entire DVD is up on YouTube, chopped up into short segments. I look forward to the arrival of other versions, but I doubt that I will like them any better.

People who find Fanny Price boring (I don’t) often preferred film versions that changed Fanny considerably from the way Jane Austin created her. In reading reviews, I get the impression that people who liked the book like this video. The characters are very much true to those originally drawn by Miss Austen, and I particularly like Mrs. Quite aside from that, it is very close to the book, with much of the dialog taken directly from Austen. That may be part of the reason I find the 1986 BBC video of Mansfield Park so much to my taste – it was the first I saw. For me, that was the BBC version with Colin Firth as Darcy. One of the things that came up during the Pride and Prejudice bicentennial was that as far as video was concerned, most people tended to like best the first video they saw. The DVD I am commenting on here, however, is the only one I’ve watched, though I’ve ordered two more recent ones.

This includes Mansfield Park, though I get the impression from reviews that in some the original plot is unrecognizable.

All of Jane Austen’s completed novels have been made into films.
