Emma amuses me to no end, and by that, I mean both the novel and its title character. Every time I re-read the novel, I'm amazed anew by jokes I'm sure I didn't fully understand before. (All the stuff going on with Frank Churchill and Jane Fairfax takes *several* re-reads to even begin to comprehend. Austen is just so brilliant.) Emma, Emma, Emma. How can someone possess such a sparkling wit, and such a huge blind spot, at the same time?! Ah. Silly girl. I would make fun of you, but you remind me so much of myself in some ways, I really can't. :D (If you're wondering, yes, my blabbing is drawing to a close.)

Well, I think it was mostly an unfortunate combination of things.

The first adaption I watched was Emma 2009 with Romola Garai, and I loved it. After hearing from multiple people that the GP version was awesome I decided to try it.

Then I made the mistake of watching the Winslow Boy the night before I watched Emma. Jeremy Northam plays a lawyer in The Winslow Boy, and I totally shipped his character and the oldest daughter. So I when I popped in Emma I went "What? Sir Robert is Mr. Knightley? No way!"

From then on things just went downhill. The movie was really short compared to a miniseries, Harriet looked like a giant, and Ewan Mcgregor in long floppy hair as Frank Churchill made me want to laugh everytime I saw him.

I think that if I had seen the GP version first I would have liked it better, but now I just don't enjoy it as much as Emma 09.

(Sorry, that was really long!)

Yay! I love long, detailed answers! :D

Ewan Mcgregor in long floppy hair as Frank Churchill made me want to laugh everytime I saw him.

LOL, yes. I like long hair (Legolas!), and I like Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan!), but they did not work together in that movie. And you're right that Toni Collette wasn't right as Harriet. Harriet needs to be played by a girl that looks like a sweet little mouse with soft eyes. :D

Funny how you like the 2009 RG Emma and dislike the GP version--it's the other way around with me. I don't want to go into hating mode, so I'll just say the 2009 Emma was more vulgar than Mrs. Elton, and that really bugged me. LOL.

:) I did have a lot of issues with the RG Emma: complete lack of servants, Romola Garai's weird chicken walk, and the way they handled the ending with Harriet.

I don't think I will ever be completely happy with any adaption, unless of course the screenwriter consults me ;), but I did like more things in the Emma RG better than the Emma GP.

Hopefully I will like the 1996 version just as much or better!

I hope you'll like the 1996 version, too! In terms of bringing the story alive, I liked it the best.

Apologies for butting in like this (*waves*) but I just have to agree completely about The Winslow Boy. JN is amazing in it and definitely shippy with the eldest daughter! Really wish something had happened there. Oh, and I agree with you about the GP version. Try the KB version - it's great in every way! (In my opinion.)

*waves back* I love butting in! Especially in such discussions. Ooo, yes! I kind of like how they left it open-ended whether or not JN and the daughter would get together, but I totally ship it!

I will definitely get my hands on the KB version! *adds to Netflix queue* Thanks for the rec!
