Emma- an iconic period drama (10)

Emma, is the fourth novel written by Jane Austen and personally one of my favourite Jane Austen movies, right after Pride and Prejudice. The movie starts with the life of a spoiled rich girl named Emma, and her matchmaking quest. She tries to set up everyone with their so called perfect- pair, and in the process hope she could find her own happiness. But what exactly makes this movie so influential? Aside the fact that it was written by Jane Austen, known for her AMAZING romance novels. It has some of the most poetic and comedic lines I have seen in a period drama! Let's first talk about some of the most poetic moments in the movie. First the most ICONIC scene every!

" If I loved you less, then I might be able to talk about it more" I kid you not the first time I heard this I near fell out of my seat! The simple yet deep meaning to this one line add so much to the move in my opinion. And honestly this scene is so beautiful it keeps me up at night! It such a simple confession, that manages to get his feelings across. The part of this line that really hits me the most, it's the fact that this is something that we can all relate to. Being so in love with somebody, that even talking about it seems so difficult, and we're at a lost for words. The reason this scene means so much to me is because, it real speaks to my romantic side. I remember the first time I watch the movie in the theater, and it came to this scene. I was so moved especially since at the time I was in a situationship. And this was exactly how I felt about the person at the time. You just feel so much for a person that you're not even able to speak about what they mean to you. Another reason I really connected with this movie, especially this scene is how it really discribes my personality. I feel like I'm usually the one that cares more in a relationship. So hearing this really touched my personality and that emotional side to me. While this quote made me realize I was more in love that I should be, it also make me realize that I deserve better.

Now for the comedic part, I absolutely love the comedy in period dramas. They're very subtle yet, but I still feel like the comedy is relevant. I think I mainly find it funny, because it's reminds me that they're still human and we're people like me. Like Mr. Elton, confession scene to Emma. They've just come back from a ball, and Mr. Elton misread the signals and thought that Emma was in love with him. He decides to confess to her and is immediately rejected. What makes this scene especially funny, is Emma's bluntness. Giving that she grew up rich, and is extremely spoiled her reaction to normal stuff is absolutely hilarious. She will make the most out of pocket remarks and will have no hesitation to tell it as it is. Her snide remarks literally carries the movie. When I watching movies specifically comedy's, I always look for this kind of humor. Not one where the jokes are put of there plainly. But ones that the comedy derives from the fact that the characters are taking this situation serious, but we as the audience knows it not that deep. I personally think that Emma did an amazing job at this.

Scene such as Mr. Eltons new wife, stopping her husband from eating all the deserts, and his over reaction to it. To us as the audience it's a silly scene, but to the characters it's really important. Or another good example is Harriet ( Emma's friend), being completely clueless at all times! She falls in love with almost anyone that looks her way. When she was posing for an art piece, drawn by her friend Emma. She thought Mr. Elton was complementing her on her looks and was extremely faltered. Meanwhile, he was really complementing Emma and was telling her that she has a skill for making the ugly things pretty.

Another thing I love this movie is it's pastel like colour pallet. Not only is it easy on the eyes but is aesthetically pleasing. I've always been a fan on these they of colour pallet , because it gives this nostalgic feeling. My mother was always obsessed with that colour scheme, and even my childhood home had the same colour scheme. Which honestly ties to why this movie is so important to me and is one of my favourite moments in media. Growing up, my mother was obsessed that royalty scene. She would always have me and my sister dress up in those extravagant ballgowns and have mini tea parties. So when I was watching this movie, it strangely made me miss that time in my life.

Beyond Nostalgic reasons, I love this movie since it really touches my romantic side. I love the enemies to lovers, that happens between Mr, Knightly and Emma. And even though early on in the movie it's obvious that they are going to end up together it's still nice seeing the development. I also feel like compared to most movies that try to do this troop. Their reasons for hating/disliking each other seemed genuine. I felt like their hate was real and wasn't so forced. Mr. Knightly hated Emma because she was always trying to set people up and was extremely spoiled. Emma hated Mr. Knightly because he was stuck up and cynical. Which is what makes their love story different. Unlike most movies they didn't just accept their flaws and move on. Both characters tried hard to remove those flaws in their personality and work hard to make themselves better people. With or without the possibility of ending up together. Which I feel like that something almost everyone should do. Truly work on themselves with out without the possibility of ending up with who they want. But is doing it for themselves so that their partner can benefit.

To critique I have for this movie is the pacing. The movie is 2 hrs and 4 minutes long. And giving that it's that long because there is more than 1 main character. The actual plot between Mr, Knightly and Emma started off strong in the beginning of the movie, and later switch the focus to Harriet. Than the last 30 minutes of the movie returned back to Emma and Mr. Knightly. Which at that point I always forgot all together about them and their love story but was more interested in the side characters. That awkward pause between their love story made returning to it weird. I feel like they could've continued both romantic plots without interrupting each other and leaving that gap. Because I personally lost interest and when it returned back to them I just wanted to skip ahead to the end to see what happened. Since the development was paused. I think in movies especially period dramas, it's important to not leave gaps like that in the pacing. In most period dramas, there are more than 1 main character and a lot of names and events that are happening. So abandoning one character plot to focus on another can leave the audience confused on what's really happening. But since, the plot of Emma is truly simple, it wasn't hard to come back to their romance.

To conclude, I absolute loved Emma, apart from some pacing issues, I think the film is the second best adaptation of Jane Austen's novels. It still manages to get the comedic part of the novel despite it being written almost 208 years ago! And created some relatable character and iconic lines that I still quote to this day! Emma will probably always remain in my Top Ten favourite moments in media especially when it comes to rom-coms. I rate this movie an 8.5/10. And think that it's a movie that a lot of film makers can learn from not only for it visual settings and placement. But character development, especially when it comes to romance. Having the characters change not to please each other, but to become better people and hoping that the other will notice. To end this blog post we'll end it with the most popular and one of my favourite lines in the movie.

"You must be the best judge of your own happiness." -Emma

"Ballister never said once to Ambrosius he loved him back..." And honestly to that I gotta bring my man Knightley's quote from "Emma" (1815)

...If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more

It is important to say it, but there's just something so raw and pure on the way Ballister's silence, glances, touches and actions convey that the love and devotion he has for Ambrosius is just like the one he's receiving.

Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun (French, 1755 - 1842) Life Study of Lady Hamilton as the Cumaean Sybil, 1792 The Met Museum

Emma Hamilton (1765–1815) rose from the lowest rank of society to the peak of distinction by marrying, in 1791, Sir William Hamilton, English ambassador to Naples. There she was famous for her “attitudes”—tableaux vivants performed before swooning audiences who felt themselves transported back to antiquity.

Me: If asked to summarize Aziraphale's feelings for Crowley in one line, I would say look no farther than the master spy bootlegger novelist:

"If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more." --Jane Austen, Emma, 1815
