It’s a truth universally acknowledged that every piece about Jane Austen must begin this way. It’s also true that nothing soothes quite like watching adaptations of every single one of Jane Austen’s novels and then arguing with your friends about which actor is the best in that particular role. So that’s what we’re going to do. For the next few weeks, we’re social distancing with Emma and Elizabeth, Edward Ferrars and Captain Wentworth. Then we’re going to debate the merits of the leads and choose the ideal cast.\n
The most recent version aged Emma up and Mr. Knightley down which was a good call.Irl the age difference is nearly the same. She’s 24 and he’s 37. Which is why I have to ask: What are we going for? Hiding it? Or making it kind of apparent but not too gross?At least they eliminated the whole “when I held you in my arms” line… when Knightley talks about holding Emma in his arms when she was a baby. And she responds something like, “Do you like me as much now?”Oh yes, that line should be burned.
Okay, I’m going to vote for 2020's Johnny Flynn but that is based on my crush on him fromI think I have to vote for the adjusted age, but I will also let Northam scold me for my bad habits. Call me, Jeremy.is great, but I also liked Johnny Flynn a lot because his Knightley wasn’t as possessive as Northam and Strong’s are. And there was something off about Jonny Lee Miller’s Mr. Knightley...Too squinty.
