VHS Movie Reviews of Mansfield Park
Movie Review: it passes muster
Summary: 5 Stars
For those of you who absolutely loved Mansfield Park, the book, and are hopeless Jane Austen purists this movie will probably disappoint you. If on the other hand, you are like me and are a devoted fan of Jane Austen and a purist about everything else Jane Austen, yet for some reason you didn't especially love Mansfield Park, then you will enjoy this movie. The main characters, Fanny, Edmund, Henry, and Mariah, are extremely well cast and are very good actors and actresses. Fanny's character is a fair bit more decided and strong than in the book, but I was always inclined to think her a little lacking in spine. It follows the main storyline fairly well, only getting a few things at the end rearranged.One thing that they brought into this movie which I wasn't sure belonged in a Jane Austen movie was a sort of abolitionist view point on Edmund, Fanny and Tom's part. Though it was very true that the Bertram's lived off of the slave's labor in in Antigua this aspect of the movie didn't really make it feel period to me, it felt more like it was set in the 1800's.
So, If you were like me and thought that the book drug on for ever and wrapped up in the last chapter,then you will probably enjoy this movie.
