I Heart Jane
Apr 8, 2008
Many of you already know of my fondness for Jane Austen. Love, love, love those books. And the movies too. I'm not too proud to admit that pretty much any interpretation makes me happy, no matter how they differ from the author's works.
So, I finally saw Becoming Jane. Only so-so. Too bad because I dearly wanted to love it. Ah well, can't win them all.
On the other hand, I also finally saw The Jane Austen Book Club. And it was a mostly-faithful capture of Karen Joy Fowler's book by the same name. The movie made me just as happy as the novel. And true to Austen form, the main characters all got what they most desired in the end. And it was a very happy end.
