Becoming Jane (2007): Thoughts
I wasn’t extremely impressed with this movie. It flowed oddly and the character of Jane felt almost nothing like what I have read of the real Jane Austen. Besides, if she supposedly had such an exciting, scandalous life, how come it’s never written about? It just didn’t follow. It was a very Austen-esque story, with the exception of the ending, but it didn’t work as a bio-pic. Pride and Prejudice wasn’t the first book she wrote, either. In general, the events of the movie seemed more worried about inspiring Pride and Prejudice than about reflecting Jane’s real life. Oh well!
