Watch it if you hate the book! :)

Mansfield Park is my least favourite Jane Austen novel. I find it dull and highly uninspiring, lacking the wit, chemistry and energy of Austen's stone-cold classics like Pride and Prejudice or Emma.What this film does is completely inject new life into it. Yes, the characterisation of Fanny is much more Lizzie Bennet than Fanny Price. She is not like this in the book - at all. It's a complete change of character. But it works. (And I loved the very tongue-in-cheek inclusions of some of Austen's juvenilia, which in this film, Fanny has written herself.)The whole production is buzzing with energy and intrigue throughout. It brings out the themes of slavery more explicitly, which is very interesting - Tom's nearly drinking himself to death is explicitly signposted as a result of his horror at what Sir Tom is doing in Antigua. Sir Tom generally comes out less sympathetically than in the novel. (Mrs Norris and Maria are just as they are in the text - to my delight.)Only one thing slightly lacks - Henry Crawford is a tad miscast. In the book, he's a charismatic but slightly sinister rake...and sinister because only Fanny sees through him. In this film, he's a bumbling fool with a high sex drive. Nothing wrong with it - just a slightly different take than mine. You could imagine some audience members feeling sorry for him when Fanny rejects him, which is not what should happen.However - in general, wonderful adaptation! Some things are totally altered from the book - and for the best.

A Work Must Be Allowed To Stand Or Fall On Its Own

Jane Austen wrote gold. Its It's a shame that the people making this movie didn't have any faith in the author. The changes were enough that this is almost a different story.

If the story wasn't what they wanted to produce, maybe they could have called it "Fanny Price - Based On Jane Austen's Mansfield Park". Then maybe I wouldn't have felt deceived.

Jane Austen was a spectacular author. In this book she was able to take the loan of a gold chain and turn it into the biggest dilemma of the century. It's a storyline that really shows Fanny's character and it really stood out to me in the book, but it was left out of this movie.

The character of the uncle was extremely changed. It was quite annoying.

The actors and actresses all did a tremendous job in this movie. That's why I gave it a 7. I wish I could have seen them all in Mansfield Park.
