Reviews:

Much of the casting was off; acting was mostly good; screenplay was dreadful!
Why bother, ITV? Admittedly, Mansfield Park is the most difficult of the novels to “get,” and Fanny is certainly the hardest to like, but… If one is going to take it on, then have the courage to risk being true to the book and its rather complicated spirit. And for heaven’s sake, have the guts to cast Fanny as she was written: A prissy, good-hearted, sweetish, whiner! Mrs. Norris wasn’t nearly as awful as she should have been. And what the heck happened to Portsmouth? The contrast between Fanny’s rather dubious family and family home and the splendors of Mansfield is key to, well, so many aspects of Fanny’s refusal of Henry, her uncle’s rejection, Henry’s near transformation to a good person, etc., etc. Again, given the complexity and challenges of the novel, why did they bother? It’s beyond me…

Mansfield Park?!
I must say that before I watched the movie I already had low expectations of it. I must also say that although I understand that book to film adaptations must have some changes I really hate it when they completely change the spirit of the book, especially when the book is a masterpiece of English literature. Why call it an adaptation? Say you’re inspired by the book but not that you have adapted the book into film.

Now that that rant is over, i will start with the next rant. I will not say anything about the miscasting of Billie Piper as Fanny (Maggie O’Neill as Mrs Norris and Jemma Redgrave as Lady Bertram were also I feel miscast), nor about the enormous liberties taken with the plot, nor about Fanny’s hair, nor about Fanny bouncing about like a fairy, I will even hold my tongue about the actress’s manicured eyebrows as these have already been covered by other reviewers. But there are so many other things that are wrong in this ‘adaptation’.

What I really liked about the book is how Fanny is the only constant in the story, everyone around her changes their feelings, opinions even their characters but Fanny although timid and shy sticks by her strong moral standards and shows a strength of character that surprises everyone who thought who knew her. In the movie this development is completely missing. I did not see the conflicted Crawfords almost becoming good people, I did not see Sir Thomas regretting the way he brought up his children nor did I see Edmund falling in love with Fanny. (I had to stifle a chuckle when the light shined off Fanny’s messy hair and Edmund was suddenly struck with love as if shown the way by the Holy Spirit) I didn’t even see the seduction progressing between Maria and Henry Crawford which is a pity as this is the only Jane Austen book that touches on infidelity.

An other thing I really disliked is how they changed the characters of Mrs Norris and Lady Bertram. Mrs Norris is one of the vilest characters created by Jane Austen. She is not just an annoying, ignorant person, she controls and abuses Fanny and almost all the Bertrams psychologically in a very selfish and snide way. Lady Bertram in the book was a very stupid and lazy woman that was often infuriatingly and unbelievably aloof of everything that was going on around her. The Lady Bertram in the film was an undecided concoction that needs to be protected from the fact that her husband might be in danger in Antigua and could describe men dying at war as ‘disagreeable’ but has the sharpness to realise that Fanny was in love with Edmund since she was a little girl.

Last things; the opening narration was just lazy, most of the acting bland.

To end on a good note, i really liked the music, James D’Arcy who plays Tom Bertram is very good looking and my inner (and secret) squealing, girly, rom-com loving girl enjoyed the bit were Edmund runs after Fanny and they get together at last – although the joy was short lived when I remembered that this was supposed to be Mansfield Park.
