I know I tried to read Sense and Sensibility back in the day. I don't have reading time; however, I have a phone app that lets me listened to anything in the public domain. = all Jane Austen. So, after about a month, I'm on my 6th one. I was hearing Mr. Knightly's confession to Emma and just wept because she basked and thrived in his love without realizing it, and that's how I feel about my Ben. Only I do recognize his protection. At any rate, a student walked in just then.<br />Cyrano De Bergerac with GĂ©rard Depardieu is amazing. I watched it in early 1992. And cried like the cartoons (face in hands, tears SQURTING out) at the end. And I showed that scene where he takes 10 minutes to day in front of Roxanne to the freshman, just so they could begin to get an idea of words and romance. They mostly paid attention even!<br />I have been wanting to see "King's Speech" was even willing to go before. Not romantic, but "A Few Good Men" had a scene where Jack Nicholson cut loose. I wasn't nearly as offended as I should have been. It certainly wasn't gratuitous-it truly fit the emotion the character was dealing with.<br />I love your blogs, my dear.

And got an eyeful last weekend when I finished screening Romeo and Juliet (1969 vs (1996) to show the freshmen English class. Evidently PG in 69 allowed ALOT more than PG-13 in 1996. They won't be seeing the morning after scene. They'll just have to read it and visualize to whatever their threshold is. And I don't want to know.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14551387890873371227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971815118512072283.post-27705048636791452132011-04-22T21:51:18.378-06:002011-04-22T21:51:18.378-06:00Loved King's Speech and saw both versions - wh...Loved King's Speech and saw both versions - which will probably draw judgement - but the story of courage and friendship is really moving. The language is specific to one way Bertie could deal with his problem and it really didn't offend me the way it normally would. <br /><br />I also really enjoyed Source Code and could not figure out the ending either! Maybe you were supposed to draw your own conclusion? But it also seems like the writers confused themselves to the point of leaving the ending so open to interpretation.mormon birth momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459809455226417561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971815118512072283.post-49432658525364664992011-04-22T12:32:38.562-06:002011-04-22T12:32:38.562-06:00oh missy... all of the versions of pride and preju...oh missy... all of the versions of pride and prejudice are great. the 4 hour, the 6 hour... they have more details and cover more of the story...<br /><br />BUT, the new one, even though it is only a couple of amazing hours... they cast the characters so perfectly there is no comparison. i wish they would use the same cast and do a 6 hour version of it. :) you will love it.<br /><br />karey, i am SO glad you watched North and South... can you believe how giddy you felt as you watched that last scene of the movie? any gal would be lucky to have someone looking at them in the way he was looking at her. he adored her.<br /><br />as far as the King's Speech, i am still concerned. PG-13 movies are still allowed to have A LOT of bad language. they are allowed to have 3 F words, and a whole lot of language taking the Lord's name in vain. so you might want to look into how many of those curse words they left in for it to be PG-13. just a suggestion.<br /><br />kidsinmind.com is a GREAT place to check and see what is in a movie. it takes you through all of the garbage. just sayin'.<br /><br />glad you loved North and South.<br />all of us girls should get together one night and watch it all together. Mom would LOVE that.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03166451736632622252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971815118512072283.post-24762236398935834662011-04-22T10:38:38.972-06:002011-04-22T10:38:38.972-06:00I haven't seen the newest P&P.

I really liked that movie a lot. All those movies and books are proof of how brilliant Jane Austen was at capturing nuance and feelings. <br /><br />I really like both versions of Pride and Prejudice, but my favorite is the newest one (Keira Knightly and Matthew McFadyen).Kareyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168433852830113071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971815118512072283.post-79089515771567831172011-04-22T07:56:19.380-06:002011-04-22T07:56:19.380-06:00Is 'Emma' (the one with Gwyneth Paltrow) o...Is 'Emma' (the one with Gwyneth Paltrow) on your list? I LOVE that scene where she first learns that Knightly loves her. Oh, so romantic. I love Jane Austen movies (and books, of course!)
