Watched the 2009 BBC version of Emma then Amazon auto played the 2020 version. I couldn’t finish it.
BBC does Jane Austen so well. With that said, I wouldn’t like the 2020 movie version of Emma even without the comparison. Emma was played as a Mean Girl with all her pursed lips and rolling eyes, the father came across as having a severe mental disorder, Knightly was pompous. Every single character was a personality I avidly avoid in my real life.
The 2009 BBC version made every character someone I could relate to and would commiserate with. 💯 am going to watch again.
