Viewers familiar with the punchy colors of Marie Antoinette or similar films will appreciate the vivid pigments found throughout the 2020 version of Emma. Though the art direction can at times feel too self-aware, it creates a much more memorable visual experience than the 1996 version (or many recent period films). Director Autumn de Wilde has int...
From the very opening scenes, the 1996 version immerses you in Emma's world. An authoritative narrator is established, which guides viewers through the many social shenanigans. This mimics the satirical nature of author Jane Austen's voice which permeates the novel and gives it its acerbic bite. RELATED: Marie Antoinette: 10 Tom Hardy Roles You For...
There are scenes in the 2020 version that didn't appear in the 1996 version or the book - scenes where characters are far removed from the hustle and bustle of the social gatherings, and simply going about their daily lives. They're often found alone, assembling themselves, and the viewer is given an inside peek at their existence. There are even m...
There is an earnestness to the 1996 version that the bitingly droll 2020 version doesn't quite have, and its sentimentality makes it feel much more like a fairy tale in that way. Gwyneth Paltrow's Emma is kindly, and even Mr. Churchill cannot be thought of as a rake when played by the dashingEwan McGregor. The emotional beats made in every scene, i...
Similar to the Wes Anderson film The Grand Budapest Hotel, Emma is full of eccentric characters that are thrust into random situations like spirited marionettes on strings. The Austen novel was always rooted in satire, with much of the author's best dialogue coming from the verbal sparring and interplay between her characters. Anya Taylor-Joy as Em...
Though Toni Collette has become well known for playing dark and gritty roles these days, her skills as a character actress served her well in 1996 when she embodied the light-hearted Harriet, Emma's protege. She may seem dim to the rules of polite society, but she was never thought of as a cretin. RELATED: Toni Collette: 10 Best Movies, According T...
The character of Mr. Woodhouse has several amusing moments in the Emma novel, which translated more or less to the 1996 version, but that version did not benefit from the scene-chewing eccentricity of Bill Nighy, who is able to make a character feel like a fully realized presence despite having very little screen time. Given he has less screen time...
Gwyneth Paltrow portrayed Emma with a cherubic sincerity despite the fact that Jane Austen herself set out to write a heroine very different than any of her others. Emma is supposed to be "unlikable" by Austen's own admitting, and it seemed as though Paltrow struggled with being considered anything but angelic. RELATED: 10 Literary Heroines We Want...
Let it be known that in Jane Austen's novel, Mr. Knightley is 16 years older than Emma. He's more friendly with her father than he is with her, and though they get on well, the relationship is more in keeping with the time period in which Austen wrote than the modern-day. That being said, in both the 2020 version and the 1996 version, Mr. Knightley...
There are many ways the 2020 version subverts expectations, but perhaps the best way it accomplishes this is with the final scene. Emma and Mr. Knightly have finally declared their affections for one another, and viewers expectantly wait for the epic kiss on the hilltop, when suddenly Emma has an epic nosebleed instead. It may seem completely off-b...
