Review title: True to text but hard to watch
Product review: I would have to agree with the former posts that this movie is boring, also that a new adaptation that is true to the text AND has heart is in order. The scene where Fanny is crying in the schoolroom while Sir Thomas interogates her is tortuous. Fannys sobs are forced and go ON and ON and ON.... arrrg!Sir Thomas and Aunt Norris are played well. Miss Crawford is played with spirit but doesn't look the part, whith a different hairstyle I think she could have pulled Fanny off with more success. The others are pretty wooden performances.While the newer Mansfield Park is more entertaining, it is soooo loosely based on the book it doesn't deserve the name!Rent this one from the library while you wait for the REAL one to be made. (We can only hope it is soon!)
