Emma. (2020) is a beautiful movie with great costumes, lovely scenery, and funny moments. Anya Taylor-Joy does a good job playing Emma, a smart but sometimes spoiled young woman who likes to matchmake for her friends. The movie is fun to watch and keeps the light humor of Jane Austen's book.
However, the film leaves out some important scenes from the novel. For example, the book shows more of Emma's growing friendship with Harriet, helping us understand why Harriet trusts Emma's advice so much. In the movie, this bond feels a bit rushed. Also, in the book, Mr. Knightley's feelings for Emma develop slowly, and we see more of his caring nature. But in the film, this happens quite quickly, making his confession of love feel a bit sudden.
Some other details, like the depth of Frank Churchill and Jane Fairfax's secret relationship, are not fully explored, which makes their story seem less dramatic than in the book. Despite these changes, the movie is still entertaining with its gorgeous visuals and strong performances. It's worth watching for its humor and style, even if it doesn't show every detail from the novel.
In Emma. (2020), some important background details from the book are not explained clearly. For example, the movie doesn't explain why Jane Fairfax lives with the Campbells. In the book, it's because her parents passed away when she was young, and Colonel Campbell, who was a friend of her father, took her in and raised her with his own daughter.
Similarly, the film doesn't mention why Frank Churchill lives with the Churchills instead of his father, Mr. Weston. In the novel, Frank was raised by his wealthy aunt and uncle, the Churchills, after his mother died. They insisted on keeping him because they could provide him with a luxurious lifestyle, and Mr. Weston agreed since he couldn't offer the same wealth. This background helps explain Frank's character and his secretive behavior.
By leaving out these details, the movie misses some of the reasons behind Jane and Frank's actions. Still, it's a charming film with beautiful visuals and great performances, even if it doesn't fully explain every character's history.
