The Movie
First, a disclaimer: I’m a big-time Jane Austen fan, even going so far as to make the pilgrimage to Southern England to visit the various historical shrines to my favorite author. Luckily it’s a very good time to be an Austen fan, there has been an increased interest in her work and in the various adaptations of her novels (on both the large and small screen) even before Colin Firth’s Darcy took that fateful dive into Pemberly’s pond in 1996. Becoming Jane is one of the few movies that is biographical in nature and speculates on the situations and relationships that may have prompted the themes in her novels.
