Movie Reviews of Mansfield Park (1999)
Movie Review: Appalled; not a representation of the Austen novel
Summary: 1 Stars
I was appalled at this version of 'Mansfield Park,' inasmuch as it bears no real resemblance to the Austen book. (The Austen book is not a comedy; Fanny Price can be a frustrating heroine for a modern reader because she would never dream of "standing up for herself," such a concept would be unthinkable to a character like hers, which represents the ultimate victory of sheer goodness over the blandishments of personality, as represented by the opposing persona of Mary Crawford.) This film's presentation of Fanny Price seems rather to be the director's/writer's supposition of what Jane Austen herself might have been like, but it's not even a fair representation of the voice of the narrator. Filmmakers need far more insight into the premises, not merely of the 18th century in general, but more precisely of the Austen consciousness in particular, not overlooking what a profound place religion played in her heart, and that is what is needed in order to portray Mansfield Park the way it might have seemed to its creator. Of course, then it probaby wouldn't be nearly as popular. Remove the title to this film and it has some merit on its own in terms of crafting, but -- but--.
Summary of Mansfield Park (1999)
This fun and sexy comedy tells a timelessly entertaining story where wealth, secret passions, and mischievous women put love to the test ... with delightfully surprising results! When a spirited young woman, Fanny Price, is sent away to live on the great country estate of her rich cousins, she's meant to learn the ways of proper society. But while Fanny learns "their" ways, she also enlightens them with a wit and sparkle all her own! Featuring an exciting ensemble cast of young stars -- you'll join critics everywhere in their overwhelming praise of this smart, playful, and funny hit!Art House & International DVD Video
