Catherine had the loveliest childhood out of all the Austen heroines in my opinion. No dead relations and such a loving family. No wonder she can read gothic novels so happily lol.
I like that in this adaptation, Eleanor is given a lot of Henry's lines from the book. It shows very well the friendship between the two girls. Yes, Eleanor knew perfectly well that Catherine was interested in Henry, but these extra conversations in the movie help establish that Catherine was just as sincere in being Eleanor's friend, too.
I think this adaptation has a number of qualities, not least the casting of Felicity Jones as Catherine , and the part of Eleanor Tilney but it shows a chronic lack of understanding of the novel, succumbs to the temptation to distort the characters by introductions, unlicensed by the text, and by the introduction of gratuitous scenes culled from the notion that Catherine had gothic nightmares, and making John Thorpe sinister where as he is merely a posturing idiot, and introducing him prematurely. Adaptations of Jane Austen suffer from not understanding the theme of the book and dramatizing excessively incidents in what they assume to be the plot, caricaturing the general who is unctuous and avaricious and hypocritical. I was disappointed in this adaptation because after the opening and closing scenes it succumbed to the temptation of trying to dramatize incidents which play a minor part in the narrative, omitting important lines, and distorting he characters. Isabella Thorpe is absurd, affected, and pretentious, a bit of a gold digger and she soon exhausts Catherine's initial respect but the scene with Frederic Tilney in a bedroom is totally unwarranted and miss the intention of the narrative, the theme and even the plot.

Miss Thorpe has dealt really badly with your brother, but I'm afraid she's out of her league with mine-- hands down one of the best line ever!!!
The lady with her goose... priceless. Poor Catherine but it is good to see that she could at least hold her ground.
Eleanor Tilney is so wonderful and kind. I feel very sorry for her. I hope she finds a good and kind and attentive husband.
Adoro jane Austen.
Kiss from Portugal 🇵🇹.
Although I'm surprised he stooped to such an easy conquest. LOL. Burn
Kind of misogynistic remark though
"And...are we engaged?"
Someone has attachment issues...
he understands muslin ;0)
Honestly? The Mysteries of Udolpho is no great loss.
The book doesn't mention any fornicating, lol, but its an interesting interpretation. Puts things in a new light for me.
She does in the book! She marries the man she is in love with, who happens to have a very big fortune.
you didnt have to burn the book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am sure Cathy's mother thought the same !
her home is the same one used in Becoming jane!!
She kind of reminds me of Elinor from Sense and Sensibility
Perhaps Isabella sitting up in the bed with her black necklace is meant to be a reference to Tanya Romanova in From Russia, With Love
Don’t worry you are the best
Is it just me or does Henry look like Tom Hiddleston?
@3:44 Why does Isabelle have to dress like that... even while writing letters :O
It's probably all she brought... attention seeker
