Summary: Terrific movie!
Comment: I really enjoy this movie. The sexual tension between Anne Hathaway's and James McAvoy's characters is amazing. If you are a fan of Jane Austen, I would definitely recommend you see this movie. However, true Jane Austen fans will undoubtedly know how the movie ends, which is a drawback.

Summary: If you love Jane Austen you'll be hooked
Comment: Stunning movie. Romantic and heart-wrenching. Beautiful scenery and acting. Anne Hathaway did a fabulous job at portraying Jane Austen. I wasn't a fan of hers before, but I was immensely impressed with her acting in this movie. The story haunts you long after you've stopped watching it. I had to see it again and again and again ...
You won't be disappointed!

Summary: The Struggle For Creation
Comment: Recently I reviewed a commercial film about the famous English writer and illustrator Ms. Beatrix Potter and mentioned there that, apparently, despite the very great cultural accomplishments of that woman the filmmakers could not resist centering the film on her love interests. I note that this is the case with the story line here as well. I also noted in "Ms. Potter" that I was not sure how faithfully the creators of that film were to the biography of Ms. Potter's life, however, for my purpose that it was neither here nor there. That is also the case here, as the creative work of Ms. Jane Austen needs no real defense. She had an almost unerring novelistic sense of the vices and virtues of the English gentry of the early 19th century. On its own terms this is a very appealing story line of an artist struggling to create work, a double struggle in the case of women in the early 19th century (and since then, as well), to have a creative life as well as social and personal life despite very heavy pressure to conform to the norms of bourgeois British society- meaning marriage and children. So kudos, Jane. And kudos for Ms. Elizabeth Bennett and all the others in those well-thought out novels.

Summary: Delightful.
Comment: A delightful journey into the life of writer Jane Austen, whose character's lives in her books have happier endings than her own. Torn between giving up the man she loves so he may help his impoverished family and please his rich uncle, Jane clings to her passion for the written word to help heal her wounds in the real world. Choosing not to marry another rich suitor because she does not love him, Jane hopes to 'live by her pen'.

Summary: Nice picture of Jane Austen's early years
Comment: I love romance, so I enjoyed this movie very much. It was nice to discovered the kind of life that Jane Austen could had had and related with his books, it can explain a lot about her personality. And the performances of Anne Hathaway and James Mcavoy were great, they made a nice couple on the screen, they transmit the idea of real love through their rolls. Perfect for my teast.

Anne Hathaway (The Devil Wears Prada, The Princess Diaries) gives a radiant performance as a young, love-struck Jane Austen in the witty and engaging romantic comedy Becoming Jane from Miramax Films. It s the untold romance that inspired the novels of one of the world s most celebrated authors. When the dashing Tom Lefroy (James McAvoy, The Last King Of Scotland), a reckless and penniless lawyer-to-be, enters Jane s life, he offends the emerging writer s sense and sensibility. Soon their clashing egos set off sparks that ignite a passionate romance and fuel Jane s dream of doing the unthinkable marrying for love. Becoming Jane, also starring the acclaimed Maggie Smith, James Cromwell and Julie Walters, is an enchanting and imaginative film you ll fall head over heels for
