They seem to be in harmony on how well they liked it. It is interesting that most of them seem to be amivalent about the book but unanimous in liking the series. And I agree about adaptations in general, and the dynamics in this scene. I did think the new dialogue was cheesy actually. But it isn't that bad now that I've seen the clip a LOT.Brontëanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12871588304265056120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14259201.post-1158587731933455302006-09-18T09:55:00.000-04:002006-09-18T09:55:00.000-04:00Yes, I like it very much too!

The best adaptations bring out the aspects of the novel that don’t immediately occur to me – the ’73 did this in abundance, and this little scene has convinced me that this version will do the same. I like how awkward Jane is, and Toby’s little snicker when she mentions the advertisement, and how he looks chastened afterwards. The mention of love, and disappointment, should be cheesy and obvious but isn’t, somehow. I know that the fan review you posted wasn’t overly impressed with Tobes but some of the other reviews on the C19th board were more positive, so I am still feeling very hopeful about him based on this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14259201.post-1158523452043919092006-09-17T16:04:00.000-04:002006-09-17T16:04:00.000-04:00to anonymous:I agree.

While I love cravats, it is sometimes silly when they have huge bows. For me, I'm glad there are no shiny purple striped waistcoats as there were in the 1983 series.Brontëanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12871588304265056120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14259201.post-1158519124363078002006-09-17T14:52:00.000-04:002006-09-17T14:52:00.000-04:00I have to say, the more I watch the clip of the in...I have to say, the more I watch the clip of the interview scene, the more I love it. I especially love the lighting and the costumes. It irritates me when the lighting is obviously false stage lighting - it distracts from the mood, but here it is both warm and not overly bright. As for the clothing, it doesn't have the stagey look of some adaptations. I have hated most of the costumes seen before on film, especially Timothy Dalton's. Those damn big silk bows hanging around his neck in scene after scene. Just awful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14259201.post-1158514485980374212006-09-17T13:34:00.000-04:002006-09-17T13:34:00.000-04:00I thought I should mention it again here, but so f...I thought I should mention it again here, but so far I am more impressed with Toby Stephens' performance than I was with Timothy Dalton in both the Hay Lane and first interview scenes.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully we will get more clips soon.
