	Endervidualism Agora - Emma - reviewed by Tom Ender
		One of the ideas behind the scenes in Emma is the “law of unintended consequences.” Normally one encounters this idea involved with a central planning agency of some kind.
		This “success” at match-making sets Emma on the mission to pair up the people she decides need this service, principally her new friend Harriet, first with the Vicar, Mr.
		Emma herself is exceedingly opinionated and manipulative which feeds her ambition to make matches.

	Emma (1996) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
		A self-appointed matchmaker, Emma takes great delight in the romantic notion of playing Cupid and attempting to pair up those she feels are suited to one another.
		And Emma, so concerned with what is right for others, neglects the heart that is actually the most important of all: Her own.
		An uplifting, elegant film, `Emma' is a reminder of civilized behavior and the value of gentleness and grace in a world too often beset with unpleasantness.

	"Emma" Review: Christian Spotlight
		Emma is for those who enjoy a clean, light hearted, easy-paced romance.
		Emma, the film's namesake, is the 21 year old, beloved daughter of a wealthy, country gentleman.
		Emma is not without fault however, because she is a hopeless matchmaker as well as at times a bit of a snob.

	the MOVIE pages -- Emma
		Emma is a charming movie, full of the splendor and romance characteristic of the original novel.
		Soon, we notice that the true point of the story is Emma’s ignoring her own romantic unattachment in favor of “improving” the love lives of her friends.
		Emma successfully manages to avoid boring the audience (a fate not shared by Persuasion, another recent Austen screen adaptation), but fails to draw us far enough into the story to feel close to the characters.

	Emma
		Emma is a faithful adaptation of Austen's most cherished novel and unlike Clueless...the audience has more than a passing interest in the characters here.
		Emma is delightful, a breezy romance comedy of complication and confusion, with Gwynneth Paltrow a winning delight as the titular Ms.
		There are moments in Emma where Paltrow adopts a facial expression so utterly perfect that her infuriating ability to make you care about her despite her pettiness and manipulation seems drawn from the soul of Austen's novel.

	The Louisville Scene - Movies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
		Emma Woodhouse is a wealthy, charming and completely self-satisfied young woman who's convinced she knows what's best for everyone.
		Emma proves particularly inept at coupling the teen-age Harriet Smith (Toni Collette, the star of "Muriel's Wedding") with whom she considers the proper gentleman.
		Yet Knightley has a tendency to scold Emma for meddling and - in the film's most powerful sequence - he really lets her have it for an unforgivable breach of etiquette.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Emma \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		Emma Woodhouse is, of course, the queen bee of busybodies, forever meddling in everyone else's love life, yet quite unable to figure out her own.
		So Harriet, a country bumpkin who feels flattered at Emma's attentions, breaks off her engagement to the local farmer she loves and becomes fixated instead on a local vicar (Alan Cumming) — though he seems to be more interested in Emma.
		Emma also interferes with Frank Churchill (Ewan McGregor, in a role that is a far cry from the one he plays in "Trainspotting"), eligible gadabout son of a prominent neighbor — but he has some romantic notions of his own.

		Gwyneth does a superior job of conveying Emma's own sense of superiority, which is particularly necessary for this heroine, the sole example in Austen's work of a protagonist at the top of the social ladder.
		Jane Austen's Emma is a biting comedy of manners in which Emma Wodehouse --- played winningly by Gwyneth Paltrow --- sets about making suitable matches amongst her society friends to such an extent that she completely ignores her own life to the point of shambles.
		Equally talented and highly amusing is Sophie Thompsom (Emma Thompson's sister) as the plain Miss Bates, whom Emma has taken it upon herself to match with a dashing man, claiming the farmer Miss Bates has chosen for herself is lacking as a suitor.

		Emma is a wealthy and bored young woman in Regency England.
		In summary, I felt that the film makers did too many jarring alterations in the story for the sake of the movie's star, Paltrow, which is somewhat upsetting, and which is yet another reason that she is miscast.
		I hate to give Emma one star because I think Paltrow's performance is flawless and love that british accent she piles on but Emma was so boring, pretentious and completely dowdy as can be.

		The web of intrigue begins with young Emma Woodhouse, a well-to-do and rather attractive thing whose self-appointed role in life is as matchmaker to everyone else - that is, until she unintentionally falls for one of those she is attempting to matchmake.
		Around the 6 minute mark you’ll notice Emma talking to a pair of legs on the left hand side of the screen; there used to be a character there, but whoever transferred this one didn’t want you to see them.
		DVD Technologies also weigh in at the movie’s end with their own trailer, which is well worth a mention simply because it’s so bizarre.

		Emma is a wonderfully romantic and uplifting film and is one of the first that I reach for when I fancy a girly night in front of the TV accompanied by the biggest bar of chocolate I can find.
		Emma is a novel of locations but in this version there is little or no sense of place.
		Emma’s character transformation is brought about so quickly that disbelief does not so much have to be suspended as hanged, drawn and quartered.

		Maybe that helps explain the current popularity of movies based on the novels of Jane Austen: In an impolite age, we escape to the movies to see good manners.
		It may be that young people in a permissive age do not have sympathy for a movie in which a busybody matchmaker spends her days trying to pair off unwilling candidates for matrimony.
		There is a dashing young bachelor in the neighborhood named Frank Churchill (Ewan McGregor) who seems cast as her beau (he rescues her when her carriage gets mired in the river, and again when she is threatened by gypsies).

		The recent comedy "Clueless" borrowed the plot of "Emma" in a broad way, changing Emma from Victorian English country princess, into a pampered Southern California Valley Girl, and her hypochondriac father, Mr.
		Though it wasn't "Emma", of course-- just a literary nod allowing "Clueless" to bask in the glow of the current mania for anything Austen.
		So Emma lovers, never fear, this film can only deepen your appreciation of this masterpiece, and any one who isn't acquainted with Emma, or with Jane Austen's humor and clear-headedness, here's your chance for initiation.

		This is a great film and I love the story of 'Emma', for me though, Miss Bates is by far the best cast role, Sophie Thompson plays her exactly as I imagined her to be when I read the book!
		Emma is an exceptional character and an exceptional actress was needed to play her.
		But, apart from her, the film suffers from a whole series of deplorable miscastings and whoever was responsible for the casting can surely not have read the novel.

		Frank Churchill (who is the only character with longer hair, which I don't understand), is introduced to the audience when he comes on horseback and finds Emma, alone, sitting on her carriage in a small pool of water with the wheel stuck.
		It is the movie that started me off on my love for period piece costume movies and also inspired me to read the book by Jane Austen.

		The best part in the teaser was the Netherland ball...It reminded me alot of the ball in the 1996 movie "Emma." Anyway, I'd be appreciative if u would share your comments/compilemnts on the film or even your opinon on the casting (Keira Knightley and Matthew McFadyen are the leads).
