Wives and Daughters

So....a while back, Abbi mentioned that she had watched several British movies while she was ill. I jotted the titles down because I'm always on the search for good movies. This week, I checked out Wives and Daughters. (It is set in the same time era of Pride&Prejudice, Emma, and Jane Eyre.)

I love that movie. It is so incredible. The main character, ummmm....I'm forgetting her name already...I think it might be Emily.... ??....is so incredibly sweet. I definitely thought it was the type of movie that a mother could sit down with her daughter and say, "Look at her. She's been wronged. She acts sweet. Look at her. She's being taken advantage of. She's being talked about. Yet she is kind." Wow! Loved, loved, loved the main character.

After watching an entire movie where all the actors have British accents, I talk British in my head. :)

It is 5 hours long, though. I definitely did not do it all in one setting.

OH! And I must say if there was one word that described this movie, it would be - DRA.MA. Wow! Like, girl drama. Wow!

It was an excellent movie. Now I'm interested in the book.

So what is the best way to get hooked on a book or movie? Watch the movie and read the book. Or. Read the book and watch the movie. For me, it typically is to watch the movie and then read the book. I've definitely never been the type of girl to read all the classics. But I'm working on it this summer.

Just wanted to drop off a recommendation if you've never seen this movie. I loved it!
