Mansfield Park (2007)
Not all Bad.......Could have been Better......Still enjoyed it
After reading mixed reviews on this production. I thought I would take a gamble and purchase this. Okay I would not say that this is a 10 star production. The screen play could of been written a little better and filming in one location does restrict the production. However this is a non offensive production unlike the 1999 film where Henry and Maria are in a sex scene. Which is not appropriate for Jane Austen. After viewing this I found myself wanting to read the novel. I enjoyed watching Blake Riston as Edmund Bertram. He does a fine job. The moment when Edmund realizes that he is in love with Fanny was beautifully done and the ending is so romantic. I would recommend this to any Jane Austen fan. However if you are looking for a production that will blow you away this is not one of them. But what it this is is a nice introduction to Jane Austen novel. I would like to see BBC make another Mansfield Park which will give time for story telling. A BBC remake is well over due. Perhaps BBC can improve on their awful 1983 production and like the BBC 1995 P&P make another classic that would make all JA fans fall in love with her novels all over again. At the same time creating a new generation of JA fans. Until then this 2007 version of Mansfield Park will do.
