Just Curious-- What Makes The 2009 Emma Adaptation A Work Of Art?

Just curious-- what makes the 2009 Emma adaptation a work of art?

*cracks knuckles* *pulls out color coded binder* I’m so glad you asked.

I’ve seen a lot of Emma adaptations: Clueless, Emma (1996), Aisha, the other BBC series (the one with Kate Beckinsdale and Mark Strong), Emma Approved, and of course, the 2009 BBC Miniseries. The 2009 version is my favorite, it always has been, and it always will be. Most of that comes down to characterization, but it is also about the way it captures Austen’s story magnificently though language, set design, costuming, and music.

Aziraphale, hanging out on Noah’s Ark watching the flood waters rise. Hears a noise down in the hull and goes to investigate.

Finds Crowley stowed away in the hull along with several hundred Mesopotamian children ranging in age from infants to late teens.

Crowley, in the middle of passing around a bread basket that endlessly refills itself, looks up like a deer in headlights. “Okay, I can explain this…”

—Later that day—

Crowley, while bottle feeding one of the infants: I mean clearly the Almighty wants these children dead, what with their capacity for evil and stuff, so by saving them all, I’m actually going against the Ineffable Plan.

Aziraphale, hiding a smile: Right. Makes perfect sense.

Crowley: I’m being very evil here.

Aziraphale: Of course you are.

Crowley: …you’re not about to throw them all overboard, are you? Because I will fight you.

Aziraphale: Oh, no. You’ve clearly outwitted me this time. I must accept my defeat with grace. And Noah has enough on his plate with the animals, I shouldn’t burden him with this. You’ve won this round, wily serpent.

Crowley, getting choked up: Y-Yes, that’s right. I’m very wily. And evil. Don’t forget that.

Jab We Met is such a good and pure romance like Aditya was fully and honestly in love with Geet but he 1)didn’t act like just because he was in love that that meant they’d be together 2) didn’t regret loving her without being able to have her and actually just used his love for her to inspire him to be his best self and be happy and successful 3)actually tried to help Geet get another guy because he thought that would make her happy and didnt presume anything until she was the one to say something.

And Geet is just a delight like yes girl, be crazy, do the things that light your heart up, be your own favorite what an icon.

kaanha-ki-barkat - There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart.

I still think it’s hilarious that Crowley canonically slept for decades and centuries just because he could and apparently not a single one of his superiors tried to interfere? They’re known to demand regular updates of his demonic activities and apparently Crowley’s absence doesn’t make a difference at all. Crowley really is a shitty demon and I love him

Take a moment to say thank you.

Thank you that I am alive.

Thank you that I am healthy.

Thank you that I am able to pursue my passion.

There may be darkness. At times, I may be tempted to give up.

But I don’t.

And not even the strongest of flames can burn this undying gratitude of mine.

For I will always be thankful.

~Nic A
