This morning I watched the BBC version of Emma. And I must say that I loved this version WAY more than the movie with Gwyeneth Paltrow. This version showed more of the relationship between Frank Churchill and Jane Fairfax. I could never understand how she couldn't have been upset with him while he was pretending to like Emma. And they showed more of that in the movie.
And there weren't any of the additional scenes that the movie had added to the story. I am glad that Miss Smith and Emma both found happiness at the same time, where the movie had Miss Smith being very sad because Mr. Knightly was going to marry Emma.
And I just loved how Kate Beckinsale portrayed Emma in this version. She just seemed like she was more elite than Gwyeneth's version.
So, again, if you haven't seen this one go out and see it! :)

Mel - Thanks for sharing this, I haven't seen the BBC version, I'll have to check it out. I like Kate Beckinsale, she's a good actress.
Kristen, I think you'll really like it. I did like Kate in this one. I wasn't too sure on the actor that played Knightly, but he started to grow on me by the end of the movie. And the same with the actor that played Frank Churchill. I liked Ewan McGregor so much in the other movie, that it took me a bit to warm up to the other actor.
