That said, I don’t actually remember if Emma is portrayed that way in the book. It gives us a reason for Emma to act the way she does, and, for me, makes her easier to stomach in that particular version of the film.
Of course she’s going to cling to Harriet, who’s her age, so of course she’s going to convince herself that Harriet is her social equal. and her life is spent flailing about for something - anything - to occupy her attention and give her purpose.” And that’s exactly what I (and a friend of mine who is an Emma enthusiast) got out of the new film: after her governess marries, she really has no friends anymore–at least not in the way Miss Taylor was her friend.

I think Card went too far in his praise of the new Emma and in his condemnation of the old, but he does make some good points. I await the definitive Emma adaptation, and until then I have Clueless. (STILL TRAUMATIZED) That doesn’t mean it wasn’t enjoyable, of course, but I don’t think it’s a definitive adaptation. AND THEY LEFT OUT THE BROTHER AND SISTER LINE WHAT. I still haven’t been motivated to finish watching the latest adaptation, but the beginning with the Poor Pitiful Orphans bit and what I saw of the portrayal of Miss Bates does not jibe at all with the book I have read.
I don’t love it, but I like it well enough, which is the way I feel about all the Emma adaptations except Clueless.
