Jane Austen's happy endings - The final proposal scenes of six Austen couples

Video Description

00:00 Northanger Abbey (2007) 04:50 Sense and Sensibility (1995) 11:31 Pride and Prejudice (1995) 15:53 Mansfield Park (1999) 18:09 Emma (1996 TV) 23:29 Persuasion (1995) As everyone has their favourites when it comes to screen adaptations of Austen novels, the adaptations featured in this compilation have been chosen on the basis of the extent of faithfulness to the scene as described in the books. For the sake of consistency in tone and visual aesthetic across the scenes, only the adaptations from '90s and later were considered. For PRIDE & PREJUDICE, PERSUASION and NORTHANGER ABBEY, the selection was straight-forward. For the the first two, the 1995 adaptations depicted the scene most faithfully, while for NORTHANGER ABBEY there is only the 2007 ITV movie to pick after the '90s. For SENSE & SENSIBILITY, the scene from the 1995 movie was picked as its counterpart from the 2008 adaptation is copyright blocked in Youtube. The choice for EMMA was a little hard as there are FOUR modern adaptations to choose from. However, the 1996 ITV movie starring Kate Beckinsale and Mark Strong was a bit more faithful than the rest in the setting of the scene and the dialogues (except, perhaps, a certain dialogue at the end of the scene which some viewers might find awkward). As for MANSFIELD PARK, Austen does not describe the proposal scene in the book and the choice was between 1999 and 2007 movies. The scene from the 1999 movie was picked as it had Austen's lines as voice-over at the beginning.
