- 1:02It's so nice. Like I even took like a day off
- 1:05of work dollar day and I went around like to and afternoon.
- 1:08I was the only one in the theaters with a beer watching
- 1:12Suicide Squad and it was just like, I felt like I was in
- 1:15heaven. It was the best feeling ever.
- 1:17It's so good. Like, I must admit, I really
- 1:20enjoy this new trend of them. Putting new releases on
- 1:24streaming platforms. It doesn't change me wanting to
- 1:28go to the movies, like most of them.
- 1:29Movies, I watched on streaming. I also went to go see in
- 1:32theaters. Yeah, it's almost like, I like
- 1:35both because it helps me make a choice.
- 1:38Like when Suicide Squad came out, I said, okay I'm going to
- 1:40see that one in theaters but then some movies come out are
- 1:43like, oh, I could probably just, you know, stream that it kind of
- 1:46helps you like, prioritize, what?
- 1:48Sounds more fun. Absolutely there, there are
- 1:51things. I watched just because they went
- 1:53straight to streaming, then I never in a million years would
- 1:56have gone to a theater for. Yeah, totally.
- 1:59But yeah. It's also why I love doing this
- 2:01podcast with you so much because it's making me like, have to go
- 2:04to the movies and see things, too.
- 2:06I know I'm watching things that like, I would have just, like,
- 2:09completely glossed over before and it's only gonna get worse.
- 2:14I'm gonna get worse. Hey, don't forget who's in
- 2:17charge of the schedule? Yeah, I know, I know.
- 2:20I'm sorry. Are you excited for this week's
- 2:22movie, though? I am excited.
- 2:26I'm very nervous. But I'm ready to just dig into
- 2:29To it. So bring us there everyone.
- 2:33This week we watched Autumn de Wilde's 2020.
- 2:37Adaptation of Jane Austen's. Emma.
- 2:41Whoo. So good.
- 2:42This is such a good adaptation. So last week, we are episode was
- 2:47clueless as you all remember. And I've never seen Emma.
- 2:52I've never seen any adaptation of Emma Pride and Prejudice
- 2:56anything Jane Austen but I've seen clueless lungs.
- 3:00Glad I thought clueless to help me understand what's Happening
- 3:02Here. Find that just so hilarious
- 3:05because like I would have been lost and clueless if I had not
- 3:10watched him a first, this shows how different we are.
- 3:14I was just like, where's mr. Elton.
- 3:17Wait, the we're like who's supposed to be like, Miss
- 3:21Taylor, and mr. West, I don't like mr.
- 3:24Elton was the guy at the party who tried to make out with
- 3:27share. I get that once I actually Ali
- 3:30heard his name and he wasn't some weird guy.
- 3:32Just kissing her on the cheek all the time.
- 3:36I mean okay that's goes us out goes without saying but we are
- 3:39in Elizabeth's world this week so I'm just here as support, I
- 3:43love this movie, it was fun but Elizabeth is in charge.
- 3:47Today, I'm just here to talk about pretty costumes.
- 3:50That that is exactly what we're here for.
- 3:52So Spencer, Kansas not synopsis. All right.
- 3:55My here is the summary this week brought to you by Wikipedia The
- 4:01number one source for information wish I just finished
- 4:04that synopsis myself. The film follows the story of
- 4:09Miss Emma, Woodhouse a wealthy and elegant young woman living
- 4:13with her father and Regency Era, England, something of a queen
- 4:17bee in her sleepy, little town, em amuses, herself with
- 4:21matchmaking and medals, in the Romantic lives of those closest
- 4:25to her. Emma must navigate her way
- 4:27through challenges of growing up friendships.
- 4:29And misguided matches before she can recognize the love that has
- 4:33been there all along and earned her happily ever after.
- 4:37Boom there. That's what that is actually.
- 4:39Very good. Synopsis.
- 4:41Yeah. So see, Wikipedia knows
- 4:43everything. I don't know why teachers would
- 4:45give me a hard time for copy and pasting.
- 4:48That's probably more about plagiarism which I did not do,
- 4:52by the way. Sure you do.
- 4:53I trust you, if you haven't seen the 2020, Mama and you have not
- 5:01seen any other adaptation of Emma of which there are many
- 5:05stop right here. Go watch any of them.
- 5:07You really won't fully understand this episode unless
- 5:10you watch the 2020 Emma with annotated Roy.
- 5:14But you know, at least you'll know what we're talking about,
- 5:16kind of, so go do that and then come back to us.
- 5:21I think an important part of this podcast is understanding
- 5:24what we're talking about. So I definitely recommend seeing
- 5:26the movie. Yeah.
- 5:27See the movie, love the movie. She and then come back to us so
- 5:32that I can now take you behind the Wardrobe.
- 5:35So director, Autumn de Wilde actually had a big hand in the
- 5:40costumes. She was very fascinated by the
- 5:44fashion and how that was going to translate to the screen but
- 5:49she hired Alexandra Brynn as her costume designer.
- 5:54You'll know her from just maybe one or two little films like
- 6:00Thor, its sequel was with the golden age or you might know her
- 6:03from a little film, Phantom of the Opera or Thor.
- 6:07You might know her from The Avengers, or maybe rise, 300
- 6:11Rise of an Empire, you might have seen Guardians of the
- 6:14Galaxy, a small film Avengers Age of Ultron another, just
- 6:19tiny, little in and out of theater film.
- 6:22Doctor Strange murder on the Orient.
- 6:25Express, might not have heard of that, or most recently, just us
- 6:29A small little thing called a Mary Queen of Scots.
- 6:33Yeah. All tiny movies that no one's
- 6:35ever heard of this woman has worked.
- 6:40Yeah I mean she's like the best of the best you know, she really
- 6:46is and I love this film because she's done a lot of interviews.
- 6:50There are quite a few articles out there and she I love this
- 6:54because she really did her research.
- 6:56One of the things she really looked to for the cause Teams,
- 7:00were the fashion journals that were being published at the
- 7:03time. And this was kind of the first
- 7:05time in history where fashion was being widely circulated
- 7:09through print and then it was kind of up to people to like
- 7:14make it themselves but she took a lot of inspiration from that.
- 7:18She also I forget what museum she visited.
- 7:23It might have been the Victoria and Albert Museum and looked
- 7:26into their eye Archive of Riga. Sierra clothing and she like,
- 7:32went into the seams of these two like look see what the color is
- 7:36actually were. And she was like they were so
- 7:39vibrant and in a lot of these just period films in general,
- 7:45things will kind of washed out and her and Autumn too wild.
- 7:49They did not want to do washed out, they wanted to do vibrant.
- 7:54They wanted to make it closer to the actual period.
- 7:58So they were like these. Is we're seeing vibrant colors
- 8:02in these old pieces. We're going to go vibrant.
- 8:05So that was a big inspiration for them.
- 8:09Just going back. Looking at was actually, what
- 8:12was actually available at the time.
- 8:14One thing she learned from, all of these was about like a
- 8:17working wardrobe. Their budget was not terribly
- 8:21big on this film. So she really had to like, make
- 8:26every piece count. She didn't have doubles for
- 8:29things. She's like, we're not doing
- 8:30action sequences. So, most the majority of those
- 8:34pieces are one-offs Emma. It looks like she has a parade
- 8:38of clothing. She only has three Muslim
- 8:40dresses. The rest is just like layering.
- 8:44So this it's such a fascinating film just for how she did the
- 8:49Wardrobe. Yeah, which is why she was
- 8:51nominated for an Oscar and 2021. Yeah, I was.
- 8:56So this was actually the last movie I saw in theaters before.
- 8:59Pandemic hit and I was like, oh, this is so pretty.
- 9:02Like, I wanted to go see it again but then like everything.
- 9:05Shut down, things happened. Yeah, things happen.
- 9:09Now, I love what you said about like the vibrancy of the colors
- 9:12because when people think Regency, they think really like
- 9:15these faded pale, no color dresses.
- 9:18But like, that's not how they were warned.
- 9:20It's just that's how we see them now you know, years and years
- 9:23later. They're very dated and faded but
- 9:26the colors were could have been very vibrant.
- 9:29Yeah. And I think especially people
- 9:30think like, oh natural, it was all natural dyeing at the time.
- 9:33So like, oh, that must not be as vibrant.
- 9:36But actually, a girl, I know from high school, she now owns a
- 9:39natural dyeing company and they're like, I visited her
- 9:43website ones. And their colors are just like
- 9:45really intense. So I'm like natural dyeing.
- 9:48It's just as good as our chemical.
- 9:50Yeah. Well, okay, I love this movie
- 9:54and I'm sure you have tons of facts to share with us as we go
- 9:57through this. So I'm excited to just jump
- 9:59Until this take me to it. All right, so before we jump
- 10:03into it, everybody, we're going to take a little break and then
- 10:05we'll be right back. All right.
- 10:28Sounds, are you ready to jump into Emma?
- 10:30I'm ready. Well, actually, I'm a little
- 10:31scared but you're gonna be there to hold my hand through this.
- 10:34Okay, I'm here to hold, everybody's hand through this
- 10:38entire movie. So don't fret do.
- 10:41Not fries, there's no fretting here.
- 10:43There's no fighting here, unfortunately, Emma.
- 10:47She's have to deal with some frightening, she's getting ready
- 10:49for the wedding of her governess.
- 10:52Miss Taylor, who has been like a best friend and mother to her.
- 10:55So she is sad to see her go. Her father is downright
- 11:00distressed to see Miss Taylor leave.
- 11:04He is a man who is not comfortable with change.
- 11:07However, Emma is very happy to see, mrs.
- 11:10Taylor me. Mary.
- 11:11Their good friend, mr. Weston, she made the match
- 11:15herself and she is very, very proud of it.
- 11:19They go to the wedding, she's looking around for a mr.
- 11:23Frank Churchill, because he is The Prodigal Son of mr.
- 11:27Weston but unfortunately he doesn't show up so she goes to
- 11:31the reception at their house and spends a lovely day with her
- 11:36friends that evening. Another good friend shows up,
- 11:39mr. Knightley and Is there just to
- 11:42kind of talk a little bit about the wedding and see, see what
- 11:45went down. So what do you think of this
- 11:48first? The first couple, the first just
- 11:50couple minutes of Emma. Spencer.
- 11:52I loved it. Like I said earlier, I'm so glad
- 11:55I watched clueless because I gave me kind of like, oh, that's
- 11:58who this person is. That's who that person is.
- 12:01But I love the costumes already. I was so into it, when I saw
- 12:05Emma's like first light pink costume with like that really
- 12:10interesting, I Not even describe it.
- 12:12Just like dispenser jacket. Yes, it's just so beautiful.
- 12:16I was already hooked instantly. Yeah, so I really like this
- 12:19opening sequence because Alexandra Brynn.
- 12:22She used what she called a working wardrobe, which was a
- 12:26lot of it's what all of us have a lot of separate different
- 12:29pieces that can be interchanged to make different outfits.
- 12:33So we first see her in the muslin dress, that she's pretty
- 12:36much going to wear all day with just a little freely.
- 12:41Collar placed over the top. That's what she's wearing.
- 12:44When she gets the flowers for Miss Taylor, and then for the
- 12:48wedding, we see her change into she replaces the collar with
- 12:53that light, pink, Spencer jacket.
- 12:55She puts on that fabulous hat and has her yellow shoes which I
- 13:01find it. Really interesting.
- 13:02She how she only has like the one pair of yellow shoes, I
- 13:05think she has some other like slippers but it's like, yeah,
- 13:08she's rich, but even back then shoes first.
- 13:11He'll extremely expensive to have made and it was like it was
- 13:15a whole process every single pair of shoes was handmade.
- 13:18So yeah, even though she is red. She's not going to still not
- 13:20going to have like a slew of them around her.
- 13:24She wears that light Spencer jacket to the wedding.
- 13:26Then once they come home for the reception she changes into she
- 13:32sells her muslin dress on but she puts this little just like
- 13:36vest over that only, it's like a Second Empire, like top.
- 13:41Over her dress, add some sleeves to it.
- 13:44And then, at night, when mr. Knightley comes, she's put like
- 13:48a house jacket over the whole thing.
- 13:51So, I just, I love that sequence because it's kind of, it's a
- 13:55whole bunch of different costumes but it's actually just
- 13:58the same one with different accessories.
- 14:00Yeah, it didn't notice that until you started explain it.
- 14:03She really is just essentially wearing the same dress all day
- 14:05long just putting different pieces over it but all those
- 14:08little individual pieces almost changed entirely.
- 14:11Outfit for me, which is so cool. Yeah, it looks like she has a
- 14:15lot more clothes than she actually does.
- 14:17Yeah, I love that. My favorite jacket is also
- 14:20called the Spencer jacket, which it checks right.
- 14:23I love that light pink and I love like you mentioned that
- 14:27like Empire, like pink vest that she puts on that the other day.
- 14:31So interesting to me, but my favorite costume has to be mr.
- 14:37Woodhouse's costume. Her father who Essentially, he's
- 14:42wearing this robe thing or a suit, and he basically Blends in
- 14:46with the couch, like, he's the ultimate, couch potato for like
- 14:49the entire 5001 Mr. Mr. Knightley's there?
- 14:53Yeah, he's so funny and like, he really what he wears.
- 14:57He does just like blend into the background because even to the
- 15:01wedding, he's just wearing that like light blue and like gray
- 15:05blue. Very, very simple.
- 15:07But what it does do is because like they're the richest people
- 15:10in the neighborhood. And it really makes the two of
- 15:12them stand out. Once they get to the wedding,
- 15:15literally, everyone else there is in some sort of burgundy or
- 15:19Earth Tone and it's it's so funny because they're just they
- 15:25stick out so much and they're like yes we are the richest
- 15:28people here. Yeah.
- 15:30They they definitely stand out, they definitely feel like and of
- 15:34kind of like the fun eccentric, two people there compared to
- 15:37everyone else who like one of my favorite characters.
- 15:41Is mrs. Bates, where she's wearing that
- 15:44like really burgundy but then she has the fur collar over with
- 15:47the blue and the gray, the big frilly hat and she's next to
- 15:51this very elderly woman her mother.
- 15:53Yeah. We're like the cutest little
- 15:57like black bonnet situation going on here.
- 16:00It's so funny. So yeah.
- 16:03Compared to Emma like Emma's definitely like the little
- 16:05fashion star even to like you said, she's not even doing all
- 16:08that much. She's not.
- 16:10She's just very Very stylish, she knows what's how to use what
- 16:13she has. Also, in this first segment is
- 16:16one of my favorite scenes because in a couple of
- 16:20interviews, Autumn de Wilde. She mentions, she's like, and
- 16:24all these historical films. Like we always see women getting
- 16:29changed and unchanged change and unchanged like all the
- 16:34historical films. It's like oh how did this woman
- 16:36get in and out of her crazy costume.
- 16:40But in this one They show us how a man gets in and out of his
- 16:43crazy costumes. I love that seed to I was just,
- 16:49I was kind of amazed because I was like, why does he need help
- 16:52getting into these clothes? But I guess I actually was
- 16:55pretty complicated. Yeah.
- 16:56Actually in an interview with the wrap Alexandra, Bryn says
- 17:00that she I read a Diary of a gentleman, who explained
- 17:04dressing with his valet, The Measure of a Man in the Regency
- 17:09Era was about the quality of his life.
- 17:11Laundry. How clean his shirt was and how
- 17:13starched his white collar was. So it's like he needed this
- 17:18other man's help because like everything has to look pristine.
- 17:24I love that, okay? I'm starting to get a little bit
- 17:26of a flashback back to when we were doing our articles on the
- 17:30art of costume for Oscars week, wasn't it?
- 17:32You who emailed me and you're like, I have a photo of the nude
- 17:37man getting dressed. Can I get it?
- 17:39Yes. Or no?
- 17:40Yeah. Video clip Up that see.
- 17:43Okay, now that I've seen it like in context, it is important, you
- 17:50know, I think it was very interesting to see the this very
- 17:53long process of getting dressed, you know?
- 17:55Of course we saw it with like Bridge Orton and like how women
- 17:58got dressed but no one announces.
- 18:00I mean talks about how perfectly they wrapped a collar and how to
- 18:04put on these pants and then the coat and all the boots and yeah.
- 18:07So I'm glad you brought that up. Yeah and like in a lot of Films.
- 18:11It's like, look at this. Look at us undressing Andre
- 18:14dressing this hot woman and it's like they apparently did film
- 18:18addressing scene with Emma, but they were like, you know what?
- 18:21It's the man's turn. Oh, one thing I thought was
- 18:24hilarious, which, you know, we've gone to know through these
- 18:27Regency pieces lately is, how are these mutton-chop type
- 18:31sideburns? That the men were so famous for
- 18:34her to Regency area cuz you know, it's very like through
- 18:37research. It's like men, either had no
- 18:40facial hair. Are were very clean shaven or
- 18:43they just have like the biggest most disgusting sideburns ever.
- 18:48And so it just for me this ruins, the fantasy a little bit
- 18:51of it because, you know, eventually Emma falls in love
- 18:54with mr. Knightley.
- 18:55But the whole time I was like, not with the sideburns please.
- 18:58No. I mean, his sideburns aren't too
- 19:01bad. They're they're very on point
- 19:04for the air though. Yeah.
- 19:05No. Totally there.
- 19:06Exactly to how the men wore their sideburns.
- 19:10That's just to me. I just makes you want to scream.
- 19:12I want to shave him especially right now because facial hair
- 19:15was like not a thing. It just like was not a thing at
- 19:18this point. Yeah, totally.
- 19:20So at this point now that Miss Taylor is married out of the
- 19:24house, I'm a little lonely, but someone new moves into the
- 19:30village. She decides to / friend, Harriet
- 19:33Smith, who she believes is the illegitimate daughter of a
- 19:37gentleman. So Emma kinda wants to make a
- 19:39project out of her. She wants to help Harriet, take
- 19:43her rightful place in society, and find a quote on quote
- 19:46suitable, husband Harriet. She's like, oh shit, like I have
- 19:51this man, mr. Martin, a local farmer.
- 19:54His family's been really nice to me, but Emma's like, hmm.
- 19:57Yes, but what about this? Lovely local, Reverend, mr.
- 20:01Elton much more suitable for the maybe daughter of a gentleman
- 20:08and while Harriet loves me, Mr. Martin she is completely
- 20:13enamored by Emma and takes her advice and when mr.
- 20:17Martin says will you marry me? She says sorry.
- 20:22No mr. Martin is upset by this
- 20:24rejection. Mr. Knightley is also upset by
- 20:27this rejection, because he's mr. Martin's friend.
- 20:31And landlord and Mr. Knightley's like Emma.
- 20:34What's up, what? Like she can't do better than
- 20:38mr. Martin, nobody knows who her
- 20:40family is. Just let her just be happy and
- 20:42marry this man. And she's like, no, no Harriet
- 20:46can do better and he's like, well, if you're talking about
- 20:48mr. Elton sorry to disappoint, but
- 20:51he's looking to marry a rich woman.
- 20:55Oh my gosh. Yeah, I love what I love about
- 20:57this movie is that it's set in the Regency Era, but still feels
- 21:01like such like, 20 21 like drama, like this literally just
- 21:06bickering and throwing shade at each other talking, some Yeah II
- 21:12feel mr. Knightley on this one.
- 21:13I'm like, Emma. You just need to like mind your
- 21:16manners and just stop messing with other people's lives.
- 21:19Yeah. She's never had to go.
- 21:21That's like kind of the whole point of the book is that she's
- 21:25basically just like a spoiled brat, who's never really had to
- 21:28check herself. Yeah, let's talk about some
- 21:31costumes though. They there's a lot of great
- 21:33costumes in this segment. I absolutely love this red coat.
- 21:37She's wearing, but my favorite part about is the hatched she's
- 21:40wearing. Also this That's like, I've seen
- 21:42this image so many times, and every time I see it, she looks
- 21:44like a painting. She looks so beautiful in this
- 21:47garment. She really does.
- 21:49That's one thing I like about this movie.
- 21:50You could take any frame and turn it into a painting, and it
- 21:54would be absolutely gorgeous. I love this.
- 21:57I love that. Like, you can see the collar of
- 22:01the dress. She was wearing when her aunt
- 22:03Harriet have t. Just kind of like draped over
- 22:06the collar of her jacket. I think that is totally.
- 22:10I didn't. Nuys that.
- 22:11Yeah, it looks like part of the coat but it's actually her dress
- 22:14collar. So it's so cool and it's like,
- 22:17such a contrast between her and Harriet because Harriet, she
- 22:22lives at the local boarding house, but it is said that,
- 22:26like, she's relatively well-off for a single woman with no
- 22:31family. Like she has no allowance.
- 22:32She's taken care of. Just, nobody knows.
- 22:35Exactly, who is taking care of her, including Harriet herself.
- 22:39She just knows. Taking care of, but it's like
- 22:43Emma, Rich. Emma has the very nice coat with
- 22:47the leather gloves. Or as Harriet, she just has her
- 22:52little cape, and I think she has like some fingerless gloves that
- 22:55she's wearing, which it's like, yes, still very.
- 22:58She still looks very nice but not, not like Emma.
- 23:02Yeah, it's like a nice. What's not?
- 23:04Like a rich sophisticated. Nice, you know.
- 23:06So the girls of the boarding house I'm guessing are the ones
- 23:10wearing the Red capes then yes. I think it's a school and
- 23:14boarding house. I don't think it's just a
- 23:16boarding house. I think it's probably like a
- 23:19manner school as well. Yeah, I think this is definitely
- 23:22my favorite costume of the film was just this little scene right
- 23:25here. It's so stunning.
- 23:27And then also ml, there's a lot of stunning coats in this like
- 23:30that yellow one. Yellow looks so good on her too.
- 23:34That's just such a. I'm not a big yellow person but
- 23:37I'm all about this yellow coat. It's beautiful.
- 23:41Looks so good. And then it's perfectly offset
- 23:43with the white and the black hats.
- 23:45If it had just been like black and yellow, I would have been
- 23:48like, oh, this is not great, but like off putting it with the
- 23:52little bit of white is perfect. This is when we really get the
- 23:56meat biss Miss Bates at her like best until she's she I everyone
- 24:02knows this type of person who you like and up in a
- 24:04conversation with. Yeah and they just go and go and
- 24:07go just talking and talking and he don't know how to cut them
- 24:10off. And they just keep going and
- 24:12they don't realize they're just going going going.
- 24:15Yeah, they're just going talking about things.
- 24:17You don't really care about, you know.
- 24:19I one of my friends is talking to me this week.
- 24:22They share like a tick tock, and is all about, like, people with,
- 24:25you know, anxiety and ADHD. When you're talking to us.
- 24:28We already know where this conversation is going to end.
- 24:31We know the end to this story. So, once you start talking, we
- 24:34just totally, like, start blanking out everything you're
- 24:37saying, cause we already know how it ends.
- 24:39That's what's Happening. Here.
- 24:40Emma, It's like okay, just keep going by her costume on mrs.
- 24:45Bates is so funny to me because she feels very like.
- 24:48She feels dated in a way where it's like, she's very old school
- 24:51in this town like Little Bo Peep style.
- 24:55Yeah, so the thing with the bates's is, I forget exactly how
- 25:00but they were, like, probably as rich as Emma and her family, but
- 25:06I think it was her father or her brother.
- 25:08Absolutely, just squandered, the fortune.
- 25:10And and kind of left left them destitute.
- 25:14Because you'll notice, this is almost exactly what she's
- 25:17wearing to the wedding same coat, same hat.
- 25:21I think I might even be the same dress.
- 25:23So she's probably still trying to wear and like make work
- 25:28things that are 5-10 years old from when she was still wealthy
- 25:33to. Now, definitely, let's go to one
- 25:36of the funniest, one of the funniest parts of this movie.
- 25:41When Emma convinces, mr. Elton, that he wants a portrait
- 25:46of Harriet. It's like a fuse.
- 25:49My what's going on here? I was like who is trying to
- 25:52convince who? What is going on?
- 25:54I loved it though. The portrait scene was so
- 25:56stunning though. It was so funny.
- 25:59And like I love how hairy it looks.
- 26:02Because like, it's so ridiculous, but she does look
- 26:04very beautiful in it. I want someone to paint a paint
- 26:09a portrait of me like this, right?
- 26:10I stand in front of some really dated artwork and you just paint
- 26:15me. I'll do it.
- 26:16I'll do it Spencer. Okay.
- 26:18And a whole like a little cloth in my arms.
- 26:20Okay, sounds great. I just it's so funny and the
- 26:25scene leading up to it where he's looking at Emma's drawings.
- 26:28Like she's an okay artists. It's nothing spectacular though
- 26:33and he's looking at her pictures like they're Michelangelo
- 26:37sketches. Oh yeah, she's like, wow, whoo.
- 26:41This is great and I do love her little outfit in this because
- 26:44it's like, it's so ridiculous, but, like, in some of these
- 26:50scenes with mr. Elton, they almost wanted to
- 26:53unintentionally like, make her a little sexy, so it's like, she's
- 26:58like, kind of got her boobs pushed up with just like the
- 27:01detached collar. And then even in the painting
- 27:04scene, like, she's just wearing her muslin was like a little
- 27:06sheer. Something over like, overtop it?
- 27:10Yeah. So Oh, it's like she thinks
- 27:12she's getting him to fall in love with Harriet but he just,
- 27:16he doesn't know where to look. Yeah.
- 27:18But it's not working in her favor right now.
- 27:20But you know, we're getting there is definitely not working
- 27:24in her favor especially when Harry.
- 27:26It's like, oh my gosh mr. Martin wants to marry me and I
- 27:32love this scene because Emma's being fitted for a coach.
- 27:36She wears just a couple scenes later.
- 27:39I love it too. I loved watching.
- 27:41One of my favorite things about movies, especially you, and I
- 27:44being like, you know, journalists so to say of the
- 27:47costume design world is like seeing someone in a movie like,
- 27:51creating a costume. It's like, it's very like, a
- 27:54weird world for us almost. Looks like she's literally
- 27:57creating the dresser right now. You hardly ever see it Ivo, but
- 28:02when it does happen, it's fun. It is so much fun.
- 28:05But yeah, if you look closely at the blue coat, there's like like
- 28:08basting stitches there. I really like putting it
- 28:11together in a moment. It's really cool.
- 28:13Yeah, I mean, like that's how someone of her status and would
- 28:17have been fit for something back, then it like on them.
- 28:21Every inch would have been specifically to her measurements
- 28:25in that moment of time. So I love that.
- 28:28I also love underneath it. She has her, you see this muslin
- 28:32a couple different times but here because she has the yellow
- 28:36Petticoat underneath it, it looks like a yellow dress.
- 28:39Yeah, that's interesting. Take us back a Lizabeth.
- 28:42I want to live in this world, I'm so jealous.
- 28:47I want to live in this world to especially, then the very next
- 28:50scene is one of mr. Knightley comes over to be like,
- 28:54welcome Emma, why did you tell your friend not to marry that
- 28:58man? And she still wearing that that
- 29:01dress with yellow Petticoat, but she put this dark purple Spencer
- 29:06jacket over it. So, again, it looks like a
- 29:09completely different dress. I also love that Alexander
- 29:14brain, she put mr. Knightley, and that yellow
- 29:18jacket because like, he's the only other person in this movie
- 29:22who is her social equal really. And like, the only person who
- 29:28can really confront her about anything.
- 29:31And when you see them side-by-side, it's like, yes,
- 29:34they are complete and utter equals in every situation, also,
- 29:38the like yellow color against the background.
- 29:41Room, which is very pink and green.
- 29:43I just love the use of color in this film.
- 29:45It's so fun and it just pops so beautifully.
- 29:49It's so vibrant. It's just like you said earlier,
- 29:52every scene feels like it could just be a portrait.
- 29:55It really could more portrait like scenes coming up are during
- 29:59Christmas. Very exciting during Christmas
- 30:03Emma's like working on her scheme to get mr.
- 30:06Elton to marry Harriet, her, sister and brother-in-law.
- 30:11Are in town. She's still kind of on the outs
- 30:14with mr. Knightley but she's like, no
- 30:18worries. We're just going to go to the
- 30:20westons. Christmas party.
- 30:22Have a good time. Once again, she's disappointed
- 30:25that Frank Churchill's not showing up but it's like, okay,
- 30:28whatever. But then her whole family freaks
- 30:30out about the snow. They rush to get home leaving
- 30:34her to share a carriage with mr. Elton was very excited, I bet.
- 30:41He is, and when they're on the way to take Emma home, he
- 30:45proposes Emma freaks out. She's like, no, no, you're in
- 30:49love with my friend and he's like, um, he's basically like
- 30:52Harriet like you're the one. I've been interested in this
- 30:55whole time and she's like absolutely not and he gets out
- 31:00of the car like a little bitch walks home all disappointed.
- 31:04So now Emma has to tell Harriet who's also disappointed but
- 31:09because Harriet's like not Social equal.
- 31:12She's just like oh of course of course.
- 31:14He loved you and not me so like she's not really surprised but
- 31:19she is upset. That's mr.
- 31:21Elton doesn't want to marry her. Okay, so Josh O'Connor who we
- 31:26really got to know in the crown because he plays Prince Charles.
- 31:30He's such a brilliant actor but he's brilliant though because
- 31:34he's such an actor that makes you want.
- 31:36Like he has such a punchable face, I always want to fight him
- 31:40and every row. Well, he's in, but he's so good
- 31:43at it though. Like, he's got such a great
- 31:45actor, but you're like, dang, I hate this guy, but I like him
- 31:48because I hate him. He's good at that role.
- 31:51Yeah, he is very good at that role.
- 31:54It's so funny. Like I hate him in the scene
- 31:56because he's got like 50, he's got his hat in his cave and he
- 32:01gets, he gets into into the carriage and he like undoes the
- 32:05front of his cave. Like it's supposed to be sexy or
- 32:08something. Mike.
- 32:11Looking out the window. I mean, maybe that's how it was
- 32:16back in the day, like, absolutely how it was.
- 32:18It's scandalous that they were even sharing a carriage together
- 32:22without a chaperone. Yeah.
- 32:24Unbutton the cape who eyebrows eyebrows.
- 32:28It's getting hot in here, who knows what happens.
- 32:33But I did love Emma's coat that she wore to the carriage that
- 32:38like red coat with the big collar.
- 32:41Iran. It.
- 32:41I love that the red cave. Yeah, so nice on her, it's so
- 32:45nice and the dress, she's wearing to that Christmas.
- 32:48Eve party is so beautiful, the white with the silver,
- 32:53embroidery. Like it's so festive without
- 32:57screaming Christmas and one thing we haven't really
- 33:01mentioned, but we probably should.
- 33:03But, you know, the Regency Era is very known for its empire
- 33:07waist, addresses. Yeah, everything's an empire
- 33:10waist. Literally everything for the
- 33:12women and we haven't mentioned that, but that just goes without
- 33:15saying that when you're watching a film of the Regency Era
- 33:18bridger-teton anything like that, it's all about empire
- 33:21waist. Yeah, it's all about the empire
- 33:23waist. They were really trying to
- 33:25emulate. Greek and Roman sculpture and
- 33:29the empire waist was the easiest way to do that.
- 33:32Although I must admit it's very sad that that Trend did not last
- 33:36longer because it's like it's such a much more freeing.
- 33:41Silhouette than what comes after it.
- 33:44And I love to that you mention this.
- 33:46I think it's so interesting that the empire waist and these
- 33:49Silhouettes was very inspired by like Greek and Roman culture, I
- 33:52think that's really cool because you wouldn't really get that by
- 33:56looking at any of these scenes were like, oh, like, why, how
- 33:59were they inspired by break Greek?
- 34:01And Roman cultures, but was, yeah, there was a huge Revival
- 34:06of Greek and Roman art and literature during the time.
- 34:10So, It was a gigantic influence on this entire period.
- 34:14Yeah, so we're ending this segment as they as Emma goes to
- 34:19the boarding house school. I The Boarding House.
- 34:23Yeah, I love this scene and they're like taking turns
- 34:27smacking their faces and to like a cake made out of sand.
- 34:30I don't know what the hell's going on here.
- 34:32I think it's a cake made out of flour.
- 34:35I believe and I think, I think it's almost like Jenga accept
- 34:40it. Like, whoever gets the little, I
- 34:44guess it's a pound to fall. They then have to go pick it up
- 34:48with their teeth. I think I kind of think that's
- 34:50the game. I loved everyone's reaction when
- 34:53Emma walks in another. Oh mrs.
- 34:56Woodhouse, we're so sorry. And I was like what the fuck
- 34:59guys doing? That was my reaction too.
- 35:01Is like, can you guys go read a book or something?
- 35:03What the hell is happening here? You were having some Christmas
- 35:06fun. They're all, they all look very
- 35:08cute in this scene. They're all like they do.
- 35:11In pastels, and this is like the most pattern you ever see in the
- 35:14entire film. Oh, yeah.
- 35:17It's everywhere. There's a little flowers.
- 35:18There's Checkers. There's polka dots.
- 35:21Yeah, to put a simple, I guess. Yeah, I love Harriet's.
- 35:25Little like crocheted shrug. Yeah, that's what I was trying
- 35:28to figure out. Its, it does look like crochet
- 35:31Emma. Has her very serious Blue Dress
- 35:34On. Yeah.
- 35:35Cuz of course she had a dress up for every occasion before the
- 35:39dinner I think. Is that coat with the fur is
- 35:43what she's being fit for. I want that coat.
- 35:47Will make it for you. Thank you.
- 35:49It seems pretty easy enough, right?
- 35:51I also want all of her Coral jewelry that she's wearing when
- 35:55her sister's visiting. Yes.
- 35:57So beautiful, that dress to like, I wish that scene had been
- 36:01lit a little differently because it has all sorts of like
- 36:05embellishment at the top that is hard to see.
- 36:08Yes, I love all the jewelry. It's all For a stunning.
- 36:11It's just everything about this film was stunning.
- 36:14I I loved it. Just like for the visual aspects
- 36:18of it. I was kind of lost the first
- 36:19watch through, but I just knew I was like wow this is beautiful.
- 36:23I love that. Love that.
- 36:24It's so beautiful. It's so funny.
- 36:27This this film really hits on the comedic elements of Emma.
- 36:32Like I just love her crazy. Her sisters never portrayed as
- 36:36being this crazy and the first the Wahoo, that's actually
- 36:41Knightley's younger brother. It's just it's so good.
- 36:45I love that scene, sorry. Okay, so let's just walk through
- 36:49this a little bit though because last week we had a huge
- 36:52argument, okay? We had a huge argument about
- 36:56share and Paul Rudd getting together, right?
- 36:59Because their step brothers and sisters.
- 37:02So then I watch Emma and Mr. Knightley's older brother
- 37:07younger brother younger brother is married to Emma's see Sir.
- 37:11Yeah. So that wouldn't that make mr.
- 37:13Knightley Emma's brother-in-law. Technically.
- 37:16No technically no but they've been neighbors for ever hit her.
- 37:22Brother-in-law is Mr. Knightley's younger brother.
- 37:25So aren't they kind of related kind of her sisters related to
- 37:29him through marriage? So then the how is this any
- 37:32different than clueless when you gave me a lashing?
- 37:35Okay, this is different because a everybody is of age there are
- 37:41No minors involved be their mother was never married to mr.
- 37:47Woodhouse they never called her sister.
- 37:50They never lived in the same house as siblings.
- 37:55I don't know. I'm just not buying it.
- 37:57It's just not buying it. Elizabeth I'm saying that love
- 38:02is love and I just do want a no just not gonna go there.
- 38:10I'm Saying I get it you know I think they work out as a couple
- 38:15as did I think share and Paul Rudd's character and clueless
- 38:20that's all aside from the fact that she was a minor.
- 38:23But that's just that just that little fact that fact is bad
- 38:27tiny fact that she's a minor in high school and he's in college,
- 38:34okay? Whatever the next movie is, make
- 38:36sure that no brothers or sisters or steps This movie.
- 38:42I mean, I think we need to take a break perfect because it's
- 38:49time for a prank. All right.
- 38:52I'll see you all after the break.
- 39:16All right, friends. We are back Elizabeth and I have
- 39:19a long discussion about these brother sister, not brother and
- 39:24sister relationships. We've put it behind us and we're
- 39:27ready to just proceed without mentioning it ever.
- 39:30Again, for the sake of our relationship, we are never
- 39:33talking about this again, but you know who is Talking Spencer.
- 39:37Mrs. Bates. Oh, God kill me.
- 39:41She's so excited. She is so excited because Her
- 39:45niece Jane Fairfax has finally come home to visit.
- 39:49Hartfield she's excited, Emma's excited to meet her Jane seems a
- 39:55little shy maybe. So Emma's kind of like hmm.
- 40:00Okay, girl whatever. But then she's quickly
- 40:03distracted yet again by the arrival of mr.
- 40:06Weston's, prodigal son. Frank, Churchill Emma and Frank.
- 40:11They're hitting it off right away.
- 40:13They're flirting Emma's like, Hmm, maybe, I will get married,
- 40:16I wasn't going to, but maybe I will get married now.
- 40:19So she's like, okay, I see you Frank.
- 40:23Churchill, so she's going about her life.
- 40:26Her and Harriet are hanging out, and then there's yet another
- 40:30addition to Highbury Society because after she rejected mr.
- 40:36Elton, he went on a little vacation and he came back with a
- 40:40wife who is very much trying to make herself the center of Of
- 40:45social life in the village. I do you know where to start?
- 40:50I want to start with mrs. Elton's hair.
- 40:55Is that her hair? Or is it a bow?
- 40:57I spent the entire movie trying to staring at it.
- 40:59I'm 90%. Sure it's her hair but not 100
- 41:02though. Not 100.
- 41:03And this is how Autumn de Wilde envisioned her pretty much.
- 41:09It's a quote from her interview and fashionista fashion can be,
- 41:13so ridiculous. And I That about fashion and I
- 41:16love especially when the person wearing it does not seem aware
- 41:20of how ridiculous it is, okay? I love that, I love that quote,
- 41:27it's so good. That is like, the basis of her
- 41:31because she's like, she's definitely like, she is that
- 41:34person on Instagram who is wearing every new trend.
- 41:37Yeah. And wearing it to like 100% and
- 41:40immediately dropping it for the next Trend.
- 41:43So she she she's hilarious. She is so funny.
- 41:48I loved my favorite. One of my favorite scenes is
- 41:51when they go to, you know, it's like a chapel where mr.
- 41:55Elton is, oh the church. Yeah, mr.
- 41:57Allens doing his thing, and I walk up, and mrs.
- 42:00Elton is sitting, and like, Emma's chair.
- 42:02And the look on everyone's faces.
- 42:05Like what the fuck is happening here?
- 42:07Who is this girl with the hair bow?
- 42:09I don't like this. I do not like change.
- 42:13Get this out, its know. Like everyone's so mm affronted
- 42:18for them because that's their Pew.
- 42:21Like dude sir is I mean it's nothing anymore but like back in
- 42:24the day like your Pew. Like that was the whole thing
- 42:27and someone taking your Pew was not cool.
- 42:30Oh hell no you better get up out my Pew right about now.
- 42:33And yeah and I love this scene because Emma.
- 42:37She is kind of wearing like a ridiculous fashion.
- 42:40Her hat is a lot, but she balances it out with like an
- 42:44entirely. Lee White Ensemble.
- 42:47Yes. So that in contrast to mrs.
- 42:50Elton who has the big Bonnet with the veil and although
- 42:54foreign she looks like the sun over here in the front Pew or
- 42:59Harry. She's just like in her little
- 43:01Bonnet and like mint green jacket.
- 43:03I love Harriet's. Fashion as the movie goes on
- 43:07because I feel like Emma is like giving her hand-me-downs and
- 43:10like upgrading her wardrobe. Yeah slowly.
- 43:13But surely it's getting There. But Emma's face just says it
- 43:17all. She's just in physical pain
- 43:19seeing someone interview. She had her and her father are
- 43:23not happy about this. No.
- 43:26But rolling way way back. When Miss Bates and bites her
- 43:31and Harry up to the apartment. Yes.
- 43:33I want to talk about this too. It's so drab and like you see
- 43:39Harry and Emma in their Carriage at first and Emissary like a
- 43:41very cute green checkered coat Harry.
- 43:45It has her like, her Brown coat on.
- 43:47They both look very nice, very smart.
- 43:48It's like very like bright and like kind of cheery out.
- 43:52And then as soon as they are put into their dark apartment, you
- 43:55can just see how uncomfortable and depress, they both are.
- 43:59Oh my gosh, it's like even the environment around mrs.
- 44:02Bates is just like please help. It's she's a lovely woman.
- 44:06You know you like she's a nice friend, she's caring but they're
- 44:11all in her space and everything is just like gray and dreary.
- 44:15I've been there and she's just going and going.
- 44:18It's like, Emma's literally in her worst nightmare, right?
- 44:22Yeah. And I love Jane and this scene
- 44:26because you can see that like she's, I think she's been being
- 44:29taken care of like family, friends, her whole life and
- 44:32she's like a young vibrant woman, clearly with that, like,
- 44:36with the white muslin and like the Lilac Spencer jacket.
- 44:40But like, in that environment, just like that environment
- 44:42sucks. The color out of every single
- 44:44thing ever. Everyone's wearing definitely
- 44:46she's she's just like, even she's not happy about this.
- 44:49You could tell. She's just, why are we here?
- 44:51This is ridiculous. I want out of this apartment.
- 44:55That's a funny scene. It's a great scene and I love
- 44:58kind of like the Rivalry between her and Emma.
- 45:02Going forward like at the dinner party.
- 45:05When she plays the piano Forte and it's like she does not look
- 45:08as Grand as Emma. But in terms of like
- 45:11accomplishments and like how she conducts herself in society,
- 45:15Like she is totally Emma's equal even if she doesn't have the
- 45:19Monies to back that up. Oh definitely and at that little
- 45:22dinner party scene she's dressed up so nicely now and like the
- 45:26white with like the coral necklace.
- 45:28She just really glows and you're right.
- 45:31She is Emma's equal once she got out of mrs.
- 45:34Bates tacky, gray apartment. She really liked is given a
- 45:38spot. The shine.
- 45:40I love it. And it's such because Emma's
- 45:42worrying that I think it's a like a black satin.
- 45:45Down in that and that she just contrast, awesomest so nicely.
- 45:50Mmm has going through changes right now.
- 45:53She might not know it yet but she's going through changes.
- 45:56One thing I did like, which I've really learned from talking to
- 46:00you today. Is, you know, how they re wore a
- 46:03lot of things and also it was you essentially just one jacket
- 46:06or outfit that they were putting layers of pieces on top of.
- 46:11So, later on when she's with mr. Churchill, and she's wearing
- 46:13that pink Spencer. Get that I love from the
- 46:15beginning. It kind of just put a light bulb
- 46:18in my head like go you know that seem like there is tons and tons
- 46:22of costumes and this film. But it's really just a use of a
- 46:26lot of the same costumes just in different variations because
- 46:29this feels like a whole new costume but it's not.
- 46:31It's like that's the jacket we saw from earlier.
- 46:33It's really pretty. Yeah, and I love frank Churchill
- 46:37in this. They made him much more of a
- 46:40villain than he usually is but I saw I liked it so much we're
- 46:44going to have to watch Watch the version with Gwyneth Paltrow at
- 46:48some point. Ewan, McGregor plays, Frank,
- 46:51Churchill, and it's amazing. Yeah.
- 46:54Season 2 will watch another Emma just for you.
- 46:58And then there's an Emma miniseries from not that long
- 47:00ago. All right, well, let's pick one
- 47:03want to season know whenever I see them.
- 47:06It's I've decided. Okay, so I love frank Churchill
- 47:10because he's a lot like mrs. Elton where?
- 47:14He's Mr. Knightley, he's a very classy gentleman.
- 47:18He is like the epitome of class in this time.
- 47:22But Frank Churchill, like cuz his aunt and uncle have lots of
- 47:26money that he is going to inherit one day.
- 47:28So, I love, you can see like, he wears that green jacket with the
- 47:33patterned vest. Then he has a solid color vest
- 47:37underneath that and then a pattern Ascot and I'm like, who
- 47:42you like are really looking very fine.
- 47:45Fine, sir, she looks like the Mad Hatter in this scene a
- 47:48little bit, a little bit. And yeah, like you said about
- 47:53like her wearing the Spencer jacket again.
- 47:55I don't think it was told a second time, washing, This
- 47:58months and months ago that I realized like, oh yeah, that's
- 48:01the same jacket. Because even just the hat and
- 48:03her little bag. Now that she doesn't have that
- 48:05huge muff make it looks so different.
- 48:08I do like mr. Churchill's shirt that he's
- 48:11wearing because of the embroidery on it, with the
- 48:13leaves and the flowers That's a really beautiful intricate
- 48:17details. He is very fashionable.
- 48:20I love that scene. Where him and mr.
- 48:23Knightley are like, no, you go through the door first.
- 48:25Know you go through the door first because like, you can see
- 48:28the contrast like mr. Knightley as the classy, but
- 48:32practical gentlemen, he's got his, his jacket, his vest, just
- 48:36an ascot and then yet again, Frank Churchill is wearing a
- 48:40patterned vest with another pattern.
- 48:42Vast. I'm like an ascot that's like
- 48:44double the It's too much. It's like we're comparing Ascot
- 48:49sizes at this point. That's exactly what's happening
- 48:52time for a ball. Oh, Spencer, are you ready?
- 48:56I'm ready. Are you ready for a ball?
- 48:59You know, Elizabeth, I love me a good ball.
- 49:01Well, the westons are about to give you a ball.
- 49:04Frank, Churchill is permanently moving to the Village.
- 49:08Mr. Weston's excited. So, they're going to hold a ball
- 49:10for him there. Emma finds her place in Highbury
- 49:14Society. Challenged by mrs.
- 49:15Elton, she's like, oh I'm a bride.
- 49:17I must come first. Oh, but I'm oh, I don't want to
- 49:21be, I don't want to impose. So she's being obnoxious.
- 49:25Harriet looks lovely, is publicly snubbed by mr.
- 49:31Allen only to be saved by the kind gentleman, mr.
- 49:35Knightley as the night goes on, and then mr.
- 49:39Knightley. Get to dance in and they're like
- 49:41oh what is this? Who are we to each other?
- 49:44They start to catch feelings for each other.
- 49:47They're about to confront it right away.
- 49:50Mr. Knightley runs all the way to her house to say something,
- 49:53but just as he's about to say something Frank, Churchill is
- 49:57running into her home carrying Harriet, who is Thoroughly
- 50:01distressed? She has been attacked on the
- 50:04road home and they're like, oh well, okay let's help her first
- 50:09and Harry. It's like Emma!
- 50:11I'm in love again. Through all her distress, she's
- 50:14only Like, I've been saved, and I'm in love, and I'm just like,
- 50:17oh, so you're in love with Frank.
- 50:19He just saved you from the gypsies.
- 50:21Okay, that that, that makes sense.
- 50:23Okay, so I was like, all right, I guess your new love.
- 50:26Interest is Frank Churchill, these are some wild seeds into
- 50:32it. Okay, let's start with the ball.
- 50:34Let's start with mrs. Elton about ball.
- 50:37Yeah, I was just gonna say mrs. Elton is screaming for
- 50:40attention. I feel like she's screaming for
- 50:42our attention right now to talk about her.
- 50:44Assumes the hair. I can't with the hair but I love
- 50:47that. She put the little piece of
- 50:49jewelry in her hair to make it look like a crown.
- 50:51She looks like a pool. Get off the boat.
- 50:54We gonna put it. She does look like a poodle, I
- 50:57can't. So I'm very confident that as
- 50:59her hair now looking at it more closely.
- 51:01Yeah. It's just super like they
- 51:04probably put a lot of fat in it. Mr. Elton is so proud of
- 51:08himself. He's like, well everyone look at
- 51:10my beautiful bride. I don't need you Emma, I have
- 51:13this bride but she's so annoying.
- 51:15It's almost backfiring. It's like Elton, we don't care
- 51:19and he knows it, he knows she's super obnoxious.
- 51:24Like and then, oh my gosh, the way he disses Harriet.
- 51:28It's like, oh my gosh, you piece of trash?
- 51:32Yeah, like I said earlier, he has a very punchable face, he
- 51:35looked very punchable at this moment.
- 51:37I could not believe what he did. The Harriet.
- 51:39He's just so mean he's so me. Even when mrs.
- 51:42Weston is straight up, like, yo ask this girl to dance.
- 51:45She's all alone and ready to cry about it.
- 51:48He's like, no, yeah, it's just so rude, but I love the ball
- 51:53things. I Love any ball and any film or
- 51:55TV series But like everyone just looks so beautiful.
- 51:59I love Jane, fairfax's costume. She's wearing pink underneath
- 52:03with him wearing like a translucent white mesh over it.
- 52:06It's stunning. I love it.
- 52:08She just looks so beautiful. And Emma should be scared
- 52:11because she is her Eagle. Miss Fairfax.
- 52:14Just looks stunning. I'm obsessed.
- 52:16I love Emma. Always wanting to wear white at
- 52:20night because it makes her stand out so much.
- 52:24So one of the ridiculous kind of additions.
- 52:29Mrs. Elton has to her dress are those little like, rosettes all
- 52:35over the top with the chains of rhinestones and the other
- 52:41frilliness there Emma has those too but there's only like four
- 52:45of them place like far apart. Yeah.
- 52:47Emma's very like the sophisticated, you know, her
- 52:51outfits are very thoughtful. She's very like Put everything
- 52:54on and take one thing off. But mrs.
- 52:57Elton is just like put everything on and then add some
- 53:00more and add some more variety. Must look like a bride.
- 53:07And can we talk about first? We haven't mentioned this mrs.
- 53:10Weston looks beautiful. We haven't even mentioned that
- 53:12she's played by Gemma Whelan from Game of Thrones.
- 53:16Hello, right. I'm like, I can't believe you
- 53:19hired her to play. It's not a small part but it's
- 53:22definitely like I Like, it doesn't do a tongue cousin
- 53:25camera, Thrones, she plays Yara Greyjoy.
- 53:28And she's very like piratey and freedom murder, everybody ready
- 53:32to murder everybody. And then in this, she's very
- 53:35sophisticated and classy and beautiful and I love that she's
- 53:38very versatile. I love that in an actress.
- 53:41I thought she did a great job in this role.
- 53:43Yeah, II love her character. It's I also love she's just like
- 53:47pregnant the whole time, but nobody says anything about it.
- 53:51I actually didn't even notice that until you said that, that's
- 53:53why mr. Alton when one.
- 53:56She's like, oh, I'll dance with you mrs.
- 53:58Weston and she's like, oh, and she like points to her stomach,
- 54:01and he's like, oh yeah, you can't dance.
- 54:04You're preggers. And then she's holding that baby
- 54:06at the end. Well, I noticed the baby but I
- 54:09didn't notice the pregnancy. There was a lot going on,
- 54:12Elizabeth as a costume person. I'm my eyes are going all over
- 54:16the place so I miss little details.
- 54:19All right, all right. All right.
- 54:22Well this was a fun ball there. Three stunning.
- 54:25It was a very fun ball and it in some confusion and tragedy for
- 54:30Harriet. She's just like so flustered,
- 54:33but then she's like, I'm in love and I'm like, oh girl, I mean, I
- 54:37did tear up a little bit when mr.
- 54:40Church fainter. Yeah.
- 54:42Well, mr. Churchill saved Harriet was,
- 54:44very cute. I started to tear up a little
- 54:46bit. I was like, oh that's such an,
- 54:48he's such a nice guy, such a nice man.
- 54:50I love her dad at the end of that scene though.
- 54:53Like Is he alive? I was like, I'm so glad.
- 54:58They got Bill Nighy to play that role.
- 55:00He's such a good actor. It was made for him.
- 55:04Yeah, he's brilliant. Yeah, well now, Harriet's found.
- 55:07Her new love interest. I think we need to take a little
- 55:10break. Maybe let's get on Bumble find
- 55:12ourselves some love interests, okay?
- 55:14Well, whoever that person is they better not have hair put up
- 55:19in a hair bow and I cannot have giant sideburns either.
- 55:24So those are my two requirement if you down for some sideburns,
- 55:27okay? See you after the break.
- 55:52All right, Spencer, are you ready to go?
- 55:54This up, I am ready. Am I ready?
- 55:58I'm ready. You're ready.
- 56:00You're ready? You have no choice.
- 56:02Things are getting interesting in Highbury this is Alton.
- 56:05She's just dominating the social Gatherings.
- 56:08She has no qualms about saying whatever she wants.
- 56:12She's even like to mr. Knightley, like I want to see
- 56:16your house, let me look at your house and I was like, he's on
- 56:20anybody. Look at his house.
- 56:21I don't know what you're trying to do, but It's all shut up.
- 56:25No good luck and he's like, oh no all over my house.
- 56:29Come visit. Everyone's visiting the, a be
- 56:33Emma's kind of tense because Mr. Knightley's been acting weird
- 56:37ever since the ball Harry, it's been acting weird, Emma's
- 56:41concerned. When mr.
- 56:42Knightley, walks off with Harriet's have a little
- 56:45conversation. Even Jane Fairfax is being
- 56:49weird, because she's there with everybody and she's like, I
- 56:52gotta go home, I don't feel good.
- 56:54And I was like you're not gonna walk home alone.
- 56:55She's like I am depressed. Let me leave goodbye.
- 57:00I'm just like, okay thanks don't get any better.
- 57:04They take a little exploration to a local Hill, AKA Box Hill
- 57:10and Emmas kind of bored Frank. Churchill who's, there is also
- 57:15kind of bored. So he decides to come up with a
- 57:19little game to play however, makes Emma reveal her.
- 57:24Crooler side and she upsets poor silly.
- 57:29Very, very sweet. Mrs. Bates, even mrs.
- 57:33Elton is like, oh, girl. No, that's not cool.
- 57:37Everyone, abandons, her, as they're leaving.
- 57:40Mr. Knightley. He's furious with her.
- 57:44He's like, yeah, she's ridiculous.
- 57:46But she's poor and disadvantaged and everyone here looks to you
- 57:51when it comes to how people should be treated.
- 57:54And our little Society here. So you need to do better.
- 57:59She's upset, she automatically realized that she fed up and has
- 58:03to go. Apologize to mrs.
- 58:06Bates. But her day is not getting any
- 58:09easier. She's called to the westons, and
- 58:12the westons are like, so we really know you and Frank were
- 58:17very close because everyone noticed some flirting, it was no
- 58:20secret there like Frank Churchill is it Engaged to Jane
- 58:25Fairfax and now that his aunt has died.
- 58:28They're getting married and Emma's upset but she's like, I'm
- 58:31not upset for myself. I'm upset for my friend Harriet
- 58:34because I thought heard Frank could get together so she's like
- 58:38I gotta go once again break Harriet's heart.
- 58:42So she goes and Harriet's. Like what?
- 58:46I don't care about Frank Churchill.
- 58:48I was talking about how mr. Knightley saved me at the ball
- 58:51from having to look like pathetic.
- 58:54Lonely. I'm in love with mr.
- 58:56Knightley, you said it was possible and she's like, no, I
- 59:00didn't. She's like, yeah, you did.
- 59:03She's like no and mr. Knightley, he's like she's like
- 59:07mr. Knightley is out of your league
- 59:08and she's like whoa wait. Do you like mr.
- 59:10Knightley and she's like, what? I don't know and she's like, he,
- 59:13totally do get out. So, am I guess out?
- 59:17She's sad walking, the grounds between her and mr.
- 59:21Knightley's the state and Mr. Knightley's All In A tizzy
- 59:24because he's heard about Frank and Jane and he's like, Emma was
- 59:28crashing real hard on Frank? Churchill, I gotta go.
- 59:32Make sure she's okay. And she's not because her and
- 59:35her best friend. Harriet just had a fight.
- 59:37So he thinks she's upset about Frank, but she's not, and he's
- 59:41like, it's gonna be fine. It's going to be, okay?
- 59:44He's like, I love you and More Words than I love you because
- 59:48he's a repressed, Regency man. And she's like, what?
- 59:52No? You You like Harriet Harriet
- 59:55thinks you like her, you must like her and he's like, I don't,
- 59:59but I understand the confusion and she's like, well until we
- 1:00:03fix the situation with Harriet. Like I can't marry you but yes,
- 1:00:07I will. She realizes that she really
- 1:00:11screwed over Harriet when she convinced her, not to marry mr.
- 1:00:15Martin and goes to apologize to mr.
- 1:00:19Martin about it and includes the lovely portrait she Made of her
- 1:00:24dear friend in the apology. So, Emma's doing her best to to
- 1:00:30mend Bridges. And men's the bridge with
- 1:00:34Harriet. Harry comes over, she says I'm
- 1:00:36engaged to mr. Martin and my father has finally
- 1:00:40revealed himself to me. He is a Tradesman who makes
- 1:00:43galoshes and she is proud of him, no matter what his social
- 1:00:47standing, and this is for Emma really steps up.
- 1:00:50She's like, if he's coming to visit, please bring him to Field
- 1:00:55because Harriet's her friend, she no longer cares what class
- 1:00:59they're in. So now, all that's left is for
- 1:01:02her and mr. Knightley, to make it official,
- 1:01:05she's worried about leaving her father because he's a nervous
- 1:01:09man who doesn't like change, but mr.
- 1:01:11Knightley, he's a stand-up guy. He's like, your father doesn't
- 1:01:15want you to leave here. You don't feel right leaving him
- 1:01:17here. Okay, looks like I'm moving in
- 1:01:20with you and he does, they Get married and live happily ever
- 1:01:25after. Oh good.
- 1:01:29I wish you sat next to me, when I watched this movie so you
- 1:01:32could have explained everything to me.
- 1:01:37You should record an audio book for Emma, that would be fine.
- 1:01:40Maybe I should just do an Emma podcast.
- 1:01:44So I love this, this scene where they're all playing cards and
- 1:01:48mrs. Elton's being really obnoxious
- 1:01:50because there's just like so much tension between Emma and
- 1:01:53mr. Knight But mr.
- 1:01:55Knightley looks like the best. He's looked this whole time,
- 1:01:58he's got that beautiful blue jacket with, like a blue accent
- 1:02:03underneath it. And it looks so good and I've
- 1:02:07just say this is probably the only scene where Emma looks
- 1:02:11overdone. Like she's trying too hard to
- 1:02:14look. Good almost like mrs.
- 1:02:15Elton's gotten to her a little bit because she's got like the
- 1:02:20Lilac over best. The Ranjit yellow petticoat with
- 1:02:26the white muslin and the little brooch on the Petticoat.
- 1:02:30It's just like a whole look. Yeah, I think it's the yellow
- 1:02:33for me. That makes it feel like now,
- 1:02:35she's like really trying to put everything onto she has.
- 1:02:38Yeah, I agree if you do the blue on mr.
- 1:02:42Knightley. It looks wonderful.
- 1:02:44He looks great and blue, he does.
- 1:02:46I wish he'd worn more blue, but I see, I almost feel like in
- 1:02:50this moment. He's trying harder for Emma.
- 1:02:52The blue is look. Very sophisticated on him.
- 1:02:55He's pulling out all of his nicest clothes right now.
- 1:02:57Yeah, IMA get me a blue coat. Do it?
- 1:03:01It would look good on you. There's just so many costumes
- 1:03:07here. I know.
- 1:03:08So at mr. Knightley is house.
- 1:03:10I love die. Has everyone over and this is a
- 1:03:12good point where you get shot. Yeah, it's a great group, shot
- 1:03:16to see the different styles of everyone because you have mrs.
- 1:03:19Outland, just kind of walking around, wearing everything in
- 1:03:22her wardrobe, again, look, In the most but then you have mrs.
- 1:03:26Bates, and I'm guessing her mother looking looking.
- 1:03:30So old school again, just kind of walking around in the
- 1:03:32background. But then you have Miss Fairfax
- 1:03:36down. She looks absolutely stunning.
- 1:03:38I just love this group shot because it really shows
- 1:03:41everyone's different styles. Yeah, it does.
- 1:03:43I like that. Mr. Knightley, like stands out
- 1:03:46the most with his gray jacket and then like two tone booths,
- 1:03:52he looks great. Also, I'd love in the same scene
- 1:03:57with Emma and Harriet sitting together because at this point,
- 1:03:59they really are starting to feel and look like equals because
- 1:04:02their costumes almost feel like a good compare and contrast
- 1:04:05where it's almost the same costume just in different colors
- 1:04:09and just different parts of are almost different colors to me.
- 1:04:12That's what I see. Yeah, like clearly, Harriet's
- 1:04:15added that like pink bow to one of her dresses to kind of mimic
- 1:04:20the pink and Emma's. It's still a little thrown
- 1:04:23together because Again, she doesn't have Emma's resources
- 1:04:26but it still looks very nice with even like the blue gloves
- 1:04:29and the green little shawl she has.
- 1:04:32Yeah, I wish that her gloves were pink but you know, I think
- 1:04:37it's very cute because I think that she's really kind of found
- 1:04:40her place in society, you know, in these Social Circles, maybe
- 1:04:44she's not like the higher class like Emma is, but at least she's
- 1:04:47like made her Mark in this Society where everyone
- 1:04:50recognizes her and, you know, enjoys her.
- 1:04:52Yeah. I also This scene with her and
- 1:04:55Frank Churchill where he's come late to the party, he's all
- 1:05:00upset and she's like he wants to like, go explore Europe and
- 1:05:04she's he's like there's nothing to do in England.
- 1:05:07She's like oh you don't like wealth and prosperity.
- 1:05:11It's like yeah. England's like at your
- 1:05:14fingertips like get over it. Yeah but I love that.
- 1:05:18They're next to this. It's probably like a Greek or
- 1:05:21Roman statue. As you can see, it kind of
- 1:05:25mimics that empire waist and the statue and you can kind of just
- 1:05:29see the whole influence. Yeah.
- 1:05:32Regency women's style as Emma standing right next to it.
- 1:05:36I'm glad you brought that up to because when you're looking at
- 1:05:38the Statue, you see all the drapes and the garments.
- 1:05:41And it's almost like Emma's wearing the exact same
- 1:05:44silhouette right next to the Statue.
- 1:05:46So it really goes to that. Greek Roman influence you were
- 1:05:49talking about. Elizabeth, are you ready to go
- 1:05:52on the world's most awkward? Picnic.
- 1:05:54Yeah, I am the party to Box Hill.
- 1:05:58Alright. First we have to start with mrs.
- 1:06:00Elton. I mean, look at her, she is
- 1:06:04really wearing everything she has in her wardrobe.
- 1:06:07She looks like the sun again but also like the sun's whirring
- 1:06:10cloves. Yeah.
- 1:06:12See, I mean honestly, this is probably the most toned down.
- 1:06:15She ever gets really. I feel like she's doing the most
- 1:06:19because she's always doing the most but it's like she's got her
- 1:06:23just very Frilly white muslin with a couple of Trims on it,
- 1:06:28it's really like the hat and the shawl, she has.
- 1:06:32I think that makes it look so busy with the parasol to with
- 1:06:36the parasol. Yeah, that's right.
- 1:06:39She's like so crazy by love it. I love as a costume designer.
- 1:06:43Alexander burn. I you know it's like it feels
- 1:06:46very intentional that as she has a lot to say with mrs.
- 1:06:49Elton's costume, you know that she is a bit much and she's
- 1:06:52really inserting herself. Open to every conversation and
- 1:06:55to all these Social Circles, and she's doing the most to get
- 1:06:58where she's at. And her costume says all of
- 1:07:01that. So it says, all of that.
- 1:07:05I like Emma again. She's gone back to being her
- 1:07:07simple classy self in this scene.
- 1:07:10Even though she is her least classy.
- 1:07:12She was Behavior wise. She was so mean to miss Bates.
- 1:07:16Like, I know I've been saying this entire podcast how annoying
- 1:07:19this Bates was talking and talking and talking but when
- 1:07:23Emma Snaps at Miss Bates, I was like, hey, you don't talk to her
- 1:07:26like that, like that's like she's my friend.
- 1:07:29I get to say that because me and Miss Bates, our friends.
- 1:07:32You don't get to talk to her like that.
- 1:07:34You need to talk to her like that, and I even love mr.
- 1:07:36Knightley, like, she's clearly like upset by what happens, but
- 1:07:41she's not going to say anything. And he's like she is older than
- 1:07:43you. She is disadvantaged in life
- 1:07:46compared to you. She is a sweet person.
- 1:07:49Don't make fun of her. Yeah, it's like when you're
- 1:07:52playing video games with, One, and then they lose, and they get
- 1:07:55up and start yelling at you or, you know, talking mad trash and
- 1:07:59you're just like, okay, sit down.
- 1:08:02You're having a bit of a moment right now?
- 1:08:04I felt like, yeah, she's just taking all of her frustration
- 1:08:06now on mrs. Bates.
- 1:08:08And I was just so upset, and it's so mean like, Frank.
- 1:08:11Churchill also like coax her into doing it.
- 1:08:14And it's like, what, why are you being a jackass kids?
- 1:08:18These days. I know.
- 1:08:20I do love her apology outfit though.
- 1:08:23I do I do too, but I love that. She went to her very drab, dark
- 1:08:28apartment. Again, mrs.
- 1:08:29Bates. It's just feels so sad.
- 1:08:32You would think that. Mrs. Bates is dying or
- 1:08:34something? I know it's so sad.
- 1:08:37She looks lovely though. And that like polka-dotted
- 1:08:41muslin, which the little lilac. Yeah, so many costumes.
- 1:08:47Not enough time. However, one of my favorite
- 1:08:50costumes of her is coming up. She's finds that when Finds out
- 1:08:54that Frank Churchill is getting married to Jane and she's
- 1:08:58wearing that white muslin with the green trim, and yellow, and
- 1:09:02green embroidery, with the just like little green dress, like
- 1:09:07Drop necklace. It's so pretty, it's so
- 1:09:10beautiful. I love the green on her.
- 1:09:12I love that at her waist. It's almost like a green and
- 1:09:15yellow kind of gradient. It's very beautiful.
- 1:09:17Yeah. And you know with like the
- 1:09:19backdrop of the trees behind her.
- 1:09:22I feel like in this scene like Emma's like growing into like a
- 1:09:25fully realized woman who she kind of.
- 1:09:28She understands all the mistake she's made and now she realized
- 1:09:32all the corrections she has to make.
- 1:09:34He finally knows what she wants out of her life.
- 1:09:36Yeah. Actually, this is just a big
- 1:09:38scene all about growth. So I love that she's wearing a
- 1:09:40green because to me it kind of says a lot about nature and
- 1:09:43growth and I think that's what the costume design was trying to
- 1:09:47say. And I love when she's talking to
- 1:09:49Harriet because Harriet's wearing a muslin with a yellow
- 1:09:54Petticoat underneath it and it kind of picks up the yellow and
- 1:09:57Emmas and it's like you can see how much Emma really has
- 1:10:01influenced her over the past year.
- 1:10:03Yeah, it's almost like Emma's having a conversation with with
- 1:10:06Harriet but it's also a conversation.
- 1:10:08She's having with their self because Harry it's wearing
- 1:10:11almost the same exact costume. That Emily was wearing scenes
- 1:10:14back. So she's really just kind of
- 1:10:16discovering things about herself at the same time.
- 1:10:19Yeah, I love these couple of costumes that you brought up.
- 1:10:22She's discovering everything. She's done wrong.
- 1:10:24That she loves mr. Knightley and mr.
- 1:10:26Knightley loves her. Mmm.
- 1:10:28But she's got a dress down for a second when she goes to
- 1:10:31apologize to mr. Martin.
- 1:10:34I was like, she really dressed down right here.
- 1:10:38Yes. She really was like, oh, I'm
- 1:10:39going to a farm. I need to like, really dress up
- 1:10:42like a farmer for a quick second.
- 1:10:44Yeah, that's so nice. Mr. Martin seems like a nice
- 1:10:49guy, you know, once is this our first time seeing him, no, you
- 1:10:53see. Him a couple times.
- 1:10:54He doesn't have a lot of lines, but you see him quite a few
- 1:10:57times. Alright, so when we see mr.
- 1:10:59Martin now and he like actually talks like, oh, he's actually a
- 1:11:03nice guy. I was I was mad at Emma all over
- 1:11:05again. I can't believe you made her say
- 1:11:08no to this nice man. Emma.
- 1:11:10Yeah. Smack to the wrist.
- 1:11:12How dare you? And it's like back then being a
- 1:11:15illegitimate child, especially as a woman.
- 1:11:18Like she was lucky that. Anybody wanted to marry her
- 1:11:22literally We're lucky that she wasn't living in that like
- 1:11:26boarding house for rest of her life with no man.
- 1:11:28So, yeah, she's lucky she was on on the streets.
- 1:11:31Honestly. Okay.
- 1:11:34We have to talk about the scene at Emma's house with her father.
- 1:11:39Once again, looking like a real Couch, Potato.
- 1:11:41You. And I talked about this during
- 1:11:43one of the breaks, but I love mr.
- 1:11:45Woodhouse and his obsession with like, trying to stay warm and
- 1:11:49all these screens he builds around, but I love this.
- 1:11:53Seen because he's not doing it to stay warm.
- 1:11:57He's doing it to give the two of them privacy without him leaving
- 1:12:00the room, but I mean, yeah. So is he doing this on purpose?
- 1:12:04Because he knows her hair in a moment.
- 1:12:06Or is he doing this? Because he's trying to protect
- 1:12:07them from whatever sickness he's about to get know.
- 1:12:11He's doing this to give them privacy because he knows they're
- 1:12:14having a moment. I didn't catch that.
- 1:12:17I thought he was like stay away from the cold and the germs
- 1:12:20hide. Yeah.
- 1:12:21I mean that's been him this entire time.
- 1:12:23Time but like he wants to give them privacy but he really can't
- 1:12:28leave the room now that he knows something's up between the two
- 1:12:32of them. He's so funny.
- 1:12:35He's so funny. Also, can we take a moment to
- 1:12:37talk about all the servants in this movie?
- 1:12:40I know you forget they're there but you know, servants are like,
- 1:12:43oh God, what's going on now? This servants are so funny in
- 1:12:47this and I they're treated like they don't even exist.
- 1:12:51I love when mr. Knightley goes.
- 1:12:53Home falls on the floor. Just in the background.
- 1:12:56You see a servant walk through the door.
- 1:12:59Look at him. Turn around mr.
- 1:13:06Woodhouse when they the first time they have mrs.
- 1:13:10Elton over 40 and mr. Woodhouse is just staring at her
- 1:13:14and the servant just like takes his teacup because he's like,
- 1:13:18you can't drop it and then mr. Woodhouse.
- 1:13:21He's like I'll move that screen. He's like, no, no.
- 1:13:23That screen Niecy. Like at one point I think when
- 1:13:26Emma and mr. Knightley start actually, you
- 1:13:29know, have their like first kiss moment and that servants.
- 1:13:32Kind of look at each other like Oh Brother, the servants in this
- 1:13:37are great. You have to watch the movie.
- 1:13:39Once they're just watch it and take it in a second time to
- 1:13:42figure out what's going on. Like, what's going on?
- 1:13:46A third time to figure out what the servants are doing in the
- 1:13:49background. I think I might, I still haven't
- 1:13:52rented for another 24 hours. Hours.
- 1:13:54So I might actually well Lisbeth you and I love a good wedding.
- 1:13:58So let's wrap this up with Emma's.
- 1:14:01Beautiful wedding. Everyone is looking their best.
- 1:14:05All the ladies from The Boarding House are there Harry.
- 1:14:08It's there at the Bates are there her sister and
- 1:14:12brother-in-law are there. I was thought it was so funny
- 1:14:15that he was crying. I'm glad that mr.
- 1:14:19Woodhouse decided to put on something that's not his like
- 1:14:22Couch Potato coat. Blending in with the furniture,
- 1:14:25right? Emma was clearly like you are
- 1:14:29wearing this, this and this to my wedding.
- 1:14:31Thank you. Yeah.
- 1:14:32Don't worry, you could put on your couch potato coat as soon
- 1:14:35as you leave the wedding. It's so good.
- 1:14:40Like she just looks so simple. You hardly get to see what she's
- 1:14:44wearing in this scene and it's so simple.
- 1:14:47She just has that beautiful veil.
- 1:14:50He's wearing that fantastic, blue coat again.
- 1:14:53And it's like, They're just, you know, they're just going to go
- 1:14:55and live a very happy life together.
- 1:14:57Yeah. I feel like it's very simple and
- 1:15:00since that will one I'm glad that mr.
- 1:15:02Knightley took your advice and decide to wear blue for his
- 1:15:05wedding. So Props to you Elizabeth and
- 1:15:08also I do feel like, Emma's wedding dress is very simple.
- 1:15:12But in a sense that she's wearing a veil in the flowers, I
- 1:15:14think that in this moment they're really pulling attention
- 1:15:17to her face and just you know, like actually just kind of
- 1:15:20document all of her emotions that she's getting married and
- 1:15:23same with him. To Nightly, you know, we've seen
- 1:15:25all of their costumes, they don't have a lot of different
- 1:15:27costumes. So we're really pulling
- 1:15:28attraction to the face right now and it just really was a
- 1:15:32beautiful scene but there's just a little notes like the flower
- 1:15:35embroidery and the veil, I love that flower embroidery
- 1:15:38especially because like they placed it perfectly like I never
- 1:15:41really liked hides any of her face.
- 1:15:45Yeah. At one point, it almost looks
- 1:15:46like the embroideries, like, right over her hair like actual
- 1:15:49flower, which she does have actual Flowers in her hair, but
- 1:15:53them Brody just looks like a part of her hair.
- 1:15:55It's really beautiful. It's so good.
- 1:15:57What? A beautiful wedding I know when
- 1:16:00you and I get married one day, we're going to have like high
- 1:16:02expectations for whatever it is, after all these, I know Osteen
- 1:16:05podcast weddings we've done now. I know I mean that might be our
- 1:16:10first one. Have we done any others, how we
- 1:16:12just covered our first wedding? It feels like we talked about
- 1:16:15weddings a lot but maybe not, maybe that's just us either way.
- 1:16:21Juan division had a wedding dress.
- 1:16:23There you go. I knew, can I have been our
- 1:16:25first and clueless. That's right.
- 1:16:27Okay, okay, okay. That is the end of Emma.
- 1:16:31We, that's the end of them. We made it Elizabeth.
- 1:16:36Thank you so much for taking us through that.
- 1:16:39I really have to depend on you this week because I was still
- 1:16:42trying to understand what happened.
- 1:16:43I know. And I have a deeper appreciation
- 1:16:46for Emma, and I'm going to go back and watch it again.
- 1:16:50I kind of want to read the book to the book is great.
- 1:16:52It's been a while since Since I read the book, like I said,
- 1:16:55there's a great film adaptation with Gwyneth Paltrow, there's a
- 1:17:00miniseries from 2009. That's very good.
- 1:17:03You got lots of options and just one last note on a costume
- 1:17:07design of Emma Alexandra, burn stunning, beautiful.
- 1:17:11Loved it so much. You know, she was nominated for
- 1:17:14an Oscar for this. And now that I've seen this
- 1:17:16movie, I completely understand why she was nominated period
- 1:17:21costume. Especially Regency costume is
- 1:17:23not Easy. It's very complex a lot of
- 1:17:25history and I think she nailed it you know I loved the use of
- 1:17:29color. I love the use of the working
- 1:17:32outfit costume like you were talking about and I just really
- 1:17:36feel like it's a really beautiful put together picture
- 1:17:39and I'm really glad we talked about this movie.
- 1:17:42It really was if you want to know more, there are like a
- 1:17:46million and two articles out there.
- 1:17:48Like there are a lot, I did a article around the Oscar There's
