I am a hard Jane fan and have read about her life also. Have the books the movies even the theater versions. This film was so boring to me I almost wanted to fast forward thru just to see how they would end it. It had so many places where you saw all of her other books and movies in it that it made it seem like you were watching pieces of pride and prejudice, sense and sensibility and at times persuasion and then even mansfield park. It was like they were putting these quirks in for her to me as pieces of her novel heroines or something. I mean change them up a little will you. I was not amused. Then at the end to try and give us a piece of joy by that ridiculous daughter scene. It was as if nothing was accomplished upon. You never really feel any passion from them. If their love was so genuine why did they not portray it more vividly so you could at least feel the lose of it in the end. Or maybe make her seem more smart and not just maybe, just maybe a little romantic. I saw a thrown up passion almost at the end just a hint of it and then it ended. I saw no real even passion for writing. Only thing that I saw was she had different men that wanted her but she ended up with none and died a spinster just like her real life but I am sure she had to feel more love and passion than what they offer here. I really feel this could have been better. I would have liked for her to be more forthcoming in something if not writing then at least in love. There was no "ump" to this portrayal. I was very disappointed.
