Becoming Jane Movie Review by Star757


Buy the Movie Poster for Becoming Jane

This movie is a must for anyone who loves Jane Austen. Set in England in 1795 it follows 20 year old Jane as she longs to become a writer and fall in love. Her family wishes her to marry a man with wealth, but when she meets Tom Lefroy she falls in love. With neither of them having money, how can they ever marry? I really enjoyed this movie. It is very interesting because you see some of the things in her life that appear in her novels. Like being prejudiced and whether to choose love or money. Also, throughout the movie you see her starting to write Pride and Prejudice. It parallels her real life somewhat. In the movie she says her characters will face some struggles, but in the end they will find true happiness, can it be the same for her? Anne Hathaway does a great job as Jane, and Thomas McAvoy plays Tom. I would recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys Jane Austen or novels/movies set in that time.
