Emma is a 1996 British-American period comedy film based on the 1815 novel of the same name by Jane Austen. Written and directed by Douglas McGrath, and produced by Patrick Cassavetti and Steven Haft, the film stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Alan Cumming, Toni Collette, Ewan McGregor, and Jeremy Northam.

Contents

The film follows a young 19th-century English woman named Emma Woodhouse who, while matchmaking for friends and neighbours, nearly misses her chance at love.

The film was first released on 7 June 1996 on the Seattle International Film Festival, and then was theatrically released on 2 August 1996 by Miramax Films in the United States, and on 13 September 1996 in the United Kingdom. It received positive reviews from critics and grossed $37.3 million worldwide at the box office.

Plot

In early 19th-century England, Emma Woodhouse is a congenial yet naïve young woman. After her governess, Miss Taylor, marries Mr. Weston, Emma proudly takes credit for bringing the couple together and now considers herself a matchmaker within her small community. Her father and an old family friend, George Knightley, whose brother is married to Emma's sister, dispute her claim and discourage any further matchmaking attempts. Ignoring their warnings, she schemes to match Mr. Elton, the village clergyman, with her new friend, Harriet Smith, a rather unsophisticated young woman on the verges of society.

Robert Martin, a respectable local farmer, proposes to Harriet, who is inclined to accept, but Emma, believing Harriet can have better prospects, urges her to refuse him. Meanwhile, Mr. Elton has shown a desire for Emma by excessively admiring her watercolour portrait of Harriet, and otherwise engaging with her to secure favour. She mistakenly believes he favours Harriet. However, when Mr. Elton fervently declares his love for her, she strongly rejects him. Soon after, he marries a vain socialite who competes with Emma for status within the community.

Over the next few months, various gatherings show who loves whom among Emma's friends. Emma is briefly attracted to the charming Frank Churchill, Mr Weston's son, who is visiting from London, though Emma tries matching him with Harriet. However, Frank is secretly engaged to Jane Fairfax. His aunt, who later dies, would have disapproved of the match and disinherited Frank. He feigned interest in Emma as a deflection. Harriet states she has no interest in Frank, preferring Mr Knightley, who kindly danced with her at a ball after Mr Elton snubbed her. Meanwhile, Mr Knightley secretly falls in love with Emma.

During a country picnic, Emma ridicules the impoverished Miss Bates, deeply hurting her. After Mr Knightley angrily scolds her, Emma works to make amends with Miss Bates. While Mr Knightley is away visiting his brother, Emma frequently thinks about him. She does not realise she loves him until Harriet expresses her feelings for him. When Mr Knightley returns, he and Emma meet and have a conversation that begins awkwardly but ends with him proposing and her gladly accepting. Their engagement upsets Harriet, who avoids Emma, but returns a few weeks later, happily engaged to Mr Martin, whom she always loved. The film ends with Emma and Mr Knightley's wedding.

Cast

Production

Conception and adaptation

Douglas McGrath "fell in love" with Jane Austen's 1815 novel Emma , while he was an undergraduate at Princeton University. He believed the book would make a great film, but it was not until a decade later that he was given a chance to work on the idea. [4] After receiving an Academy Award nomination in 1995 for his work on Bullets over Broadway , McGrath decided to make the most of the moment and took his script idea for a film adaptation of Emma to Miramax Films. [4] McGrath had initially wanted to write a modern version of the novel, set on the Upper East Side of New York City. Miramax's co-chairman, Harvey Weinstein, liked the idea of a contemporary take on the novel. [4] McGrath was unaware that Amy Heckerling's Clueless was already in production until plans for Emma were well underway. [4]

Casting

McGrath decided to bring in American actress Gwyneth Paltrow to audition for Emma Woodhouse, after a suggestion from his agent and after seeing her performance in Flesh and Bone . [5] Of his decision to bring Paltrow in for the part, McGrath revealed "The thing that actually sold me on her playing a young English girl was that she did a perfect Texas accent. I know that wouldn't recommend her to most people. I grew up in Texas, and I have never heard an actor or actress not from Texas sound remotely like a real Texan. I knew she had theater training, so she could carry herself. We had many actresses, big and small, who wanted to play this part. The minute she started the read-through, the very first line, I thought, 'Everything is going to be fine; she's going to be brilliant.'" [5] Following the read-through, the co-chairman of Miramax, Harvey Weinstein, decided to give Emma the green-light. However, he wanted Paltrow to appear in The Pallbearer first, before going ahead and allowing the film to be made. [5] While she recovered from wisdom-tooth surgery, Paltrow had a month to herself to do her own research for the part. [6] She also studied horsemanship, dancing, singing, archery and the "highly stylized" manners and dialect during a three-week rehearsal period. [6]

Jeremy Northam revealed that when he first tried to read Emma, he did not get very far and was not a fan. [7] When he read the script for the film, he was initially considered for another role, but he wanted to play George Knightley. [7] He stated "When I met the director, we got on very well and we talked about everything except the film. At the end of it, he said he thought Knightley was the part for me, so I didn't have to bring up the issue at all." [7] Northam added that Knightley's faith in Emma becoming a better person was one of the reasons he loved the character. [7] Australian actress Toni Collette was cast as Harriet Smith. [8] Collette also struggled to get into the Austen books when she was younger, but after reading Emma, which she deemed "warm and witty and clever", she began to appreciate them more. [8] Collette had to gain weight to portray "the Rubenesque Harriet" and she explained "I think it's important for people to look real in films. There's a tendency to go Barbie doll and I don't agree with that at all." [8]

Ewan McGregor was cast as Frank Churchill. He told Adam Higginbotham from The Guardian that he chose to star in Emma because he thought it would be something different from his previous role in Trainspotting . [9] McGregor later regretted appearing in the film, saying "My decision-making was wrong. It's the only time I've done that. And I learnt from it, you know. So I'm glad of that – because it was early on and I learnt my lesson. It's a good film, Emma, but I'm just... not very good in it. I'm not helped because I'm also wearing the world's worst wig. It's quite a laugh, checking that wig out." [9] Real-life mother and daughter, Phyllida Law and Sophie Thompson, portrayed Mrs and Miss Bates. [10] Thompson revealed that it was a coincidence that she and her mother were cast alongside each other, as the casting director had their names on separate lists. [10] McGrath initially believed Thompson to be too young to play Miss Bates, but he changed his mind after seeing her wearing glasses with her hair down. [10]

Alan Cumming appeared as Reverend Philip Elton, who falls in love with Emma. [11] Cumming wrote on his official website that the friendship that developed between himself and McGrath was one of the most memorable things about his time working on the film. [12] He went on to state that the worst thing about the shoot was his hair, which had been lightened and curled for the character. [12] Juliet Stevenson portrayed the "ghastly" Mrs Elton, while Polly Walker and Greta Scacchi starred as Jane Fairfax and Anne Taylor respectively. [13] [14] [15] Other cast members included Edward Woodall as Robert Martin, James Cosmo as Mr Weston and Denys Hawthorne as Mr Woodhouse, in one of his last film appearances. [16] [17]

Costume design

British costume designer Ruth Myers created and designed the clothing for the film. [18] She wanted to mirror the lightness of the script within the costumes and give "a spark of color and life" to the early 19th century setting. [19] During her research, Myers noted a similarity between the fashions after the Napoleonic Wars and the 1920s, saying that they had "the same sort of flapperish quality". [19] The designer explained "The moment I set to research it, more and more it kept striking me what the similarities were between the two periods. It was a period of freedom of costume for women, and it was a period of constant diversions for the upper classes–picnics, dinners, balls, dances. What I wanted to do was make it look like the watercolors of the period, which are very bright and very clear, with very specific colors." [19]

Myers went on to reveal that she did not want the costumes to have a "heavy English look" and instead she wanted "to get the freedom of bodies that you see in all the drawings, the form of the body underneath, the swell of the breasts." [19] Myers told Barbara De Witt from the Los Angeles Daily News that using pastel-coloured clothing to get the watercolour effect was one of her major challenges during the production. [18] The designer was later criticised for being inaccurate, but she stated that she did not want the costumes to look old or sepia. [19] Myers only had five weeks in which to create 150 costumes for the production, and she was constantly working on the set. [18]

Emma's wedding dress was made from silk crepe and embroidered with a small sprig pattern, while the sleeves and the train were made from embroidered net. [20] Of the dress, Myers stated "The inspiration for Emma's wedding dress began with a small amount of exquisite vintage lace that became the overlay. I wanted a look that would work not only for the period but also one that would compliment[ sic ] Gwyneth Paltrow's youth, swan neck, and incredible beauty. I was also hoping to evoke happiness and the English countryside; the sun did shine on the day we shot the scene!" [20]

Music

The musical score of the film was written by British composer Rachel Portman. It was released on 29 July 1996 by Hollywood Records. [21] On 24 March 1997, Portman became the first woman to win the Academy Award for Best Original Score. [22] The album contains 18 tracks; the first track is "Main Titles", and the final track is "End Titles". [21]

Comparisons with the novel

Although in general staying close to the plot of the book, the screenplay by Douglas McGrath enlivens the banter between the staid Mr Knightley and the vivacious Emma, making the basis of their attraction more apparent.

Austen's original novel deals with Emma's false sense of class superiority, for which she is eventually chastised. In an essay from Jane Austen in Hollywood, Nora Nachumi writes that, due partly to Paltrow's star status, Emma appears less humbled by the end of this film than she does in the novel. [23]

Reception

Critical response

The film has received generally positive reviews from critics. Rotten Tomatoes gives the film an approval rating of 84% based on reviews from 57 critics, with a rating average of 7.2/10. The consensus writes: "Emma marks an auspicious debut for writer-director Douglas McGrath, making the most of its Jane Austen source material – and a charming performance from Gwyneth Paltrow." [24] Metacritic gives the film a rating of 66 out of 100 based on reviews from 23 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews". [25]

Ken Eisner, writing for Variety , proclaimed "Gwyneth Paltrow shines brightly as Jane Austen's most endearing character, the disastrously self-assured matchmaker Emma Woodhouse. A fine cast, speedy pacing and playful direction make this a solid contender for the Austen sweepstakes." [2]

Box office

The film grossed $22.2 million in the United States and Canada and $37.3 million worldwide. [26] [3]
