becoming jane

our cable is not working at the moment..since yesterday afternoon, since Ive been working at home for the last 2 days..my companion after caveman have gone to bed its the telly. So this morning, i was dead bored. One rig had a problem and was fixing some stuff hence..no drilling and the other was running in hole..which means...i have nothing to monitor...woohoo..i walked over to our dvd rack and found two dvd...Good Luck Chuck and Becoming Jane.

to my disappointment Good Luck Chuck was not working arghhhh...it started off ok but got stuck in the middle...so i had to switch to Becoming Jane. I loved movie adaptations from Jane Austen books, sadly..i owned 2 books written by her..but never read them..but i have watched most of the movies that was adapted from her books..Sense and Sensibility, Emma, Pride and Prejudice and now Becoming Jane..its not from one of her novel..but it was a story about her..and her love, the love that she never married..i always end up crying in a Jane Austen movie, the settings..the lines...and the story ahh soo romantic..all the men that cast for her movies as just dead romantic...come on who is not heads over heels with Mr Darcy...sigh..makes me wonder are all men of her time are like this...could we still find a Mr Darcy in our generation??? don't know....maybe they are..but in different forms..modernize some what. I found a post about Mr Darcy...and the Mr Darcy in our time...have a read....its very interesting and quite true.

In becoming jane..her BF was Tom Lefroy...not as strong as Mr Darcy..but very the sweetheart.

Best quotes:-

"What value will there ever be in life, if we are not together? – Tom Lefroy
" You must know how i feel, I'm yours heart and soul " - Tom Lefroy....

a classic....chick flick..:D
