Mansfield Park

I adore gleaning inspiration from films.

Since there was a great response to the last post like this, I've decided to make it a regular ordeal.

Last night I watched Mansfield Park, which is set in nineteenth century England. I found loads of fun bits-let me share them with you:

I adore the decorations in the father's study-so many great antlers.

Writing with a quill pen might make my writing seem more romantic.

 

Must do more apple picking in the rain, looks fun!

Parties with candles, fancy dresses and friends are always good.

Watching the ships come in will never bore me.

Reading tales with sisters is a good way to spend an afternoon.

Everyone could use more fireworks and serenading in their life...

Fog is gorgeous.

Such a lovely movie. Have you seen Bright Star, the new period movie about the poet John Keats and his love affair with a sewing whiz? She wears the most intricate things, changes every scene. And the scenery's gorgeous, they are always in this flower-filled field.

This was such an excellent film, and I really enjoyed Patricia Rozema's direction. She should have gotten more high-profile opportunities to direct after this film.

This is one of my all-time favorite films. I know it doesn't follow the book very closely but I adore it!
