Northanger Abbey

I have always liked movies adapted from famous books, maybe I am fascinated by that era. I like their elegant conversation, pretentious expressions, various group dances and their lace-covered skirts, large castles and walls covered with ivy. No way, I'm so superficial.
I haven't read the original work this time, so I can't compare it. But I still feel that the director's expressiveness is a little bit worse, and there is no main line of the story.
The heroine is very suitable, except for one, her face looks like yy every time she fantasizes, she really doesn't like it.
When he returned from riding a horse, mud was splashed on Cathy's face. Henly saw it, and couldn't help but want to wipe the awkward movement, suddenly felt very familiar, huh, once beautiful.

Northanger Abbey quotes

  • Mrs. Allen: There! Did you ever see anything prettier, Mr Allen?

    Mr. Allen: Other than yourself, do you mean, my dear?

    Mrs. Allen: Oh, fine, Mr Allen! But Catherine...

    Mr. Allen: Ah, she looks just as she should! Now... might we make our way, do you think? I entertain high hopes of our arriving at the rooms by midnight.

    Mrs. Allen: How he teases us, Catherine! Midnight, indeed!

  • [Riding in the curricle, Henry and Catherine see the first view of Northanger Abbey]

    Henry Tilney: There.

    Catherine Morland: It's exactly as I imagined. It's just like what we read about.

    Henry Tilney: Are you prepared to encounter all of its horrors?

    Catherine Morland: Horrors? Is Northanger haunted, then?

    Henry Tilney: That's just the least of it. Dungeons, and sliding panels; skeletons; strange, unearthly cries in the night that pierce your very soul!

    Catherine Morland: [sardonically] Any vampires? Don't say vampires. I could bear anything, but not vampires.

    Henry Tilney: [laughing] Miss Morland, I believe you are teasing me now.

    [seriously]

    Henry Tilney: I have to say, there is a kind of vampirism. No, let's just say that all houses have their secrets, and Northanger is no exception.
