I have to admit, Gwyneth Paltrow played the book's lithe, mellow, and feisty, noble lady tune. It's a pity that the other actors have chosen the wrong person, which seems to be out of proportion and loses the interest between the characters in Austen's novel. Harriet's casting was particularly bad, with the actresses trying so hard to play dumb that it was a headache.
The casual innuendo in the original book degenerates into self-righteous cleverness in the movie, and the natural humor in the original book looks funny and cartoony in the movie. But Paltrow is indeed the Emma in my mind, so let's give this film a pass.

    I don't think I understand the plot very well. Compared with Emma's self-righteousness, I like her female friend more. Although she is not stupid, she always knows that what she wants is happiness in life, but Emma only If you want the so-called career success, love may be just a sideline. In fact, Emma has always lived for others, and she doesn't know what she wants, just living under the mask of a strong woman.
