Movies that bring us back into the world of English countrysides and gentry with their intrigues and superficial splendor are hard to follow for more than an hour when no major action like murder, war etc are happening. 'Becoming Jane' accomplishes fascination of the audience (Gabriele, the cat 'Sparkle' and myself) by an excellent cast and a story that not only was typical and important for its time but also challenges peoples integrity and emotions. The story is simple and circles around the problem of finding partners for marriage that combine affection and economical reason. Anne Hathaway plays the role of Jane Austin in a fully believable and entertaining way. Her outstanding beauty that apparently goes beyond the historical Jane, helps through the stages of love, betrayal and resolve with the family of the poor daughter of a clergyman keeping its world together. It is a movie to enjoy the beauty of the pictures but also the intelligence of the dialogs and the significance of the problem and its resolution. It does not need many shots fired (only one in this movie as an accident without consequences) or racing vehicles to make a good and entertaining movie.
