    As a long time English Country dancer, I am amazed at how perfectly the figures of this dance are performed (at least at the beginning, before the actors, for reasons of the story line, stop doing the actual dance). The "corners cross" move at 1:07 to 1:11 could not have been more beautifully executed! My hat is off to the person(s) who provided the technical dance directions for this scene.

    @AA-mv9fe 5 років тому +61

    I noticed something idk if it's intentional or not , at the beginning of the dance the camera doesn't really focus on jane alone it's viewing her as a part of a whole , you almost feel she's drowning between them or as if she's invisible *reflecting her own feelings* , but when tom appears the camera almost dedicates itself to them , no other dancers interrupting the view or viewed as much as before .. it's like the whole world disappeared and only them are left . Kinda like what happened with Elizabeth and Mr darcy in the 2005 version but in here it's done subtly using the camera and the music to give this feeling of isolation ❤️

    Her life was very sad. She was always facing something...as most of us our. It was very hard on women to marry someone you really loved, so much politics. When she finally had success on her own and a home...she only lived a few years more. I think she knew she couldn't marry who she wanted, so she made sure her characters did. Jane Austin wrote wonderful novels. ❤

    I'm almost moved to tears. :) Dancing that's dignified, elegant, stately, fun, human, and flirtatious - all at the same time. No "in your face" shaking of body parts by self absorbed partners required, thank you very much. For all of our modern freedoms (and there are many good ones) - we have given up and left behind much that was beautiful - and lovely - for that which is crass. The actual counterparts of those seen in this film had small images of their loved ones concealed in lockets or under pocket watch covers, or other small tokens to remember them by. Today, the norm for some is to record and watch themselves and their loved ones - having sex. Weird.

    I disagree with people saying this is _far_ too slow. In the Purcell Playford Dances, he has this a _little_ faster but notes it as "Elegant". We just played this in my dining room, family home for Thanksgiving. Me on tenor recorder, eldest daughter on clarinet, youngest son on cello, and wife on guitar. We played a tiny bit faster but not much. I showed this video to the family and number one son (17, cello) said, c'mon, we totally owned these guys. They wouldn't let me record, though.

I did mostly scottish country dances, therefore, I'd take your words as the most acuratte on this particular subject.

    Yeap: by royal decree, women could not receive any inheritance, and if monetary perception was little, hardly received marriage proposals. It is for them that men and women who sought to marry economically could increase their annual income, it is also why we both wanted male offspring. Austen and Leffroy were poor and therefore could not marry.Sadly, that was a fate shared by many women
