it is a truth universally acknowledged that you shouldn't quote "Pride and Prejudice" under an "Emma" video _________________ My Instagram: bit.ly/2Qo9rrI My nudes: bit.ly/2KypPpn My merch: bit.ly/2CCq5jE
@꧁Chara ꧂ 🌖🐘🐌🐌,oh gosh.I gotta go.Did you know of the Melbourne shuffle dance craze.Well ,dancing isn'too crazy.I missed the Emma film.I recently saw.Seriously I have to motion sickness off the internet.Had a friend put lamp shade on my head at a prison concert.Oh,gosh.Some friends go on and on.Charge phone,need it to go to separate text number so I don't keep everyone up or interupt sleep patterns.Thank you ladies and gentlemen.
I can vouch (unfortunately) that the tiny rag curls are indeed possible. My hair takes suggestion really well, so it's certainly not typical, but it's easy on certain hair types
@- untcuchable.mp4 I didn't like the story nor the costumes, but that is beside the point. Bridgerton is not meant to be accurate at all, so it doesn't really count as period drama, because honestly it could had happened in many other periods in history
I agree with just about everything - but the men's collars were so high as to be laughably distracting!! They could barely turn their heads to the side and almost couldn't see over them! There are fashion plates and portraits of the dandiest of London dandies wearing their collars that high, but a country squire and vicar (Messrs Knightley and Elton, respectively) would not, I think, be quite so foppish. Mr. Churchill, maybe, although even he was mostly living a fairly retired life (not by choice) with his aunt.
My seamstress who created the Elizabeth I costume for my daughter to wear while portraying the monarch made a clone of the Emma pink jacket. It worked beautifully. Kristen, of Firetail Design, even used natural methods to dye the fabric in that gorgeous pink color!
There is a famous portrait of First Lady Dolley Madison (wife of President James Madison) by the painter Bass Otis which features an rather queer looking collar of the sort we saw on Emma which you described, delightfully, as a "stempunk neck corset." I would post it here but BRdesk won't let me.
My partner and I have been trying to work out: Was Emma's blue and green ombre ribbon historically accurate? I say it's possible to be done, of course, but was it the fashion? :O I am looking around and cannot find ombre ribbon for a fashion plate anywhere!
Could someone explain to me what does "police" mean? Idk if i wrote it correctly. I've heard that before and I know it's something about dress but when i google it, I see an actual 19th century police officers lol
Would you be so kind to share with me the name of the music playing in the background? Also, I just watched the movie and loved it, but those curls looked like they were made following a "heatless curls with straws" tutorial on tiktok. Other than that, I would die to wear each and every costume worn by Anya Taylor-Joy
I feel like this is a good place to ask this question: Was Emma (2020) supposed to have a female narrator the whole way through the film, or did we just have it on the wrong setting on our TV? I watched it with my sister-in-law and mother-in-law and they said it was supposed to be that way...
Best, BEST part of the film - warming up in front of the fire. I literally squeed at the cinema at that point. The overclothes were pretty damn good too but authentic knickers? The best.
The looser Regency era silhouettes are my favourite, I love how high the waistline was, the skirts looked so free flowing, and of course leg length is exaggerated 🤣
The only part of that movie’s costumes that bugged me was that one scene where Emma is at the ball where she realizes she is in love with Knightly and she isn’t wearing gloves, I understand it is to build the romance but it has always bugged me.
I appreciated the acknowledgement that modern views are valid (sometimes.) That is, we aren't WRONG to think having all the accessories looks silly, because we're allowed to be influenced by the fashion of our time, just like historical people were influenced by the fashion of THEIR time. You shouldn't modernize your movie when it doesn't need it, but you're allowed to not like something "out of date" on a personal level.
I would be so interested to see what you think of the movie Bright Star. The main character is supposed to be a fashion enthusiast so I wonder if the movie did try to get it right or not.
I think I'm going to show it to my students. Not only because of your historical accuracy talk, but also 'cause you focused on what makes the story and the characters believable in any given period. Pozdrawiam serdecznie!
i appreciate they budgeted enough money for hairpins so that all of the ladies old enough to wear their hair up, did. i think sone of the younger girls at Miss Goddard school had their hair down or braided but neither Emma nor Harriet had loose hair out in public. a major win.
I didn't like the movie much, though you and Ms. Banner have made me appreciate the clothing. However, I HATE Emma's stiff curls. They look like a yellow spring and take me out of the scene every time. I guess I'm still in love with Jeremy Northam's Mr. Bingley... But I can't understand how the dressmaking work was allowed to be undone by that really unnatural looking hairdo. It looks ugly and stiff both for our modern standards and theirs.
I haven't seen this version of Emma yet, because I don't see how anyone could improve on the Romola Garai version, but this analysis makes me want to check it out. The thing that most throws me off in period dramas is something they seem to have done with Emma in this newer version: her hair is a strange, yellowish, bleached blonde that doesn't exist in nature, and contrasts too sharply with her eyebrows and the undertones in her face. It looks like she's wearing a wig. I don't mind when they modernize the makeup a little, but that shellacked blonde hair is just awful! If they needed to make a brunette into a blonde, because Emma is traditionally blonde (though I can't remember if the book specifically stated that she had fair hair), couldn't they have toned it down to a shade approaching nature? Was this an intentional choice by the hair and makeup people?
In this outfits you look so much like a portrait I've seen of Adèle d'Osmond, comtesse de Boigne (a French court lady around 1820 who left very famous Memoirs), that's a strange experience to feel. I see in the real life, I mean living, moving, talking, a real person in 2020, but about whom I think "That's EXACTLY what they were seeing in 1820"... I can't really express how much this gives me a deep emotion.
It 100% did register to me that you were in costume the first time I watched this video until I saw the thumbnail MONTHS LATER Lol. You look so natural in historical styles it didn't even phase me haha
Hi Karolina , I just watched your/this video for the second time after watching the Emma. movie. The first time was way back when you released it and I've to say, I enjoyed it both times very much. You achieved quite well to not spoil the movie, but also to hint at specific things for the ones' who watched the movie already. I enjoyed watching it this time a lot, too. Thanks for that! Besides that, just thank you, I enjoy watching many of your videos a lot. I hope everything goes well for you and that you can accomplish your wishes and dreams and I hope and wish you all the happiness possible. Warm greetings from Switzerland. PS: I also enjoyed watching the Emma. movie. :')
Dear karolina, thank you for yet another great video! One thing though... I don’t understand why the costume designer name is not credited at all in a lot of these kind of videos out there.. that is such an interesting and knowledgeable discussion on the costumes in this particular video , I think it only right that the costume designer gets a mention. Alexandra Byrne did a GREAT job, and she deserves it!
I really disliked this movie because, imo, you could’ve changed the whole goddamn movie but the plot and the slowly budding romance between Emma and Knightly is the core. The romance was absolutely AWFUL and the the dialogue was atrociously nonsensically boring in some areas! Great acting, looks beautiful. That’s all.
I guess in a way you could excuse Emma's tight curls as having been done by a toupee curler. Though I don't know if they would have been common during the regency period.
Hey, it looks like you're offering non auto-generated subtitles which is awesome! I don't know who's writing them but unfortunately they are still pretty inaccurate/non-sensical in places. Might be something you wanna look into!
my mother wore rag ties in her hair to achieve the long curls and she use to do it to my hair when young for special occasions. Somewhere, I use to have old photos
I love your attention to detail and general knowledge. I was wondering if you could do a video remarking the TV series "Versailles" which takes place between about 1655 and 1680. Have you seen it? I wonder about all the court dress and hair as well as the commoners. Please consider doing a video reviewing these.
I know you probably won’t see this but could you analyze the historical accuracy of the series anne with an e 🥺 it’s one of my favorite series and I’ve tried doing some of my own research but I’d love to hear what you think of it!
I liked how in one dinner scene Emma's curls were nice and tight but by the evening they started to look loose and not so bouncy when she was leaving. Its such a small detail but that's every girls problems when having curls. :)
Such an interesting, informative and entertaining video! I thought to have it just as a background while eating but I found myself listening so intently I had do drop anything else lol
