tearful ending

ok, so....i broke down and went to see becoming jane...mostly because several women who came to our annual pound and pedal bike/run event asked if i had seen it......seems i was the only austenite out of this crowd who had yet to see the film.......who knew?.....and supposedly austenites find it quite the tear-jerker.....thankfully the producers kept closely to historical fact, and when licence was taken it was in the the grey areas of her life.....the gaps left when one time-lines her many letters.....it could have happened this way......even the guy who wrote her latest biography becoming jane austen served as historical consultant for the film......good enough for me......anne hathaway does a credible job as jane...she can affect that ethereal dewiness that comes to mind when i read her novels.....like the misty morning in the country that begins the film.....when one really believes in the possibilities that the day may bring.....
