Political meeting. Yozgat, Tukey, 1990
to be honest, I was surprised to learn that Emma (2020) seems to have comparatively low (3, 3.5, 4 stars) average ratings on Letterboxd. It had everything - great cast, good cinematography, neatly done and historically accurate costumes and hairstyles - and, above all, it was genuinely fun and whimsical (the way I think comedies are supposed to be?). For me, it's still the best Austen adaptation I've seen. But... maybe most of those things are subjective. I don't know.
Why do you need me for this? I don’t need you. I want you. You’ve got me.

Maybe it’s better to have the terrible times first. I don’t know. Maybe then, you can have, if you live, a better life, a real life, because you had to fight so hard to get it away⸺you know?⸺from the mad dog who held it in his teeth. But then your life has all those tooth marks, too, all those tatters and all that blood.
