Becoming Jane

Three movies in a row today! LOL! Way to spend the day! My heart is contented! Last movie for the day would be Becoming Jane. 

Becoming Jane tells the story of Jane Austen's life before she wrote famous books in the English Literature which includes Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and many others. The incidents of her life influenced her works.

In Becoming Jane, all girls about the age of Jane should be married as soon as possible. And certainly to a wealthy man, of course. Jane's mother told her to marry too. But she refused as she did not want her life to turn out to be like her mother's; living a life without affection with her husband. Subsequently, Jane met Lefroy. They fell in love with each other, but both sides of the family did not accept them being together. In the end, they both parted ways. Lefroy went on with his life. He was married and named his eldest daughter Jane. While Jane on the other hand, she stayed un-married, standing firm as an independent woman. In addition to this, her sister, Cassandra was unmarried too.

This movie lasted about 2 hours. I love it. I would have never guessed that her background made her to be such a great author in writing stories about strong women character. She is amazing!!!

Watch the Trailer :p
