"I'm not a bird and no net ensnares me"

Maybe, an unpopular opinion: We are used to see Mr Kightley as the voice of reason throughout all the past movies adaptations. Fortunately, since the new #emma2020 directed by #autumndewilde (a magnificent woman with a witty sense of humour, just like Jane), we can spot the presence of a few defects which are relevant for the character evolution to me:

"She always declares that she will never marry": using " declares" he decides to underline that "she is saying something but after all is quite mean less", he cares deeply for Emma but he is also chained into an old common sense where a woman who "declares something has to be considered relative".

To not be so hard with my beloved Mr Knightley, I need to admit that during the regency era it was true that women cannot "decide", Emma is able to do it just because she is rich and she knows it and that's why she will try to help Harriet.

So here we are: Mr Knightley is not SO perfect and Emma is, in her personal way, a compassionate woman who cares for freedom of speech and choice.

One day, I was hanging out with two of my most recent friends, enjoying the refreshing sunny weather.

That day I wasn't in the mood for pictures (as rarely I am because to me it's boring) and force myself to "appear pretty" neither, so I decided to take some photos of them.

They are both stunning girls and ravenous of pictures. They were anxious to make enough photos to post on their Ig. I am still here, asking myself: why they need appreciation, even from strangers?

They continue to ask each other "do I look fat?" "Am I ugly?".

That day something cracked inside me.

That day they tricked me, I started to meditate on what would mean to be considered a "beautiful girl" (in the most stereotypical sense of the word), trapped in that "feeling not enough".

But they are wrong, no photo could represent me, trap me, define me, summarise me.

Firstly, in my opinion, they show me a lack of respect: they know I am 10 kg heavier, at least (with any regret, it's ok for me). I am mostly at peace with myself and my flaws, but this does not justify their attitude and lack of sensibility.

Oh.my.God. frames from this movie are simply brilliant 💕

We sometimes need to build new pieces of our relationships. We shouldn't care about old and lost pieces but create fresh and new moments and memories on the old foundations.

So let's loose the old bricks in nowhere and bind the new ones with the strongest cement in order to fight the next tempest.

Imagine what would means to have a loyal friend as Mr. Knightly is. What would means to have someone who knows you deeply, in your most unrevealed toughts and emotions, who can understand your untold problems. Someone with who you can argue and grow who sees you like a real person with all her worst habits and marvellous aspects.

I've always thought that the relationship between Emma and Mr.Knightley is deeper than the others Jane Austen's couple. They are complete because they grow up as intimate friends and then they fall in love of each other.

I admire so deeply mr. Knightley 'cause he never walks away from Emma when she had a struggle and he never turns his beck to her, even when she insulted a common friend.

*personal toughts on friendship*

To find a person who you can trust and walk side by side on life path is a very rare thing nowadays and i wish even now so intensely to find someone like him or be that friend for someone else.

I believe so ardently in friendship all above everything, even love, that I really don't understand why I can't find someone who could "earn" my affection and totally admiration. I know I should be more outgoing and that kind of stuff but I also know that when I decide to trust someone I would be capable to show her/him my total disponibility but continually they prefer other people who want to use and take advantage of them.

"But I'll not dance, I do not enjoy dancing, and I'm not good at it"

"Will you dance, dear Emma?"

Famous last words, Mr.knightley...
