Description

Born to poor parents, Becky Sharp (Reese Witherspoon) has always aspired to be a member of England's upper classes. Leaving her boarding school and best friend, Amelia (Romola Garai), behind, Becky associates herself with the Crawleys, eventually falling in love with their son, Rawdon (James Purefoy). The marriage is happy at first, but deteriorates when Rawdon's fortune dwindles. Becky is then supported by the lecherous Marquess of Steyne (Gabriel Byrne), whose motives are less than pure.

really love this version of Vanity Fair I think Mira Nair ...
I happened to really,really love this version of Vanity Fair I think Mira Nair is very talented and Reese Witherspoon is a great little actress so why the heck am I being insulted by some idiot's today saying that they prefer the Much outdated and boring version (that's way to long) of Natasha Little's version? And saying that oh because I and other's here who really love this version as compared to their version..must be a Kardashian fan what a joke LOL! You know when they insult me they insult everyone here who love's this version and because we won't (or at least I won't cowtow to what their version of good or great is they insult)..if you disagree with me or others who don't think like you do just say you disagree and leave it with that just don't insult us to death....and to me in my opinion it is the much superior version it's classy,colorful...and Reese Witherspoon played the bratty & selfish Becky Sharp to the hilt...the way Becky Sharp was written by the author and was supposed to be played ... show more

A flawed interpretation but not without some good points.
If you read several of the reviews, you soon realize that this film is a very mixed production with some obvious conceptual and interpretation flaws. However in all fairness, there are some very good points that bear mentioning also. I will try to cover the primary weaknesses and strengths of this film. A primary weakness is that the short 2.5 hour format is too short to cover such a vast amount of time, characters, and interactions. Whereas characters that maintain roughly the same persona over time or who are only seen during certain parts of the story, this is not an issue. However for the character of George Osborne, played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers, the short format is a disaster. He goes from a complete snob who doesn't even wish to talk with Becky since she is a meer governess, to convincing Jos Sedley to refrain from courting Becky, to becoming engaged to Amelia Sedley, to breaking the engagement for financial gain, to cruel abuse of Amelia, to refusing a rich marriage arranged by his father, to marrying Amelia, to trying to seduce Becky, to dying at Waterloo. No actor could make a sensible performance of this mess. As the main protagonists, Reese Witherspoon and James Purefoy, as Becky Sharp Crawley and Rawdon Crawley, at least appeared to have some character development over time that was comprehensible. Another weakness is that the film could not decide to be totally sarcastic, cruely funny and bitter as in the novel or to try to engage the audience by sugar coating some of the characters, especially Becky. This leads to a disconnect that indicates that Thackery's original masterpiece was poorly understood by the film makers. The contemporary message that Englands wealth was due to colonial exploitation could have been integrated without going totally over the top. The influence of Indian was too much, reaching the point of absurdity with Becky and the society matrons acting as Hindu dancing women before the King of England. Thus cruel characters such as the Marquess, Lord Steyne, coming across as cardboard 2 dimensional villians instead of the truely pathological evil characters they really are. Margaret Mitchell must have been influenced by Vanity Fair as she wrote Gone with the WInd. Her translation of Becky Sharp into Scarlett O'Hara is far more insightful and subtle than is this translation of Becky Sharp from masterpiece novel to inconsistent and poorly conceptualized film. Yet there are strengths. The scene where Rawdon Crawley is called to war against Napoleon and quickly gives a quick assessment of both his small worldly worth and yet his great love for Becky is touching, well-played, and the emotional height of the story. Eileen Atkins is super as rich Aunt Matilda Pitt. Jim Broadbent is good as Mr. Osborne, the rich merchant. Bob Hoskins, is funny as Rawdon's excentric father. Gabriel Byrne is not given enough time and space to adequatly flesh out the evil boredom and malcontent of Lord Steyne. Reese Witherspoon gives everything she has to make this version of Becky Sharp work. However when the director takes a character like Becky Sharp and tries to reshape them, the vision or consistency is lost, and Witherspoon's Becky never seems to learn. There is only one scene where Witherspoon conveys the tragedy that is Becky Sharp, that being the high pitched scream the Becky calls out to Rawdon as he walks out of her life forever. James Purefoy as Rawdon Crawley is well done, conveying that even though he is penniless and a gambler, none-the-less he is devoted to Becky. The film is visually beautiful but conceptually shallow and inconsistently executed. ... show more

A cross of Gone with the Wind & Bel Ami
I'm not a GWTW fan at all but I did enjoy this movie. It's 2hrs long but the movie is so good you don't care. Reese plays a girl who was poor and without any blue blood. She is determined to work her way up the social latter and does so at a fast rate. This part reminded me much of the book Bel Ami. But you all know what happens when you reach the top...no where to go but down. This is where it reminds me of GWTW. Anyway I don't want to give the story away. I myself wish I didn't read some of the reviews because they told too much of the story. So if you like some romance with your drama speckled with a bit of comedy then this is for you. ... show more

Might Better Have Promoted it as "Based On" or with "A Hint Of" Thackeray's Vanity Fair
I just viewed this last night, so I wanted to get my thoughts down while they are fresh. My conclusion is, it's an interesting collection of expensive backgrounds and clothing and great if you want a trendy "romp" version of Vanity Fair, but it is far from the real thing. See the A&E Literary Classics version if you want something closer to the real thing. It's long. You don't get to watch the whole thing in 2 hours, but it's worth the time spent. This one really isn't. It isn't clear to me whether the producers had the same idea in mind when they produced this as I had when I watched it. I hadn't thought they would try to cram the whole book into a couple of hours. If you're looking for a movie with Reese Witherspoon at her best, this may be it. Other than that, this is a bunch of people in period costume with creative and expensive scenery behind them. The story was not well considered but something of an afterthought. We started out the way I expected, other than the childhood scene, with Becky Sharp leaving the school, shouting a few insults in French as she departs. Then I got lost. I had a terrible time figuring out the characters, and I knew the characters. I can't imagine how difficult it would be if one wasn't familiar with the book. It appears that the goal was to fit the book, as much of it as possible, into 120 minutes, no matter what it took. I enjoyed it in spite of the confusion and I'm not sure how else they could have fit it all in. Unfortunately for the movie, the characters never really developed. Unfortunately for me, I never developed a 'relationship' with any of them enough to care what happened to them, although there was that dramatic almost 'panic attack' moment where Becky Sharp realized she had lost the man she actually loved. The friendship between Becky and Amelia wasn't very important in this movie and it is all important in the book. Jos Sedley, Amelia's inept but not entirely unlikable brother, was one exception. He was exactly as I had imagined him, but where was my hero, William Dobbin?! He was given no time to develop his role and consequently almost ceased to exist. He bought the piano. Amelia's reaction when she found out? She might as well have had no reaction. There really wasn't time to explore these characters in 2 hours. That was my main beef with this movie. William Dobbin just appeared occasionally, made a statement, and then went away. It was all meaningless when it should have been an important part. I've really got to go view that first scene in the Sedley house again. It was so confused that I'm still not sure who was there, what happened, or why, or was there even such a scene? It was one of the most important parts of the story, but was rushed into insignificance because of the time constraints evidently. My conclusion is, I'm glad they attempted Vanity Fair. I wish there had been time to do it well. ... show more
