For the most part, Jane Austen would be appalled at most of the recent film adaptations of her work. The Emma Thompson/Kate Winslett adaptation of S and S was quite good, but the others all insist on either a feminist slant that would have sent Austen screaming into the night or a bodice-ripper one that she expressly rejected. It's one thing to interpret an author's work, another entirely to contradict it while still using its characters, plot, title, etc.
