Becoming Jane (2007) Netflix
Set in 1795, Becoming Jane imagines the youthful years of Jane Austen (Anne Hathaway) as a spirited, emerging writer who refuses to accept marriage as merely a financial transaction. Pressured by her family toward a wealthy match, Jane instead sparks a spirited, intoxicating connection with the roguish Irish barrister Tom Lefroy (James McAvoy). Their sharp wit and growing passion put them at odds with society and the economic realities of the time, forcing a painful choice between love and security. The film tenderly suggests how that illicit romance and Jane’s defiant views on marriage helped shape the themes of her later novels.
