I was surprised about how the movie deviated from the book. Some of the changes seemed pointless, but I did like the change of adding the slavery aspect to the movie. It gave Tom far more substance than he was allowed to have in the book. I especially liked how Jane Austen's humor was accurately portrayed in the movie. Fanny did have some memorable and extremely witty lines. I was upset about her agreeing to marry Henry and then changing her mind. She really did hurt him very badly. I don't remember that happening in the book. The scene only seems to damage Fanny's character and I'm not sure what the writer was trying to accomplish by adding it.
