I just recently watched for the first time the Mansfield Park 2007/2008 mini-series and liked it, but I think I liked the 1999 adaption a bit more.
Fanny was so Edmund's second choice and it just felt weird. But I guess both of them deserve each other in their righteousness. Yeah, I think that ending was definitely abrupt, but you’re right about the deserving each other. Secondary characters were much more interesting - especially Mary Crawford who was all condemned for having opinions that weren't guided by a guy and being practical in some of her considerations. YES! You nailed it. Or for being open about what she really wants, rather than hide behind ‘fake propriety’ lol.
Sounds like it was a wonderful gathering/good times <3
