Synopsis

The movie Vanity Fair (2004) is based on one of the most beloved of all 19th century novels, by the same name, written by William Makepiece Thackeray, a contemporary and friend of Charles Dickens.

The movie opens by introducing our two heroines, Rebecca Sharp and Amelia Sedley, who are the best of friends.

Amelia, who comes from a rich family, is a kind and innocent person loved by her classmates and "sucked up to" by her teachers.

(I think I just sensed Thackeray rolling over in his grave by my use of slang!)

Backy is a poor orphan, who has only been allowed to stay at the school as an unpaid teacher of the French language.

Before Becky starts to look for work as a governess, she has been invited to stay for a while at the Sedley home.

Here she meets 2 young men; one, Amelia's brother, Josiah is a figure of fun---he is home on a visit from India where he works as an administrator; the other, George is Amelia's fiancee.

George has many faults; he is a dreadful snob, he is bored by Amelia and fails to appreciate her love.

The 4 young people make up a party to go to a sort of pleasure garden.

Becky sets her cap for Jos, and probably could have snatched him up, but George sneers to Jos that it would be dreadful for him(George) to have to tolerate having a lowly governess for a sister-in-law.

George's father has bought him a commission in a military regiment.

Through this connection, we are introduced to another Army man, Captain William Dobbin.

Dobbin adored Amelia with the pure love.

In some instances, the music even detracted from the storytelling, overshadowing important dialogues and moments with its intrusive and ill-fitting compositions.

The music during the scenes featuring Rebecca Sharp reflects her cunning and ambitious nature. The use of strings and percussion creates a sense of tension and intrigue, capturing Backy's manipulative and calculating character.

I found the soundtrack of Vanity Fair to be quite disappointing. The music did not seem to capture the essence of the 19th-century setting and felt out of place in certain scenes.
