Comments on: Pride and Prejudice 2005; Movie Review http://www.myprideandprejudice.com/2009/08/pride-and-prejudice-2005-movie-review/ The book, the movies and the BBC adaptations Sun, 05 Sep 2010 01:02:56 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.3 hourly 1 By: Valentinne http://www.myprideandprejudice.com/2009/08/pride-and-prejudice-2005-movie-review/comment-page-1/#comment-1012 Valentinne Mon, 23 Aug 2010 07:23:42 +0000 http://www.myprideandprejudice.com/?p=1113#comment-1012 My favorite thing about this movie is the director’s ability to convey the deep sadness of a broken heart. It made me sad for Elizabeth and Darcy – even though I know they get together!! I love the silent, contemplative scenes that depict time passing while Elizabeth reflects on her actions (swing, mirror). Is the cliff/dreaming scene meant to show Elizabeth looking over her future – vast and alone?? I adore JA's books and the BBC series but I prefer a perfect movie over a factually faithful adaptation. Thanks for this site. I just watched P&P on TV (again) and felt the need to emote! My favorite thing about this movie is the director’s ability to convey the deep sadness of a broken heart.

Everything about it takes my breath away, from the sweeping music, to the gorgeous landscapes, and wonderful chemistry between all of the characters. I have watched it over a dozen times, and can watch it ten dozen more, and each time I love it more. This is my favorite Jane Austen Novel, and this adaption has become my favorite movie.

It was my introduction to Austen, an absolutely brilliant movie, a fine adaptation that dealt extremely well with the limitations of 2 hours vs.6, and set me on my writing path. For all those reasons and a million more I can find no fault. Thanks for the wonderful review. Sharon Lathan www.darcysaga.net I certainly make no secret of the fact that I love and adore this movie.

It is a terrific cast. I completely understand having to cut out so much to fit it into a movie length...... but (only a little but though) sometimes they spoke so fast they were hard to understand - and I have a good ear for the english accent (mother & stepmom english)!
