Aaaah Keira Knightley... *dreams away*
Heh.
Heh.
It is a good film, I love all the versions of Pride and Predjudice, even the old black and white ones from years ago - it is a classic......but......have you seen Bride and Predjudice?
Is that about a mixed race marriage?
I just watched the Pride and Prejudice DVD a few days ago. Although it has taken we a while to get used to Mr. Darcy not being Colin Firth, I must say that greatly enjoyed it. No wonder, really, I think its in my blood. My mother and grandmother are always racing to find the latest Jane Austen related books and such before the other one does.
I did see it last nigth with my oldest daugther , as I was watching it I told her "That cant be Mr Darcy , coz it isnt Colin Firth" , until I realized that it was another versionI thougth the film was goodbut I also love all of the other films/series made by the book of Jane Austin

Yup... "Sense & Sensibility", "Bed & Breakfast", "Tango & Cash"... they're all muy excellente.
Pride and Prejudice with Keira Knightley is indeed a sight to behold! But I think she looked a bit scrawny in the film, though she still kept that bit of grace about her. Jane was not as pretty as I imagined, but that was forgivable. And Mr. Wickham reminded me very much of a certain Elf with blond hair. The romance was pretty well-captured, but I didn't buy the DVD.
I liked this latest Pride and Prejudice, with a few exceptions:
-- Keira Knightly too pretty to be Elizabeth; (I love Keira Knightly though)
-- As mentioned previously, Jane not pretty enough (but she wasn't that attractive in the Colin Firth version either)
-- Mr. Darcy not Colin Firth (BUT this Mr. Darcy showed alot more of the inner turmoil, which I did like)
-- The American ending, which I hear is different than the British or European ending, is 100% CHEESY!!!!
Yes, Maydmarion, I saw Bride and Prejudice, but I didn't like it that much. It wasn't as fun as Bollywood movies usually are

Is that the one where Elizabeth impales Mr Darcy with an American flag and marries a talking pie instead? Guess that happens when Homer Simpson does the script writing.
Actually, that ending might have been better...
Ah, another glorious moment in which I desperatly wish I had not been born in the land of reality TV and supersized cheeseburgers.
I really liked how Kiera Knightly portrayed Elizabeth Bennet as the young, spirited girl that she is supposed to be. Elizabeth in the Colin Firth version seems a bit mature to be in her early twenties. I love both Elizabeths though.
Is it just me, or does Mr. Bingley look like he could be a relative of the Weasleys from the Harry Potter movies? He just looks a bit goofy, and he does have red hair.

I've sported that thought too! Mr. Bingley is handsome enough, all right, butu he just looks sort of goofy, like one of those nerdy scientists (tall, thin, messy hair...). But he wasn't such an important character in the movie, so I didnt care that much.
I am a HUGE Jane Austen fan...I love to read her books...though you really do have to concentrate in beginning to get into the story...but once you're in...you are hooked!
I LOVED Pride and Prejudice!!! Probably one of my favorite movies...I love a clean, funny romance!!!
What I loved about Mr. Darcy was when he first enters the movie, you think..."Yuck, what a snot...he's not even attractive!"
BUT...by the end of the movie...he's the most gorgeous and romantic man alive.
Well...maybe I'm just speaking for myself...
But I love all the Jane Austen movies! Sense and Sensibility. Persuasion. Emma. And I'm sure there are others...
An Ideal Husband is another good Jane Austen-ish movie.
Can anyone recommend any other good Jane Austen tyoe books?
