Pride & Prejudice

Could’ve used more zombies

Despite not having read the novel I really loved the story. Cast were amazing. The acting was the thing that stood out the most. The main cast delivered some of their best performances.

Love this movie body and soul.

You have bewitched me body and soul and I love I love I love you AND I’m gonna crash out!

It's impossible to remake and do justice to a classic, but by God this is the best and truest exception. Looking at just the movie- forget the book- Pride & Prejudice has passionate yet unassuming performances from a mix of fresh faces and legends who do not overdo it, but instead capture complex characters with 21st century nuance. Not to mention, the music in this film is PERFECTION. Knightly's wonderful and McFayden charismatic. Truly a classic film in any era but also a faithful adaptation.

Just a perfect movie...

With great handling of its themes, splendid performances (particularly Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfayden) and its appropriate old-fashioned look, Pride & Prejudice is a great watch that feels authentic in its presentation, even though it takes a little while to fully get moving and some parts are a tad messy.

A movie that gets better and better as the years passes!

This is probably as good as it gets for a movie adaptation of the novel. This was my gateway drug into all things Jane Austen when it came out, I have rewatched this many many times. The performances are fantastic. The music and (some of) the cinematography is stunning. Although it's satisfyingly romantic I did always feel a little let down at the end. The payoff is a bit brief & no wedding scene. After knowing the story better since reading the book and watching the gold standard mini-series I feel the speed of the story through this movie much more keenly. If it were made today for audiences a bit more used to long run times it could've been well served with a bit more breathing room. The thing that really knocks off stars for me is the hair and makeup. Takes me out of the story every single time I watch it. The obvious mica sparkles on Keira's face when it's in the sun, the heavy and really obvious eyeliner and dark shadow that's supposed to be a "natural" look. The ragged edged hairline of Keira's wig in the back. Then there's weird lighting, especially in the last proposal scene, why, when she's facing the rising morning sun is she so shadowed (maybe to hide the worst makeup moment in the whole movie)? Why, with the sun to his back is Darcy so brightly lit in the face? It feels like it jumps between two different settings as the edit goes back and forth between their faces.

La película es sin lugar a dudas la mejor adaptación de la novela de Jane Austen. Y el elenco es superior en toda manera posible, tanto Keira Knightley interpretando a Elizabeth Bennet, como Matthew Macfadyen como el Sr. Darcy, la conexión que se muestra entre los dos, es incomparable y única. Es de lo más satisfactorio ver el desenlace de los sentimientos que arduamente se niegan a aceptar los personajes principales haciendo la trama muy interesante y agradable a los ojos de la audiencia, sin dejar de lado la trama secundaria, entre la Srta. Jane y Charles Bingley creando una armonía que hace posible disfrutar de ambas historias por igual, y así logrando que el público empatice con la situación que viven ambas parejas y el entorno en que se desarrolla la historia de estas. Además la proporción de los temas que se tocan a través de la película es simplemente única, matrimonio, clase social, prejuicio, y amor, lo que la hace perfecta en todos los sentidos. Considero que no hay suficientes palabras para describirla sin sonar obsesionada con ella. Es simplemente exclusiva, inmejorable e irrepetible. 1000/10 Pd: Matthew Macfadyen te adoro en la película la interpretación es perfecta y eres el ideal. (eres la excepción y te preferiría sobre el oso)
