 Written on August 31, 2008 Summary: Pride and Prejudice The product came in excellent condition and arrived even more quickly than I expected. The price certainly was better than I have seen anywhere else, too. I have not had any problems with Amazon previously, so this just reaffirms my trust. Thanks  Written on August 30, 2008 Summary: Very Pretty -- but Disappointing Being an annual reader of Pride and Prejudice and a lover of Jane Austen's humor and insight, I found this film to be at best disappointing. Austen's humor was lost in translation to say the least. Elizabeth Bennet was morphed into a dreamy eyed, slightly naughty, tousled haired temptress. Her father, Mr. Bennet, was, despite the acting talents of Donald Sutherland, transformed into a frousled, woolly, bumbling father who simply didn't know how to be a parent. All that aside, the photography is lovely, the costumes are beautiful, and the soundtrack is delightful, but this simply isn't Jane Austen. For a proper film version of this wonderful book try the A&E version starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle or the BBC. The A&E version may six one-hour episodes, but, with minor alterations, it's magnificently produced, witty, beautifully acted, and absolutely true to the book and entirely in keeping with Austen's writing. Written on August 28, 2008 Summary: Beauty, Romance . . . What's Not To Love? I don't claim to be an expert on the novels of Jane Austen and don't judge this adaptation according to the original story or any previous versions. Focusing on this 2005 film version starring Keira Knightly as Elizabeth, I found it filled with beauty, romance, music and breathtaking scenery. The casting is nearly perfect as each of the characters comes to life in a highly believable manner. Knightly does an extraordinary job at expressing her love of her sisters (even the kooky younger girls) and her father, along with her initial distaste for Darcy. I particularly enjoyed the peformances of Brenda Blethyn as Mrs. Bennett, and the appearance of Dame Judy Dench. It's a championship moment when Elizabeth stands up to her in the middle of the night--as good as her romantic scenes with Darcy. Everything about this film make it a period piece that completely capsulizes a point in time and a classic work of fiction. I will watch it again and again and again.  Written on August 17, 2008 Summary: Pretty, but rushed I just watched this version of P&P with low expectations, having viewed the definitive BBC version at least 20 times, and assuming this one would fall far short. I was right... although I admit I did enjoy watching it. Cinematically, it is quite beautiful - there is no dearth of luscious landscapes, interesting camera work, and gorgeous people. (The two leads are, perhaps, a bit TOO good looking...) It certainly looks better than anything the BBC could come up with. But in all other respects, it's so inferior as to make comparisons pointless. The story is rushed to the point that major characters and plot points are glossed over, crises unfold and are resolved much too hastily, and personalities are not well developed. Macfaydan, while undeniably GORGEOUS, is no Mr. Darcy. He comes across as quiet, reserved, just there. There is none of the arrogance, the disdain, the contempt that makes the character initially so unlikable, and therefore his big "transformation" doesn't really occur. Knightly is not bad, but her Elizabeth isn't really fleshed out much, either. Her relationship with her sisters, her father, Mr. Wickham, all of these are barely developed. And the two leads don't share enough screen time together to even make their romance believable. This movie is purely for the casual viewer looking for a pretty, romantic period film. For lovers of Pride and Prejudice, the book or the miniseries, it's just another so-so version to add to the heap. Written on August 17, 2008 Summary: destroyed the classic I have read this classic Jane Austen story so many times. I have seen so many versions of this classic. But, when I saw this version, I was appalled. The interpretation was modernized and failed in its attempt to remake an adaptation; it proved to be disastrous. First, the setting for the Bennet home depicted them as extremely vulgar. Second, Darcy appeared weak and stupid. Third, the screenwriters completely changed the storyline thus it was not an adaptation of the Jane Austen classic, but a distasteful, unresearched film about a silly girl in a messed up fantasy world that did not depict the 1800's in our world and then a weak and confused, immature male that falls in love with her. It was disgusting. |
