This movie came out when I was 16, and Renee Zellweger was being called “plus size” and “fat” 😮 We were so warped back then

@floppsymoppsy5969 Ай бұрын

She got so much praise for gaining like 20 pounds for this (she did it by eating Krispy Kreme according to her in an interview)

@wiebki Ай бұрын

right? that's all I can think about when I see this movie. wild how we all thought she was plus size.

@elisabethgreeno Ай бұрын

From what I remember of reading the book, it's much clearer that it's just Bridget who sees herself that way - throughout it she's tracking her weight, and at one point her friends tell her they're worried about how thin she's getting. It's a good commentary on diet culture/body image etc. but just didn't translate super well to the movie 😬

@wiebki Ай бұрын

@@elisabethgreeno I just remember how it was a huge deal in every talkshow that Rene Zellweger gained soooooo much weight for the role and how huge she was and how she lost the weight again and so on.

@elisabethgreeno Ай бұрын

@@wiebki Oh yeah that was inarguably absolutely fucked - and you just know that even if the film had conveyed the book's point better, the press would still have totally focused on that 🙃 I wonder how many of us have that memory lodged in our brains, festering. Also just want to add that I do love this movie - realised I've just popped up and kinda criticised it WHOOPS

@emaloney2211 Ай бұрын

Bridget Jones is basically the modern version of Pride and Prejudice. The ‘I like you just as you are’ is basically Mr Darcy’s botched proposal and Daniel cheating with Mark’s wife is when Wickham tried to cop off with Mr Darcy’s sister in the novel. The fight scene was originally going to be choreographed with stunt men but Hugh and Colin said that wouldn’t be realistic so instead they just fought like children in the film and it makes it more funnier because it is in reality how people actually fight.

@bigsistahtips Ай бұрын

In the fight scene, the idea was to show two middle-upper-class men who are completely useless at it because they never had to.

I think the flashing blue lights are because Bridget lives just under a railway bridge and its the flashes from the train going by above. Her flat is so iconic, its just on the edge of borough market which is a popular market in London. That's also why she was walking through it in her bunny costume (the peaky blinders place) so that she could get home. Loved the reaction such a good romcom!

Renée kept up the accent all throughout filming. Once everyone gathered for the wrap-up party, she finally dropped the accent. Hugh Grant was actually shocked she wasn't really British. He was quite impressed.

@McRino1 Ай бұрын

she doesnt sound at all "British" to me, its so... mouthy and jumps on words between posh and cockney. Beside the fact that "british" accent isnt even a thing one could have. Theres at least 30 accents specific to England, let alone adding Wales and Scotland into the mix.

@LA_HA Ай бұрын

@@McRino1There is a "typical" British accent for people outside of Britain. It likely depends on the one each country was introduced to. It's normal for countries that were once part of The British Empire and were once Englishmen to have a British accent they favor -- usually, it's The Queen's English (aka BBC English). It's not that we don't know there are other accents in Britain. It's the one we know as The Proper English Accent. Hope that helps

@LadyDi_ATX Ай бұрын

Considering she's born and raised in Texas (Katy, a Houston suburb) and Austin (where she attended and graduated from The University of Texas at Austin🤘), I think her British accent is pretty good. It's hard to overcome a deep Texas accent. And most folks I've met from upper middle-class Katy, TX, have a very strong Texas twang.🤠

You guys need to know that this movie (and the book) are a modern version of Pride and Prejudice. And Colin Firth became famous for playing Fitzwilliam Darcy, a very aristocratic and socially uptight man who falls in love with a woman from a family considered less wealthy and of not the same social standing. So there is a reason Mark Darcy is stand offish and difficult.

The blue flashing lights… Bridget lives right next to an electrified railway line on a bridge that sometimes flash blue with discharge when trains pass by, which can be seen in her apartment and the street on which she lives. There are dozens of these dotted around London and you can see a train pass over the bridge outside her apartment in the scene where the taxi drops her off drunk.

If you've seen him in Sense & Sensibility with Emma Thompson and the actress who played Rose in Titanic (drew a blank on her name), you'll see That Hugh Grant. After he got into some trouble for cheating on his famous and beautiful actress wife (or were they just dating at the time?) with a Hollywood hooker, he stepped away from acting for a while to let things cool down. And when he came back, his image was reconstructed into the bad boy a-hole stereotype we all know and love to hate today. And as you see, he's great in these roles. haha

The movie is from the novel by Helen Fielding and of course she got inspiration from Pride and prejudice. She said that she had been always thinking of Colin Firth's Darcy while writing, so when she agreed on making the movie, she did with one condition: he had to star as Mark. PS and that's why he is so aloof, just like Darcy in P&P
