One of the things I love so much about this version (the all-time best!) of "Pride And Prejudice" is how so much is communicated between Elizabeth and Darcy without words...they need only look at each other, they understand each other, their developing passion is so deeply and quietly spoken, without words....it's fascinating, and it's truly beautiful. Not a lot of blathering, no overt anything. It is an eventual meeting and knowing of souls, in such a subtle and quiet way. I absolutely love it. My hat is off to the exceptional talents of Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth!

I cannot agree more. So many movies just jump right to show and so much skin trying to make this "romantic scene" 🙄 when the music is done just right, the look is time right, and reason for the look is so poignant.... do you get one of the most romantic scenes of all time. Goes straight to the heart every time I watch it❤

[@flotteluft]

In my opinion Matthew Mcfayden appears a bit bland and unimposing in that role. Doesn't fit to the description of Mr.Darcy. But how can we know how the production company and co. decided to whom they give the roles? In film history roles have often not been given to those actors that "fit" but to those who got better networks and agents. Same with the Oscar film prize. Audrey Hepburn got the price for trivial Roman Holiday instead of Grace Kelly who did real acting in High Noon... I like Audrey but giving her the prize for such simple acting at the beginning of her career wasn't right. It was unfair.

I’m a guy but I think this series is one of the best things I’ve ever seen on a screen ever. And I’ve watched a lot. Normally I’m not into romance at all. Maybe it’s thanks to my Literature teacher in high school. He made us read a whole bunch of classical novels. From Jane Austen to Emily Brontë. From Dostoevsky to Tolstoj. From Hawthorne to Melville. From Dumas to Verne

[@carolanneposey5211]

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences agrees with you (and so do I), for Colin Firth received an Academy Award as Best Actor for the later film “The King’s Speech.” It was fun to see Jennifer Ehle as well in that film, though she didn’t play the King’s wife but the wife of his speech therapist. (The actor playing THAT role DID win an Oscar for “Best Supporting Actor.”) Excellence all around when Firth and Ehle are involved.

[@lafandenuel5605]

impossible. It was the most horrible of times. Fashion and entertainment only would accept starving young women unable to physically defend theirselves or to speak out, and depending on males to be fed or protected. Despicable era that lasted until 2010 decade. I was in highschool in the late nineties. Don't you remember Calvin Klein's walking skeletons and a handful of brands following the trend? Or how in 2005 (premiered, but preproduction started at least 2-3 years before) the actress chosen for Elizabeth Bennet was Keira Knightley? Jennifer knew she had nothing to do against that trend. Anyway it also had some good things. Independent filmmaking and out of mainstream fashion brands had their time and space to call all this nonsense out.

[@annieh.8175]

Who are you talking about? Jennifer Ehle (Elizabeth Bennett) is British/American. Her mother is also an actress and British and her father is American. She was brought up both in the United Kingdom and the USA and has made movies in both countries.

It’s great to see this flashback of the two. Lizzy only makes one judgment of error in that she becomes temporarily beguiled by Wickham. I think Jane Austen was wise to show a fault in Elizabeth. Makes her seem more human… ❤

I would consider Elizabeth's deliberate ignoring of points in Darcy's favour as another major error, which occurred before she decided to trust Wickham's untrustworthy story.

In this movie Pride and Prejudice I attempt to think what Darcy and Lizzie are thinking behind their smiles or confrontations. It's such a different time then the world we live in today. But I like to think their feelings are not that far off as our feelings are today. I wonder if Jane Austen really knew the feelings felt by her characters. What was Jane trying to get across to us today? Some things are impossible for us to know if not actually shared with us by the author.

So true... He also said he had ''very little'' to play, because Jane Austen didn't know much about men behaviour, so the women are much more developed as characters in her novels.

They saw Darcy as shy and reserved, as if he has an anxiety disorder, something Austen wouldn’t know to write about in that particular way. Pride and Prejudice is still fiction.
