What I love about Darcy is that he listened to what Elizabeth said, and made an effort to change his flaws.

[@chiaratippy]

What a lot of people fail to understand, I think, is that Darcy is not so loved because he's the perfect man (spoiler alert: he's not perfect at all) but because when the woman he loves rejects him and tells him why, he actually thinks her accusations over and over and comes to the conclusion that she was right (at least partly), he was being a prick, and does his best to show her that he has listened to her and has learnt from his mistakes and puts aside both his pride and prejudice. Which is also what Elizabeth does.

4:10 one is the BEST!!! I think some would notice that Darcy, in respect of 'class' is higher than the Gardiner's (IIRC, Elizabeth's uncle Gardiner is in trades while Darcy is a gentleman--different circle), but he requested Elizabeth to introduce him to the Gardiner's anyway. This shows two sides: one, Darcy respects Elizabeth's judgment that she can vouch for these strangers, two, him assuming that Elizabeth's acquaintances are of similar circle therefore worthy of knowing/introduction. Darcy could've just ignored them, but nooo, he requested to be introduced to them, then he also was polite and accommodating making the Gardiners felt welcome.

[@anonleft]

Also she's watching him when she mentions cheapside - the place CB mocks - and is shocked that he's entirely friendly about it. Also there's a huge contrast between the way he takes a no and someone like Collins. First thing he says in the letter is not to worry that he's continuing with unwelcome attentions, and at the end the first thing he says is that if he's wrong and matters haven't changed, he'll be silent on it forever. He flags in both cases, immediately, that her no is and will be respected.

Agreed. While the _age_ of the actors for the 2005 film version was truer to the book, everything else about the characterization/acting was truer in the miniseries (imo). They tried to Jo March-ify Elizabeth's character for some reason (according to interviews, Jo Wright thought that her preference for going on walks and not particularly minding getting her hem a little dirty, and the fact that she occasionally read a book, automatically made her some ahead-of-her-time tomboy). They also made multiple characters socially awkward or gave the social awkwardness undue importance as a way to 'explain' their flaws and a cheap shortcut to audience sympathy, including _Mr. fucking Collins_ (Darcy definitely has some social awkwardness - that's canon; but to lean on that so heavily as the chief explanation for his aloofness/snobbery is a Hollywood solution to a more complex, less perfectly sympathetic personality).

Far superior version! Lizzy sees Darcy out of his element most of the movie. He doesn't enjoy parties, Bingley's sisters or Lady Catherine. In addition, he's not a great conversationalist. Throw his attraction for Lizzy into the mix and he really struggles, which, for such a successful man, he's rarely experienced. That's why the scene where she sees who he is at Pimberly is so great. She sees how prejudice she really was all along and that he's really a great guy.

1:54 This is what I love about P&P: Elizabeth takes offense at the idea of women “needing” to be anything to meet Darcy’s approval, meanwhile it gets under Darcy’s skin that it seems like she willfully missed the point that he complimented her, and like, neither of them are wrong because they’re *both* wrong. Darcy in his present state can’t woo to save his life and Lizzie did have a bit of a woooooosh moment by thinking the intention was to insult. P&P is essentially about all the understandable ways these two systematically prove themselves to be smart in every area except how right they are for each other.

I'm so glad you're liking the book, and yes!, Jane Austen was a brilliant writer, I love her so much! I'm glad you appreciate the inner monologue written that way, some people have been bothered by the cursing and the 21st century language and I'm sorry for that but, as you've pointed out, I use it all to heighten as much as possible the contrast between their overly polite speech and manners and what they "think" but are not allowed to show nor say because society rules forbid it and make the result all the more absurd and hilarious.

When I see the reactions, I immediately think back to the lengthy inner monologue from the book, which is why I find it hilarious.

The other reason Darcy's offering to help Mr. Gardiner fish in his stream is really notable is that usually game and fish were reserved for the "lord of the manor's" use [keep in mind this was a time when poaching was a huge offense], so it was a PARTICULARLY friendly and generous thing to do, especially as he knew it couldn't be reciprocated.

She doesn't lose her femininity, but still lashes out those zingers with the best of spirit. A woman truly to be reckoned with.

one of the best TV literary adaptations of all time, well scripted and acted and perfectly cast. and not just Lizzie and Darcy but the minor characters, too, Lady Catherine, Mr Collins, Wickham, Lydia, Bingley, there isn't a single character who isn't well portrayed. and Mr and Mrs Bennett are hilarious. I say "one of" the best, but I'm struggling to think of an equal to it at the moment.

[@LeoDomitrix]

Ehle's every pause, movement of a mere eyebrow, said more than all Keira Knightley's Elizabeth, IMO, and I will die on this hill. Firth manages to express much with his eyes but her microexpressions MAKE this performance. She kept her body well within the bounds of Regency propriety, and it's a stark contrast to Caroline, among others. When Darcy proposes with "against my better judgment" she managed to convey extreme "Are you effin gkidding me?!" with a mere twitch.
