FIRST-TIME WATCHING *Bride & Prejudice* and it was SO FUN! (Reaction Commentary)

[@chandnirai7039]

@@PinkPopcast in this movie universe Mr. Darcy knows well 😝

[@thatgirlinautumn5995]

I love this concept, because Darcy is not written as a mean-spirited character but as socially awkward, that’s what leads to his occasional rudeness. He’s completely lost in Indian society here, which is understandable but ALSO makes for good conflict without painting anyone as particularly rude in nature. Love how much fun they had with this movie

[@PinkPopcast]

@@thatgirlinautumn5995 exactly! That’s what I was saying when he first rejected dancing, but then came back to dance because that makes more sense than the original version in he just doesn’t dance period. Lol.

[@CCC-rd3gc]

Дарси никогда не был подлым. Возможно, немного слишком гордым в начале истории, но никогда подлым.

[@jaimicottrill2831]

But in P&P Darcy is rude, not socially awkward! The whole point of the book is that he thinks he is better than a lot of the country people that he has to hang with in Meryton, he is arrogant and thinks Elizabeth and her family are beneath him. But he is thought of well, he is a liberal master he is educated and it is pointed out in the book that he is easy with his "own kind". Trying to make Darcy socially awkward takes away a lot of his character arc in the book and also takes away Elizabeth's motivation for refusing Darcy in the beginning and then accepting him at the end. In the begimming of the book Darcy is an ass, but after being rejected by the women he loves he goes and thinks about her words and takes them seriously and takes steps to be kinder.

[@IslesYankeeLady]

@@jaimicottrill2831As usual, people who insist on staying only to source specific analysis completely miss the point of adaptation. It is NOT to copy the source. It does not always make for a good adaptation. It is to take inspiration from it. This movie is not even technically a production of Pride and Prejudice in screen or play form. It is clearly INSPIRED by Pride and Prejudice. Will Darcy is specifically not Fitzwilliam Darcy of Pemberly in Derbyshire. He’s Will Darcy, hotel magnate. I will never understand getting mad at artists doing their job and finding new creative interpretations of stories. They are artists. Not scribes. Why would we want it hamstrung by only one possibility? Do we go to every production of Hamlet expecting the actor to parrot the exact same line delivery? Of course not. Ergo, a film adaptation, especially a modern one, is free to portray what is right for its story. In the same vein, it’s a mark of how well constructed Austen’s work is that it is this adaptable. This Darcy lives in the early 20th century, not the 19th. He should react to his given circumstances and modern characteristics. Thinking he’s actually better than everyone is far worse today than in a society that was taught a social hierarchy.

[@janicelaccay2926]

I guess the first misunderstanding in the movie was missed. Darcy didn't dance with Lalita the first time around because his pants was literally falling off! It was starting to fall off when Balraj made him dance with Lalita. He was trying fix it right before being introduced to Lalita and her family. He didn't want to say the truth as to why he really didn't want to dance. Then as he was leaving you can see his pants still sliding down his legs.

[@PinkPopcast]

😭😭😭 that’s so much nicer than just… hating to dance 😂

[@janicelaccay2926]

@@PinkPopcast Yeah the set up for the misunderstanding was pretty good! If you re-watch it you realize that Darcy wasn't twirling awkwardly because he wasn't comfortable dancing but he kept on letting go of Lalita's hands to pull up his pants, lol! They did show Darcy talk with Balraj and Kira about how his pants keep on falling and even a guest was helping Darcy tie his pants but it probably didn't get fixed properly because then they were introduced to Lalita and her family. Darcy must of been squeezing his thighs for dear life to not let those silky pants fall down in front of a large party of people.

[@thatgirlinautumn5995]

That’s actually pretty cute and I appreciate whoever came up with that idea 😂 Also that would 1000% happen to me (again lol)

I'm sure others have mentioned it, but Aishwarya Rai has absolute clapbacks in interviews she's done in talkshows to borderline questions, quite similar to how her character addresses the stereotypes about India in this movie.

[@roxirock5455]

Actually, in the og Pride and Prejudice book Charlotte also knew or at least suspected Darcy had a thing for Elizabeth. She tried to tell her, but Lizzy just laughed at the idea and Charlotte thought it was better not to keep pressing the matter as to not give Lizzy false hope. This happened while Lizzy was visiting her after she got married to Mr Collins, and Darcy and colonel Fitzwilliam were visiting them often. The colonel was clearly enjoying their company and thats why he came, but Charlotte was suspicious about why Darcy was coming too, since he didn't talk that much, so she thought it might be to see Elizabeth.

Aishwarya, who plays Lalita, was actually in another contemporary Jane Austen-adaptation prior to this one called Kandukondain Kandukondain. It's based off of Sense and Sensibility and Aishwarya plays the Kate Winslet role (from the 1995 version). It's a Kollywood film (Indian industry film) and in Tamil so it might not be something you'd be willing to watch for the channel but I highly recommend it either way. It's one of my favourite Austen adaptations and the songs are great. The composer is A. R. Rahman, who made the music for Slumdog Millionaire. Love everything you guys do! ❤

"yeh ishq hai" is genuinely one of my favourite songs ever and shreya ghoshal, who did the singing for a few of kareena kapoor's movies, has one of the most beautiful voices in the history of bollywood imo. i remember hating shahid kapoor 1. bc his character is a prick, 2. bc HE'S a prick irl, and 3. bc i was gay and in love with kareena kapoor. alas, it is a classic 2000s romcom for Exactly those reasons. (also if u want english/bollywood crossovers, there are a ton in this genre to choose from. it's rad bc i never connected to the white ppl romcoms and i thought it was for gay reasons but it was for brown reasons lol. i feel like you would love "polite society" but i'm also lowkey gatekeeping it bc it's too good and nida manzoor is a genius) ANYWAY another banger from the pinkpopcast! hope u have a good day!

There was a famous and successful stage adaptation of Pride and Prejudice by Helen Jerome (the old MGM movie claimed it as a source, without actually using it), and it reduced the Bennet girls to 3 -- Kitty is necessary for the story, and she could absorb a little of Lydia, and Mary was just gone.

Also (2 months later) there's no double wedding in the book. A few of the (many, many) screen adaptations have added one, as a visual tie-up. Jane Austen actually doesn't give any dialogue for the final proposals (which are either unseen, or described in a general way), so that adapters have to do a lot of invention toward the end of the story.

[@insulaarachnid]

First of all guys those shirts are gorgeous! Secondly if you really have enjoyed all the P & P adaptions then I strongly recommend you check out two miniseries, Lost In Austen(2008), Death Comes To Pemberley(2013).

[@Noone-f8d6l]

Now that you're open to Bollywood, I'd love for you to check out 'Jab We Met'. It's a beautiful, funny road trip movie with good musical numbers and the screenplay is something even non desis can relate and understand. I might be biased because it's actually my favourite movie ever

[@desolationsamiga]

Not sure if anyone else has already mentioned it, but if you want to keep the Pride & Prejudice train going I would recommend Lost in Austen. It IS a mini series, but very good fun!

[@PinkPopcast]

We will eventually check that out 🙌🏽

[@dariasomers3141]

Lost in Austen is so much fun! An early aughts London girl switches places with Elizabeth and messes up the story. The cast is fantastic and there are lots of great twists!

[@RK-qx7tc]

You should watch Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela - it’s a Romeo and Juliet retelling with two of the biggest Bollywood stars (who also happen to be married IRL) 👏🏽

[@veravevi]

YEEESS thank u I'm so happy you watched this version! Loved the reaction😂 Everybody should watch Bride & Prejudice, it's ICONIC.

[@Visforelvenshireling]

I forgot how much I love this film! Watching it with you guys was awesome!

[@PinkPopcast]

* tips hat * 🎩

[@PokhrajRoy.]

19:29 Another great freeze frame (Also, the Garba scene could be a subliminal reference to one of Aishwarya’s previous films where the songs are still famous)

[@PinkPopcast]

We were having so much fun!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

37:26 Aishwarya’s look in this scene >>>>>>>>>>>>

[@PinkPopcast]

Aishwarya in EVERY scene! 😅🥵

[@PokhrajRoy.]

[@LazyHappy8]

I loooooved this movie when I was younger, we would watch it every year with my sister and mother, and I had completely forgotten about it ! Thank you so much for watching it ! Such good vibes !!

[@themothershiptv]

no way! this is one of my favorite movies ever! this made my whole week x

[@PinkPopcast]

😊😊😊

[@kx22i]

thank youuuuuu! one of my favourites, definitely a comfort movie for me.

[@PinkPopcast]

🥰

[@nishajha7080]

I loved this movie bc Aishwarya always had the best clap backs

[@PinkPopcast]

She’s quick!

[@BeckaraBlackblood]

After his comments on musicals, I need to know if Rizzo’s ever seen Chicago. If not that reaction is needed!!!!

[@PinkPopcast]

Surprisingly I’ve seen the LIVE play but not the movie 😮

[@BeckaraBlackblood]

@@PinkPopcast well, the movie is definitely the western musical, which puts real effort into the dancing, that you’ve been missing!

[@threshasketch]

Love this movie, glad you guys reacted to it! Some of my fav Bollywood movies: Dostana, Kuch Na Kaho, Om Shanti Om, and What's Your Raashee?.

[@sarasamehfci]

What a lovely surprise love this movie it's my comfort movie i have it all memorized by now

[@PinkPopcast]

Hahaha what’s your favorite line??? 👀

[@MollyKillers]

I feel like slowly this channel is just turning into a Pride and Prejudice/Cinderella reaction channel and I’m not mad about it 😂😂😂

[@Ashely56]

Another Bollywood recommendation: You guys should definitely watch "RRR"! It's pretty long, but it's an incredible movie and a fun time!!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Benji’s Kryptonite: Dress in Live-Action ‘The Little Mermaid’ Rizzo’s Kryptonite: Calling out movie titles only to correct them

[@PinkPopcast]

😂😂

[@webweaving]

omg, i might just go watch this. it looks so fun. hope you enjoyed the movie! there's another pride & prejudice adaptation that i love-austenland. i'd love to see both of you watch it.

[@serendipity191]

This movie is so fun! I haven’t watched it in ages. Thanks for doing this.

[@PinkPopcast]

You’re absolutely welcome! It’s Popstars like you that recommended the movie enough for us to watch 😊

[@ajmalaika1287]

I haven't seen this in ages, OMG the cast is stacked in case of Bollywood/Indian stars!

[@sherry607]

I have no idea where you would find them now, but I remember that on the DVD version, it has bloopers playing in the credits. Some were absolutely hilarious.

[@nathaniacarmini]

Yall need to watch Austenland and Lost in Austen Miniseries!

[@PinkPopcast]

🫡

[@noorjahan-e-khan]

Okay was not expecting to see this on my feed today but i'm.so happy y'all watched this version!! Gurinder Chadha the director of the movie also directed Bend it Like Beckham which i know you'll love and would love to see a vid for that one as well. For Bollywood movies, you'll definitely want to start off with something like Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham or Kuch Kuch Hota Hai these are considered classics of the late 90's and 2000's 🤍

[@PinkPopcast]

Thank you so much 😊

[@Nkp_09]

I watched this movie like a decade ago and its truly amazing how often "No life without wife" still gets stuck in my head

[@PinkPopcast]

Yess!

[@TheChantally]

THIS WAS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE MOVIES AS A KID! IM SO EXCITED 🎉

[@PinkPopcast]

HELL YEAH 🎉

[@dominomasked]

Benji’s hair looks super cute!

[@LastKupoNut]

I know someone has already mentioned it but just to leave a comment, another vote for Bend it like Beckham!

[@PinkPopcast]

Thanks 😁

[@PokhrajRoy.]

3:15 Oh please don’t worry about that. Jane Austen fits in beautifully with the Asian context. Sad that we don’t have that many adaptations of her work like in the West.

[@PinkPopcast]

They figured out a way

[@kal3998]

Never in all my days did I think I'd see anyone react to Bride & Prejudice 🤣 I was introduced to this movie by my Jehovah's Witness 8th grade English teacher who made us watch it and write a two page essay on it and I feel that perfectly represents how particular this movie is 😭

[@TheGav67]

Just so you realise… it is Bollywood tradition that there is no kissing shown between the love interests. Only embracing is allowed.

[@PinkPopcast]

We are new to all of this! That’s so fascinating to learn

[@theoryofperfection4777]

Actually, that's only half true. There isn't necessarily a hard and fast rule that enforces the whole "No kissing, no sex on screen" in the Indian movie industry. This movie came out in 2004...several other Indian movies also came out during this time period (early 2000's) and also before it (early and late 90's) that had lots of kissing scenes and sex scenes as well. And no...there were no body doubles or anything like that. And in the current day, it's pretty common for Indian movies to have a kiss scene and more.

[@theoryofperfection4777]

*encouraged

[@PokhrajRoy.]

“I’d like to show you France and my underpants.” HAD ME DYINGGGGGGGGG (Merch Line when?)

God we need to get on that 😂
