[@stephaniecasey9100]

Mr. Darcy is perfect to me because of the fact that he takes Elizabeth's criticisms of his character to heart and makes changes, but without any expectations of ever seeing her again. The changes were not done "for her" or to manipulate her. He changed because he discovered that she was right and he needed to correct his behavior. That is why they are they perfect enemies to lovers for me because it is earned.

[@TheGennen]

Yes!!! Je really listened to her. The first time they met he asked how one could encourage affection and she said dancing, then at the very next ball he asked her to dance. At Rosings she recommends that he practice conversation, and in the next scene he bursts into her room at Charlotte's house and makes awkward small talk. Then during the proposal she says that she's rejecting him because he's prideful and selfish. The next time they meet us with her aunt and uncle, who would normally be beneath his notice, but he's so welcoming to not only her but then as well!

[@alinac5512]

​@@TheGennen I think he would have welcomed her aunt and uncle either way, simply because they are her aunt and uncle.

[@marissaswain2944]

I mean he does say "surely you know it was all for you" lol so he DID change for her, but otherwise yes I agree lol 💕

[@TheGennen]

​@@alinac5512 Maybe. He wasn't exactly welcoming of the rest of her family before she took him down a peg.

[@alinac5512]

@@TheGennen he wasn't no welcoming either. He was only offput by the pretty terrible behavior

[@cid10bea]

love how she instantly recognizes “the girl from hunger games” BUT NOT SNOW HIMSELF RIGHT BESIDE HER

[@UhOhHereWeGo]

When he touches her hand and helps her up into the carriage it’s telling and odd because in their time, touching skin on skin between men and women was not done. You would only assist a person when wearing gloves. That kind of contact would be immediately noticed.

[@Milichay]

Fun fact. The original movie ends with her father giving his blessing. The scene of Lizzy and Mr. Darcy after the wedding and kiss was made just for the USA. It's called the "American ending".

When Matthew McFayden auditioned, he came in to read with Keira Knightley. They did the first proposal scene. They nailed everything about it, and improvised the lean-in for a potential kiss before the final line. The director loved that addition, and included it in the filmed take.

[@sewmuchjoy]

After Mr. Darcy says, "...even on occasion your father" the rumble of thunder was real!

[@myheartwillstopinjoy8142]

​@sewmuchjoy wow no way! That's kinda amazing considering how intentional it felt for the thunder to go with that line. It's like even the weather loves pride and prejudice lol

[@sewmuchjoy]

@@myheartwillstopinjoy8142 I know! The thunder fits perfectly! The look on Lizzie's face, after he says that and then the thunder rumbled; oh my. She could understand the impropriety of her sisters and mother, but for him to include her father whom she adores...Mr. Darcy had gone too far. This scene was so well done!

[@hana3703]

Technically speaking, Wickham and Lydia run away together. He has no intentions of marrying her, he just likes to "have fun" with her and if he decided to throw her away, she'll be dead basically and it'll bring more shame to Bennet family. Mr. Darcy helped them to get married as a damage control because it'll be more embarrassing if you away with a man who has no intention of marrying you than to run away with a man who wants to marry you. This also could be considered as kidnapping tho. Back in this era, guys would woo a heiress into eloping with them or forcefully take them to marry them. With this, the man automatically get all of his wifes money and property.

[@papercup2517]

And, of course, not only shame for the family but serious real world consequences: the end of any of the other sisters' chances of 'marrying well' - if at all. They would all be hopelessly tainted socially by Lydia's escapade. And if one of them didn't manage to marry either Mr Collins or someone else well-to-do, they would all be in the most dire circumstances, since the family home was entailed to be inherited by Mr Collins when Mr Bennett died, which would leave the surviving family homeless - and with no prospects of marriage to save them. By paying Mr Wickham handsomely to marry Lydia, Mr Darcy is saving not just Lydia's and the family's honour and social standing, but saving them all, including his beloved Elizabeth, from future destitution..

[@gracexcon]

This movie has such a chokehold on me. I love the Colin Firth version too, as it's so perfectly true to the book (aside from the lake scene), but the cinematography and the soundtrack of this movie are so stunning and capture the soul of the story so well. These things combined with Keira Knightly and Matthew McFayden's sizzling chemistry make this movie feel almost like a magic trick. It hits me right in my fluttery little girl's heart. And I also cry at the scene at the end between Lizzie and her father. Their relationship is the sweetest thing.

[@sewmuchjoy]

My thoughts exactly!!!!!

[@SchulzEricT]

25:00 He came in abruptly because he's socially awkward. Probably had to psych himself up and subsequently didn't enter smoothly. And he came in to converse with Elizabeth because she told him he needed to practice. Every time she criticizes him, in pretty much the next scene [he's in] he makes an attempt to rectify it. It's pretty cool. (Not sure you picked up on that. Even if not on first watch, maybe on edit? But just in case you didn't... next time you watch it - presuming you do; a presumption I feel relatively safe making - watch for it.)

[@SchulzEricT]

I'm not a big RomCom guy, but this is pretty damn good. Also: - "Clueless" and "10 Things I Hate About You" I assume the reason they transcend the genre - are more than just your typical RomCom - is because they're based on classic works (Emma and Taming of the Shrew, respectively), so there's much more going on than is typical in your average RomCom - "The Princess Bride" more than just a RomCom; maybe the greatest movie of all-time? - "Mr Right" an underrated gem. Like "Grosse Pointe Blank" and maybe no other movie, a true Action RomCom; Mr Right is Sam Rockwell's best role, IMO, because he's at his most fun, most silly, most weird... most Rockwelliest. Anna Kendrick is in it too. I'm not a big fan (I don't dislike her either, I'm pretty neutral on her) but it's really surprising to me that a movie with her in it - such a fun movie at that - seemed to fly under the radar the way it did. It might just be those 5 or 6 (if we're including "Grosse Pointe Blank")... none others come to mind. Other than maybe also "Wimbledon", which really isn't anything special but something about it really appeals to me. Paul Bettany and Kristen Dunst both can have chemistry with anybody, so it's no surprise they are great together. Also, Bettany's best friend is played by Nicolai Coster-Waldau (sp? Jamie Lannister) and brother by James McAvoy... it was before either got too big (a little bigger and their parts would've been expanded; bigger yet and they wouldn't have signed on to that movie in those roles in the 1st place) but it enhances the experience when you recognize, and like, the other actors in it, I think, even if they don't do much.

[@SchulzEricT]

Alright... speaking of great father/daughter relationships: not sure if you've seen the tv show "Veronica Mars", but if not, maybe you should check it out. A really interesting, sometimes fun, sometimes funny, pretty much always entertaining (for the first 3 seasons and a movie) show... Keith Mars used to be sheriff, is now a PI, his daughter Veronica works kind of answering phones at the office after school, each episode has an episodic mystery while each season has a season-long mystery (for the first two; the second was split into 2 separate halves, I assume because the writers' strike threw it into disarray)... there's a lot going on in the show but their relationship is really the heart of the show, IMO. Not sure if you do, or are going to, watch tv shows for your reaction videos, but even if you don't, I think you may enjoy watching it off-channel.

If I was Keira Knightley and I had Matthew McFadden kissing my face and murmuring to me like that I simply would have fallen in love with him on set.

[@jahughes478]

What’s crazy is she ended up dating the guy who plays Wickham.

[@mortimerbrewster3671]

Even if she did fall in love with him, when this was filmed he was in a relationship with his future wife (or may have married already, depending on the dates of filming) who he's been married to since. I'd say, he was pretty much too much in love to see Keira as a love interest.

The pillow crush at the end is SO accurate lol, even after the 372747th watch 🤣

The hand thing is my favourite thing in any romance movie ever

[@Feethei]

If you ever have 5 hours to spare and a hankering for more the bbc pride and prejudice miniseries is perfect. I have seen it at least 30 times. The movie has to skip quite a bit character building and subtlety due to time constraints, in the miniseries you get to know everyone so much better.

[@veravevi]

This movie was my introduction to Pride and Prejudice (and Jane Austen in general). I was in college when it came out and my roommate and I went to see it together. We were positively GIDDY for hours afterwards. 😁 It's one of my all-time favorite comfort films. I know a lot of people complain that it's not completely accurate to the book, but I think it does a good job of hitting all the main story beats and the general vibe of the story is very much there, which is the important thing IMO. Plus it's freaking GORGEOUS. Definitely a good choice for Valentine's Day.

[@ariadnamontiel546]

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE HAND THING!!! Skin to skin physical touch between unmarried people was HIGHLY frown upon and discouraged, so when he touched her hand it was like making out almost, that's why she's like ??? and he's like !!!!

[@KathrynElizabethJaneway]

The funniest part of that hand exchange was that no one else even noticed. 😂

[@hichembarrak]

Beautiful reaction. Loved it! I watched Pride & Prejudice (the 2005 version) about 6 or 7 times and still discover new things every single time. For example, I found out that, talking about "prejudice", it was Lizzie who was prejudiced right from the start. Remember: "quizzical brows", "the miserable half" etc... So she judged Mr Darcy and put hm in a "frame" before even speaking to him.

[@sewmuchjoy]

Right! So the title is "Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth" :)

[@SS-ui7by]

I believe Lizzie represents pride while Mr Darcy represents prejudice, but in the vein of the ending, ofc they're similar as well. As in, he has pride as well and she has a bit of prejudice, as you explained, too.

[@crimnymsin]

"This man is ruining all expectations I had of love." The MO of Mr Darcy. 🤣

[@RandomSubjects]

I don't know what it is about Pride and Prejudice but whether it's this movie, the series or the book - I end up in happy tears. The themes and story are not groundbreaking but it's just so well written and the characters are so well constructed that it speaks to our hearts.

[@tracy4290]

And, to a certain extent, it's not groundbreaking *now* because it was groundbreaking when it was written. *Now* everyone is trying to emulate it!

[@SS-ui7by]

It was groundbreaking back then though. Pride and prejudice is the blueprint of enemies 😊to lovers

[@mandmified17]

I’m so glad you noticed the film work and cinematography! It’s part of what makes this adaptation so special imo ❤

[@riacalitz14]

I adore this movie and the score!!!! I am going to enter church on "Dawn" (the melody that Georgiana was playing on the pianoforte)when I get married....it's one of the most romantic melodies I've ever heard!!!

[@fantastischfish]

With the hand-touching thing *when he helps her into the carriage): men and women were not supposed to touch with bare skin. Ladies always wore gloves if they were going to balls etc where there would be dancing. That he takes hold of her ungloved hand is quite a risque move.

[@shannanigansisme]

I really think you'd like the 90s version. It's much longer, but extremely watchable! It answers a lot of questions this version leaves you with.

I loooove so much this movie . It was the first movie that melted my heart without kissing ( here in South America and Australia the movie finishes with the fathers approval ) and that was enough to my heart 😊.

Absolutely love your honest and sincere reactions (especially the pillow scrunching squee moments). Huge fan of the book and both the 1995 and 2005 adaptations for different reasons. Beyond the gorgeous cinematography and score, this version shows Darcy's change in attitude and behavior so well that you really end up rooting for him by the end.

[@monio.9444]

You might also love "Becoming Jane". It's about Jane Austen and the events in her life that inspired her to write Pride and Prejudice.

[@dianakirsch8029]

You should also watch the Ang Lee version of Sense & Sensibility 😊. If you like P&P you will also like this one 😊

[@joliecolie]

This adaptation has grown on me over time. But if you want to get a true feel of the whole story, the 1995 BBC mini series is perfection.

[@AdamNisbett]

Yep, I think the extra length of the miniseries scares away reactors as virtually nobody chooses that one, but apart from the beautiful cinematography in the 2005 version, I like the 1995 version better. It feels like the real life version while this seems like the abridged stylized version.

[@KathrynElizabethJaneway]

​@@AdamNisbett while it's been a few years since I've watched the series, I'd say they had just a touch too much time on their hands - there is a bit of filler here and there, and while I don't remember the exact scenes the most notable one is ofc the lake scene.

[@tinaaikaa77]

Oh, I love this! I hope you would check Sense and sensibility from 1995 also. Its a good adaptation with so many great english actors.

[@jenniferlilith7310]

I enjoyed seeing you discover this story so much! I cried all over again, and I’ve seen it at least 100 times. I’ve read all of Jane Austen’s books and a few of them multiple times, as well as some fan fiction. Seen at least two other screen adaptations. To see someone watch and really appreciate this film with no prior knowledge of the story is such a gift. 💝

[@milbert-naymheeler1979]

The 5 hour PBS version is absolutely amazing. The actors playing Miss Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy are wonderfully perfect. With more time to develop the story it is that much better. No need to review it, but for your own enjoyment I highly recommend it.

[@aligoam2]

You mean BBC?

[@trollnystan]

Although there are parts of this movie I love, I love the 1995 BBC miniseries more. Perhaps because it was my first proper introduction to Jane Austen, but there's something about it that just hits right for me. The 2005 adaptation feels more like it was based on something from the Brontë sisters, which is ironic as Charlotte Brontë famously considered Austen's books "a carefully-fenced, highly cultivated garden with neat borders and delicate flowers" but without real passion. But yeah, Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth will always be MY Elizabeth and Darcy 😆 Oh and the part where he helps her into the carriage at Netherfield after Jane is better, he touches her bare hand when he does so which is something that was rather risqué at the time--she should be gloved. So to them it's very intimate, hence her reaction during and his reaction afterwards.

The 1995 BBC version is much closer to the book and is by far my favorite. The book is great and has much more humor than you would expect.

[@anniestrooo]

One of the most underrated things is how much humor Austen included in her novels (especially the sarcasm!)

[@scapevelocity]

I love the BBC version for its length and the way it shows things with such subtlety that I didn't know what was happening until after the fact. On rewatch of that version, which I've done many times since, I saw how carefully the actors portrayed their thoughts without any words. Funnily enough, the two actors who played Darcy in these versions performed together in a recent WW2 film called Operation Mincemeat. It a much more accurate and more convoluted version of an earlier film called The Man Who Never Was. I enjoy the original film more, it the way that true history isn't nearly as satisfying a story as what we get once Official Secrets get declassified.

[@19Rena96]

Pride and Prejudice is my favorite book of all time and i've read it countless times but i can't get into the 1995 version. I don't see any chemistry between Jennifer Ehle and Collin Firth and it's so painfully slow. The chemistry, the cinematography, the music and the other characters make the 2005 version so much more enjoyable to me and if i want the story in it's entirety i just read the book. Edit: Spelling

[@nealm6764]

Shocking that a 5-hour miniseries could be closer to the book than an 80-minute theatre-released movie that has to appeal to a wider audience than just the book readers. They are both really good in their own way.

I saw a behind the scenes video. The opening of the movie the book Lizzy is reading is Pride and Prejudice last chapter the names are changed. The ball dance scene - I didn't notice it the first time I watched the movie, when they stop arguing and dance, Darcy and Elizabeth are alone. Then at the end they are surrounded by the other dancers. And the end when Darcy is on the cat walk in the field they had to wave a red puffer jacket so Matthew Macfadyen the actor could see since he wasn't wearing contacts. Also Matthew Macfadyen just won a Golden Globe and Emmy for his role in Succession as Tom Wambsgans totally different role

[@dudieb]

I love this movie and I enjoyed your reaction. If you like this then you would probably like the 1995 movie Sense And Sensibiliy. A steller cast and Emma Thompson won the Academy Award for best adapted screenplay. You will see a very young Kate Winslet. It is one of my favorites.

[@rowanjoy419]

Now Emma 2020 because I demand it. 😂

[@Elmerphant]

Recommendation: I always watch this movie and then watch the 3 part "Death Comes to Pemberly" series. They compliment each other perfectly. Because they show you Lizzy & Darcy as a married couple and how perfect they are (even in the face of potential ruin). They are such a great team. Obviously it's a different cast but they are SO GOOD! And you get to see Georgiana in love! It's so cute. So yeah I always watch this "Pride & Prejudice" & "Death Comes to Pemberly" as a marathon lol. It's so satisfying! *spoiler: it ends happily. I can't watch stuff that doesn't end well for the people you root for lol.

[@teapots_and]

12:06 for the hand hold and ~hand flex~ (a very iconic thing in the p&p 2005 fandom i'd say:D), i always look at it from the period perspective; i'd say it was uncommon for women and men to touch each other in any way when they weren't close like family or spouses...here it's of course a thing of etiquette, like, he's helping her into the carriage, but it's still the first touch they share and the closest they were at that point in the movie, physically. so the **tension** is there! and they both feel it (i think someone also said that usually they'd both have gloves in that era, so it wouldn't be as close of a touch as it was, and thats why it was so special?) idk if im explaining it well but yeah its such a universally favourite scene that i wanted to:D also i love how you picked up on the tension between them right away i just love it sm in this version of the story:D it's a rlly cool dynamic

Then they showed Darcy, walking away, and his hand "exploded" with excitement (on the DL, of course), or whatever that was, haha! That was a Love-Boom for the two of them (although Lizzie didn't realize it at the time). Well played, Mr. Darcy!!

"I could not have parted with you, my Lizzie, to anyone less worthy" --- I cry every time!!! I watch this film about 2-3 times a year, usually with my daughter, and we love it so much. We're total Regency-geeks!

[@phoenixfire124]

Jane Austen wrote some great stories. I fell in love with Pride and Prejudice as a kid. Then Emma and Sensibility. After that came Mansfield Park and Northhanger Abbey. But the one I find most interesting in terms of the characters and the complexity of the relationship is Persuasion. It has become my new favorite... although admittedly (and ironically) I had to overcome my Prejudice of what I was led to believe the story was in order to finally listen and fall in love with it. If you are interested in more classic loves stories, you can't go wrong with Jane Austen. But you might also like Jane Eyre. It's more of a gothic romance though, so it's a very different feel to this movie.

You should definitely watch the BBC series.

Loved your reaction!

[@juliewagner3023]

Love this movie, great reaction! Lots of people have already shared many fun facts, so I’ll add a few more (I love this movie so much, I used to watch with Director’s Commentary to learn as much about it as possible!) - The actors who played Jane and Bingley dated for a while long before this movie, so the proposal scene between them was crazy good acting as Rosamund enthusiastically accepted a proposal from her ex 🫠 - Donald Sutherland covers his mouth a lot in the scene where he gives Lizzie his blessing because he has super straight and whitened teeth, which are anachronistic to the time period and he was self-conscious about that lol - The director’s favorite shot was Lizzie, Jane, and Charlotte craning their necks to see Bingley, Darcy, and Caroline’s entrance to the first ball lol. - The dance between Darcy and Lizzie at the Netherfield ball was filmed over and over and they were having a beast of a time editing it, and then they found that one-take shot that did everything they were trying to edit together, so they were like HA let’s just use that one then 🥰 that’s one of my favorite shots in the movie - Later on, the same director (Joe Wright) did Atonement (also with Keira Knightley and the same composer!) and had another Incredible one-shot scene that lasted like 5 minutes, it was so cool. I could go on and on, I love everything about this movie so much and I love seeing people experience it for the first time!

The 1995 version was a British miniseries, not a movie.

[@toriwalton4873]

[@RobinTig]

[@JLamstudio]

Have you seen “THE HOLIDAY,” with Kate Winslet? Another excellent film

[@benjamine6703]

A very good reaction video. Thank you!

[@MMILYLP]

Lets gooooo im always hype for a p&p 2005 reaction

[@hajarjbiri]

This is my all-time favorite movie. I lost count of how many times I've rewatched it.

[@brabbit736]

Oh to be watching this for the first time ❤❤❤ I am living that through you

[@uggggggghhhhh]

Omg this movie never fails to give me all the butterflies + its visually stunning

[@TheToscanaMan]

Thank you... not many have reacted to this movie. It is top notch as is the book.

[@maiam9371]

Thanks for this reaction! I would highly recommend Sense and Sensibility as well - my other favorite Jane Austen movie :)

[@bradleymillen4974]

If you watched this you have missed the superior 6 hour series of 1994. Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth. Best screen adaptation.

[@tohorateamaau7531]

Definetly one of my favorite too❤❤❤❤

[@mortimerbrewster3671]

Colin Firth plays Mr Darcy closer to the book - arrogant and fully aware of his "worth." Macfayden had never read the book and interpreted the script as Mr Darcy being shy. Having seen both, I can understand how Firth's is more realistic to the status of the man who overseas an estate of great wealth and has a family of nobility but I love Macfayden's shy, introverted nature.

[@rebeccamilton8687]

This is my absolute favorite romance. The movie is done so perfectly and it has so many layers and so many things in the background. And it’s so so beautiful and sweet

[@kylebeckley194]

Jane Austen could spin a magical tale. My favorite movie

[@lisawall9068]

I agree. Proposals should be private.💕

[@maryleecarlin9390]

I believe there are 5 Little Women adaptations, one with Katherine Hepburn, one with Elizabeth Taylor, Winona in the 90s, PBS one, and the Greta Gerwig one.

[@Zahraa91-]

I watch this movie from 2006-2024 my favourite movie ever 😢❤

[@frankb3551]

The two actors who played Mr Bingley (Simon Woods) and Jane (Rosamund Pike) were actually together as boyfriend and girlfriend at University (Oxford). Keira Knightley said in an interview that Matthew Macfadyen was completely irresistible.

[@marigam]

Can you make a playlist with your movie reactions because this was lovely to watch💜

[@GregInHouston2]

I like this movie. Might I suggest "Lost in Austen" as something you will enjoy. It is a series that has a 21st century girl taking Elizabeth's place. I would suggest another I recently watched, "An American in Austen". Another 21st century woman interacting with the Bennets,
