Pride and Prejudice (2005) is a MASTERPIECE | Video Essay

[@minus21334]

we need longer video just to talk about how darcy and elizabeth literally speaks with their eyes alone

[@trinitytay430]

wait…. true 😳

[@johannaabutan517]

@@trinitytay430 Girl you didn't make it long, this is the shortest, yet most informative video I've ever seen.

[@dmw0077]

I've seen this movie at least 100 times, and it is still my go-to movie if I can't decide what else to watch. But I never give much thought to what time period the story is supposedly set because the themes and emotions presented are so timeless. Even if a person hated period movies, I don't how they could hate this one. It is just that good.

[@trinitytay430]

exactly!

[@sitinabilahothman3522]

Omg me too!! Never get tired of this movie

[@runawayshay6409]

I love this movie. Every shot looks like a painting. I only wish that the Pemberley scenes included more of the dialogue in the book. It is when Lizzie really falls for Darcy.

[@SelinHanim]

Actually, it’s the other way around. Darcy has too much pride and Elizabeth has too much prejudice (judging Mr. Darcy for being too vain).

[@emmapierskalla7622]

I can see it going both ways honestly!

[@issatowers2934]

honestly, I think both characters exhibit both traits throughout the book. for example. darcys pride can be shown through his first proposal, and his prejudice is shown as he is quick to judge any newer character he meets (such as lizzy) or when he is judging someone socially. for elizabeth, her prejudice is shown as you have said, and her pride is shown as she continues to shun darcy post proposal. she doesn't really let go of her pride and let her guard down until pemberley, and still, some of her guard is still up. darcy wounded her ego, and it takes a while for her to heal. although darcy exhibits more pride than prejudice, and lizzy more prejudice than pride, both characters are at their own faults. i think that's why the title of the novel is so clever. it gets the reader to determine which character is which, but in reality, its both.

[@Cosmic_Solace]

Both have these traits. Darcy is prejudiced against Jane Bennett when he breaks her and Bingley up because "ewwww Mr and Mrs Bennett are so crass and uncouth". Lizzie is proud because she defends Mr Wickham to show Darcy in a bad light. It's a barrage of miscommunication from both parties. They are made for each other.🤣

[@publicdefenceservice]

Yeah i was thinking the same but i realize like others say it really goes both ways

[@RED-my9hl]

Id argue they both have pride and prejudice

[@marianakebaso]

pride and prejudice is one of my favorite book to movie adaptations. SO GOOD. I'm rereading the book rn and the directors managed to capture a lot of key moments from the book while also leaving out fluff but still keeping it a very slow burn film? I have nothing but praise.

[@danyramos8139]

What I would like to say is that in the movie they made Darcy more awkward (which I love and stan awkward Darcy) but in the characterization of the book he *is* very proud. He really thought at the beginning of the book that he should not associate with Lizzy because she is of lower social standing. In this movie they play up the "both have pride and prejudice" but Darcy in the book is very much proud, condescending, and altogether insufferable to be with. And that's what makes his character growth seem more satisfying because he went from a privileged condescending prick to a genuinely good person who loves Lizzy very much and actively does the work to become better.

[@lucia.b.]

Yes, that is what I thought all along, but couldn't put into words, thank you! Darcy actually WORKING on changing himself, because he realised his flaws and honestly communicating that to Elisabeth is something I really like about the original story. I think it is so nice to see him genuinely try and show what was in him all along. It is also so interesting that in the first part of the book you get to know Darcy only through Elisabeths prejudice and live through that surprising reveal of his true character together with her.

[@devinthunderstrike]

"...sitting in her room, like outside of her house or something..."

[@trinitytay430]

is that something I said haha

[@marissagrijalva9626]

This film sealed my love for the enemies to lovers trope… and the Star Wars comparisons… ✨magnificent✨ great video

[@jacksonfl]

Greetings from Jacksonville Florida USA. Nice job. I never watched this movie until recently, and I was blown away. All of its elements were so powerful. And, the acting was some of the best that I ever have seen, almost all by using the eyes. Kiera was simply radiant in every scene.

[@melly2094]

Feedback: this is a truly amazing video and I can't believe it's your first of the kind! Continue doing this, you'll do great 😊

[@3landii]

Dear KZbin algorithm: this video is excellent. And by excellent, I mean that every viewer that does ANY search related to the 2005 version of Pride and Prejudice should be served up this video in their follow-up recommendations. I've been watching PnP videos like crazy recently - probably a few dozen of them over the last couple of weeks - and you JUST NOW got around to recommending this video to me. For shame! You can do better, KZbin... It's as though you don't even recognize great content...

[@suzannebeinart4359]

This is also one of my favorite films!!! Love it!

Well done! You put a lot of thought and care into this video essay. 👍

[@fatematawakuli3664]

Your video Essay is soooooo good i cant believe it. i wish I was able to make something like this my English teacher would've flipped and would've been so proud.

[@KatyMac24]

When you compared Mr. Darcy to Edward. I got offended and mad, because I couldn't find a flaw on your argument. Still can't , I just can't handle the truth.

[@trinitytay430]

hahaha I’m pretty sure darcy was actually an influence in creating edwards character. Stephanie Meyer is a huge lit geek and most of twilight is all based on old literary themes and tropes she loved !

[@zachs8765]

i can play "spinning life of daydreams" (song when Lizzy is on the tire swing and the world /time is passing, as well as "dawn"...but "liz on top of the world" is one i might ever get down...very busy song...

[@zaira9863]

Thank you so much for this video, i'm writing a review of this movie for my literature class and it's so helpful, you explained every thought on my head perfectly 💗💗

[@flourchylde]

WOW! JUST WOW!. Fabulous analysis.

[@maisysinclair]

needed a tw for that reylo photo i repressed the trauma of episode 9. other than that LOVED this video and subbed :-)

[@paulburns3861]

Love the movie and the musical score. There are a couple of flaws, which can easily be overlooked, as Emma Thompson was enlisted to save the script late in the game. Colonel Forster was never introduced, and the uncle Mr. Gardner could easily be confused for him. Secondly, when Lizzie and the Gardners visited Pemberly and Lizzie ran into Darcy, she just walked back to the Rose and Crown, leaving the Gardner's at Pemberly. Magically, the Gardners were back eating at the Rose and Crown when Lizzie made it back, like nothing happened. One thing I want to know is how the scene with the mirror was done. After the bad proposal, Lizzie reflects while staring at the mirror and sees the image of Darcy as he drops off the rebuttal. No camera can be seen. How did he (Joe Wright) do that?

[@finarakhima1327]

You may ask Joe Wright directly. He's a master cinematography 😊

[@laneandrew6167]

Wow, great video here! I'm a P&P fan and you really show a depth of understanding here. My only comment is that every time, culture and society has flaws, limitations, realities. It almost sounded as if back then things were bad, but now, oh now, life is fair and without realities. It's not. Lol.

I really think you shouldn't make a speed round. I'm here for your opinion and your analysis is great, I'd watch it for as long as it should tale for you to say all there is to be said. Trust me, videos up to 15 min will not be avoided by anyone. The video is great, thank you

[@alexius23]

You articulated so many of thoughts, about the film. So many of scenes were so incredibly shot, the score is on my iPad & listen to when I am taking long walks. The film was so well cast… As to the TV version. At about 4 hours & 45 minutes….it is a slower character development but one still well done. I watched it when it first came out & made my own VHS copy. Upon request I made copies for several friends. My Mother lent her copy to a friend. That friend & her husband sat down to watch a “little” & in the end the watched it in one sitting going to bed at 1:30 am. You can enjoy & respect both versions but in my heart of hearts I like the Kiera Knightly performance better. Of course, Lawrence Olivier (1940) is a mighty Mr Darcy.

[@corbingross919]

i just wish the 2005 one was 8 hours

[@X00000370]

Good summary...

[@erieluvie0905]

I'm a couple of years too late but I have watched both this 2005 film and the 1995 miniseries but I prefer the film. In my opinion, the 2005 version has the better acting, better costume, better music, better cinematography, and the emotions better portrayed. It's obviously less true to the book because of the 2hr time constraint compared to the 1995 6hr version. But it's higher quality in everything else.

[@aronnov]

Story is so good because she’s the opposite of a girl boss. She actually has flaws.

[@SP-yl1qz]

Quick question. Do you think it's okay for a straight guy to admit to liking this movie, or is that something that I should keep to myself. I feel like it's too much of a dark secret - at least to tell other guys, but I feel like I could at least disclose this information to yourself, without too much shame. What do you think?

[@kavyac659]

be proud of it, you have good taste in cinema

[@finarakhima1327]

Feel free to admit. It's not even a crime 😄 don't worry, a lot of men and women are liking this movie. It is indeed a masterpiece. So, don't feel shy about that only because you're a man.

[@armellebiampamba4257]

Most women would appreciate a man who has no shame in loving P&P (know this first-hand since two of my friends are in a relationship and both love P&P)

[@greywell2982]

Jane Austen is a great writer, I personally love history and romance. She create wonderful characters that feel alive.

I watched this movie for the first time a few days ago. I am a firm believer in romance and I love this storyline. Does anyone know more storyline’s similar to this one? I have searched online and can’t seem to find one that has the same effect (:

[@andresquesnel1350]

Great video but no way is this the definition of a slow burn. It's no modern Marvel movie but I never felt it slow. If this is the definition of a slow burn then what is Drive my Car or Portrait of a Lady on Fire or so many others?

[@Mining_code]

My syllabus forced me to discover this and I'm glad that it turned out one of my favourite Novel My whole degree is worth it bcz this is in the syllabus 😆

I havent watched pride and prejudice now i absolutely have to😅 also i think this is done soooo welll (the vid)😍❤

[@trinitytay430]

thank you so much!!! let me know what you think of it!!!

[@glendodds3824]

This is a very good film but it does not portray the story as accurately as the 1995 mini-series or the 1980 adaptation either.

[@juliacorrea5004]

(Unrelated, when will you make a twilight video? It would be nice to see a video essay by a *talented film critic* who likes the movie)

[@trinitytay430]

you sure know how to flatter! I’ll start planning a video on twilight !!!

[@kikk101]

Very modern adaptation of novel, Elizabeth behaving like a magpie - very aggressive and all actors look not and behave not like 18th century English ladies and gentlemen. Music is outstanding. English version 1995 is perfectly set in the time of novel.
