Okay so the guy who plays Darcy I wouldn’t usually find handsome, but when you finally get to know him in the movie he just becomes so so so handsome to me like yeeeeessss please

[@bartahedgar4754]

You're totally right! I always hear people commenting on couples like "I don't know what he/she sees in her/him, he/she is much prettier" but that's just the example of how people don't always get attracted to someone just because of one's looks. When I first met this guy (later he became my first boyfriend), I wasn't attracted to him physically, but he turned out to be so charming and caring, and in my eyes became much more handsome in every way possible. Our relationship eventually came to an end but still, he is a great person and we had a fun time together.

[@katie5998]

@@TheDancerMacabre No, Stockholm Syndrome is when you kidnap someone, and hold them hostage. The captor will basically tell a sob story and win over the victim who has been kidnapped, and the victims will soon learn to sympathize (and maybe love) their captor. The term is derrived from a bank robbery that took place in Stockholm. Where several people robbed a bank, and basically adapted some type of toxic relationship with the hostages. So, when the bank robbery was over, none of the hostages would testify because they felt sympathy for their captors despite being mistreated and (obviously) traumatized.

[@elisabethn2893]

Someone more eloquent than me once said that the reason everyone dreams of a Mr Darcy isn't that he's rich or handsome, it's that he Listens to Lizzie and tries to Do Better.

[@summerrose8110]

@@LA_HA Yes. Read the book. Elizabeth started off with her prejudice when Darcy said that comment about her and then her prejudices grew when Wickham told her some misinformation about Darcy, regarding their falling out, then she was mad at Darcy when he ruined Jane's chance at happiness with Bingley, so eventually she lets go of her prejudice and opens her heart more and sees the real Darcy.

[@LA_HA]

@@summerrose8110 Yes, I remember that. But, I guess what I'm wondering is if her feelings for Darcy are real. Some of her remarks and the time markers for her changes are sus. Like visiting Darcy's estate at Pemberley and falling in love with it, thinking about how she could've been mistress. The convo with Jane admitting that's when she started to change her mind about Darcy. Lizzie's arrogance was such that I wonder if she didn't become competitive after Jane the beautiful one gets a rich husband in Bingley; and even plain jane Charlotte had a good arrangement with Collins, though Lizzie turned him down; and Wickham sudden running off with the red-headed heiress and then Lydia. Plus, a few other instances in the book/movies/series make me wonder if she changed her Mind rather than her Heart. haha What do you think? Is it possible?

[@summerrose8110]

@@LA_HA This why you need to read the book first. Jane Austen gives more detail on Elizabeth's thoughts and how she feels wrong for being so prejudiced against Darcy. She almost feels at war with herself, because she thought he was a bad person. Although the truth is she was given some bad information on Darcy and that fueled her dislike of him, but when Darcy wrote that letter to her explaining his side, she now sees his perspective and opens her heart more to Darcy.

@4Freedom4All True but even so Mr Collins had plenty of people within his own party who he could have asked to introduce him to Mr Darcy, to do so like he did was seen as presumptuous. The TV series does a better job of showing the potential negative effects the various Bennets and Mr Collins have with their actions at Mr Bingley's ball.

[@G1NZOU]

@4Freedom4All Yeah I'd agree with that. I like how in the novel and the TV series Jane says that while Mr Collins might not be the most sensible, he's at least respectable and his marriage to Charlotte is a fairly suitable match. I think Austin does satirise Mr Collins slightly but also writes him with a little sympathy too, as the church was a respectable profession and she had her own family experiences with it. It's funny I was re-watching the TV series only last month with my mother and we both agreed the wet shirt swimming scenes with Mr Darcy were just unnecessary.

Yes, I read somewhere that they could only touch while dancing and that's why there were so many dances because that was the way men could courtship a woman.

According to the book another thing that is going on in his mind is that he realized that he liked Elizabeth more than what he thought and he already didn't want to like her, so when he saw that he couldn't control himself he is basically angry at himself for it. And that's why he convinces his friend to leave because he knew that if he stayed he wouldn't be able to fight it anymore. Basically he was scared.

[@noeliaorbe6775]

More or less...women could own property just fine, the problem was that families would often favour the male heir since he would be the one passing on the last name (and titles if he had one). The case of the bennet girls was a bit trickier. Some high class families (because yes, the bennetts were considered 2nd class citizents just like mr darcy, just didn't have the money or conections) had the "tradition" of declaring that their property could only be inherited by the males of that family (one of the bennet ancesters probably wanted to prevent the property to fall into another family name). So no house and land for them. However, had mr. Bennet been smarter with their finances and maybe tried to make money from the products in their land and such, he would have been able to leave that money to his dauthers. He just...acted like a rich noble man that spended his time on unprofitablle hobbies and hoped that his dauthers (at least the two eldest) would marry well.

[@soleil7259]

@4Freedom4All Looking into their living standards, wouldn't that imply, that the bennetts are part of 2nd class, since they were actually able, to have maids and stuff ? I thought upper first class would be high royalty and lower first class, royals lower in line of the crown. Second upper class people like aristocrates or mr. darcy, who is rich and has a very good and stable income. Lower upper class the bennetts and then third are the peasants and other workers and 4th would be the really poor people.

So he was planning in running and Lydia, who he had been stringing along as you realized, "made herself available". Literally like that, in the book. He never planned on running with her, he was just running and she was like "hey, can I come too?" and he was like "eh you might as well if u want" and there they went. Obviously, in Lydia's mind they were in love and always were going to marry, at some point, but he had no intentions of doing that, he was actually still planning on making himself some money by seducing and marrying some other rich girl. Of course then they were discovered and he was bought into marrying Lydia.

The last scene when they kissed was not included in Europe and the movie just ended after Mr. Bennet says "I'm quite at my leisure", I didn't even know that scene existed until I got the DVD and it was in the extras ;P Tbh I preferred it that way, when they didn't kiss, it just felt forced when I saw it afterwards :P Loved your reaction :D

[@whatreallymatters571]

I don't think it felt forced at all, it didn't feel unnatural or anything as their chemistry was still strong and it kind of gave a hint into what daily life would be like between them. It was just a different version for a different audience, both were good, it's just down to preference.

Nice, fun reaction to a really good movie. Darcy stood up suddenly like that when Lizzie arrived to visit Jane, because a gentleman was supposed to stand up the moment a lady entered the room, but he was so enthralled with watching her that he forgot, and then suddenly remembered. It was meant to indicate he was quite taken with her.

[@shelbymachado8712]

I would argue that the miniseries makes an intriguing choice to make Elizabeth and Darcy foils to one another in how they're filmed, how their dialogue is paired, things like that... which I think is quite true to the intent of Jane Austen in a lot of ways. But the 2005 movie I think was brilliantly cast and concentrated the emotion of the story very well. It arguably popularized "Darcy is awkward, not an asshole" compared to Firth's rendition in the miniseries which was definitely DECIDEDLY smug. I like them both for different reasons and frequently watch them back to back to compare them. Though I watch the 2005 edition without the American Theatrical Edit tacked on ending. I heavily dislike that bit.

[@Grimsded]

It's so weird sharing this girly crushy feel with everyone it's like that period of our lives is so short lived. It is fun to relive that through this movie though. :)

It was extra important in this family for the daughters to marry well since once the father died, Mr Collins was going to inherit their house & fortune. If none of them married rich, they each at least needed to marry well enough to not need family to help support them (we learn in the book that in the future Lydia relies on handouts from both Jane & Elizabeth because she & Wickham so poorly manage their money), in addition to one of them needing to marry well enough to support their mother who would be left with nowhere else to go once her husband died than a family member's house. The dad is a lot more likable here than he is in the book, where he mainly just insults his wife & daughter (except his favorite Lizzy) but is actually mainly the one responsible for their predicament since he never bothered to save up any money as a safety net for them or his wife so they wouldn't have to rely on the charity of family once he died.

Love this movie for a bite-size version of this story! Your reaction inspired me to rewatch it, which was very worth my time, thank you. Two longer versions that I highly recommend you watch, since you seemed to enjoy the romance between these two so much (but probably on your own time, no need to edit reactions to things so long unless you feel called to): -the BBC miniseries from the 90's is classic with good reason -The Lizzie Bennet Diaries is a modernized version right here on KZbin, framed as a vlog, which might sound weird but the acting is incredible, it even won an Emmy. The tension between Lizzie and Darcy is sizzling... to me it's the most attractive portrayal of Darcy's personality, which is saying something 'cause they're all hot... damn I'm convincing myself to rewatch it again now.

[@Luv2Dnce4]

Matthew Macfayden (Mr. Dracy) said, that he has not much in common with Mr. Darcy. I think he is lying a little bit and just humble, since when he met his actual wife, she was so mesmerized by him, she left her husband of 8 weeks for him.

[@nicoleshan6410]

[@dianakaz228]

Wickham didn’t run away with Lidia to marry her. He seduced her and she was a fool for running away with him without a formal proposal as she would be unable to marry anyone else beside him and shame her family. That’s why the favour Darci did to Elisabeth was so big and significant and probably was the biggest factor in swaying her feelings for him.

This is one of my all time favourite movies. Austen was a genius. About Caroline's (Bingley's sister) dress showing her shoulders, it was perfectly fine to show your shoulders and decolattage at evenings. Strangely, the "modesty" standards, specially regarding the female upper body, were much loser back then than ours nowadays, as breasts weren't sexualized. Daywear was much more modest and covered, but for evenings, you could show whatever much you wanted as long as it was in fashion :) historical fashion is fun

[@oOMaryAliceOo]

I enjoyed your comments and editing so much, I had to leave you a comment! 💕 It is my comfort movie. I can easily watch it back to back, cause it never fails to make me feel. By the way: That scene where Darcy storms in without knocking, and then comments on the house, was his first attempt to propose. He just couldn't muster up the courage, bless him. 😭 And also a fact that I just learned recently and I think you might appreciate as well: Mr. Darcy's character development is mirrored by his clothes. The outfits started off completely closed and stiff, and end with him coming out of the mist in that long wavy coat ✨
