Pride and Prejudice

I know, being a big Jane Austen fan, you would have thought I had seen the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth already. But nope. Just saw the first part of it today on Masterpiece theatre. Good thing I didn't see it before I saw the Movie with Keira Knightly. I might not have liked that version as well as I do this one.

There are many differences in both movies. And I like that. I think it's amazing that you can have a book, and have many interpretations on it. I mean you'd think that they would be the same, but nope.

I love that the BBC version is longer, so we see different scenes in it that they didn't do in the movie. And I just love Colin Firth. :) Yes, he was SO made to play Mr. Darcy. I mean I love the guy that was in the movie, but I love Colin so much more!!

It's funny, Phil finally connected that they called Colin Mr. Darcy in Briget Jones movies because he played Mr. Darcy in this. LOL He still doesn't understand why I love this movie so much. LOL But I'm glad that he didn't get all huffy while I was watching it in the livingroom. I mean come on, you can only watch so much Law and Order. LOL

And he didn't realize that during that time period, women didn't inherit anything when their fathers died. I'm so glad times have changed!! ;) And he noticed that people gossiped a lot during that time.

Do you think that if Lizzy would have went to Mr. Darcy and asked him outright what had happened, would her opinion have changed? Or do you think she was still so upset with his comment about her that it just clouded her opinion of him? I mean during that time period, I guess it wouldn't be ladylike to go up to a man and ask him what happened. That's why there was so much miscommunication. But it sure would have stopped some of the problems. LOL
