Synopsis

This version of Jane Austen's fiercely beloved novel has the daunting task of living up not only to the classic book, but also to the excellent 1995 miniseries of the same name. Yet 2005's PRIDE & PREJUDICE is up to the task, thanks to lively pacing, a witty script, an excellent cast, and clever direction from British newcomer Joe Wright. The surprisingly still-relevant story follows the five Bennet sisters as they deal with suitors and love, as their mother desperately schemes to marry them off advantageously. Sweet-tempered beauty Jane (Rosamund Pike) develops feelings for the equally amiable and extremely wealthy Mr. Bingley (Simon Woods), but forces conspire to keep them apart while Lizzie (Keira Knightley) finds herself first appalled by, but gradually drawn to, Bingley's aloof, intelligent, and socially awkward friend, Mr. Darcy (Matthew MacFayden). The movie, at just over two hours, is forced to cut and condense a number of the book's subplots, and at times it tries to heighten the drama of certain scenes. But, for the most part, it's as faithful to the spirit of the original as time and cinematic convention allow. The tremendous supporting cast includes Brenda Blethyn as Mrs. Bennet and Donald Sutherland as her wry, withdrawn husband; Jena Malone as teenage twit Lydia; Judi Dench, effortlessly haughty and imperious, as Lady Catherine de Bourg; and Tom Hollander, who steals every scene he's in as the ludicrously pompous and awkward Mr. Collins. The movie's script, adapted by Deborah Moggach, manages to be proto-feminist without becoming anachronistic and, like the novel, it is incisive about the class politics and gender inequalities of the day.

1.0 out of 5 stars Did they read the book?!, 5 Nov 2007
By Lindy (St. Helens) - See all my reviews
Absoloutely astounding...and not in a good way. Astounding that this film was ever allowed to be released. Any self respecting Austen fan will watch this and scoff at the miscasting, the location researcher's inadequate choices and the downright affront of the people who made this atrocity! I mean, did they even read the book? Now go home, get out the Andrew Davies DVD and know that all isn't that bad with the world.
Please note it got one star because they wouldn't let me get away with giving it none.

3.0 out of 5 stars i have to say... (its more like 3.5 stars), 3 Jun 2006
By poppy girl (in the clouds...) - See all my reviews
there is no doubt in my mind the characters in this movie are gorgeous. Unfortunetly, that about all that is good to say about it.

In Pride and Prejudice the novel, it was the development of the characters that captured our attention. In the movie however, it was too short to capture the true essance. Some of the dialogue stays true to the novel but it is all in vain.

What is most surprising is Lizzy in the novel was always a woman before her time; she had her pride and acted on her feelings. Unfortunetly due to the lack of time (i suppose) her witty remarks have changed her character into something similar to a girl of the 21 century. Im not saying evolution is bad, but the change in character is too dramatic.

And what happened to Mr. Dsrcy? he went from being debonair and mysterious because he ws quiet to an unfeeling person who showed No emotion at all. Frankly, if a person hadn't read the novel, they wouldn't have even figured out her like Elizabeth until he proposed.

I suppose if the movie hadn't had the name of Pride and Prejudice, it would have recieved better reviews, but this is Jane Austen and nothing but the best deserves the name.
