Even though we're all reading the SAME words, they say different things to each of us. It's really kind of interesting. <br /><br />Yes, I totally understand how you feel--if I'd grown up watching P&P 1995, I think that I WOULD see it as the definitive portrayal. But as it turned out, I didn't see either movie until about eight years after reading the book for the first time--then, I watched BOTH movies within a couple weeks of each other (I know, crazy), and I was immediately drawn to P&P 05, because it just fit better with the ideas about the characters that I'd formed through reading the story.

I think if you grow up with a certain actor or actress playing the part of a character that's how you see them and for me that was the 1995 version and that's very much how I see the characters then. For me I feel that they line up very well with the book but I also have noticed that different characteristics of people stick out to different people. It just depends.

Colin Firth was definitely a better Darcy . . . although I personally thought Matthew Macfadyen really didn't do such a bad job. He was too shy, totally. But I loved how the scenes where he would get all tense and angry and talk through gritted teeth, cause that's something I could totally see the book-Darcy doing. I think Mr. Darcy is really supposed to be kind of shy and nervous and introverted--just not AS much as Macfadyen was. <br /><br />For me, Keira Knightley is and always will be Elizabeth Bennet, and the same goes for Jane Bennet and Rosamund Pike. I didn't think they were silly; I just more saw them as realistically young and jolly, if ya know what I mean. And I actually liked Keira's sauciness and outspokenness, because that really fits much better with my picture of Lizzy from the book. I'll be honest with you--when I watched P&P 1995, I found myself completely unable to BELIEVE that Jennifer Ehle was really Elizabeth Bennet. To me, she was just too calm and serene and mature and NICE. When I read Pride and Prejudice, Lizzy just doesn't come across as a "nice" character--especially not at the beginning.

And did I mention stupid? <br /><br />Just out of curiosity--what do you think of Pride and Prejudice 2005? Myself, I LOVE it, but I know lots of people don't, so I was just wondering where you stood on that one. :) Katie Hannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06818413749107653398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6295647504230837189.post-88446773833044063572015-07-09T22:30:04.387-05:002015-07-09T22:30:04.387-05:00Great answers Lois!

I haven't the faintest idea why (I haven't yet read his books), but for some reason it sounded like a girl-name to me. Weird. <br /><br />You watched the oldest surviving movie?! Wow! That's awesome:D<br /><br />Floor-length dresses are so elegant and great! But aw, I'm sure you don't have fat legs;) 'T'is but a figment of thy imagination, I'm sure:)Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03546655886492251059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6295647504230837189.post-27863761367961646142015-07-09T04:34:07.702-05:002015-07-09T04:34:07.702-05:00Oooooh how lovely!
