You will forget Pride and Prejudice when you see this!

Rating: 9/10 (4 May 2008)

You will forget Pride and Prejudice when you see Joe Wright and Keira Knightley in this movie. This would have to be one of the most beautiful adaptations of a book ever made. It kept to the storyline really well but not so much that the director was terrified of making even the slightest change. The cinematography and the music score in this are beautiful and clever. The flashbacks are great and less confusing than they were in the novel by Ian McEwan and the acting was great. I cannot stand Keira Knightley but she was amazing in this movie and so was James Macavoy who shows he doesn't always have to be remembered as a faun. However the three actors that really steel the show are the three Brionys. Saoirse Ronan was fantastic as the confused child who believes what she tells herself. Then Romola Garai who I think was the best really shoving emotion into her lines. Then Vannessa Redgrave who is on for about five seconds but still nearly brought me to tears in the way she executed her dialogue. If you see this movie I promise you, you will never forget it. This should have won Best Picture!
