Enjoyed very much

Rating: 8/10 (7 December 2005)

I don't know why there is all the British fuss over the ending. It's a film it's not a photographed transcript of the novel. I wanted them to get together and declare their love for each other because the entire movie, and the novel for that matter, was inexorably moving that way. I felt that the faults of the characters were their real faults, and not the fault of scripting, acting or directing. I liked the settings; the smallness of most of the interiors of the houses was very real to me. It makes me wonder whether one could do a real, complete but modern Pride and Prejudice. Of course all the Regency scenery was terrific. The photography was beautiful, the close-ups nicely done, the family interactions enjoyable.
