Truly beautiful.

Rating: 10/10 (29 March 2019)

Starting off with Mr. Darcy; Matthew Macfadyen has definitely brought a whole new significance to the character, portraying the arrogant, socially awkward but also very dazzling leading male role. Despite his offensive pride and selfish disdain, Macfadyen shows the accessible side of Darcy, by depicting his vulnerable and fragile character behind his stiff manners. Thus, his portrayal makes his love for Elizabeth more believable. Moving on to Elizabeth Bennet; the female protagonist, is portrayed by the very successful Keira Knightley, who has many more leading female roles in the period movies such as; Anna Karenina, The Imitation Game, Atonement, The Duchess, A Dangerous Method etc., making her very experienced on the portrayal of such women. She brings out different aspects of the character while giving her the adequate sense of humor with the lively intelligence and sharp-minded wit. Her performance in the movie makes the chemistry between Elizabeth and Darcy much more affectionate. Starting off with the pride of Darcy and the prejudice of Elizabeth, the transition of abomination to ardent love is reflected so elegantly, with the shots from the rain scene, to the breathtaking sunrise, that it is impossible to resist the romance.
As for the production and direction of the movie, it is adapted perfectly. The cinematography captures the environment with such wide and spectacular frames, which makes the movie, even more, prettier with the gorgeous scenery.
All in all, Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorite books and the movie is beautifully made, reflecting the book accurately as the brilliant classic it is. I can easily say that the story itself, the actors and the characters have ''bewitched me body and soul and I love, I love, I love it.''
