Great, Romantic movie!

Rating: 10/10 (10 December 2005)

I thoroughly enjoyed this adaptation of Pride & Prejudice. I went to the movie not having read the book for over 20 years, but hoping I would enjoy the plot line and characters nonetheless. I was not the least bit disappointed.
The filming was beautifully done, from the first few scenes when Lizzy is walking back to her home. The scenery is lovely and the disparity between the rich and poor is conveyed clearly by the stature of their homes & yards.
The music is lovely, the acting is superb, the interactions & conflicts between Darcy and Lizzie memorable.
All in all, it's a wonderful story and a joy to sit through. Like many others, I wish the movie had been longer if only to prolong the feeling you're left with as the movie culminates.
If you like period romances like "Emma" "Sense & Sensibility" "Shakespeare in Love" "Ever After" & "Little Women", you're sure to enjoy "Pride and Prejudice".
And, by the way, the pig scene is so innocuous I have no idea why so much has been made of it... Ridiculous!
