A refreshing, exhilarating rendering of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice

Rating: 10/10 (28 November 2005)

This movie was absolutely breathtaking.
It was simply...exquisite. It was beautiful, gorgeous, excellent, wonderful...oh, it was just so good! The way it was shot...oh, Lord, England's countrysides are beautiful! And there was this awesome (albeit dizzying) part where you got to see through Elizabeth's eyes as she swung in circles on a swing...great way to suck the audience in. And wow, I don't remember seeing P & P look this good! The attention to detail in the sets and costumes was superb. And Darcy...Darcy was so sexy. "You have bewitched me body and soul. I...love you and cannot bear to be parted from you." *swoon* And the music...so soft, so gentle...so calm and soothing. Gorgeous. I want to get this soundtrack...this film transports me to that feeling of sublime happiness. And it's so romantic! I mean, that sounds girlie...but, the romance was beautiful! It made me cry. I wanted a dashing Darcy to stride purposely through a field to tell me that he loved me! There was some stuff they left out. Like the Hursts. Who? Exactly. I didn't even know they were left out until I started to read the book again last night. The film stayed true to the story of P&P and rendered it hopelessly lovely.
