Terrible Adaptation...

Rating: 3/10 (13 April 2020)

If you can even call it that. The very first scene shows that the filmmakers do not get the brilliance of the author. It takes place at a dance. In the time this story takes place dances were NOT like the barbaric cardio they are today. Women wore tight corsets... they could not keep up modern standards. In the book, Darcy makes fun of dancing... noting that "any savage can dance". That is exactly what the opening scene is.. a bunch of savages running around doing cardio. Just watching that I knew that the story would be a broad strokes romance film gutting all the brilliance of the original and that is what continues to happen. I just have a question... why bother?
