Brilliant!!!

Rating: 10/10 (30 November 2005)

This version of Pride and Prejudice is even better than the originals!!! I have read the book as well and it is a brilliant portrayal. Keira Knightley and Matthew MacFayden shine as Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy. Elizabeth Bennet is an intelligent, spirited young woman who will not let her rank control her life. She will marry for love and nothing else. While Mr. Darcy may "seem" proud, he is a charming character that the audience will fall in love with. There is just enough humor, romance, and intelligence combined to create the perfect movie. I also love that they cut out the more dull parts of the book and just move right along. Trust me when I say that you will not be ready for the movie to be over. I recommend that everyone see it; it is the best movie I have seen all year! Jane Austen would be proud.
