The New Pride and Prejudice

Rating: 8/10 (8 May 2009)

Pretty scenes, I think can be considered more natural than the others. But I still prefer the BBC version. When you have studied the novel for two whole years for the GCE Exams, you will know which is nearer to the book - and the BBC version is nearer for me. I want to give the new version a chance, but I still prefer the BBC version of 10 years ago - the new Darcy (Matthew M.) is wonderful to look at - he IS Darcy... I always recommend that the book be read before the movie watched - especially in English literature and Dickens, Bronte, etc. Costumes are important, and appearance. There is only one occasion in the story when Elizabeth looked unravelled and unshevelled - it was after she had hurredly walked over to Netherfield as as Jane was ill.
