Wonderful

Rating: 10/10 (27 May 2012)

I'm currently watching the 1995 version with Colin Firth, and I keep having flashbacks to the beautifully shot 2005 version with Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen. Can I just say that no one portrays shy, awkward, confusing love as well as Matthew Macfadyen? It's a wonderful movie, indeed. It's a great retelling of a classic love story. I found the edits made to the plot line in order to ensure it fit within the time frame quite pleasing. They left out material, but nothing substantial to the development of the plot or the characters. I've loved this movie for such a long time, but it wasn't until recently that I gave a second thought to Macfadyen's portrayal of Darcy. He plays Darcy with such subtle grace, such amazing technique that the man IS Darcy to me.
