A beautiful, atmospheric film that is a definite must-see

Rating: 10/10 (28 October 2005)

I completely disagree on what seraph_sister said about Pride and Prejudice. As soon as the film had begun and a beautiful piano piece had come on I knew that I would enjoy the movie. The film was shot so beautifully, taking in all the scenery and architecture of the houses. Without needing to include kissing or sex Joe Wright has created such romance and atmosphere that I have never experienced in any other film before. I have read the book and it does explain about the troubles for women back then and also captures the love growing between Mr Darcy and Elizabeth. It creates the story from the book, but maybe not in as much detail, leaving lots of it out, but keeping the most important pieces focusing on the romance and marriage. It has been beautifully filmed and has a pure feeling about it. I was so amazed at what I had seen that I was left thinking about the film for the next few days and discussing it with my family and friends. It is a beautiful, atmospheric film that is a definite must-see.
