Time to watch movie, instead reading novel

Rating: Null/10 (2 July 2006)

Jane Auston's Pride and Prejudice has never been my favourite novel but this movie is certainly marvellous. To make a movie on a well-read book is quite a difficult task. The producer and director have to fulfill the expectations of the reader. In other words, film should depict characters and locations as the reader of the book expected them to be. It is quiet a task. So, usually, I don't see movies based on great novels or dramas. Generally , for me, they depict something different than my concept of the character. But this movie is not one of them. This movie gave me the features to my blurry concempt of characters and locations. It enhanced rather confirmed my imagination of the characters.Nearlly every actor of the movies is quite suitable to his or her character.Cinematography is charming. Kiera is brilliant in the character of Lizzy and Mathew is convincing as Darcy. Though sometimes I felt the script a bit sketchy but I know that they cannot bundle every detail of the novel in a movie of 127 minutes. Now I am thinking to change my opinion about the films based on novel. A must see for the lovers of Classics! I give it 7 out of 10.
