Pride and Prejudice - Excellent use of cinematography to capture the characters

Rating: 7/10 (18 September 2005)

Pride and Prejudice captures the essence of Jane Austen's book, paying great attention to both characters and detail to create an emotional screen adaption. This is one film that uses cinematography to an advantage in capturing lush landscapes, enhancing the feelings of the characters with appropriate camera angles and shots, and representing period history through costume and rich rural landscape. I expect that everyone who sees this film will be 'blown away' by the cinematography, which is used in a major way to tell the story of Elizabeth and her family and Mr. Darcy.
This screen adaption succeeds in attracting an audience through familiar faces and a timeless classic, which should not be regarded solely as a great love story but should be regarded as a timeless classic portraying social history and a class system. (This film has the potential to be enjoyed by many different types of individual.) In conclusion, Pride and Prejudice succeeds in this screen adaption through excellent cinematography that enhances the characters and emotions while representing a class structure. Good job. 7/10.
