Comparing movies......

Rating: 10/10 (2 March 2009)

I liked this movie a lot, granted I have not seen the A&E version, but I did indeed like it better than the novel, which I have only read twice. I enjoyed the novel and saw the movie first. I rarely ever like movies more than books even when I see the movie first, I am an avid reader and have to agree with what someone said, this is a movie based off a book it is not the book turned into a move. Jane Austins book was indeed good, I did enjoy it. Maybe it's because of the fact that I am a romantic, but I have yet to feel the way I do about this movie than any other movie. I have watched it several times and still love it the same, well actually I tend to like it even more, but if you compare this movie to another movie it doesn't do it justice, especially a TV made movie that is 4 hours long, you can do a lot more in 4 hours than in 2 with a book. You may all hate the movie, but I don't feel you gave it a chance by comparing it to another made by someone completely different. If you like the book more then I doubt you will like this movie, it is not completely and utterly closet to the book, but at the same time it truly does give you a hint of what it must have been like. When mere touching was seen as something that was not to be done in public. I much prefer that to the way people act now a days, groping each other and all in public, but anyway think what you like, but comparing a movie to another movie does not do justice to the movie, also A&E is very historically accurate and well a movie isn't always, I enjoy romances and this one by far is my favorite.
