wow

Rating: 10/10 (3 December 2005)

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. I have to say, it's been a while since I read the book by Jane Austen and that I haven't watched the BBC version of the movie. But this was a masterpiece. THe choice of actors and actresses were good. I liked the setting, and the camera movements that seemed to scan every room in every scene was appropriate because it made the setting more realistic and the viewer could easily feel like they are in the time period. I think this is one of the greatest achievements in this movie that makes it stand out from other pictures that have been made previously about this time. Of course, the story is amazing...the romance is well developed and I can imagine that for someone who doesn't know the story, it will be quite entertaining. I wouldn't think Keira Knightly was the right actress for this role, merely because I'm used to seeing her in more modern movies playing the roles of sporty/tomcat girls. But I must say, with the magic of the director, she played quite well and made the role of Elizabeth Bennet come to life. I think I would recommend this movie mostly to female audiences, although some males might also find it interesting, particularly if they have some background on the time that this movie is about.
