What have they done? Jane Austen must be rolling in her grave.

Rating: 2/10 (30 October 2005)

I am disgusted by this "interpretation" of Austen's masterpiece. The producers of this film have completely disregarded Austen's crucial messages, or perhaps this is too harsh but the issues Austen portrayed in her novel are not represented to a degree that does this classic justice. Is the title not "Pride and Prejudice"? Why, then, have the directors decided to reduce Darcy's pride? Why is Mr Collins barely the "silly, pompous, narrow-minded man" described in the text? I have loved this novel since I was 7 and am DISGUSTED to see it so terribly portrayed with a complete disregard for the pride of Darcy, Mr Bennet, Mr Collins and especially Elizabeth Bennet herself. In the words of Lady Catherine de Bourgh; "I am most displeased."
