I can't get enough of this movie

Rating: 10/10 (20 March 2006)

There's no need for me to retell the plot of this movie. Others have done that beautifully. Let me just say that I have now purchased five copies (four to give away; one for me), and here's why: 1. Kiera Knightly is incredible as Elizabeth Bennet--youthful but wise, sweet but sarcastic, beautiful with a touch of tomboy. 2. Matthew Macfadyen's Mr. Darcy is perfect. He gives the character just the right blend of pride and insecurity, with eyes so expressive that a sidelong glance speaks volumes. And his voice...! Oh my. 3. The Bennet family is every family--a delightful jumble of diverse personalities bound by tears, laughter and love. 4. The music. (I own the soundtrack, too.) 5. The scenery. (Many Kodak moments.) 6. And...the story. Perfect. Just perfect.
Go, Jane Austen!!!! I'm so amazed.
