Another brilliant Jane Austin adaptation

Rating: 9/10 (1 October 2006)

My mother has been begging me to watch the mini series Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy, I never really had the time since it's 6 hours and it seems like a lot to swallow. So, she told me to rent the remake, it seemed like a summed up version of the story, and I now cannot wait to watch the mini series. I really enjoyed Sense and Sensebility and now I am a new fan of Pride and Prejudice, what great stories! They have such rich characters and incredible stories that will melt your heart.
Keira Knightly shines as Elizabeth, one of many sisters who is feeling the same shared pressure of being married by her mother. When she meets a man named Mr. Darcy, she is disgusted by his arrogance and swears that she will never marry him. After seeing two of her sisters getting purposed to as well as one being married, she is feeling lonely as ever, but is very stubborn and opinionated where she will not settle. After realizing how wonderful Mr. Darcy is though, well, you get the picture.
This is a beautiful adaptation of Jane Austin's masterpiece novel and I would highly recommend it. Like I said, now I'm excited to see the mini series, I love Colin Firth, I'm sure he will make a great Mr. Darcy. But this cast has won my heart already, it really is a great film!
9/10
