worst adaptation ever

Rating: 1/10 (2 August 2006)

I've just tried to see Pride and Prejudice and I simply couldn't reach the end. it's an awful version. The director has not understood a word about Jane Austen's book. The Bennet's are from the gentry, not farmers. They own a farm but that does not make them vulgar, poor and dirty (and certainly pigs do not run the house as if it was a pigsty). Country dances were much more elegant and refined than what is shown in the movie... Lady Catherine with his hair loose as she was a witch! I cannot believe nobody has noticed that the social classes that Jane Austen wanted to describe were not as they appear in the movie. Not to mention the appalling lack of chemistry between the main characters. I'm all astonishment, indeed!
