upset with critical people

Rating: 10/10 (7 June 2006)

I think that those who enjoyed the first Pride and Prejudice are being ridiculously harsh on the new one. The camera work was amazing and it captured my attention every second of the movie. I have also seen the first Pride and Prejudice. There are aspects that I enjoy from both movies. Of course, they left our some aspects. The point of this movie was to capture a new audience. I wonder if it ever occurred to the Jane Austen fans that the novel probably gained hundreds of new readers. Even thousands. I think Jane Austen would be proud to see people being inspired to read her book. I have had far too many people come up to me and tell me not to watch the new movie. If I had listened to them, I would have missed out. I think that what I am about to say would appal some relatives of mine who are die hard fans of the 1995 Pride and Prejudice as well as the "original and good" Mr. Darcy. I think that the new Mr. Darcy is capable of being overcome with emotion much more convincingly than the old one. So if you haven't seen the movie, do see it. But view it with an open mind, or you will be just as disappointed as all the other people who hated it. Trust me on this one. Mr. Darcy will steal your heart away...
