2021.1.17 "Pride and Prejudice"

The first time I saw a movie adapted from a famous book, I didn't expect every line in the movie to be exactly the same as the one written in the book. When Lisie’s father told his wife in the movie that I have been listening to you mention your poor nerves for the past 20 years, I immediately found out the arrogance and prejudice I bought in elementary school, and then I watched the movie and read the novel. I found that every line is consistent with the original text in the book! Compared with the messy movies that are adapted from novels, this movie really respects the original work very, very much, and restores the original work very much.

Then, the costumes of each actor in the play are really very particular. It feels like the previous era. I haven’t seen the 2005 version, but I still feel that the 40-year version is more restored to the original, the 2005 version. It's a little too fashionable.

The whole movie is pretty good, but the scene where Mr. Darcy left after knowing that Lisie’s family was not well-educated made me very confused. Later, he didn’t apologize, Lisie fell in love with him, uh.

I don't know how to evaluate acting. I haven't reached the level of evaluating acting.

Pride and Prejudice quotes

  • Elizabeth Bennet: Are you a good shot with the bow and arrow, Mr. Darcy?

    Mr. Darcy: Tolerable.

    Elizabeth Bennet: Only - tolerable?

    Mr. Darcy: Well, it's a fine old sport. And one in which even a young lady can become proficient.

    Elizabeth Bennet: So I've heard.

    Mr. Darcy: At a short range, of course. And, with a light bow.

  • Mr. Darcy: Miss Elizabeth thinks I do not laugh enough.

    Caroline Bingley: I should be sorry to see you laugh more than you do. To me, there's something so unrefined about excessive laughter.
