Pride and Prejudice and Zombies - A Combination of History and Future

Seeing Miss Bennets sharpen their knives, I laughed so hard, creative setting! Even so, the plot and lines are still quite faithful to the original

The daughter with glasses will recognize the third daughter Mary after reading the original book

Mrs Bennett is not good enough, not talkative enough, not flattering enough, not enough mother-in-law

Darcy didn't invite Elizabeth to dance at the ball. In the original book, it didn't hurt her self-esteem. Elizabeth's pride is not inferior to Darcy's. She and Darcy should look down on each other (at least on the show)

Elisabeth is indeed the most aggressive of the 5 sisters, but in the original book her weapons are witty words and a quick mind, not a real short sword

After killing so many zombies, there is no blood on the clothes, which shows that the martial arts are indeed superb

The lighting really shows how refined the other movie "Barry Lyndon" is.

Hahaha, you would never have thought that Elizabeth could speak Chinese and even visited the Shaolin Temple

Collins isn't old-fashioned enough, doesn't have that seriousness

In order to condense the original into a movie, some plots had to be adapted to speed up the pace

Weiken didn't go to the ball, Darcy was there

Love is the best teacher and both Elizabeth and Darcy have benefited a lot from love

Actually, the adaptation could be a bit more daring, like completely changing the ending of the original, like Inglourious Basterds and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which is more surprising

From the time Weiken took Elizabeth to Saint Lazarus, the plot deviates from the original

Lady Catherine is so young, not a lady

The plot of Darcy's first proposal to Elizabeth was handled so badly, it was the most dramatic plot in the book, and Elizabeth was far more emotional than in the movie

Barrage can always turn tragedy into comedy, haha

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies quotes

  • Mr. Bennet: [in narration] It wasn't always like this, my dear daughters. As the century began, Britannia was rich with the fruits of worldwide trade. From the colonies there came not just silks and spices, but a virulent and abominable plague. Naturally many suspected the French were to blame. Are you surprised? Once bitten, the newly infected were filled with an insatiable hunger for the brains of the living. Millions perished, only to rise again as legions of undead. So certain it would seem the end of days had come. But even the four horsemen of the apocalypse are said to have ascended from hell. To protect the living, the Grand Barrier was built. A one hundred foot wall, encircling London. Then excavation began on the royal canal, a vast moat thirty fathoms deep surrounding both the city and its walls. The land twixt the two fortifications became known as The Inbetween. At this time it became fashionable to study the deadly arts of the Orient. Japan for the wealthy. China for the wise. In the second battle of Kent, one of the bridges that cross the royal canal was breached. Ravenous zombie hordes massacred every villager of The Inbetween. It was said the sight of this slaughter drove young King George mad. When the battle was finally won, he ordered the destruction of all the bridges, save one: Hingham Bridge. Which to this day remains the only means by which to cross the royal canal. Many believed the enemy was finally vanquished. The gentry began to leave the safe confines of London's defenses for their newly fortified country estates. But vigilance is still every essence. Remember this. Keep your swords as sharp as your wit. For the ultimate battle between the living and the undead has yet to be staged.

  • Mr. Bingley: I hate to see you just standing there. You must dance.

    Mr. Darcy: Oh, you know I detest it when I'm not acquainted with my partner.
