The most romantic version of “Pride & Prejudice” to date
Like most people who love literature I was well aware that Jane Austen could write, but the idea that Keira Knightley can act and hold her own against the likes of Dame Judi Dench was a revelation. Granted, Knightley has not particularly been called upon to turn in great acting performances in most of her films. In “Love Actually” she is basically required to look pretty and her best moments are reaction shots rather than dialogue. She has many more moments such as that in “Pride & Prejudice,” but she also proves herself proficient at the witty dialogue. Knightley filmed this version as her final film as a teenager and the results are comparable to when Franco Zeffirelli cast the teenage Olivia de Hussey in “Romeo & Juliet.”
This becomes the most romantic version of “Pride & Prejudice” because we are not surprised along with Lizzie when Darcy shows up and makes the most backhanded proposal of marriage in the history of Western literature. The screenplay by Deborah Moggach (Emma Thompson receives special thanks in the credits, apparently for script doctoring) makes one significant change in the proceedings by simply having the moment when Mr. Darcy (Matthew MacFadyen) falls for Lizzie clearly written on his face. At the Meryton ball she finds the perfect moment to throw the callous words that she has overheard back into his and with the rapier still skewering her victim she turns on her heels and walks away in triumph.
When next he sees her she has walked over to Mr. Bingley’s house to care for her sister Jane (Rosamund Pike), who has been taken ill because of the matrimonial machinations of their mother. Lizzie’s hair is down and she is positively glowing. When we see the look of Darcy’s face it is clear that he is beyond smitten, even though through the veneer of upper class manners the signs are decidedly subtle. From that moment on his affection becomes transparent to us, although Lizzie is surprised to learn of its existence. Joe Wright also creates a motif where the first time Darcy and Lizzie touch, as he helps her into a carriage, resonates by an emphasis at key moments throughout the film of Darcy’s hands.
Elizabeth Bennett is the most delightful of the Austen heroines because she has the virtue of not backing down. Indeed, I believe Darcy first takes real notice of her because she stands up to him at the ball. When she refuses to back down from Lady Catherine De Bourgh (Judi Dench) at the dinner table it struck me that one of the reasons she is so attractive to Darcy is because she is not trying to be. Certainly Mrs. Bennett (Brenda Blythen) has taught her five daughters it is how to be on their best behavior to catch a husband, and in a world of such propriety her candor is refreshing. Darcy’s curt dismissal of her looks as being tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt him, becomes ironic because for my money it is her brains that make Elizabeth Bennett a real beauty both to him and to us.
The screenplay necessitates cutting much of the action to reduce the tale to a two-hour film. I appreciated being spared the unfortunate incident of Mary at the pianoforte as well as the constructed scene for the final fadeout and my only minor complaint would be that Lady Catherine does not utter her exit line from the novel when she takes her leave of Elizabeth in their final confrontation although I fully understand that the words cannot be uttered under those circumstances and the fact that Lady Catherine shows up immediately on hearing the rumor makes up for being denied the pleasure of hearing Dame Judy declaim that line.
I had heard that the Jane Austen Society was less than pleased by Knightley’s posture in this film, but one of the strengths of this production is that the Bennetts clearly live in the country. There are dirt roads that lead to their home, where a large hog wanders through the front door, and when Mr. Darcy and the Bingleys make their first appearances at the local ball the dancing has an exuberance (not to mention slapping of hands) that makes it patently clear that we are far from the hallowed halls of Pemberly or the civilized life of London. But the outside locations are as sumptuous as the gilded rooms in this film, and cinematographer Roman Osin makes both look gorgeous.
For those who consider “Sense & Sensibility” to be the current cinematic benchmark for Austen adaptations I can report that “Pride & Prejudice” is its superior in terms of both romance and comedy by virtue of both crying and laughing more at this 2005 film.. Where Ang Lee’s 1995 film comes out ahead is in its depiction of sisterhood, as Jane and Lizzie cannot rival Elinor and Marianne in their bonds of affection, which is understandable since it is more central to that Austen novel. Even so there is a cute moment of confidences shared beneath the covers and Lizzie’s spirited defense of her sister’s shyness. However, this one really is all about Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy.
I am not at all surprise that Kngihtly received a Best Actress nomination for her performance in this film. As is invariably the case with such films the cast of supporting players is superb. Brenda Blethyn’s Mrs. Bennett is comically painful, but Donald Sutherland as Mr. Bennett has a touching final scene with his daughter, Tom Hollander is toadally obnoxious as Mr. Collins, and my wife really wants to slap Jenna Malone’s Lydia a couple of times. The best thing I can say about this version of “Pride & Prejudice” is that I went back to the theater to see it again, and the only other movie I did that for was “Revenge of the Sith” (I was using it for class). This one was better.

Excellent adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic in slightly over two-hour form!
In the latest adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic, this 2005 film version shines and impresses. With great performances, beautiful cinematography, and excellent direction, fans of Pride & Prejudice will be pleased with this adaptation!
Following the book version, the 2005 film brings Pride & Prejudice to more vibrant visuals and focuses primarily of Elizabeth Bennet’s perspective and attracting the modern age. Elizabeth “Lizzie” Bennet is one of 5 daughters who must marry wealthy in order to secure her future. Due to laws of the Regency era, when Mr. Bennet dies, all his fortune and property will go to the nearest male relation, and securing a man of fortune will lead the Bennet sisters into a prosperous life. While older sister Jane connects with wealthy Charles Bingley, Lizzie prefers to marry for love and finds herself matching wits with the prideful but wealthy Fitzwilliam Darcy (aka Mr. Darcy).
Misunderstandings and rushed judgements lead Lizzie and Mr. Darcy on a path of love and hate, but also growth. As both begin to look beyond appearances, they may find a great match in each other but several twists and turns may bring them to ruin.
In the directional debut of Joe Wright, the 2005 Pride & Prejudice version is a splendid mixture of beautiful cinematography and an excellent score. The cast is great in their roles including Jena Malone as impulsive Kitty, Rupert Friend as “charming” Wickham, Dame Judi Dench as arrogant Lady Catherine, and the late Donald Sutherland as Mr. Bennet. Keira Knightley, a then rising star fresh off Pirates of the Caribbean Curse of the Black Pearl success, delights and mesmerizes as Elizabeth “Lizzie” Bennet. She brings out Lizzie’s with and playful free spirit, and her intelligence and headstrong personality to match Matthew Macfadyen’s Mr. Darcy. While MacFayden, then a relative unknown internationally, shines as the reserved and prideful Darcy while bringing out the character’s more gentle side.
When multiple adaptations of a beloved novel like Pride & Prejudice are made, the battle of which one is best often ensues. The 2005 film is perfect for those who wish to watch a quicker version of Pride & Prejudice and viewers will get a splendid view of gorgeous scenes and wonderful musical scores. The performances are also great and marked the beginning of MacFadyen and Knightley’s further ventures with Joe Wright in other films (Atonement, Anna Karenina). The blu-ray disc comes out clear on screen and provides a crisp look at a splendid novel that still captivates readers more than 200 years after its 1813 publication.

Cuando vi esta pelÃcula me sorprendà muchÃsimo. Me esperaba otro horror meloso y dramático de esos que no aguanto (Sentido y Sensibilidad) pero me la habÃan recomendado y “por probar” la miré. Sin embargo me encantó y me reà bastante.
Me sirvió para conocer está magnÃfica historia llena de humor e ironÃa, desde entonces he leido el libro, escuchado varias versiones de audiobook y visto todas las versiones de television y cine que he podido. Para mi, esta sigue siendo mi favorita. Igual no tan fiel como la miniserie de la BBC, pero mucho más amena y, en mi opinion, conserva mejor la ironÃa y el sarcasmo.
De drama tiene más bien poco. Es una historia romántica, pero llevada con humor y riéndose de toda la circunstancia. La protagonista no es ajena a la puya y le echa unos cuantos comentarios bastante bordes a Mr. Darcy. La familia es un espantito. La madre es tan limitada que confunde el estar confundida o inquieta con tener una enfermedad nerviosa, y su única obsesión es casar a las 5 hijas como sea. La hermana pequeña intenta ser intelectual pero sus comentarios llegan a ser absurdos. La hermana mediana intenta ligarse lo que sea y no tiene sentido común, y la mayor es un poco demasiado buena. El padre pasa de todo. Y para rematar la faena aparece un primo que es hilarantemente pomposo y ridÃculo. En medio de todo esto tienes a Elizabeth (Lizzie), un poco demasiado independiente para la época, pero con las ideas muy claras, intentando sobrevivir.
Mr. Darcy por su lado parece ser un borde de cuidado, pero bastante pronto se empieza a notar que más que borde es que no sabe ser sociable, especialmente con Lizzie que tiene una familia espantosa, es pobre y le dice a la cara lo que piensa.

I’m not necessarily a Jane Austen fan but I was taken back by the acting and production quality of this movie. It’s hard to believe that Keira Knightley (Miss Elizabeth) was only 20 years old during the filming with her incredible acting & poise. The rest of the cast does a spectacular job as well. The visuals through the movie are breathtaking which is why you want this on blu-ray. The great sound track is also perfectly in-sync with the story-line. For me the most amazing scene was the ball-room dance where the camera perfectly & seamlessly pans through the various rooms and conversations. Great picture and sound quality throughout. Blu-ray also includes a number of great extras. A must-have for Jane Austen fans and anyone who appreciates the highest of quality. You will watch this many times!
