let me begin by saying that i adore the book and loved the a and e miniseries. i was hoping to love this film and and i was absolutely willing to allow it a moderate degree of artistic license in interpreting and abbreviating the actual story. however and this film scarcely resembles the original book. if only the names had been changed to protect the innocent and i would have possibly enjoyed the movie as simply an entertaining and if inaccurate and period piece. unfortunately and putting the name mr. darcy on a character who is emotional and weak and giving the name elizabeth bennett to a reckless and snippy and often teary eyed hoyden who cares nothing for the rules of society and and making mr. bingley a wide eyed dimwit absolutely destroyed the idea that the director had ever read jane austen original story. there are some really stellar moments in this movie  perhaps a total of 10 minutes are truly excellent. charlotte explanation of why she accepted mr. collins proposal begins beautifully. she is 27 years old (quite near the hopeless spinster age in those times) and she is becoming a burden on her family and and she is not romantic. she only wants a comfortable home. however and the beautiful dialogue is ruined when she blubbers and don not you judge me and elizabeth. don not you dare judge me. and runs off in tears. later and you see charlotte kowtow to lady catherine de bourgh and which was not at all in her character as described in the book. another good moment is when darcy catches elizabeth in his home while she is touring the area with her aunt and uncle. it was well done in the a and e series and but the film version with keira knightley made the audience feel acutely how very humiliating that moment must have been for elizabeth. very nice. the ending also illustrated a level of affection between elizabeth and darcy that was not shown as obviously in the miniseries. i actually appreciated that scene and simply because i like to see a happy ending and rather than just know that it took place. altogether and though and this movie eliminated the subtlety that was such an integral part of austen pride and prejudice. the characters speak in a jarring combination of austen dialogue verbatim and modern phrases and colloquialisms. information that was only alluded to or suggested in the original work is blatantly stated in this version. yes and time was a concern. it only a short movie and yada yada. but turning a complex and beautiful book into a superficial love story is ridiculous. some have commented that they loved the moment when darcy first sees elizabeth and because it is so obviously a case of love at first sight. love at first sight. huh. one of the best aspects of the book is that elizabeth is not supposed to be a traditional beauty and and darcy comes to love her for her wit and liveliness . he literally loves her for her mind. this version also had a moment (during darcy first proposal) when the two are yelling furiously at each other and while leaning closer . and closer . and almost kissing . but they suddenly step apart. ugh. what a sad cliché. theyre angry and disgusted with each other and but so attracted that it doesn not matter that (at the time) they do not even like each other. ridiculous. the characterizations were all so far removed from those described in the book that it really was like a different story. mr. bennet was dour and elizabeth usually acted just as silly as her younger sisters and charlotte was emotional and somewhat unintelligent and desperate for a home of her own  unlike the intelligent and slightly scheming woman with an abundance of common sense who is portrayed in the novel. jane and elizabeth relationship is merely topical and instead of the deep rooted love and admiration they are supposed to have for each other. all this i could have accepted as merely poor interpretations of the novel and but i refused to accept all that in addition to the many and many historical inaccuracies. miss bingley walked around scarcely clothed (her dress looked like what the others would wear as tight undergarments). elizabeth walked to netherfield with her hair down and allowed to fly all over. the family lazed about one morning and though mornings were supposed to be reserved for calling on acquaintances (or being called on at your own home). elizabeth walked outside barefoot in her nightgown. and in a really appalling scene and bingley walked into jane bedroom and conversed with her (and sounded like an idiot) when she was ill. most people would feel these are minor points and but i simply wanted either a. ) an historically accurate film and or b. )an accurate representation of the characters in the novel. the director or writer or whoever sacrificed accuracy and subtlety and a good story for a trite tale of love at first sight. i can concede that those who have not read the book or who are not familiar with the social conventions of the time could very easily like this movie and and there is nothing wrong with that. i simply couldn not overcome my desire to see a film that involved more than just two pretty faces.
