  • Janes refusal to dance with him just intrigues Mr Darcy ...I love the smirk and awe smile on his face

  • I really don't think I could stand Mrs. Bennett if she was my mother. I'd be embarrassed all the time! How she and Mr. Bennett ever ended up together I will never understand....

  • argh what a pain Mrs. Bennett is! She means well but she would be tough to have as a real mother. Most of us would just snap

  • mr darcy is such a love <3 a prat, but such a love

  • This adaptation is brilliant.

    And I very much like Charlotte Lucas. She's well cast :)

    Mr Darcy *sigh* <3

    Natural beauties in this film :)

  • I do wish women today were as polished and refined as Charlotte Lucas or Jane Bennet, even Liz Bennet to a degree, its so much more agreeable and aproachable compared to the quality of the female today. Still i'm sure theres a few of you out there still, but their certainly not commen, a dying breed infact i would say.

  • we finally see mary at the piano! that was one thing i liked about the hollywood version, she was always at the piano...but mary in this version is so moody, lydia is so cute too, if you put the two into one person, they would have the sense and liveliness of lizzy, maybe more, its be the perfect person

  • Jane's head looks too small for her body...

  • is it just me or is the audio off?

  • @bluberrypenguin no, the lips are slower than the speech, indeed! XD

  • @bluberrypenguin No, actually, it's on...I think so

  • @bluberrypenguin Its off just a little :)

  • What I also really like in this version is that the women were more bodacious, not boney, they had something to fill their gowns with :O

  • "Any savage can dance!" World's biggest LOL!!! CAPITAL! CPITAL!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! =D

  • not sure if shes darcys or binglys sister but she seems as if she was a man with a sex change....

  • @shane1marryme its bingleys sister, or else there's incest in the darcy family lol

  • If Jane had listened to Charlotte's advice, maybe Darcy would never have told Bingley to leave Jane alone.

  • grown weman having tantrums,My 3yr old daughter is better behaved

  • I must say, it is quite remarkable how similar Jane Eyre looks to Meryl Streep. They could be doppelgangers.

  • @FlufflestheCatIn2012 Jane...Eyre?

  • Nothing like being snubbed to pique a man's interest. Smiling works wonders too

    .

  • Just imagine how it must be for Lizzie to have Darcy give you his lovely-death stare from across the room.Quite captivating eyes.

  • I think Colin Firth gets a lot of credit for this version, but people always overlook how amazing Jennifer Ehle is in this! Her expressions are just beautiful and exact! And to think she had almost nothing to go off of, since the previous adaptations of P&P are atrocious :P When I watch this version, I really see where Kiera Knightly got her inspiration from for the 2005 version.

    I love this! <3

  • lol men holding hands!! :D

  • It seems as though Charlotte is a cousin of mr. Bean . . . could it be possible?

    btw, i'm lovin the comments here on male/female relationships throughout history. ur funny, ppl. just keep in mind it's a two-way street. it can cut either way.

  • Eliza is sooo beautiful

  • this movie was made one year before i was born

  • Everytime Mr. Darcy has a close up I start to cry. He's just so damn sexy!!!

  • I like how Mr.Darcy just slides in the camera view at 4;17-4:23 and stares at Elizabeth it's kinda funny...

    I imagined him doing that and smiling while waving when he comes in...

    xD

  • lizzie has on liquid eyeliner and mascara!

  • When Caroline Bingley asks ``Which part of London?'' she looks so condescending and fearsome! The backdrop of that shot is just perfect.

  • Traditionally Women are decisively more Capricious and Fickle than men in affairs of the heart and love.

    The woman, (lizzie bennett classic example) will strive for a male for material wealth, good looks and kindness, while a rich man would be very satisfied with a poor gentry girl because he loves her enough.

    Hence men time and time again have proven to be more constant and firm in love than women.

  • @Woodlander65 You know, you have a point in what you've said. but look deeper - a woman must provide a stable upbringing of her healthy children, that's on the instinct level, that's why she would be drawn to handsome and reach male. Males, at the other side, do not bother on how they will look after his children as it is a woman's obligation.

  • @varnahelloyall

    Very true, as you say that is part of the instinctive born gift that women have, but there are exceptions to the rule with children and their upbringing and it go's further than a father's dutiful obligation, but i wont get into that.

    But coming back to what i said you look at the novel's, the history of man/women it's allway's been the man that rescues the woman from her demise, even poverty, but you'll never see it the other way round, but i would never change it...

  • ...its one of the male attributes that is still natural, innocent and endearing right through to this day.

  • @Woodlander65 :)I TOTALLY DISAGREE.WOMEN ACCEPT ANYMAN WITH ANY AMOUNT OF WEALTH AS LONG AS THEY LOVE THEM WHEREAS MEN CAN HAVE AFFAIR OR BE LOVERS WITH PRETTY ,ATTRACTIVE GIRLS BUT NEVER MARRY THEM IF THERE WON'T BE ANY material benefit coming from them.at least that is what i've witnessed so far.Rich women or daughters of rich dads are never alone.I do not wonder why!!

  • @ohnoididitagain

    "If there wont be any material benifit coming from them"

    Well in the novel's you may see cad's that would do that, (example Wickham attempting it with M. King) but i'm talking of the real world as well, and i have to say its the other way round, i have seen it, but never seen it with men only women, because its a poor prospect for women even in this so called world of equlity.

  • @Woodlander65

    "The woman, (lizzie bennett classic example) will strive for a male of material wealth ... [men are] more constant and firm in love than women."

    Think about that a bit more. It's not a question of being constant and firm or capricious and fickle, it's a question of one group having much more power and wealth than the other and therefore having more freedom.

    Check your privilege, dude.

  • @AncaThirteen

    If it's not a question of constant and firm then whats the point of it?

    And it's not one group having more than the other, it varies, look at the Bingley sister's wealth as an example, can you in a million years imagine them not marrying into even more money than they have?

    Reality.

  • @Woodlander65

    I would suggest learning about male privilege as a beginning. Google and wikipedia should at least be able to point you in the right direction.

    I'm not interested in talking with misogynists, so I don't intend on replying to any further comments from you.

  • @AncaThirteen

    I'm as much a misogynist as you are a misandrist, the point has been totally missed by you, however there will be no further comments.

  • the black haired one of mr bingleys sisters look like michael jackson! :D

  • I think that when Elizabeth declined to dance with Darcy, Darcy thought "I WANT HER!!" I think he starts being attracted to Elizabeth starting there.

  • I love the way Elizabeth's eyes sparkle! so beautiful :)

  • I love how Mr. Darcy is being spoken to about the grace of dancing but he has to point out that 'Every savage can dance.' Both are true, after all... Mr. Darcy is just a downer in the beginning.

  • I just clicked that Mrs Bennet is Pamela from Gavin & Stacey!

    haha I knew I recognised her from somewhere

  • you can tell Elizabeth feels nervous and uncomfortable that Mr. Darcy keeps staring at her.

    Mr. Darcy randomly staring at her is kinda random and obvious and weird huh? lol

  • charlotte is not plain at all in this movie!

  • @jzen1398 ye! i was thinking that 2

  • "Capital, capital" 

  • i love lizzie's sarcasm on darcy :)hahaha

  • capital, capital xd very good acting :)

  • Lizzy looks like Meryl Streep!!!!

    LUV HER!

  • @EdwardLuver01 omg i was just thinking the same thing. the actress's bone structure here is stunning

  • she rejects him!!!.. :O..need to read the book

  • i rly dont think jane is prettier than elizabeth

  • the chick who plays caroline in this is in what a girl wants with colin firth!! omg the irony.....esp cuz she wants colin froth in both situations

  • @AnnaBxox24 that" chick" is related to jane austen!

  • I'm watching this now on DVD< but I have to come to Youtube so I can comment. Is it just me, or is the woman who plays Jane really unattractive. Am I weird. When I saw her at the beginning, I thought she was supposed to be Mary?

    I was like, "That is Jane?" She has no upper lip and looks like a man in drag. Anyway, I am mean and I make no apologies. Is she supposed to be pretty because she blond? The fab Lizzy they picked is much prettier and I LOVE Saffy!

  • @KittenToez someone mentioned this to me before: she has a grecian profile, and is fair, which was considered the epitome of beauty at the time. personally, i think lizzie is the prettiest too (: but i dont think jane is really ugly, shes just quite plain and normal looking

  • @fabziepie

    Thanks! Well, at least I had handsome Colin as Darcy to console me. My imagination did get a work-out w/ that Jane. Square chin, broad shoulders, the now-you-see-em-now-you-don't top lip LOL

  • @KittenToez

    lol

  • argh, I want to kill Mrs. Bennett! she's the most annoying person in the literary world!

  • @ginny4e mr bennet is no angel

  • I feel sorry for Mary Bennet :p

  • I have to say i don't like that movie very much... i mean they sticked to the book what i like a lot and the characters are good portrayed...but i did'nt get the enjoyment out of it like I had it when i read the book and watched the movie with keira...sorry..:/ ..and i don't get the feelings...

  • Wow....this is juz awesome!

  • i really thin the actor wh plays lizzie, portrays her character the best of all the movie adaptions, i've seen ! much better than keira knightley!

  • my english is not so good, so could someone please tell me what Darcy's saying at 6:38-6-43? I do not quite understand every word :(

  • @GhostSymphony  he is musing or thinking about how nice her smile and eyes look I agree she radiates

  • @GhostSymphony Caroline -I believe I can guess your thoughts at this moment.

    Darcy- I should imagine not.

    Caroline- You are thinking how insupportable it would be to spend more evenings in such tedious company.

    Darcy- No indeed, my mind was more agreeably engaged. I was meditating on the pleasure that a pair of very fine eyes and the face of a pretty woman, can bestow.

  • @gilyat Thank you very much!

  • @GhostSymphony Auf gut Deutsch sagt er sowas wie: "Ich denke darüber nach welches große Vergnügen ein Paar schöner Augen im Gesicht einer hübschen Frau hervorrufen können. (so oder so ähnlich) :D

  • Caroline Bingley looks like Michael Jackson

  • The lady who plays Mrs. Forster in this, plays Maria in BBC's "Mansfield Park" I think I like her better as Mrs. Forster. As Maria she did not hold the beauty that Maria was supposed to have IMO.

  • @HannahAdar who's???

  • poor Jane!

  • @HannahAdar you  have to throw in a few more greats i believe

  • at 6:57 SHE LOOKS LIKE MERYL STREEP!

  • This version is cast perfectly.

  • I think LIzzy is so much more pretty than Jane, and the mother is always like "Lizzy you will never be as nearly as pretty as Jane." So frustrating!

  • Sigh...watching this version both delights and saddens me. It makes the P&P with Keira Knightly look like utter crap...

    They're all so talented! And the costuming in just amazing.

  • Mr.Darcy's eyes are captivating. *sigh*

  • @iluvAudreyHepburn They certainly are, and I would give much to have such a man look at me so.

  • 5:30 I just noticed the two little kids dancing in the background - so cute!

  • Isn't it crazy how Lizzie tells Charlotte 'you would never act that way yourself' And then Charlotte does later and shocks Lizzie so much? Its kinda sad how she didn't see that coming in her own best friend... I felt so bad for Lizzie at that point :(

  • Lizzie looks pretty at 8:28

  • WTF? Charlotte is ten times better looking than Jane is! What's up with that??

  • 0:13 -- Holy shiz. Caroline looks like a man. She makes me think of a Disney villain.

  • yeah kiera knightly speaks the same way as this Lizzy in the 2005 version =]

  • "Every savage can dance." lol! Now days it applies to most people on the dance floor.

  • Weiss jemand wo ich das Lied herbekomme, was Mary ab 3:21 spielt? Auf dem Soundtrack scheint es nicht zu sein...

  • 6:07 Elizabeth: I don't give a damn about Darcy

  • 5:03

  • Caroline looks so plastic.

  • Poor Mary!!! I think she deserves more credit than she gets!!!

  • strange it never says in the book nor in this movie why he likes Lizzie, i thought he dislike her, when he first meets her he said she's not good enough for me, but now he likes her? huh?

  • Later on he explains that he fought against his attraction to her because of his superior birth and wealth. That's what I've always attributed it to.

  • oh dear, there' are no "why"-s in true love. it just happens. no reason possibly found.

  • he likes her from first sight but his principles from an upper class upbringing prevent him from admitting falling in love with someone from a lower background.

  • actually if u really check his face whenever she's around him u can plainly see that he likes her very much but because of pride he just did not want to admit it

  • I observed that Keira Knightley mimic Jennifer Ehle's way of speaking in PNP 2005 a bit. Just an opinion.

  • 6:10 poor darcy and the other wide guy face smashed lol ):

  • She has got very pretty eyes indeed.

  • Propriety would never have allowed them to quarrel so in public I think, even Lydia I don't think, would call out in that manner.

  • A lot of talk about balls.

  • Jane kind of looks like a very slightly chubbier Ashley Tisdale to me...

  • she looks like a man.

  • ashley tisdale is fake and ugly:)

    so i cant agree

  • I think that Mary would be rather pretty if she just smiled once in a while! :-/

  • @HisForever21706 Marry will be one of those bedroom superstars when a man shows her whats up. A big prick is all thats needed to cheer her up.

  • One ting I love about nearly any version of P&P is recognizing the extras in their different clothes at the various parties and other events :D

  • I never paid attention to that... thanks for the hint

  • i love how darcy just stares at lizzy like all the time! haha

  • Yes! how romantic :)

  • i love how mr. bennet wipes his mouth on the tablecloth.

  • I feel so bad for poor Jane at the end! You can tell how humiliated she feels between her mother and Bingley's sisters.

  • Mr. Bingley's sisters look like drag queens lol

  • yah they r strange!!

  • Miss Bingley has some good qualitys and you couldnt call her any more than a snob and that wasnt her fault as such, but she called for help when Jane was taken ill at the dinner and also tried advising Lizzie on Wickham at the ball but Lizzie was still bloody minded at that point, i would say she was no worse than any snob back in these days.

    The worse people with riches though are those that were working class and marry rich men, it changes everything.

    Mentioning no names.

  • Miss Bingley is a very strange women, she seems to know the way of the world but its obvious she has know Darcy for some time as her brother is his best friend. Knowing all this and that he has never made an advance toward her why does she delude herself into thinking that he wants her. Maybe she should hit on the horse that Darch rides, looks wise they would be a match.

  • @stickitupyourasteric She doesn't care if he wants her. She wants him. :) I loved the way she didn't seem to care at all that Jane was ill,

  • I think the actress who played Caroline Bingley is awesome. She really makes you want to kick Caroline in the face, despite the fact that it's a movie, and they're all just acting.

  • Did anyone else realize that 'Caroline Bingley was also 'Duck feet' from 4 weddings and a funeral...... cracking stuff, capital definitely capital, as Lord Lucas... :0)x

  • YES! i always think of her as duck face no matter the role she's in lol.

  • @silversmith8 Very true, the casting is excellent in this version. I especially love Lizzy, and Mr. Darcy, of course. =]

  • @silversmith8 she's a distant relative to jane austen. Jane Austen is her great-great-great... aunt.

  • I love the characters in this version. Espeically Mr. Bingley! He's so darn cute :P

  • @franco121760

    WHY are you wasting your time.

    any girl who reads this will just think that your an ugly guy who's stuck in a sucky marriage, and that's wy you feel that you have to lie to other women to feel just a little bit better about yourself and your bad choices in life

  • caroline bennet has DESPERATION written all over her face... ahahahahahaahahah eat your heart out, fool!

  • Oohh! Hoighty toity!

  • The only thing that matters is what the book says...this party is on the book....

  • Well, the lake scene for example, is not.

  • obnoxious vipper of a woman.

  • She DOES have really pretty eyes. . .

  • Hahaha, Ms. Bingley is so gnarly in this version. And Elizabeth is charming.

  • i love that miss bingley thinks that mr. darcy is talking about her eyes at first haha! i hate that women.

  • the funny thing is that they say Charlotte is meant to be the plane friend but the actress in this version is really pretty.

  • @halistra24 I was thinking the same thing.

  • He's making passion eyes!

  • was this party in the 2005 movie?

  • yea it was in the 2005 movie. Ciara Knightly aka Lizzie runs up to Charlotte and talks to her - I think this was before the cousin, Mr Collins proposed to her the next morning.

  • Acutally, I don't think it was. That party in the 2005 version was at the Bingley's house, and it was more like a ball, not a party. The party in this version was at the Lucas's house.

  • funny

    i thought this was such a chick flick, and I am surprised men watch it too.

  • Comment removed

  • LOL! yes, theres a few of us that do.

  • he was GLARING at her like wtf,

  • @16animechick:

    haha, it's quite a Darcy thing to do.

  • Comment removed

  • I agree, from a man's opinion i would of personally gone for Charlotte, certainly the most safe of all the Hertfordshire lady's.

  • Good to see a mans opinion on here lol. All I keep seeing is aww Mr Darcy this and Mr Darcy that:D Forget Darcy what about the lovely ladies hehehe

  • omg, I hate Mrs. bennet, she's eve nmroe annoying in the movie -_-

  • Charlotte is the voice of reason. It's too bad she had to settle for a loser husband.

  • Mr.Darcy is so charming!

  • Denny is really cute, but Sanderson is ugly!

    haha it is so funny when mr. Darcy says, Miss Elizabeth Bennet.

  • poor jane jaja what she had to go through just because of her mother

  • Ooh Denny's actually quite cute :)

    Erg I hate how some of the Bennet's embarrass themselves in this scene... and they don't even get it that they are... *rolls eyes*

  • @Imidri What's worse is that my mother is just like Mrs Bennett. I'm not even exaggerating.

  • : / Ooh...

  • I think Lizzy and Mr. Darcy and Mrs. Bennett are just so much better than in the version from 2005, but I like Jane and Charlotte from 2005 more than those... But of course this version is and will stay the best ;)

  • I watched the 2005 film earlier today and was very disappointed! What a shambles indeed!

    The 1995 version rules!!!!!!! :D The whole cast in this version do a spectacular job.

  • @bored574

    it disapponited me so much...and i had to pretend to like it.

  • i love how he says, miss elizabeth bennett.....

  • I agree i dunno theres something about her. I like her but not as lizzie

  • he's such a miserable bastard - I love it! this is such a great version, brilliantly acted

  • is kitty older or younger than mary?

  • the chronologic order of the girls:

    Jane

    Lizzy

    Mary

    Kitty

    Lydia

  • mrs.bennet has everything planned out.

  • Miss Caroline Bingley seems to me like Popeye's Olivia...

  • "Capital, capital" Best comment ever!

  • @salzkindt lol ..... it should be kept alive! i'm going to make a point of using it :))
