I prefer the film actually. It may not have been accurate but it was more realistic than this series. I can almost feel how it might have been like to live in the 18th century. And just an observation, this proposal feels so unloving. The words say his feelings but how come its not showing? He doesn't have to exaggerate his actions or facial expressions but at least the intonation should have shown how he felt.
reading the book- I don't think the 2005 film was quite accurate about Mr. Darcy's pride and character, but putting that inside I still truly enjoy the film even if it wasn't and I don't think theres anything wrong with that, If I like both
I've always been conflicted about this series. Jennifer Ehle had it in her to be the finest Elizabeth Bennet ever, only the direction of the film as a whole went astray more often than not. But Colin Firth is absolutely atrocious. Such wooden and self-conscious acting! He's certainly no Olivier. And horrid chemistry between the two of them, which I lay entirely to the charge of Firth.
@AladdinSE i was under the impression that self-consciousness was one of the personality traits of mr. darcy. at least, that was the first impression i got when i watched his body language. is he not supposed to be self conscious?
So ironic.. the first version that I watch was that one on 2005 but when I heard Mr Darcy I was thinking in Colin Firth, he's tottally a mr Darcy.. but I like both versions :)
i just love to see how man in the past respect woman. the way they propose, confess their love and truly care, admit their faults and learn from it. what a gentleman. it's difficult to find man similar to that nowadays. same goes to how woman respect man too. =)
I think Keira and Matthew are a better Lizzie and Darcy and I like that movie better, though I must say I like this version too because they sticked better to the book.
When I heard about the BBC version of Pride AND Prejudice I went straight to find it and watch it myself. Damn. I wish I was Lizzy every time she's next to Mr. Darcy!!!!
When I saw the film I hated it and still aren't that fond but Kiera was okay as Elizabeth. But Jen and Colin are AMAZING!!! I've watched this series since i was six and now I'm fifteen-I make a point of watching it every year....or twice!
@MissSamiexx Uhh..I beg to differ. His acting was a tad too theatrical and was leaning towards being a tad dry. Would've been perfect if it were done on stage rather than on television. The realism that I was looking for was somehow lost in the series. It had that aura of "practicing" rather than acting. Don't get me wrong, Colin Firth is a great actor, his interpretation of Mr. Darcy was just a tad lacking for me.
Well then ofcourse you are not a fan of Austen, I am not either, yet I am a fan of ACCURACY, and there for like this version. Hollywood just screws everything up nowadays, they just give you the same thing all the time, all they want to do is sell, like Mcdonalds, they will give you something that you know is not good for you. Damn all those adulterated products!
I don't know why everyone must choose to either like the bbc version or the movie. I like them both! I mean, of course in the series everything is much larger and you get to know the characters better. But I think the movie is also very good, and I have to say that I prefer matthew as mr. darcy but that is just my taste. But anyway both of the versions are able to make me feel butterflies in my stomach.
To everyone who thinks there's no emotion or chemistry in this (the BEST) version: You're wrong. Kissing, hugging, and touching aren't the only ways to show love. There's body language, and it speaks volumes here. Look at his eyes when she declares her feelings...if that's not a man in love I don't know what is. Darcy and Elizabeth barely touch through the series, but the looks they give each other could melt steel. Now that's some fine acting, and no other version even comes close.
@TheGypsyette I really like your comment. There is emotion and chemistry.The touching isn't actually that necessary here. Anyway when were men and women allowed to touch each other in public? At balls and little more, I guess, so it won't match the time in which the story is set to do otherwise. But this fact makes any slight touch feel so electric,like the way they look at each other. you realise the protagonists are fine actors.

I was never much a fan of Pride & Prejudice but the last shot where they kiss made me cry. I love Elizabeth and Mr Darcy so much and this scene is also very amazing especially when she's like... they are quite the opposite, I was really awe struck. Just started reading the book.
Colin Firth IS THE Mr. Darcy. Anyone who reads the book can see that. Not to put down anyone else who plays him, but they are simply playing a role that really can't be touched.
Someone should make the book 'Presumption' into a movie, it's just too bad they might not be able to get the same actors. If you don't know what 'Presumption' is, it is the sequal to 'Pride and Prejudice' from the point of view of Mr. Darcy's sister Georgiana. It is not written by the same author, but I enjoyed it alot.
@Milkmouse1966 There are several 'Pride and Prejudice' sequels, I've read at least three and not come across 'Presumption'. So it would be incredibly hard to make a sequel, as no body agrees on what the plot should be.
'Mr Darcy Takes a Wife: Pride and Prejudice continued' by Linda Berdoll (you might not like that one, it has a few X rated scenes) and its sequel 'Darcy and Elizabeth: Days and Nights at Pemberly' by the same author.
'Mr Darcy's obession' by Abigail Reynolds (That one is more of an alternate plot)
and 'Mr Darcy's Little Sister' by C. Allyn Pierson, which is a sequel from Georgiana's eyes.
@Elriaen I looked up'Presumption Pride and Prjudice' on Google (you can get it on amazon too) and it is written by a woman named Julia Barrett (who, a couple pages ino the book, is revealed to be two authors of two different names).
i must admit, its super annoying how everyone is like " o my gosh, no emotion, hugs, holding hands or anything" thats just not what they did back then. You may notice Jane and Mr. Bingley didn't do that, they didn't say i love you and hold hands. I guess that's just not what they did, they didn't show loves of feeling or emotions. P.S. This is my favorite scene in the whole movie! I love Colin Firth.
i found this version to be very boring and not romantic enough and he is a horrible Mr Darcy the book kept me up all night and this put me to sleep in like 10 min the movie version is much better
oh this movie and the book ... all jane austen's classics make me smile , laugh , cry , expess all kinds of feelings ... Ehle and Firth are so wonderful in this scene !
@ysmn68 To each his own, but I think you're quite mistaken. This one seems far more true to the book than Kiera Knightley's portrayal. Much as I love Kiera and her portrayal as well, her characterization was clearly "modernized" a fair bit.
This movie is the single most amazing adaptation I have ever encountered. Its language is true to the novel while adding its own something extra. This quality is difficult to describe, but constantly present. I love the onscreen chemistry between Jennifer Ehle and Collin Firth.
And may I say - Collin Firth in this movie is the biggest hunk I have ever seen in a period drama. Sensuality rolls off his back. no actor, whether a hunk in real life or not has his presence.

am i completely mad to close my eyes and pretend that he is saying this to me? ugh my overpowering infatuation with colin firth is definitely borderline psychotic.
Hey, whats up. Come by my channel and watch my covers for songs like Fall For You by Secondhand Serenade, House of the Rising sun by The Animals, or Let It Be by The Beatles. Peace
I haven't seen this version of Pride and Prejudice, but from this clip it seems a lot more realistic, compared to the book, than the 2005 one... however, I can't help but cringe at the stiffness of the dialogue, which sounded much better on paper than on screen...
@Marievska I can understand your aversion to the "old English" here, however if you watch the movie\miniseries from the beginning, the language grows much more beautiful than just looking at a clip. Just as the book is difficult to read at the beginning if you're reading it for the first time, watching a clip does not give a true sense of how beautifully portrayed this version is, especially the dialogue and delievery. Though a bit long, if you loved the book, you must give this version a try!
@serendipity375 It's not exactly the language that I have a problem with, but more the manners... from a viewer living in the 21st century, they're acting so stiffly! Where is the passion? Then again, if I really want passion I souldn't be looking for it in Auten's work :P Anyway, I might try watching the whole thing someday, so that I really have something valid to say about it...
Concerning manners and P and P... as a male... I love the story also... for myself it has to do in part with the period... I would not call "Had you behaved in a more gentleman like manner," "old English," it is perfectly recognizable to any person who actually can speak the language and has read it in literature. The contrast to our... truly vulgar lowest comment denominator lazy ugliness and the manners in this period is sadly, stark. I love the bow in polite company signifying respect.
I've loved this ever since I saw it when I was 9 years old. And to this day I believe it to be the adaptation that is the closest to the book, both in actor/character representation, and script, and is the most historically accurate. I will forever be grateful for being exposed to this at so young an age, for I can trace my interest in literature to this movie. I applaud all who worked on it, they made it magical for me.
I haven't seen the series but I love the movie, Pride & Prejudice is one of my favorite books, however this scene feel a little stiff to me, there not much emotion. I like the actors in the movie better.
I think Matthew MacFadyen and Kiera Knightly were just as good as Lizzy and Darcy - don't blame them for a butchered script. They are only actors under the control of someone who thought they could rewrite Jane Austen (???) and a director who made everyone look kind of messy.
Hm, I haven't watched this version yet, only the 2005 one. I loved the 2005 one, just because Matthew McFadyen is more my kind of guy than Colin Firth. I've never thought Colin Firth was attractive, regardless of what role he's playing. But maybe I'll go find the DVD of this one and give it a shot. He definitely won't win out over Matthew for being hot in my eyes, though :D
No, the Knightly/Macfadyen version was just... weird. Too contemporary and almost New Age-y. However, Keira was a prettier Elizabeth; this woman looks 35-yrs-old and as if she's wearing waaaaay too much makeup.
I can relate to both sides, I have seen the 6 hour version and Colin Firth plays a perfect book to book cover of Darcy. McFayden plays a perfect 1 1/2 version of Darcy. This world is big enough for two men to play the same character, and it is also big enough for the true Jane Austin fan and the new one who loves a shorter version. It completely just depends on what mood you are in. There is no right or wrong here.
@TreeandJR I totally agree. I LOVE the book and I can enjoy both version of the movie or I guess I should say screen version. The BBC version is truer to the book but it had more time to work with. I think I like the movie better, though, but that may only be because I saw it first so my opinion was swayed.
@TreeandJR im so glad someone said this, i enjoy both versions and cant really decide which ones better. i love both mr darcys and it really depends on how much time i have as to which one i watch. everyone immediately puts down the movie but i like it and im glad im not the only one.
@TreeandJR I love it that you said that! Most people get into nasty debates about both movies. I am a true Austen fan. I've read the book soooo many times I've lost count and I've watched both versions too. I love both and it truly depends on what mood you're in :D THANK YOU!

Elizabeth's flawed anyway, and what authority did she have on affairs of the heart? Only herself.
Even in Becoming Jane it highlights that she married darcy for his big house and wealth.

this Elizabeth seems to me as a weak character. I like Kiera Knightley because she's more bold in speech and actions like the book character.

@ysmn68 To each his own, but I think you're quite mistaken. This one seems far more true to the book than Kiera Knightley's portrayal. Much as I love Kiera and her portrayal as well, her characterization was clearly "modernized" a fair bit.

This movie is the single most amazing adaptation I have ever encountered. Its language is true to the novel while adding its own something extra. This quality is difficult to describe, but constantly present. I love the onscreen chemistry between Jennifer Ehle and Collin Firth.
And may I say - Collin Firth in this movie is the biggest hunk I have ever seen in a period drama. Sensuality rolls off his back. no actor, whether a hunk in real life or not has his presence.

I haven't seen this version of Pride and Prejudice, but from this clip it seems a lot more realistic, compared to the book, than the 2005 one... however, I can't help but cringe at the stiffness of the dialogue, which sounded much better on paper than on screen...
Marievska 1 year ago
@Marievska I can understand your aversion to the "old English" here, however if you watch the movie\miniseries from the beginning, the language grows much more beautiful than just looking at a clip. Just as the book is difficult to read at the beginning if you're reading it for the first time, watching a clip does not give a true sense of how beautifully portrayed this version is, especially the dialogue and delievery. Though a bit long, if you loved the book, you must give this version a try!
serendipity375 11 months ago
@serendipity375 It's not exactly the language that I have a problem with, but more the manners... from a viewer living in the 21st century, they're acting so stiffly! Where is the passion? Then again, if I really want passion I souldn't be looking for it in Auten's work :P Anyway, I might try watching the whole thing someday, so that I really have something valid to say about it...
Marievska 11 months ago
Concerning manners and P and P... as a male... I love the story also... for myself it has to do in part with the period... I would not call "Had you behaved in a more gentleman like manner," "old English," it is perfectly recognizable to any person who actually can speak the language and has read it in literature. The contrast to our... truly vulgar lowest comment denominator lazy ugliness and the manners in this period is sadly, stark. I love the bow in polite company signifying respect.

I've loved this ever since I saw it when I was 9 years old. And to this day I believe it to be the adaptation that is the closest to the book, both in actor/character representation, and script, and is the most historically accurate. I will forever be grateful for being exposed to this at so young an age, for I can trace my interest in literature to this movie. I applaud all who worked on it, they made it magical for me.

I feel like Jennifer Ehle forgot her lines here for some reason. Right around "Quite the opposite." I love this version but that part always bugs me.

I think Matthew MacFadyen and Kiera Knightly were just as good as Lizzy and Darcy - don't blame them for a butchered script. They are only actors under the control of someone who thought they could rewrite Jane Austen (???) and a director who made everyone look kind of messy.

Hm, I haven't watched this version yet, only the 2005 one. I loved the 2005 one, just because Matthew McFadyen is more my kind of guy than Colin Firth. I've never thought Colin Firth was attractive, regardless of what role he's playing. But maybe I'll go find the DVD of this one and give it a shot. He definitely won't win out over Matthew for being hot in my eyes, though :D

No, the Knightly/Macfadyen version was just... weird. Too contemporary and almost New Age-y. However, Keira was a prettier Elizabeth; this woman looks 35-yrs-old and as if she's wearing waaaaay too much makeup.

I can relate to both sides, I have seen the 6 hour version and Colin Firth plays a perfect book to book cover of Darcy. McFayden plays a perfect 1 1/2 version of Darcy. This world is big enough for two men to play the same character, and it is also big enough for the true Jane Austin fan and the new one who loves a shorter version. It completely just depends on what mood you are in. There is no right or wrong here.

@TreeandJR I totally agree. I LOVE the book and I can enjoy both version of the movie or I guess I should say screen version. The BBC version is truer to the book but it had more time to work with. I think I like the movie better, though, but that may only be because I saw it first so my opinion was swayed.
