Kiera's Lizzy was more flirty or almost needy.. Ehle's Lizzy was right on the money.. She was challenging and that's exactly what Mr. Darcy fell in love with.. The moment she turned down his invitation to dance he was hooked. No girl would ever turn mr. Darcy! But she did and it made her interesting to him... I love that.
The BBC adaptation is more true to the novel (excepting the scene with the lake, but who could complain about that?) and the attention to detail is brilliant however the film's implied passion and Kiera's playful rendition of Elizabeth gives a whole new and doubtabley modern yet not undesirable percpective on the classic. I love both but for very different reasons.
I agree with you, yorkiecat4002, nobody smoulders quite like Colin Firth!! I have seen both & didn't like Kera Knightley's Lizzy, although I thoroughly enjoyed the film (despite the glaring inaccuracies in the way it prtrayed the Bennets). If you read the book, Jennifer Ehle portrays Lizzy just as Austen wrote her, she isn't as playful as Knightley made her, in fact Lizzy is quite wilful & decidedly fond of her own opinions of people (hence the Prejudice in the title to Darcy's Pride).
i actuay prefer all the characters from the film,especialy keira,she played it wonderfully,but the serie's mr darcy is the best darcy ever to be played!!! if only colin was the movie's darcy!!!
For the first 50 times that I watched this scene, I was swooning so much I didn't even notice that when Lizzie plays the instrument, it sounds like a harpsichord, and when Georgiana does, it sounds like piano. Did the editors think we wouldn't watch it enough to notice?
Argue at length but i still find this BBc addaptation of Brontes Pride & Prejudice to be the most successful of any period dramas that's been on British television.
The BBC stuck to the script and didnot deviate from it with acting and period sets to rival anything seen before or since.
How is it that i've seen this minie series a dozen times and only NOW do I realize that the same actress who plays Georgianna also plays Morgause on Merlin?
2:27 -> Admit it, ladies (and a few selected gents), you would rip your own clothes off and let Firth have his savage way with you if ever he gave you that look. I know I would :)
@paieusuntasta "Virginity" is overrated; it's not a gift, merely a lack of previous sexual experience. The most precious gift you have to give is your love and respect - virginity is only prized by men who feel insecure and have a need to be the only man their wife has ever known. Unless he's able to say you're the only woman he's ever known, don't worry about it.
@PrettyBonesArt Virginity is the most important for me because I have strong christian values. And I will merry only someone who believes the same. Even if you'll think I am a kind of freak and old fashioned, I don't care. Maybe that is why I like P&P so much because it promotes pure, romantic love and not sexual lust like the movies today.
@paieusuntasta I certainly don't think you're a freak, just wanted to encourage you not to feel that virginity, which isn't a quality or talent or skill of any kind, is the "most precious" thing you have to offer. If your belief system leads you to feel that having been sexually intimate with only your husband is important, that's great, but the fact of the matter is that virginity is merely a lack of having done something, and is only considered important in certain cultures.
@PrettyBonesArt I hate to intrude, but I must disagree with that comment. Virginity is not the lack of having done something. It means having the perseverance, self-control, and choosing NOT to do that something. Women who save themselves for marriage aren't doing it because of men's "insecurity". They're doing it because they have dedication to that one man. It's true that love is the greatest gift you can give. But saving yourself is a special commitment that reflects that love.
@ArgentumHorse In certain cultures, namely those that have traditionally viewed women as the de facto property of their husbands, that has become the accepted idea - that "saving" yourself for the supposedly one and only man you'll ever love is a sign of being a "good girl". In many cultures, women's sexuality was considered as important as men's, and virgins were considered undesirable because they felt it was evidence she was frigid or just unattractive to men.
@ArgentumHorse #2 - one of the cultures that viewed women as the property first of their fathers, then of their husbands, has given us the Judeo-Christian tradition, which has obviously spread globally and colors the entire Western culture. We think of these ideas as "normal" because they've been around for 2000 yrs, but if you had grown up in another culture where sexuality is considered a natural part of everyone's life and not solely the right of married people, you would have a different
@ArgentumHorse #3 perspective. None is more "right" than any other - they're all relative. When boys & men face the same pressure to remain "pure" for their future wives, I'll be more open to the idea of women reciprocating, but as it stands now, it's very uneven. That being said, everyone must make their own decisions, & if you truly believe you'll love only one man as long as you live and wish to remain a virgin for him, good for you. Hope he reciprocates...
@ArgentumHorse I respect your opinions, but please do consider what @PrettyBonesArt said. "Virginity" is a burden that has been foisted primarily on women as a way to control and shame them. It is well and fine if YOU want to save yourself for one man, but please don't be sanctimonious about it towards other women. It is a sickening double standard men can sleep with whomever they please, all while casting women aside as "tainted" if they do the same.
very good scene. I love Lizzy and Georgina here, but I just can't get used to Colin Firth. I'm sorry, don't scratch my eyes out for this, I think he is a very talented actor but I just don't find him attractive or charming at all.
@77sakunarusasu92 you see, at first I couldnt find Firth so handsome too. but, I dont know if it was his wonderful acting or what, but I already think he is very attractive :)
I dare anyone NOT to grin like a complete idiot during the first 9 seconds or so of this video...That look and that smile are the only changes I would want added on to the book...But I've seen this series so many times and read the book so many times that my imagination can take over completely. Now when I watch this, my mind adds on all the scenes from the book that aren't in here; and when I read the book, I can see Colin firth and Jennifer ehle it out b4 my eyes...aah bliss!
I can not believe I never realized that the song she is playing/singing at the piano is Mozart! I just have never heard "Voi che sapete" in english before...
I just love the whole story it doesn't matter which movie, the book beats all. I've already condemned myself to the fate of never marrying anyone unless they can embody all that is Mr. Darcy.
This has to be my favourite scene! The expression on Colin's Mr. Darcy is just breath-taking. And I mean that in a literal sense. I am sure I could stare at that face right here for hours. It sparkles with such genuine love!
The book never comments on it, but this scene REALLY makes it clear how much of a gaffe it was for Caroline to mention Wickham. Small wonder Darcy never married her....
This series was my gateway drug to Jane Austin books... and the actors here are the best... I can't imagine these characters looking like anything but Jennifer and Colin... their gazes alone are breathtaking...! And the music... perfection. Utter perfection.
@margarbeast, this series has been the downfall of many a lady and gentleman--to the delights of Austen, the getting of wisdom only she, sly social critic that she was, can provide. I fear that as a "gateway drug", this P&P can best be called a narcotic.
This serie just grows on you .. Really. At first I was all like: The mom is so annoying (as she should be) and the hair and the clothes is so ugly! But then I was all like.. I LOVE MR. DARCY!
Colin Firth does an excellent job! - The best Mr. Darcy of all times.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
What was so impressive about her replies? I don't get it. And I prefer the Keira Knightly one. I am not a fan of jane austin, but I rather watch that version. This one seems boring.
@LizzieDoodle16 The genius of her replies is the way that she remains perfectly polite while showing up the Bingley sisters as bitchy and vain. Caroline particularly shows herself up by insulting Lizzy with Darcy's (and Georgiana's) least favourite person - Wickham - while trying to impress Darcy, so not only is she insulting Lizzy, who Darcy is in love with, but she is hurting Georginana by mentioning Wickham. Not the best way to get to his heart.
@LizzieDoodle16 However, the best moment in this scene, (and arguably the entire series) is at 2:22 - 2:28, because it is Lizzy's silent signal to Darcy that she believes him about what Wickham did to Georgiana, that she trusts him, and ultimately, loves him. That is why the series is generally considered better than the movie, as it has all of Austen's own subtle signals and clever wit, almost directly from the book. (Which I have read around 5 times, so I will call myself an Austen fan!)
Seriously want to bitchslap Miss Bingley in his scene. Lizzy is so quick-witted and socially graceful here! And Darcy is a dreamboat, but that hardly needs to be said.
how much does it cost to hire an oscar winning actor? i would like to hire collin firth for two minutes so he can look at me like he does lizzy in this scene....LOL!
I grew up with this series, so I pretty much know it by heart. But now that I am older ...that smoldering look from Mr. Darcy ( Collin Firth) .......it's almost to much to bare!! *swoon*
oh god THOSE EYES!!!...i melt if those eyes would stare at me face to face...and for one thing i do not care if colin firth is old...he is still gorgeous as ever... ;)
Love this scene, but my favorite one is the one after, when he wanders back into the music room late at night, reminiscing of the moment they caught eyes.. Zowweee!
A good Miss Bingly . I want to beat her over the head with something. lol She really doesn't get Mr. Darcy if she thinks he will approve of her visciousness. I think she just killed any respect he might have had toward her. What I don't get is the writers putting in the bit about, "and as you know, he's never wrong." YUK Lizzy would never say that. / It's funny that these women wore such modest lengths but were almost falling out of their tops. Poor men! :) Songs
Have watched this millions of times but the intensity never fades. If you watch it in conjunction with the previous scene where Georgiana invites her to play, the immediate jump cut to Colin's look just knocks you over with its intensity. Very well-crafted build of love and understanding between the two characters.
i dont like this actress playing elizabeth, is so bitter and unagreable, i wonder why darcy fall for her, she looks near her 30s instead of her 20s like the original character, no wonder why i didnt see her anywhere again
@berrykit i readed the book thats why i dont like this actress, lizzy is in her twenties, and this actress is in her late twenties or oass thirty, i also dislike the expression of her face, i wonder why she had two proposals
Sorry for my english, but I just wanted to say that I've always watched just the Keira's movie versione of Pride and Prejudice but....my god...this is soooo much better!!!!! So much similiar at the book...and this Mr Darcy (that honestly at the beginning I didn't like) is sooo perfect as Mr Darcy....in this video expecially!! I finally can see him exactly how "I feel him" in the book...It is difficult to explain it expecially in another language :P....but THANKS THANKS THANKS!!!!!
As a huge Pride and Prejudice fan, I made the unhappy mistake of watching the 2005 movie first. The film is good, I'll grant you that, but not a masterpiece by any stetch of the imagination. Lizzy lacks presence, Darcy lacks charisma. When compared to the BBC version, the movie seems a bit shallow.
I have now become completely intoxicated with the BBC version, and believe I watch all 6 episodes at a stretch at least once a week. Sad, I know, but... Colin Firth's Darcy? RAWR!
@sinharat Good ending for a scene! I think the film has good things but BBC series are 100% loyal to the book and the actors create the tension needed for the story.I hated the book when I studied it at Uni but after watching the series I fell in love with it. I watch P+P as people eat comfort food or use comfort ...alcohol.Today we had such tense meeting at work that a member of staff was taken to hospital in an ambulance(not exagerating,real life)and what was my getaway?P+P evening! Sad?maybe!
@sinharat I agree 100%, I was raised on the BBC version of the story and so the 2005 movie, well, I couldn't stand it to be honest. It's always refreshing to know other people have experienced what I think in my bias is the "true" movie adaptation
@sinharat Everybody have their obsession. I'm simply not impressed with the series, I like them but certainly don't see why Colin Firth is so hot. Certainly a great actor but he doesn't make that 'bang' for me...Enjoy your weekly view!
Colin Firth was the most favourite actor even before I saw this wonderfull TV serie... After watching Pride and Prejudice I'm sure he remains undoubtely my most favourite actor forever :)
I love this scene. First Darcy's look of tender love and then their mutual glance. It is my favourite scene. CF and JE are exactly the Darcy and Elizabeth I imagined while reading the book.
Now I understand why I felt in love with Colin Firth as an actor. I can see Darcy's love in his eyes while Lizzie is singing, he is like "oh my god this woman is amazing, I know why I'm in love with her...". Just incredible. Thanks for posting it ♥
@happyddesigns Yes, it's from Le Nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro). It is an "arietta" which in Italian is called "Voi, Che Sapete" (You, that know...). Cecilia Bartoli sings it beautifully if you are interested in hearing another rendition.
I grew up with this version and Colin Firth was my first actor crush... this whole movie is so subtle, full of tension and undercurrents and wonderfulness. Thank you BBC!!! Thanks for posting this!
That look at the end was so marvelous, and so faithful to the unsaid romance that's in the book; and I think it was greatly helped by the music, which resolved out of dissonance at the exact moment the camera catches Darcy's shoulders falling in a relaxed, dreamy sort of sigh.
Doesn't ANYONE agree with me that there has not been one single good-looking dreamy Mr.Darcy in any of adaptions? No offence, but in my head while reading the book I had a MUCH better looking version of him.
@dongtian00 I will not put a thumbs down on this because you have the right to your opinion but have you seen the version with Sir Lawrence Olivier? I saw it 45 years ago on late night tv and have compared men to him ever since. :) So glad to find it here on YT after all this time. Colin is handsome but over all I like the charm and wit of SLO better. When he grabs and kisses his stuffy aunt, it is SO funny. :)
Sigh. I just want to lick him.

That is why the series is generally considered better than the movie, as it has all of Austen's own subtle signals and clever wit, almost directly from the book. (Which I have read around 5 times, so I will call myself an Austen fan!)

Seriously want to bitchslap Miss Bingley in his scene. Lizzy is so quick-witted and socially graceful here! And Darcy is a dreamboat, but that hardly needs to be said.

A good Miss Bingly . I want to beat her over the head with something. lol She really doesn't get Mr. Darcy if she thinks he will approve of her visciousness. I think she just killed any respect he might have had toward her. What I don't get is the writers putting in the bit about, "and as you know, he's never wrong." YUK Lizzy would never say that. / It's funny that these women wore such modest lengths but were almost falling out of their tops. Poor men! :) Songs

Have watched this millions of times but the intensity never fades. If you watch it in conjunction with the previous scene where Georgiana invites her to play, the immediate jump cut to Colin's look just knocks you over with its intensity. Very well-crafted build of love and understanding between the two characters.

@cristinawilligs That's her character in the book, and she was actually in The King's Speech.
You should read the book. :) It's really good (and I think you'd like Jennifer Ehle better if you read it). I think she plays Lizzy quite well.

So much similiar at the book...and this Mr Darcy (that honestly at the beginning I didn't like) is sooo perfect as Mr Darcy....in this video expecially!! I finally can see him exactly how "I feel him" in the book...It is difficult to explain it expecially in another language :P....but THANKS THANKS THANKS!!!!!

As a huge Pride and Prejudice fan, I made the unhappy mistake of watching the 2005 movie first. The film is good, I'll grant you that, but not a masterpiece by any stetch of the imagination. Lizzy lacks presence, Darcy lacks charisma. When compared to the BBC version, the movie seems a bit shallow.
I have now become completely intoxicated with the BBC version, and believe I watch all 6 episodes at a stretch at least once a week. Sad, I know, but... Colin Firth's Darcy? RAWR!
sinharat 11 months ago 154
@sinharat Good ending for a scene! I think the film has good things but BBC series are 100% loyal to the book and the actors create the tension needed for the story.I hated the book when I studied it at Uni but after watching the series I fell in love with it. I watch P+P as people eat comfort food or use comfort ...alcohol.Today we had such tense meeting at work that a member of staff was taken to hospital in an ambulance(not exagerating,real life)and what was my getaway?P+P evening! Sad?maybe!

@sinharat I agree 100%, I was raised on the BBC version of the story and so the 2005 movie, well, I couldn't stand it to be honest. It's always refreshing to know other people have experienced what I think in my bias is the "true" movie adaptation

@sinharat Everybody have their obsession. I'm simply not impressed with the series, I like them but certainly don't see why Colin Firth is so hot. Certainly a great actor but he doesn't make that 'bang' for me...Enjoy your weekly view!

@happyddesigns Yes, it's from Le Nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro). It is an "arietta" which in Italian is called "Voi, Che Sapete" (You, that know...). Cecilia Bartoli sings it beautifully if you are interested in hearing another rendition.

That look at the end was so marvelous, and so faithful to the unsaid romance that's in the book; and I think it was greatly helped by the music, which resolved out of dissonance at the exact moment the camera catches Darcy's shoulders falling in a relaxed, dreamy sort of sigh.
diuscorvus 1 year ago 11
Doesn't ANYONE agree with me that there has not been one single good-looking dreamy Mr.Darcy in any of adaptions? No offence, but in my head while reading the book I had a MUCH better looking version of him.
dongtian00 1 year ago
@dongtian00 I will not put a thumbs down on this because you have the right to your opinion but have you seen the version with Sir Lawrence Olivier? I saw it 45 years ago on late night tv and have compared men to him ever since. :) So glad to find it here on YT after all this time. Colin is handsome but over all I like the charm and wit of SLO better. When he grabs and kisses his stuffy aunt, it is SO funny. :)
