I have to disagree with a lot of people and say that I loved the 2005 version the best. I might be biased because I saw it before the BBC version or reading the book (and I love Keira Knightley) but I feel that Elizabeth is such a stronger character in the 2005 version than either the book or the 1995 adaptation. Lizzie seems so much more sensible and independent in this version. i'm more of a Jane Eyre girl honestly but I think the 2005 movie is fantastic in every way.
the 2005 version is definitely the best version, no doubt. The music was fabulous, and there was much chemistry between Matthew and Kiera. I adore it :)
The 1950 version is so inaccurate. They never would have worn those kinds of garments in the beginning of the 19th century, and also the acting in that movie is inaccurate as well. Mr Darcy was never that genial and Elizabeth is way too... I don't even know what she's doing. I think the most accurate portrayal of the book was the newest one. And of course Judi Dench does a fantastic job as Lady Catherine. I just think it's the best version.
@rosyboe its in the soundtrack of the Pride and the Prejudice I think its called dawn. But for some reason the soundtrack is interconnected having the same key, so they might sound similar to others in the soundtrack .
It's so funny that Lizzie says she's not very good and in the 1940 and 1995 version she's actually pretty good, but then in the 2005 version she is awful! haha
It's interesting how each newer version strips Lizzie's playing further down till she sounds like a beginner. I think the 1995 piano performance is probably the most appropriate.
think the Darcys in the two version (this one and the 2005 one) are different but they are still Mr. Darcy. In this one they had more time so they were able to focus a lot more on Mr. Darcy's pride and suposed pompousnous. But in the movie Mr. Darcy had to be more likeable faster or then the auidience would never had anytime to like him. So they focused more on Mr. Darcy's shyness and vunerability. I love both versions very much, they are just the different sides of book Mr. Darcy.
Thank you so much for taking the time to put this piece together!!!!! It was a joy to watch!!!! It was seamless when compared with the dialogue from the book! :-)
The most historically correct dress & manner of behaviour is the 1995 version. I personally find the 1940 version most correct in speech, accent & feel.
Thanks for taking the time to do this. The most recent version has nothing to do with Jane Austen. It's way too "hollywood"....pouting lips from both Keira Knightly and Darcy, a complete disregard for how they would have appeared - in terms of dress.... hair made to appeal to today's need to be sensual & seductive. That is NOT how it was in Jane Austen's England.
Hi! I'm ana and I love your video, it's fantastic but i have a question for you What song is plying liziee in 1995? I'm looking for but i dont know the name. Thank you so much. :)
This submission is nicely done! The BBC version with Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth is superior to its counterparts in every way. It seems to strive for accuracy. The 1940 version (though blessed with Miss Oliver's participation) tends to reflect the mores and values of Hollywood's golden age rather than Miss Austen's time, while the 2005 version reflects the decadence of its own time. Must every story be retold in terms of the self-centred arrogance and sloppiness of the Twenty-first century?
mmmm just judging by this video, 2005 Darcy (MacFayden) looks melancolic, and the 1995 Darcy (Firth) is more... I don't know, proud. I did not read the book, though, but I like the 2005 version better, judging by THAT video
@Hootshot112 Since both the book and the movie are called "PRIDE and Prejudice", Mr Darcy should be proud rather than melancholic :) I liked Matthew McFayden in "Spooks", but here... with that look of a sad puppy... He's not Mr Darcy. He should make a passable Mr Bingley and Keira Knightley would be quite a qood Lydia, but they were sadly miscast. Not to mention the fact that the script for the 2005 movie is much weaker than to the 1995 mini-series.
@Hootshot112 Then I strongly recommend the book to you :) I don't know anyone who didn't like it, even my brothers, when I finally persuaded them to read it. They also love the 1995 series.What's interesting, one of my brothers thinks the actress playing Jane very beautiful, while she was criticised by many women as not that beautiful as she should be :)
@tubedebby I've only seen parts of the 1995 but the 2005 version has far better cinematography in my opinion. The 1995 version just seems a bit bland. Also after seeing Judi Dench play Lady Catherine, all others fall short imo.
I also think you and others are missing the point of adaptation. Most film scholars agree that the goal is not to stay perfectly true to the source material, as this is impossible.
@Hootshot112 than you should read the book, because MacFayden's Darcy is nothing like the Darcy Jane austen created. Colin firth on the other hand is perfect. Colin Firth does not play Mr Darcy, he IS Darcy
I've read this part in the book, and the 1995 version is by far the best interpretation, it's just the lizzy and Darcy it is described, although I don't like very much the 2005 one, I have to admit, the other one is so much worst and ridiculous! Lol
1995 version puts the others to shame. But I do love Edna Mae Oliver... wonderful actress. Judi Dench was miscast. Barbara Leigh-Hunt is incredible in the role. My favorite scene in the film is with her confronting Lizzie towards the end.
None are better than the other - 1995 was a TV miniseries, while 2005 was a feature film - so it probably comes down to a partiality to one medium of entertainment above the other
The 2005 version is so much better than the other versions. It is so much shorter than the 1995 version which was like 6 hours in all. Also Kiera Knightley is a lot better that Jennifer Ehle.
@DMM1717 Why on earth would you come to a clip of the 1995 miniseries to comment on how 2005 is better? What is the purpose of that? People who comment here obviously like the 1995 version better, so what is the point in commenting here?
That said, I thought Keira Knightley made Lizzy into a stubborn rude teenager, but that is my own opinion.
THE difference is vast but its due to the length of the movie the 1995 version is much longer, it allows the scenes to be completed, instead of rushed through like 2005. 1940 version is also rushed THE DIRECTOR OF PULP FICTION SAID IT BEST WHATEVER HIS NAME WAS THAT HE LIKED THE AUDIENCE TO GET TO KNOW THE CHARACTERS, SO HIS MOVIES ARE LONGER.
Does anyone know the classical piece that Jennifer Ehle is playing in the BBC 1995 version? I know Carl Davis did P&P's intro song, but I can't find a "soundtrack" anywhere. The other songs are all Mozart and Beethoven so I'm assuming this is similar.
@WhiteMage0 search Pride and Prejudice soundtrack on amazon, you can buy the cd there. As for what Lizzy is playing during the Rosings piano scene, I don't recognize it; it could easily be something Davis wrote as a filler.
the 1995 version is most certainly the best. but can you please tell me what song she was playing on the piano? and why on earth didn't they release a soundtrack?! lol
I believe that question has been answered before - she's playing part of the score, composed by Carl Davis. And they did release a soundtrack, it's available at Amazon or iTunes or other places. :)
I love both the 1995 and 2005 versions for their own reasons, and I really can't say if there's one I love more than the other. They're both at the top of my all-time list. If you take my favorite elements out of both versions--the script, cast, and running time in '95 and the music, cinematography, camera movements, etc. in '05,--and mashed them together; holy cow, that would be the greatest film of all-freakin'-time.
I'm not sure why you think they should be 1790 when the book was published in 1813 (yes, she did a draft earlier, but revised it before publishing). The point about the costumes in the 1940 version being Victorian has been made before...since they were reused from Gone With the Wind to save money, it is not surprising.
the filmmakers of the 2005 movie version chose the 1790ies fashion for Lizzy's country society because it was supposed to show the more reduced circumstances and that country society was not at the height of fashion.
also, the book may well have been published in 1813. but the question is: was the storyline taking place in that particular year or maybe a earlier...?
@BrionyMae but the 1995 and 2005 are also using different styles.
when you look at english fashion plates from the 1790ies you don't see the style they used in the 1995 version. there you have the true à la grecque which evolved from france's neo-classical era in fashion. and in the 2005 version you see the fuller skirts and lower waits. only miss bingley whose money allows her to be a precursor in fashion is wearing this style...
Keira's playing a simpler version of 'Dawn' composed by Dario Marinelli for the P&P soundtrack. You can find the original and complete version on the soundtrack CD :-).
i didn't know there was a version from the 1940. i still prefer matthew macfadyen, colin firth was good but all the other ones seemed to open and cheerful to be mr. darcy.
I've never seen the 1940's version of Pride and Predjudice, though I have seen the both later versions and I think the 1995 is the best one of them. Not just because it's a longer version, but I think the cast is much better than in the other one too. Both Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth are so realistic in their roles as Elizabeth and mr. Darcy :) Especially Jennifer Ehle, she's exactly as I had always pictured Eliza to be ^^
I think the 2005 version is the best one ever made I have studied Pride And Prejudice for 3 years to comment on it on the A.Q.A. coursework and although its only a short version the scenes are best portrayed on the 2005 version.
I agree. Indeed it was the first one I saw, but I think Knightley gave the best portrayal of Elizabeth. I've seen most of the adaptations, and so far the 2005 version still holds top place as, what I believe, to be the most romantic and breathtaking.
Unique idea to combine the perspectives of all three movies for the same scene. It was interesting to watch. I agree with a lot of you in saying 1995 was the best version. I've seen it who knows how many times and I never tire of it. 2:14-2:15 makes me squirm like a schoolgirl! :) First time in the whole movie we see a glimmer of a smile from Mr. Gorgeous. Love it, love it!
That's odd - English Captions for an English movie (1940)! What was that about? Though I have to admit - that British upper-crust accent can be tricky1 :-)
Totally agree about 1995 - Ehle and Firth hit it out of the ballpark - the whole cast did. The whole of it is a pleasure to watch - and watch - and watch... :-)
BBC version is clearly the best! Though never seen the 1940s version and does look funny but i don't think is staying true enough to the novel from what i can see here.
Colin Firth is amazing - best bit at 3:40 when he rolls his eyes at LC, very funny
I always felt that Matthew Macfadyen looked more like the Darcy I imagined when I first read the novel, but that Colin Firth better captured the emotions and mannerisms of the character.
This was really interesting. I'd never seen anything from the 1940 film...wow. I just can't get over Lizzy's dress and Mr. Darcy's sucking up - it's just too funny. I'll have to see if I can find it somewhere and watch the whole thing! Thanks for posting.
I really like the fact you took one scene and showed it from all the diffrent movies. I've only seen the 2005 version, but the 1940 one looms quite goofy, but I should see the Collin Firth one I guess since I hear it's so great. Though, I don't like the Elziabeth in the movie.....
You HAVE to see the 1995 one. I didn't want to see it at first cuz I thought it would be so LONG, but now watching that is about 1/5 of my movie life and considering how many movies a person watches in their lifetime thats quite a lot
"And if I had ever learnt, I should be a true proficient!" Such a hilarious and haughty Lady Catherine in the BBC '95 version. Definitely the best for me.
It's hard to compete with a mini-series as far as telling the whole story - and I think that all of those actors in it were superb.
yes that Lady Catherine was totally unforgettable... i like Judi Dench but she isn't a patch on the other actress in this part. i also agree that the BBC version is far more authentic. Keira is just too modern-looking, i find it impossible to believe she is supposed to be someone from that era.
I have to disagree with a lot of people and say that I loved the 2005 version the best. I might be biased because I saw it before the BBC version or reading the book (and I love Keira Knightley) but I feel that Elizabeth is such a stronger character in the 2005 version than either the book or the 1995 adaptation.

2005's version is actually good, I loved it, but it was more adjusted to modern people's characters; much angrier and rude to each other.
Anyway, everybody should read the book, it is excellent. Jane Austen could absolutely really draw characters in her novels.

I love 2005 version, it is the best, and the music of it is really good and better than the one in the other films.

The costumes in the 1940's version look very much out of date.
FantasmaLuna 2 years ago 7
@FantasmaLuna Oh they are. The costumes are from the later half of the 19th century. Jane Austin was from the very early 1800s.

Keira's playing a simpler version of 'Dawn' composed by Dario Marinelli for the P&P soundtrack. You can find the original and complete version on the soundtrack CD :-).

You should have put the 1980 version in there too, that would have been a lark (and better than 1940). This was fun!

I've never seen the 1940's version of Pride and Predjudice, though I have seen the both later versions and I think the 1995 is the best one of them. Not just because it's a longer version, but I think the cast is much better than in the other one too. Both Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth are so realistic in their roles as Elizabeth and mr. Darcy :) Especially Jennifer Ehle, she's exactly as I had always pictured Eliza to be ^^

I think the 2005 version is the best one ever made I have studied Pride And Prejudice for 3 years to comment on it on the A.Q.A. coursework and although its only a short version the scenes are best portrayed on the 2005 version.
antonimbret 3 years ago
I agree. Indeed it was the first one I saw, but I think Knightley gave the best portrayal of Elizabeth. I've seen most of the adaptations, and so far the 2005 version still holds top place as, what I believe, to be the most romantic and breathtaking.

Unique idea to combine the perspectives of all three movies for the same scene. It was interesting to watch. I agree with a lot of you in saying 1995 was the best version. I've seen it who knows how many times and I never tire of it. 2:14-2:15 makes me squirm like a schoolgirl! :) First time in the whole movie we see a glimmer of a smile from Mr. Gorgeous. Love it, love it!

That's odd - English Captions for an English movie (1940)! What was that about? Though I have to admit - that British upper-crust accent can be tricky1 :-)
Totally agree about 1995 - Ehle and Firth hit it out of the ballpark - the whole cast did. The whole of it is a pleasure to watch - and watch - and watch... :-)

the 1940's version was good but it was not the best
I have seen all three versions and the one with Jennifer Ehle is the best one. Jennifer's version was more balanced and more realistic.
In the 1940's version they made Elizabeth too perfect and 2005 Elizabeth was too bold without capturing Elizabeth's vulnerability.
Jennifer brought out different dimensions to Elizabeth she made her so realistic

I also thought that the 1940s adaptation made everybody too ridiculous, I wonder why..
But I liked KK and JE, they both added something..
And All the Darcys were fine, they portrayed the character differently..

BBC version is clearly the best! Though never seen the 1940s version and does look funny but i don't think is staying true enough to the novel from what i can see here.
Colin Firth is amazing - best bit at 3:40 when he rolls his eyes at LC, very funny
redgespid 3 years ago 2
I always felt that Matthew Macfadyen looked more like the Darcy I imagined when I first read the novel, but that Colin Firth better captured the emotions and mannerisms of the character.

This was really interesting. I'd never seen anything from the 1940 film...wow. I just can't get over Lizzy's dress and Mr. Darcy's sucking up - it's just too funny. I'll have to see if I can find it somewhere and watch the whole thing! Thanks for posting.

I really like the fact you took one scene and showed it from all the diffrent movies. I've only seen the 2005 version, but the 1940 one looms quite goofy, but I should see the Collin Firth one I guess since I hear it's so great. Though, I don't like the Elziabeth in the movie.....
but yeah, that was cool.

You HAVE to see the 1995 one. I didn't want to see it at first cuz I thought it would be so LONG, but now watching that is about 1/5 of my movie life and considering how many movies a person watches in their lifetime thats quite a lot

"And if I had ever learnt, I should be a true proficient!" Such a hilarious and haughty Lady Catherine in the BBC '95 version. Definitely the best for me.
It's hard to compete with a mini-series as far as telling the whole story - and I think that all of those actors in it were superb.
MillionthUsername 3 years ago
yes that Lady Catherine was totally unforgettable... i like Judi Dench but she isn't a patch on the other actress in this part. i also agree that the BBC version is far more authentic. Keira is just too modern-looking, i find it impossible to believe she is supposed to be someone from that era.
7plus77 3 years ago 4
No, No, No, No, No and No. The 1940 version was the most refined version of them all.
1980 made the story unaproachable.
1995 best adaptation.
2005 was o.k but felt they took a step backward with it.
Best Darcy Oliver/Firth both very good, but Rupert Penry-Jones from Jane Austins Persuasion would make an excellent Darcy.
