Pride & Prejudice (1940) - First Proposal

These days, I watched again Pride & Prejudice, taking particular attention to the 1980's (not 1979, as I wrote in the opening) version. The first proposal is, for me, the part that defines if you're a good Darcy/Elizabeth. For that reason, I'm putting the three sequences (1980/1995/2005) for a better comparison. But, It would not be complete without the 1940's version... Well, I do not like it much, Pride & Prejudice was turned into a comedy, but it's not bad at all. Greer Garson is a great actress, but just an ordinary Lizzie (*I don't like to see her crying in this sequence, sounds fake*), and I love Laurence Olivier but he is too dandy like as Darcy... But in this scene he's OK, but he touches Lizzie... Well, you can judge by yourself. ^_^


Esses dias, eu assisti novamente Orgulho & Preconceito, tendo especial atenção à versão de 1980. A primeira proposta é, para mim, a parte que define se você é um bom Darcy ou uma boa Elizabeth. Por esse motivo, estou colocando as três seqüências (1980/1995/2005), para uma melhor comparação. Mas, essa amostragem não seria completa sem a versão de 1940 ... Bem, eu não gosto muito dela, Orgulho e Preconceito foi transformado em uma comédia, mas não é ruim de forma alguma. Greer Garson é uma grande atriz, mas apenas uma comum Lizzie (*não gosto de vê-la chorar nessa cena, parece fingimento*), e eu amo Laurence Olivier, mas ele é muito dandy, muito afetado como o Darcy. Estranhamente, nesta seqüência ele está muito bem, mas ele toca em Elizabeth... Bem, você pode julgar por si mesmo. ^ _ ^

The 1995 version is the closest version. The dialogue is almost word-perfect. =D

what;s that???Darcy so emotional??He doesn't show his feelings easily!I mean the true Mr. Darcy is the one in the 1995 version with Colin Firth!He gives the character perfectly!But what's that??And the costums and Lizzy's part, awful!!!

i think that when watching this version of Pride and Prejudice, you gotta remember the year! It was 1940; and yeah it ain't faithful to the book, what with over-emotional Darcy and not to mention Lizzy's dress sense but that was Hollywood then, overly lovey dovey' lol;

Concordo com você. Pra falar verdade, acho que essa Elizabeth está "metida". Mas ainda prefiro a Lizzy de 2005.

Hi, does anyone happen to know which of the versions is nearest to the book' s original dialog? I have not read the book yet but I would really like to know :)

Btw, I as well do not like this version at all! Actually, I think that the version of 1995 is the most authentic one (but perhaps that is just because I saw the 95' version first and have a slight crush on Colin Firth^^)

Wtf dis version is shit, who in the world would sit down while offering a proposal ? N Lizzy cries? Wtf shes a strong girl, she doesnt cry that easily
