My Personal Response: Let me start off by saying I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!! :) At first I thought this movie was going to be boring and ugh something from back then kind of a thing but as it started it became more interesting. I am one for a romance movie. So this movie is something i did pay close attention to. I liked how elizabeth and Mr. Darcy connected. At first they protrayed to others that they hated eachother. But you could tell deep down something was going to happen, maybe it was my instinct that i knew or it was just predictable. Through out the movie they keep "running in" to eachother or their always around one another. Although Mr.Darcy didn't want elizabeths sister to marry his friend, he starts to fall for elizabeth. If you watch this movie pay close attention to his eyes and the way he acts around her. I don't really know what to say but I really really enjoyed this movie and i wanted to write about it when i was done watching it at 2am. So i hope you watch it, and let me know what you think of it!Oh my gosh. Overachiever Megan!?! Since when??
I can't believe you did this...good job! :)
Did you read the book before you watched the movie?
Because I was going to rent it, but my parents haven't had time to go and get it with me.
So if anyone would be willing to let me borrow it, drop me a line please :D
Hey Megan! Pride and Prejudice is my favorite movie. I watch it all the time! I love the way that Darcy and Elizabeth's relationship progresses. Of the many themes in this movie i have noticed that the greatest is probably the way that Austen shows us how wrong judgements often can be, although i have learned that she was also greatly interested in people watching the way Elizabeth was. She points out to us all that although a person may seem to be one way that there are many things with other people that we can't account for, this was specifially illustrated in Darcy's many esteemable qualities that although he improved upon existed before Elizabeth pasted her harsh judgements upon him. I have also read the book many times and what can i saw i am addicted to Jane Austen! but I am glad that you liked it.
P.S. Your analysis is Amazing!
