#1995 pride and prejudice

I just need people to know that the 1995 bbc pride and prejudice is 6 hours long. Watching it 7 times is almost two full days. 42 hours. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, I just need people to know.

No I don’t think 2005 Pride and Prejudice was as good as the 1995 version, and here’s why.

Let me start off by saying I did actually enjoy the 2005 version, I didn’t think I would, but I did. I think I ended up watching it twice in the same weekend.

The main bit that bothers me is lack of time. Because the movie is relatively short, they are forced to leave out information and characters that are really very important to the story. Not only that, but it means every single line is full of exposition. Plus, they acquired some very talented actors, each of whom only got about two scenes. It felt like they didn’t have enough time to get into character at all.

Take Judi Dench’s Lady Catherine for example. I love Judi Dench to bits, but her Lady Catherine is a blank slate next to Barbara Leigh-Hunt’s Lady Catherine. Hers is dynamic and full of life and you really get a feel for the character, same with Jane, and Caroline Bingley, and Mrs Bennet etc etc etc. compared to their 2005 counterparts.

The thing about Pride and Prejudice as a book is that every line is important, which is what you want. Jane Austen doesn’t add lines willy. There are no 4 chapter descriptions of the French sewer systems. Every line is intentional, and to adapt anything less without substituting the equivalent in film, you’re going to miss a lot of what makes Pride and Prejudice good.

Oh and another thing that bothers me, although somewhat less, is the weird ass casting.

Don’t get me wrong everyone does a good job with what they have but when you cast a period drama, you basically have to choose by whose beauty standards you are going to judge, modern or the standards of the time period in which the film is set. In this case, these would be regency standards.

1995 Pride and prejudice does regency well but 2005 doesn’t pick one?? Idk who Mr Darcy is supposed to be hot for but it’s not me. If you look at the lineup of Bennet sisters, in terms of hotness, it’s really supposed to go Jane, Lizzie, Lydia, Kitty, Mary.

But then in 2005 P&P, by modern standards it arguably goes Lizzie, Mary, Jane, Kitty, Lydia, which makes no sense, and then by Regency standards Lizzie would probably be dead last. They weren’t about those hollow cheekbones. Remember how they were into Ancient Greece and Rome at the time? Fuller figures and rounder faces were in.

It just doesn’t make any sense. Also not that important: THE HAIR. WHAT HAPPENED. I UNDERSTAND NOT DOING THE CURLY BANGS FOR SOME, BUT WHY DOES NOT A SINGLE SISTER HAVE THEM??? the three youngest could definitely pull them off and Jane probably could too. Why one earth wouldn’t you have them. They weren’t just a fad, there were like five people in the whole of England who didn’t have them I don’t care if you don’t like them it doesn’t make any sense that not a single girl would have them what’s with the stringy bangs

ALSO, is Lizzie supposed to be a sex worker in the 2005 version??? No??? Then why does she wonder around with her hair down in polite company? It certainly isn’t because she’s poor, putting one’s hair up is free, and she knows full well she’s going to the house of a gentleman who’s friends who will judge her family based on her appearance. So again, why is her hair down

And for that matter, Bingley goes into Jane’s room, alone, while she’s in her night things. That doesn’t sound like much but he just wouldn’t do that. He is supposed to be the perfect gentleman and this is a scandal. This could literally ruin Jane’s reputation and he does it like it’s perfectly normal. She should have kicked him in the shins and flung him out the door

Apparently I had more feelings about this than I thought. Anyway…

#1995 pride and prejudice #2005 pride and prejudice #Jane Austen #vs #look I understand the hand clench scene but other than that would someone please explain how 2005 mr Darcy was hot

[silvermalkin]

My aunt boldly claimed that she didn't know how anyone could like Mr. Darcy enough to marry him.

Instead of boring everyone on the dissertation that it's the fact that he's enough of a man to acknowledge his flaws AND actually work on changing, as well as very respectful of the woman he loves' opinion

I instead made everyone laugh about Colin Firth emerging dripping from a lake and getting a bath scene which luckily didn't alienate anyone bc of an insinuation that they didn't fully understand the text which

Obviously, they don't, but I shouldn't say it

Propaganda...

Mr Darcy (2005): ...

Mr Darcy (1995):

There's a reason why Colin Firth is forever known as Mr. Darcy above all other roles he's had and will have! Even ignoring the wet white shirt, which has become A Thing now, he is so hot with his curly hair and his little half smiles and his intense looks of longing and his legs that go on for milessss.

Post Poll Addition* The reason Mr Darcy (2005) didn't have any propaganda and Mr Darcy (1995) did is because someone actually sent me 95 propaganda and not because I was trying to make Colin Firth win! I asked for propaganda pre-poll and people assumed the Darcy's would sail through so that text was all I got for either of them - it's not my fault the '05 girlies did not find the tournament in time to send any in!!!!! This was the same in a few other polls in the early rounds of the tournament. Sorry for sounding off a bit about it but I don't add any of my own propaganda so I stay impartial so it's just frustrating to be accused of the opposite. Anyway I hope that clears that up :))
