So I watched "Barbie" yesterday and I have a few thoughts without too many spoilers:

PINK

A very well crafted pretend world on par with Toy Story.

Surprisingly deep and advanced feminism theory for being mainstream. Complete with a speech that made me clap for the first time in a movie theater.

Made me laugh more than once.

I've been telling people all day that I might not watch it again, but now I know in my heart I will probs watch it again.

I didn't expect to have my depression be depicted so accurately. Like bruh, leave my comfort show out of this. I literally whispered in the theater "How dare you call me out like this." And now I have to wonder what the person next to me thought of that while my husband was laughing at me.

*****

Personal favorites: 2005, then 1995. But also: The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Orgulho e Paixão

I also enjoyed Atlanta and, while it’s been a while since I’ve seen Bride and Prejudice, it’s got Indian musical numbers so c’mon, one gotta watch it.

Back to the closer adaptions, despite its age, 1980 is also good! 1940 is...very different, but fun in its own way.

In fact, while I find some of these versions weaker, I could find enjoyment in all of them - but maybe that’s cause I’m a sucker for P&P.

[lark-in-ink]

out here seeing Good Omens fanart referencing Pride & Prejudice and I'm of course like "that is the WRONG pride and prejudice Aziraphale would NOT be picturing the 2005 movie with Kierra Knightly and Matthew Macfayden," which is true, but I must face the fact that Aziraphale would not be a fan of the 1995 miniseries with Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth either. Aziraphale saw the 1940 movie and was so aghast that he has refused all such adaptions since, eschewing not only Miss Knightly and Miss Ehle but also poor forgotten Elizabeth Garvie (1980 miniseries) and sticking entirely to the book, because he is Aziraphale.

What are your opinions on Pride and Prejudice 1980 overall?

Would you say that it is a faithful adaptation? Would you recommend it to a P&P fan?

I'm very partial to it and I would rate it over the 1995. I know most people adore the 1995 version, though.

I love it!

I was just talking about my two favorite adaptational takes on P&P here, and the 1980 P&P is one of them.

It definitely has flaws, both as a work in its own right and as an adaptation. You were asking about how it functions as adaptation, so I'm going to focus on that, but the overall aesthetic is extremely 1979 on a limited budget. Some of the visual/narrative choices are very staid adaptationally (like showing Elizabeth reading Darcy's letter by ... literally showing Elizabeth reading the letter).

On the flip side, there are a few improbable divergences, most notably the rushed and peculiar presentation of the second proposal (though getting a glimpse of post-proposal Darcy and Elizabeth's happiness counts for a lot for me!). There's also stuff added that doesn't really change anything, but is arguably not faithful per se. And this is not always acknowledged by the fans it does still have. Personally, I love the weird instrumentation that follows Mr Collins around and Mr Hurst's anti-mountain agenda, but people's mileage may vary.

Beyond that, I love it as an adaptation that veers away from tapping into accessible (or caricatured) stereotypes the way the 1995 does. The 1980 P&P's characters really do feel to me like very specific and usually more nuanced interpretations of the original characters compared to basically every other version of P&P—not necessarily my interpretations, but I always feel like I can see where the interpretation is coming from, beyond appeals to contemporary audience sensibilities.

Elizabeth Garvie's Elizabeth is the jewel of the production for me—charming, lively, witty, vain, with a distinct tinge of sweetness that I think adaptations often lose sight of. It's honestly difficult to even say much about her because she is simply perfect to me.

David Rintoul's Darcy is probably my favorite Darcy, too. His demeanor isn't exactly what I personally imagine, to be sure (he's not as somberly brooding as Colin Firth's Darcy, but the spirited, smiling cleverness Darcy shares with Elizabeth isn't quite there for me). But I truly respect the choice to retain the general stiffness and formality of his character rather than reducing him to a more palatable love interest/sex object. He's allowed to be odd and to make us uncomfortable in a way I don't think other adaptations are willing to risk with him.

As for the others, Bingley, Jane, and Georgiana all give the impression of more substance to them than they usually get IMO. Mrs Bennet and Caroline are obnoxious but not particularly caricatured (without the adaptation seeming apologetic towards them, either). I love the stylish, younger Mrs Gardiner and Lady Catherine, and the relatively subtle versions of their personalities. Probably the only character choice that doesn't work adaptationally for me is the very harsh Mr Bennet, who lacks much of the endearing wit of the original—though even there, I can appreciate how unwilling the adaptation is to give him a pass (by stark contrast with the much cuddlier Mr Bennets of most other productions).

Would I call it faithful? Not universally, but it is the most engaged with the novel IMO. I don't think anything is so faithful that an adaptation can be a perfect interpretation that shouldn't ever be tried again and done better, but it is the most faithful P&P out there for me, still.

Would I recommend it to a P&P fan? That's a bit harder. It's aesthetically/cinematically dated and in some ways, it's better as interpretation than as television. For people who aren't used to that staid late 70s BBC approach ... idk, it can be a tough sell. I wouldn't casually recommend it, I guess, just because the contrast with the polish of the 1995 and the beauty of the 2005 is so stark. But for people who can look past that 70s BBC period drama baggage, there's a lot that's really interesting and engaging about it.

I certainly prefer it to the 1995, but since I intensely dislike the 1995, that's not saying a whole lot. It's probably more useful on my end to say that I just really love the 1980 P&P, despite having criticisms of it. I don't even know how many times I've watched it. For me, it's a joy.

I watched P&P 1980, and there were things that I loved about it, but also things that I didn't really like that much. There were moments when I thought Lizzy and Mr. Darcy were both characterized well, but I will be honest and say that I didn't feel any of their chemistry. I really liked how we could hear Lizzy's internal thoughts--it was definitely nice to understand what she was thinking. That said, I just didn't feel like she and Mr. Darcy had a strong connection. Mr. Darcy didn't show enough transformation after the second proposal for me, and he still felt really haughty and proud.

I really liked Mr. Collins's characterization, and Lydia's. I felt like they were both really well done. I also liked Caroline's characterization. I loved the Gardiners and thought that their characterization was up there with 1995 in my estimation. Definitely better than the 2005 Gardiners. I didn't really like Wickham--he wasn't handsome or charming enough to really pass off as what I imagine Wickham to be. Mary was hilarious. Mr. and Mrs. Bennet had good moments and not so good moments. I did really like Charlotte as well.

It was enjoyable overall, and it fits with my philosophy that all Austen is good Austen. I think I still prefer 1995 and 2005 in terms of the characterizations of Lizzy and Mr. Darcy, but the characterizations of the other characters are up there as well. I probably won't watch this adaptation again, even though I think Elizabeth Garvie is absolutely gorgeous. Overall I would give this adaptation a 7/10. Does anyone else agree? Disagree?

In my humble opinion, this is the best Pride and Prejudice. I loved the transformation of this Darcy. He was awkward and brusque, but he mellowed out much better than Colin Firth's Darcy in the 1995 miniseries. Hearing Lizzie's inner thoughts in how she took notice of her parent's toxic relationship was smart addition to the story. It showed that she was an observant woman who felt things intensely, perhaps more so than her counterparts. Elizabeth had the most expressive eyes and every time she looked at someone, you could read her feelings quite clearly. It’s a shame people don’t even know about this amazing adaption.❤️
