#but I don't understand the argument that the BBC pxp is emotionless? like... what happened to subtlety?

I hereby declare the 1995 "Pride and Prejudice" TV series to be the superior adaptation. Thank you. You are dismissed. Have a nice day ❤️

#yeah I'm writing this on impulse so buckle up #it goes without saying that tv series have the advantage when it comes the amount of plot covered and character exploration in general #but I don't understand the argument that the BBC pxp is emotionless? like... what happened to subtlety? #just because the characters don't yell at each other? #I would actually say that I didn’t feel that much engagement from the movie characters lol but tbh it's been a while since I saw the movie #not that the acting was poor although I remember not liking the movie Lizzy that much #OK THAT'S A DIFFERENT TOPIC #to be fair I like the lines like 'Most ardently' or 'You have bewitched me' because COME ON I'M JUST A ROMANTIC LOSER #and watching Bingley actually say 'hey I acted dumb I love you please forgive me' felt great #but I think the 1995 version is overall better at portraying the social behaviour and rules of that time #the 2005 movie was visibly made for the modern audience and I suppose the american one as well #is that a bad thing? absolutely not #I find the last scene from the movie quite sweet but it did feel (for the lack of a better phrase at the moment) out of place #because we so suddenly jumped to this great expression of emotions and I was like 'cute I guess? good for them!' #I've watched the movie before the series (finished it yesterday) so it had a bit more emotional value since I didn’t know the story #but I still believe the 1995 holds up really well and I would have no problem rewatching it #I have a thing where I believe a filmed piece is well done when you're able to rewatch it (which I don't do often in the first place) #would I rewatch the 2005 version? I suppose but I don't think I would enjoy it as much #I still have to read the book as well #I've only read som excerpts so far #it's worse for me cuz I feel like I have to read it in both English and Polish for better understanding XD #already ordered the English one AND MAY I JUST SAY THAT FINDING ONE WITH A NICE COVER WHICH ALSO WON'T COST MY ENTIRE SAVINGS IS IMPOSSIBLE #god dammit why are aesthetics a thing #gotta look for the translation now #anyway I think that's it #if anyone ever reads it XDDD #thank you for coming to my ted talk #pride and prejudice #mine
