The ball scenes were wonderful; especially the slice of the two main love interests dancing in the crowded ballroom and then shown as if they were the only two at the dance flowing around each other while keeping up a witty conversation.
The outdoor scenes were both beautiful and earthy.
There was family warmth and humor throughout as well.
This becomes the most romantic version of "Pride & Prejudice" because we are not surprised along with Lizzie when Darcy shows up and makes the most backhanded proposal of marriage in the history of Western literature. The screenplay by Deborah Moggach (Emma Thompson receives special thanks in the credits, apparently for script doctoring) makes one significant change in the proceedings by simply having the moment when Mr. Darcy (Matthew MacFadyen) falls for Lizzie clearly written on his face. At the Meryton ball she finds the perfect moment to throw the callous words that she has overheard back into his and with the rapier still skewering her victim she turns on her heels and walks away in triumph.
When next he sees her she has walked over to Mr. Bingley's house to care for her sister Jane (Rosamund Pike), who has been taken ill because of the matrimonial machinations of their mother. Lizzie's hair is down and she is positively glowing. When we see the look of Darcy's face it is clear that he is beyond smitten, even though through the veneer of upper class manners the signs are decidedly subtle. From that moment on his affection becomes transparent to us, although Lizzie is surprised to learn of its existence. Joe Wright also creates a motif where the first time Darcy and Lizzie touch, as he helps her into a carriage, resonates by an emphasis at key moments throughout the film of Darcy's hands.
Elizabeth Bennett is the most delightful of the Austen heroines because she has the virtue of not backing down. Indeed, I believe Darcy first takes real notice of her because she stands up to him at the ball. When she refuses to back down from Lady Catherine De Bourgh (Judi Dench) at the dinner table it struck me that one of the reasons she is so attractive to Darcy is because she is not trying to be. Certainly Mrs. Bennett (Brenda Blythen) has taught her five daughters it is how to be on their best behavior to catch a husband, and in a world of such propriety her candor is refreshing. Darcy's curt dismissal of her looks as being tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt him, becomes ironic because for my money it is her brains that make Elizabeth Bennett a real beauty both to him and to us.
The screenplay necessitates cutting much of the action to reduce the tale to a two-hour film. I appreciated being spared the unfortunate incident of Mary at the pianoforte as well as the constructed scene for the final fadeout and my only minor complaint would be that Lady Catherine does not utter her exit line from the novel when she takes her leave of Elizabeth in their final confrontation although I fully understand that the words cannot be uttered under those circumstances and the fact that Lady Catherine shows up immediately on hearing the rumor makes up for being denied the pleasure of hearing Dame Judy declaim that line.
I had heard that the Jane Austen Society was less than pleased by Knightley's posture in this film, but one of the strengths of this production is that the Bennetts clearly live in the country. There are dirt roads that lead to their home, where a large hog wanders through the front door, and when Mr. Darcy and the Bingleys make their first appearances at the local ball the dancing has an exuberance (not to mention slapping of hands) that makes it patently clear that we are far from the hallowed halls of Pemberly or the civilized life of London. But the outside locations are as sumptuous as the gilded rooms in this film, and cinematographer Roman Osin makes both look gorgeous.
For those who consider "Sense & Sensibility" to be the current cinematic benchmark for Austen adaptations I can report that "Pride & Prejudice" is its superior in terms of both romance and comedy by virtue of both crying and laughing more at this 2005 film.. Where Ang Lee's 1995 film comes out ahead is in its depiction of sisterhood, as Jane and Lizzie cannot rival Elinor and Marianne in their bonds of affection, which is understandable since it is more central to that Austen novel. Even so there is a cute moment of confidences shared beneath the covers and Lizzie's spirited defense of her sister's shyness. However, this one really is all about Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy.
I am not at all surprise that Kngihtly received a Best Actress nomination for her performance in this film. As is invariably the case with such films the cast of supporting players is superb. Brenda Blethyn's Mrs. Bennett is comically painful, but Donald Sutherland as Mr. Bennett has a touching final scene with his daughter, Tom Hollander is toadally obnoxious as Mr. Collins, and my wife really wants to slap Jenna Malone's Lydia a couple of times. The best thing I can say about this version of "Pride & Prejudice" is that I went back to the theater to see it again, and the only other movie I did that for was "Revenge of the Sith" (I was using it for class). This one was better.
I’ll die on the hill that this version of Pride and Prejudice is the best one. I love Colin Firth but something about Matthew just hits.
I will never not love this movie. It’s a comfort film for me and I’m 100% in love with it.

Cuando vi esta película me sorprendí muchísimo. Me esperaba otro horror meloso y dramático de esos que no aguanto (Sentido y Sensibilidad) pero me la habían recomendado y "por probar" la miré. Sin embargo me encantó y me reí bastante.
Me sirvió para conocer está magnífica historia llena de humor e ironía, desde entonces he leido el libro, escuchado varias versiones de audiobook y visto todas las versiones de television y cine que he podido. Para mi, esta sigue siendo mi favorita. Igual no tan fiel como la miniserie de la BBC, pero mucho más amena y, en mi opinion, conserva mejor la ironía y el sarcasmo.
De drama tiene más bien poco. Es una historia romántica, pero llevada con humor y riéndose de toda la circunstancia. La protagonista no es ajena a la puya y le echa unos cuantos comentarios bastante bordes a Mr. Darcy. La familia es un espantito. La madre es tan limitada que confunde el estar confundida o inquieta con tener una enfermedad nerviosa, y su única obsesión es casar a las 5 hijas como sea. La hermana pequeña intenta ser intelectual pero sus comentarios llegan a ser absurdos. La hermana mediana intenta ligarse lo que sea y no tiene sentido común, y la mayor es un poco demasiado buena. El padre pasa de todo. Y para rematar la faena aparece un primo que es hilarantemente pomposo y ridículo. En medio de todo esto tienes a Elizabeth (Lizzie), un poco demasiado independiente para la época, pero con las ideas muy claras, intentando sobrevivir.
Mr. Darcy por su lado parece ser un borde de cuidado, pero bastante pronto se empieza a notar que más que borde es que no sabe ser sociable, especialmente con Lizzie que tiene una familia espantosa, es pobre y le dice a la cara lo que piensa.
J'ai de multiples fois entendu des commentaires très sévères sur ce film : "nul", "mal fait", "pas fidèle au livre", etc ; mais l'argument caché de bien de ces jugements, c'est "ce n'est pas l'adaptation de la BBC".
En effet, l'adaptation de la BBC a séduit de nombreuses personnes pour des raisons tout à fait normales : une très grande fidélité au livre, un désir de réalisme très fouillé, deux acteurs principaux très bons (ovation particulière à Colin Firth, toujours aussi convaincant), etc. Mais le réalisateur semble ici avoir décidé de jouer sur d'autres aspects, et peut-être même sur les défauts du téléfilm.
Par exemple, par souci de réalisme, la série de la BBC a choisi de faire porter aux femmes des robes Empire. Résultat : elles ressemblent sans doute aux dames d'époque, mais ont l'air de saucissons dans des robes qui élargissent leurs épaules, et les grossissent ! Alors que Joe Wright, dans le making-of, explique qu'il a fait exprès de faire porter aux actrices les robes de la mode précédente (excepté pour le personnage de Caroline Bingley, qui comme toute femme du monde, est à la pointe de la mode et donc porte déjà des robes Empire pas encore parvenues à la campagne) par souci esthétique : moi j'applaudis !
Pour ce qui est de la fidélité au livre, j'ai personnellement vu ce film avant l'adaptation de la BBC et je l'ai trouvé franchement fidèle (retrouvant même des répliques du livre !) Le téléfilm l'est encore plus, mais il est en six épisodes !!! Pas étonnant qu'il soit fidèle, il s'en donne les moyens !
Le film joue également d'autres cartes : un très gros travail sur la lumière (qui donne un coup de jeune au film, alors que les couleurs du téléfilm sont un peu tristounes ; l'époque de réalisation - 2005 contre 1995 !- n'est pas la même, me dira-t-on... Mais "Barry Lindon" de Stanley Kubrick date de 1975 et possède des couleurs extraordinaires ! Cela ne peut donc être une excuse), sur la musique (qui me paraît insignifiante dans la série - c'est personnel, bien sûr) qui est tout à fait remarquable, sur la photographie (très beaux paysages ! Mais je crois que c'est aussi le cas dans le téléfilm).
On remarque un changement notable (qui lui, est infidèle au livre) dans le personnage de Fitzwilliam Darcy : dans le livre et dans la BBC, sa hauteur est due à la conscience de son rang et de sa noblesse : cette noblesse engendre donc un fort orgueil à la limite du snobisme, peut-être. Ici, Darcy semble beaucoup plus tourmenté : sa hauteur est au contraire due à une certaine timidité (qui n'exclut pas l'orgueil de la noblesse !) ; il dit lui-même "Je n'ai pas le don de parler aux gens que je ne connais pas". Aussi, comme l'Art ne consiste pas toujours en une reproduction exacte des oeuvres qui le précèdent, mais en la réinterprétation, on peut apprécier cette autre façon de présenter le livre et ses personnages.
Le casting est également très alléchant, pour ceux qui y accordent une grande importance : Keira Knightley, une des actrices anglaises les plus en vue du moment, Rupert Friend, Donald Sunderland, Tom Hollander (aussi épatant que dans "Pirates des Caraïbes"), Judi Dench (Quel choc j'ai eu en la voyant la première fois avec la perruque ! M "dans Orgueil et Préjugés" !)
Enfin, une des principales cartes abattues par le réalisateur dans ce film est celle du romantisme : il est très présent dans le film, moins que dans le téléfilm je crois. En effet, la musique, certaines prises de vues, le caractère de Darcy que je qualifiais de "tourmenté", tout concourre à donner une image plus jeune de l'histoire, plus sexy, donc plus romantique. Dans le making-of, Joe Wright s'explique sur la scène absolument risible où l'on voit Darcy sortant de la brume, manteau flottant, chemise déboutonnée et chevelure en bataille : il dit qu'il devait bien une scène de gloire à l'acteur, et si c'est pour cette raison, on peut comprendre un tel choix esthétique. Il donne d'ailleurs une anecdote savoureuse, racontant qu'une des femmes de l'équipe a soupiré au moment du tournage, alors qu'on tournait cette scène, "Si seulement ma vie pouvait être comme ça..."
Blague mise à part, je ne peux que recommander de voir ce film, mais également le téléfilm de la BBC (que je n'ai pas défendu ici, mais que j'apprécie vraiment néammoins), pour voir la réécriture à l'oeuvre. N'écoutez donc plus les nostalgiques du téléfilm, qui sont souvent de mauvaise foi et autres rabats-joies (vous savez, ceux qui trouvent toujours nuls les films à grand public), et jugez par vous-même ! Après tout, ce n'est qu'un film, pourquoi tant de hargne et de passion ?
