I agree with you on most of those.... but I didn't like the new Pride and Prejudice... Maybe that's because I saw the A&E version first, and I keep comparing it to that.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the A&E one? It's five hours long, stars Collin Firth (among others) and is brilliant. They obviously added so much more, and they really stuck with the storyline. (I've read the book a number of times, too). The new one with Kiera Knightly was just a LITTLE too ... different.
I actually rented the A&E one a few days ago, watched the whole thing followed by the newer one.
ReplyDeleteI must admit, I prefer the newer one so much. I think they did a better job with the casting. I didn't think Jane in the A&E one was very pretty at all and found it a bit humourous that they kept talking about her beauty.
Colin Firth did a great job and who can say no to those big, brown eyes?
All in all, I absolutely LOVED the music, cinematography, costumes, scenery, casting, - ok, I loved EVERYTHING about the newer one. It's hard to cram a book, much less 5 hours of story into a 2 hour film.
Well...I could go on...but I won't. I think I've already dedicated 2 posts to P&P.
And I could do another one from the looks of this comment! :D
