![]() ![]() Then again, it's been a long time since I read it, so I could be wrong. ![]() ![]() If anything, the film could have done with being twenty minutes longer, as I felt there wasn't quite enough content from the book. I liked the way the film dealt with the period look and the social differences, and while there was a lot of the pride I would have liked to have seen a little more of the prejudice. I liked Matthew MacFadyen as Mr Darcy, with his handsome looks and all that, but I will say I do prefer Colin Firth's interpretation from the sublime 1995 mini-series, Firth seemed to adopt a more likable and sympathetic approach to the character. Donald Sutherland (yeah, you saw right) was quite charming as Mr Bennett if you put his awkward accent aside. The film is certainly handsome looking, with some truly beautiful locations and costumes, with a nice script and some excellent performances from Keira Knightly as Lizzie and in particular Judi Dench as Lady Catherine. The book by the wonderful Jane Austen is definitely better than the film, dealing with the consequences of love, and the social differences of the late 18th century. ![]()
