I spent the first disk of this miniseries not getting the whole Mr. Darcy (he's kind of a snotty jerk) thing. This made the "getting" the Mr. Darcy thing in disk two that much more dramatic and fun. This was an incredibly delightful movie to watch the actors act and Mr. Collins (so repulsive!) and Mary Bennett (so sour!) were my favorite minor characters.

I LOVE THIS VERSION of my favorite book. Colin Firth shuts it down as the best on-screen Darcy (the one in my mind is only slightly better). And you are right about Mr. Collins!
ReplyDeleteThis will always be *the* version of Pride & Prejudice. The BBC's more recent (2008, I believe) versions of Sense & Sensibility and Persuasion are also phenomenal.
