I know that Olivia Williams also did a film called "Miss Austen Regrets" about Jane Austen's life. It was very well done.Judie Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15380471184442805260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502245000248725118.post-52158877536977755412013-01-08T14:22:44.367-08:002013-01-08T14:22:44.367-08:00I think the best Elizabeth and Darcy were Jennifer...I think the best Elizabeth and Darcy were Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth, but I liked Donald Sutherland and his wife as the best parents. And the book, have read it multiple times and find insights each time. Austen remains timeless.

I will have to watch it again on Jan 28th in celebration, and reading the book again this month would be fun.

We've taken to reading and rereading books that pop up in our memories or become relevant via an article or movie. It's fun to bring in our old favorites to share with one another. I'll send your post along to inspire the others.

The chemistry between Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy was perfection, and they both physically inhabited their roles as I had always imagined them. Although the British mini series was very well done, I never bought Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy, didn't seem severe enough? As soon as I'm done with the book I'm currently reading, I'm going to re-read this in honor of your beautiful post and the 200th anniversary.KSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10251064646063353242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502245000248725118.post-40900275388506231822013-01-07T12:59:45.894-08:002013-01-07T12:59:45.894-08:00It's ages since I read Pride and Prejudice, ma...It's ages since I read Pride and Prejudice, maybe the 200th anniversary is time for a re-read. The Bennets are a wonderful creation. I have to admit that I feel a bit sorry for Mrs Bennet - its not as though there were a wealth of opportunities open for women then, and a good marriage would offer her daughters some security. I think Mr Bennet should take take the whole situation a lot more seriously and not act as though his daughters future didn't matter to him. (I defend Mrs Bennet whenever I can - thank you for giving me the opportunity!)
