Don't think ugly, in methaphoric talk.<br /><br />I am so agree with you in this, my fav is 95 version, and I hate when people call Darcy the perfect men.<br /><br />Wow! i was thinking that I was the only. And no.<br />Ana.<br />Do you see The Lizzie Bennet Diaries.<br />And I can not see Lost in Austen.

And I can't wait for the "official bashing" one. ;-) I've seen it twice now and my sister has once. The thing she pointed out on the pacing is that somehow it manages to drag and rush along at the same time. :-) And dear me, yes. Line changes, personality changes, status changes, gentility, dress!, the list could go on and on... :-) Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418854988524303306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-12792752305128401072014-03-09T01:13:57.061-07:002014-03-09T01:13:57.061-07:00"Elizabeth sometimes acted like a slightly le...

I had begrudgingly accepted that it did sort of make sense, but I like your point much better!<br /><br />I agree about the "distinctly modern feel." Love the Grumpy Cat picture. Totally agree on your points about the Bennets' wealth and status. There are just so many reason to despise this movie. ;)<br /><br />Livia already nominated you for the Sunflower Blogger award just above, but I'd like to add my nomination... I'd be delighted if you'd add my questions to your post, if you do decide to participate! Also, if you wouldn't mind, please drop the link to your post in the comment section of my post. http://hopefulaspiringhomemaker.blogspot.com/2014/03/sunflower-blogger-award.htmlLizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11187051722510749149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-61464859681854126452014-02-21T16:33:25.985-07:002014-02-21T16:33:25.985-07:00I nominated you for The Sunflower Blogger Award, b...I nominated you for The Sunflower Blogger Award, but please don't feel pressured to participate if you don't really want to do so.Livia Rachellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755623391278276925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-37833631917877238712014-02-21T11:13:46.397-07:002014-02-21T11:13:46.397-07:00Another thing- I find it utterly boring.

Also Keira Knightley's eye makeup annoys me excessively. She looks like a dead raccoon.<br /><br />Oh, and great point about Longbourn being a village and the farm being tenanted out elsewhere... so few people seem to realize how that stuff worked. (Not that I thought you didn't. Just that P&P fans in general don't seem to know that.)

Maybe in the bare feet and people walking around in their NIGHTCLOTHES. ARGHHHHHH! That right there is what bothers me the most about the movie. I can enjoy it as a period drama because it is so NOT Pride and Prejudice that it is laughable to consider it as such; therefore it doesn't even offend the dignity of the real film, it is so off the charts that I can enjoy it as a movie EXCEPT for those stupid parts. DON'T they know how much of a scandal all that would cause!!!! And maybe some of the movies was set in the late 1700's, but for some reason somebody told me it was set later than P&P, so it seems a grand collision between those two wrong periods plus the modern period.<br /><br />Yes, about the poorness. Don't dumb it down producers. A gentleman's daughter is not poor, actually much lower classes were not poor. The Bennets were in the upper levels of society in terms of rank since the middleclass had not fully emerged then. <br /><br />"Bewitched me body and soul" Okay innuendo there, and what is this TWILIGHT?! That cat face applies to the whole movie if anyone tries to pitch it as P&P<br /><br />Some acquaintance of ours said the Meryton Assembly looked like a bar. Another (or maybe it was me) said Lizzy looked like tomboyish Jo March in the beginning (Keira Knightly does look freakishly like Winona Ryder) Georgiana was embarrassing. I felt SORRY for Mr. Collins. People, you do NOT feel sorry for Mr. Collins. And Willoughby is NOT supposed to be even close to being ashamed of himself (he is in this movie). And Jane is not a ditz. Some people think Mr. Bingley crinkles his nose like a bunny. And the almost crying not Darcy. And goddess divine line? Oh, dear me this is a post in itself. And like you I could go on.Livia Rachellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755623391278276925noreply@blogger.com
