"Pride and Prejudice" ( Journal#16 )

There are a lot of different kinds of books – adventure stories, detectives, love novels and so on. I can say that my favorite movie is “Pride and Prejudice” drama serial with Jennifer Ehle as Elizabeth Bennet and Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy. First, I like this film due to professional play of actors and “ideal” casting. Finding the right actor for the film is one the most important parts of successful movie. In my opinion all main actors and actresses fit each other perfectly. They really feel their characters – manners, mimics, habits and behavior. Their professional play makes the audience think that you can find better Mr. Darcy that Colin Firth. Secondly, the film is adapted from Jane Austin’s novel “Pride and Prejudice”. But the dialogues don’t loss their impressiveness. Every speech draws your attention. How they reply for ambiguous questions and how they avoid undesirable questions and themes keep your attention all the time. In addition, it is a really beautiful movie, the see sights of nature, “Pemberley” and “Longbourne” houses, the costumes for the drama are astonishing and amazing. This movie makes me feel the spirit of that time. It always leaves a feeling of calm and happiness in my soul.

Yes, Pride and Prejudice, too, is one of my most favourite of all time. The story line captures the epitome of literature. Though Elizabeth looks a bit older than 21 years old.
