Pride and Prejudice

I have watched the movies and read the books! As most of you know I am an avid Jane Austen fan and I absolutly adore the Pride and Prejudice 2005 movie with Kiera Nightly...
Housekeeper- "Do you not think hima handsome man, miss?"
ELizabeth- "Yes. Yes, I daresay he is..."
On the handsomeness of Mr. Darcy

A little backround on Pride and Prejudice:
In 1976 Jane Austen wrote the early version of Pride and Prejudice it was called First Impressions. Jane did not publish the book for fear of it not being good enough. This story is famous today as famous as even those who have never heard the name Jane Austen have heard Pride and Prejudice uttered in one form or another. Pride and Prejudice is finally published in 1813 (haha I wasn't sure if I was right but I am... I have soooo many referance books on her! ) the same year Napoleon was defeated.
Pride and Prejudice is about not just Elizabeth and Darcy but of many people. There is love, betrayal, loss and forgivness, lies, letters and flirtation. If I was to try and sum up the whole plot I would fail and end up writing the story in my words, so I must ask you to venture out to the World Wide Web (one a NEW tab) and google Pride and Prejudice if you do not know the plot already.

Matthew McFayden and Kiera Nightly in a suuuuper intence ballroom scene!
Kiera Nightly and Matthew McFayden (I hope I spelled that right) have done an amazing job with their roles. So have all of the other actors! They bring the story alive in a much more modern way than the odeous BBC version.

Hopefully I didn't ramble and bore you too much, and hopefully you will take my word for it and check it out! It can be boring if you NEVER watch anything other than action films... but if you are quick enough to inderstand the different scenes you will see that there is action but in a much less bloody way!
