more and more pride and prejudice
It all started with me zapping around the tv channels and found this series of bbc. I didn't even know the name of it but it struck me immediately. I started following the series but somehow I lost track. luckily I found the name "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austin. I was so curious about what happened at the end, I bought the book. I read english version and then turkish version. I read the book at least 5 times!!!! but I was still craving for the movie...

It was my happies moment when I saw it on DVD. I didn't wait a moment to buy it and forced my friends to watch it with me. I think I own the DVD for 3-4 years now. I don't know how many times I watched it. I memorized some of the scenes... I find myself rewinding it back and forth each time I watch it. It is a classic. I think I will never get bored of this book nor the movie. thanks to BBC, it made me a colin firth fan. To be fair, I also like jenifer ehle:))))

It is such a good movie, every time I watch it I fall in love with the views, never get bored of the music, deeply touched by the expressions and feel the characters like I am with them.

I love this book, I adore this movie. thanks BBC:)

Good Movie
This is an excellent movie. However, like some of the other reviewers, I have to admit that the colors do seem a bit off. If you've never seen it on VHS though, you're probably not going to have any issues with the color and can enjoy the movie for what it is. It is a wonderful adaptation of one of the best books ever written.

A Classic!
I was a little skeptic when I got A&E/BBC's "Pride and Prejudice", because I read that its running time was 6 hours. Imagine watching a movie stretching for 6 hours! But having heard so much praise about it, I decided to see the movie for sometime. Once I started watching the movie, I didn't realize the time fly by, and saw myself putting one disc after another, watching the entire movie in a single sitting! After watching it, I decided that this is once of the best TV movies made ever.

Nominated for 4 Emmy Awards (Outstanding Individual Achievement in Writing for a Miniseries or a Special, Outstanding Individual Achievement in Costume Design for a Miniseries or a Special (winner), Outstanding Miniseries and Outstanding Individual Achievement in Choreography), "Pride and Prejudice" revolves around relationships, betrayal, jealousy, and above all, a wonderful love story between two people. The relationship between Mr. Darcy and Eliza Bennett, Jane Bennett and Mr. Bingley, Lydia Bennett and George Wickham, joined by Mrs. Bennett's wailing, Lydia and Kitty's childish pranks, the evil Caroline Bingley, and the snobbish Catherine de Bourgh kept me interested in the movie.

The chemistry between Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle is wonderful, keeping us interested in them for 6 hours. The rest of the cast were also wonderful, particularly Julia Sawalha (Lydia Bennett), Susannah Harker (Jane Bennett), Crispin Bonham-Carter (Charles Bingley), Adrian Lukis (George Wickham) and Alison Steadman (who played Mrs. Bennett). Simon Langton did a terrific job in directing this fantastic series (which I am sure is not easy, if you have to direct a movie that will keep the audience interested for such a long period). Of course, the major credit for the movie has to go the background score, and the costumes/sets for the movie. The people behind did a costume design did a wonderful job in giving the characters an elegant yet simple look, meshing well with the era timeline of the story.

All in all, whether you are a Jane Austen fan or not, you should see this movie if you like watching romantic movies. This is a wonderful movie which should not be overlooked.
