Warning: This movie will cast a spell on you!
This is now one of my favorite movies and (this will sound strange) threatening to replace "Alien" as my number one motion picture of all time. The first time that I watched it, I was merely in the room; daydreaming probably. My wife then forced me to watch it two more times with her. Something must have snapped in my head because next I bought the novel and read it twice in a week. I became bewitched by Jane Austen's tales of romantic delight and pain played out on the stage of nineteenth century English gentry society. This film adaption of Miss Austen's novel is so faithful to the novel that you can almost read along with the movie. The photography is magnificent and will transport you back in time two hundred years. The sound track is good. The actors were perfectly cast for the characters in the novel. In fact, Jennifer Ehle is so much Elizabeth Bennett that when I tried to view another one of her movies, I realized that I don't like watching her in any other movies. I recommend this movie to anyone. However, if you are not now an admirer of Jane Austen's work, you may be required to undergo the reformation that happened to me in order to fully appreciate this movie. If that is the case and you are a guy, you should watch it three times with a girl before giving up on it. Don't expect her to watch "Alien" with you though. My wife continues to refuse to watch it. Women have come a long way since nineteenth century England.

The Best Version Ever Created!
There is absolutely no comparison between this version of Pride and Prejudice and the newly released version starring Keira Knightley. Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle's fantastic acting ability and onscreen chemistry are clearly what make this series so great! The witty and humorous dialogue make this a must see!

Can A Film Be Better Than The Book?
The answer to that question is definitely yes! This film brings the settings and characters from Jane Austin's wonderful story right into your home. The story line is followed to perfection. The period comes to life. The scenery is exquisite. All of the wonderful actors fill their rolls perfectly. Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth become Elizabeth and Darcy, just as Austin described them. I recommend this film to all Austin fans and anyone that enjoys history or romance. It is one to watch over and over again.
