Pride and Prejudice (2005) review

I wrote this review of the new P&P movie for school earlier this year and thought I'd share it. Just to give you far warning, it is very long. So sit back, relax, and happy reading!

Oh good. :)

I also love the movie with Emma Thompson. Didn't she have a huge part in writing the script for the movie, or something like that?

Yes, she did write the script -- and won the Golden Globe and Oscar for Best (Adapted) Screenplay. Interestingly enough, she is mentioned in the credits of the new Pride and Prejudice, under special thanks or something like that. She is uncredited for "additional dialogue." I know she changed the scene between Elizabeth and her aunt and uncle when they suggest seeing Mr. Darcy's estate. Deborah Moggach, the screenwriter, originally had that taking place at the inn where she would make a cameo appearance, but Emma Thompson changed the scene to outdoors.

Yes, Alan Rickman was perfect for Col. Brandon. After my mom saw the movie the first time, she said how happy she was that he married Marianne at the end. So she's a big fan of him as well. ;)

The score of a movie is really important to me, which I'm sure you can understand, since we both love classical music. =D So, I was satisfied with the score of the movie. I think it's actually lots better than the score from P&P.

I agree with you 100%. Even though both scores are of period dramas and of Jane Austen's books, something makes the S&S score more enjoyable than the P&P one. P&P's score is not terrible. I have the soundtrack and will listen to it all the way through once or twice in a while; but for me it is not much more than pretty music. On the other hand, I love S&S's score. There are tracks that I listen to over and over again and the music sticks in my head. It has a certain...it that P&P lacks.

That's what I thought. :) And she took part a little bit in P&P? I didn't know that. Interesting to know. I usually stop the movie at the beginning of the end credits, so no wonder I didn't see it. ;)

I know! I was so glad when him and Marianne married. I love how they ended the movie that way.
Your mom clearly has great taste in famous actors. =DD

Yeah, I have no problem listening to some tracks from P&P, because it is still beautiful music, but I do prefer the S&S score. I could listen to that all day.
And you're right, it does have a certain something that P&P doesn't have. :)
