Pride and Prejudice: Book and 2005 movie
The P&P book is my comfort book and the 2005 is my comfort movie, I find it interesting tho that I’m never satisfied when a movie adaptation from a book has many changes, however it is not the case when it comes to Pride and Prejudice, despite having many alterations, keeping in mind it was necessary cause the story is long and the movie like an hour and a half, the director made it work, every change was executed beautifully and enhanced the feelings and essence of Mr Darcy and Lizzie’s romance, a lot of people complain about such changes but I have to quote Matthew Macfadyen himself “The screenplay is just an impression of a novel, it has its own identity, very much. The book does too” and still the outcome was phenomenal, giving us a visually pleasing movie that transports you to the past and translates Jane Austen’s main focus in the story very well. Not to even mention the performances of the actors, Matthew was the perfect Mr Darcy.
