Scenes I love in Pride and Prejudice 2005 that aren't the hand flex, rainy proposal, or foggy morning walk:
Charlotte telling Lizzie she's marrying Mr. Collins: "Don't you dare judge me." Yes Charlotte tell her! This drives home the reality for someone in her situation. She's an old maid at 28, the clock is ticking. Mr Collins may be an obnoxious fool but he's unlikely to treat her poorly, run up debts, or cheat on her so he's not a terrible choice at the wire.
Lizzie staring into the mirror when Darcy leaves the letter: Listen, I think we've all had the moment in our lives when everything seemed to be going wrong and all we could do was stare into space and dissociate a little. But also, ya know, cause when Darcy shows up he's looking a little more casual. I see that loose shirt without a vest or cravat sir.
Lizzie on the rocky overlook: The music, the scenery, the fact that it's the DVD menu screen and I woke up to it looping in the background after falling asleep more times than I can count. I know I'm not alone in this.
Lizzie in the sculpture gallery: Weirdly, this was the scene that took my breath away the first time I watched the movie. That statue of the veiled vestal virgin is just fucking breathtaking. Plus the general vibes of the whole scene with the music and everything as Lizzie begins to soften towards Darcy.
The scramble to look suitably engaged when Bingley shows up: It's a little moment of comedy . Overall about this movie I just love the messiness of the family and how lived in everything feels. Is it historically accurate? No. Do I care? Also no. It's about the vibes. And I just like the family not entirely being terrible people and hating each other. Not what Austen wrote but I think the softened edges work well for a movie adaptation, especially to appeal to modern audiences. Follow up along the same lines is the bedtime "I know she could not be so beautiful for nothing" scene.
