not to be harry potter on main but i honestly think the fantastic beasts series would have been so much more interesting if it was just about the beasts. i don’t give a fuck about grindelwald, just give me a movie about an eccentric wizard travelling the world looking for magical animals and teaching us the power of friendship

So which Pride and Prejudice should you watch?

(Disclaimer: They’re all wonderful in their own way.)

BBC Mini Series from 1995:

Pros:

The most realistic of the options at hand

Gives you nearly six hours to give the story the time it deserves

Has the time to give you all of the characters without feeling rushed

The characters are adorable (or annoying depending on needs Mr. Collins), but they aren’t godlike. It’s great to see real people on screen

You actually get to see Lydia and Mr. Wickham hiding from their family which I don’t see in any other adaptation?

More time is dedicated to Mr. Darcy’s point of view

Mrs. Bennet is perfect

Collin Firth (according to fandom)

Cons:

I personally have an issue with some the music even though its still admittedly good

It does take about six hours to get through, though you can take a break between each episode

If you’re looking for fluff, this is the least fluffy version of the lot

Probably has the most muted colors of the three, but it’s also from 1995 so…

Pride and Prejudice 2005 (with Keira Knightley)

Pros:

Talk about a bi dream world

This is definitely the fluffy one

Probably the easiest one to sit down and watch all at once as it is a movie

Elizabeth walking across a field to meet Darcy where he proposes is such a dream sequence

It flows rather nicely as a story and certainly does the story justice for the time its given

Keira Knightley is a wonderful actress in my opinion

Cons

The music is rather repetitive, you could replace the soundtrack with one song and be close to the current one

Probably goes the least in depth of the three

Kitty and Mary don’t get as much focus as they deserve

You don’t get quite the sense that a bunch of time is passing

Feels much less real than the other two

Lizzie Bennet Diaries (Youtube)

Pros:

Definitely the easiest to watch if you only have a few minutes here and there

This is a thoroughly modern version, so keep that in mine

Stays loyal to the story while making it modern. There’s no question that this is Pride and Prejudice

Charlotte is fucking adorable

Lydia has an amazing character arc that fits in a more modern sense and is PERFECT

Georgiana is the cutest thing I have ever seen

Lizzie encompasses the young adult in this day and age

I think they all have Twitters which is really neat?

Fitzwilliam is a joy

Cons:

There are several characters you never get to meet like her mother and father, only second hand

It is very Lizzie centric (which I like), and that’s obvious, but it means that you get more of her than you will than in any other adaptation and less of everyone else

Kitty does not exist

Mary does exist, but as a cousin rather than a sister (because most people don’t have 5 kids in this day and age)

I honestly can’t speak highly enough of any of these, especially the Lizzie Bennet Diaries which is just such a unique take on the series.

The fact that LBD is on this list…MY HEART!

have i ever told y’all about the greatest moment of my academic career

i was a freshman in college and i had this history teacher who was ~edgy~ and his hotness level on ratemyprofessor was off the charts and he was the first teacher i ever heard use the word “fuck.” anyway he would do this thing every so often where we’d have a “quiz” and the first two questions were always really easy and the last one was hard - they were all similar questions, and the point was to show what you learn about history and what you don’t.

so one day he’s like okay kids time for a quiz and the first question was who killed abraham lincoln. the second question was who killed JFK. third question was who killed william mckinley.

we all take a few minutes and write down our answers, and then the teacher asks the questions again so we can shout out the answers. everybody answered the first two with really no problem.

now, keep in mind that this class was at 9 a.m. and i was exhausted All The Time during my freshman year of college so i sat in the back in my sweats and never said a word and the teacher definitely had no clue who i was.

so you can imagine his surprise when he asked the class who shot william mckinley and without missing a beat i said, “czolgosz,” pronounced correctly and everything.

my teacher froze and in a very stern voice asked, “what was that? what did someone just say?”

i repeated: czolgosz.

my teacher: “who said that?”

i raised my hand, and my super cool history teacher glared at me. he then asked me how the hell i knew the answer. he said that in the TWENTY YEARS he’d been teaching this stupid class, nobody, not A SINGLE PERSON, had ever known the answer to that question.

i then had to quietly explain to a room full of people that there’s a musical called assassins and there’s a song about czolgosz shooting william mckinley at the great pan american exposition in buffaloooooooo (in buffaloooooooo)

The arts are important.

I shocked a teacher once because I could recite the preamble to the US Constitution (got bonus points to), She asked why I’d taken it upon myself to memorize it. I had to explain it was in a School House Rock song….

We use that School House Rock song with 5th graders.

For my 3D production class I had to create a three shot short that was a remake of an existing movie scene- with muppets. I ran out of time to do the particle water effects, but this is basically Pacific Rim anyway.
