Colin and Jennifer on the Set, about Darcy and Elizabeth/The Piano Scene 

Gosh,Mr Firth is handsome,I faint

Can't agree with you better

It is a masterpiece! I like the others but this one is perfection!

One actually surpassed it but y'all don't enjoy good movies 🤭

@@bondpenelopebondnope. If any it must be one that came before this one because any that came after are atrocious. You can’t jam a classic into 2 hours.

Love that scene.

It is my favourite scene. Beautifully understated but full of significance.

Hands down, the best!

Absolutely the best one. A professor I had told me Darcy was probably high functioning autistic.

@@annemccarron2281 Did your professor give any reasoning for this? My understanding was that it required in-depth testing to come to any autism diagnosis?

Very well put.

Both Colin and Jennifer do things with their eyes that are subtle yet TOTALLY make the scene.

@@CH-eg6qw Mr. Darcy from the joe wright movie does too, his eyes are so expressive, I'm not trying to deminish anyone's acting, just to highlight matthew mcfaydens great acting skills. I'm in love with both portrayals though I gotta say I have a weakness for the actor from the movie, just because is the one I grew up watching ❤ ps. I found Jane from the series insuffrable

In my opinion Matthew Mcfayden appears a bit bland and unimposing in that role. Doesn't fit to the description of Mr.Darcy. But how can we know how the production company and co. decided to whom they give the roles? In film history roles have often not been given to those actors that "fit" but to those who got better networks and agents. Same with the Oscar film prize. Audrey Hepburn got the price for trivial Roman Holiday instead of Grace Kelly who did real acting in High Noon... I like Audrey but giving her the prize for such simple acting at the beginning of her career wasn't right. It was unfair.

@@paulovemx2222 lmao? jane in the series was fine

Dead heat with McFadyen for mine. Amazing.

No, he hadn't. He'd been acting for around 11 years, since about 1984.

i love JANE AUSTIN

Piano scene and the looks: "I am still crazily in love with you. And I do think you love me too, despite all that has happened. Tell me Lizzy, do you love me?" "You and me are soulmates wether we like it or not. I never thought I could love anyone like I love you. Please come and get me, it is torture to be without you."

It probably helps that, in my opinion, it's a comedy before it's a romance. It's just bursting with humor.

Pride & Prejudice and Lonesome Dove and the 2 best mini series made

​@@eowynsisterdaughterthat's true, it draws you in with wit from the first line.

@@eowynsisterdaughter And even before the comedy it is an acute social commentary.

I highly recommend watching Northanger Abbey and North and South (Elizabeth Gaskell). Amazing

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences agrees with you (and so do I), for Colin Firth received an Academy Award as Best Actor for the later film “The King’s Speech.” It was fun to see Jennifer Ehle as well in that film, though she didn’t play the King’s wife but the wife of his speech therapist. (The actor playing THAT role DID win an Oscar for “Best Supporting Actor.”) Excellence all around when Firth and Ehle are involved.

She was brilliant this series and only 24 years of age at that time. Perhaps if she had been based on the UK her career would've done far better.

impossible. It was the most horrible of times. Fashion and entertainment only would accept starving young women unable to physically defend theirselves or to speak out, and depending on males to be fed or protected. Despicable era that lasted until 2010 decade. I was in highschool in the late nineties. Don't you remember Calvin Klein's walking skeletons and a handful of brands following the trend? Or how in 2005 (premiered, but preproduction started at least 2-3 years before) the actress chosen for Elizabeth Bennet was Keira Knightley? Jennifer knew she had nothing to do against that trend. Anyway it also had some good things. Independent filmmaking and out of mainstream fashion brands had their time and space to call all this nonsense out.

Who are you talking about? Jennifer Ehle (Elizabeth Bennett) is British/American. Her mother is also an actress and British and her father is American. She was brought up both in the United Kingdom and the USA and has made movies in both countries.

Did you see the meme- he was Darcy…but I was Darcy Firth! Colin Firth is the ultimate Darcy!❤

I would consider Elizabeth's deliberate ignoring of points in Darcy's favour as another major error, which occurred before she decided to trust Wickham's untrustworthy story.

You both might enjoy Pamela Aiden's series, "Fitzwilliam Darcy: Gentleman" which is P&P from Darcy's viewpoint. Starts with "An Assembly As This"

Как Вы правы !!!

So true... He also said he had ''very little'' to play, because Jane Austen didn't know much about men behaviour, so the women are much more developed as characters in her novels.

@@ColinTheFirth That's an interesting answer. As a writer I don't flirt well with the all knowing style. Or is I do, I might still not approach the men's characters in as much depth as they deserve.

@@ColinTheFirth They actually had to add a little more of him to the movie for viewers to "get to know" him b/c Jane wrote so little about him b/c she didn't really understand men very much. I remember hearing that on a show about the making of the movie.

​

It's Beethoven, though. The Andante favori.

No, it’s Carabino’s aria from La Nozze di Figaro

First, Lizzy plays and sings Mozart. Afterwards and in this specific shot, Georgiana plays the Andante Favori WoO 57 by Beethoven

Nikki Pop How do you know? Have you met him?

Nikki Pop he just keeps getting better.😊

Like fine wine. Gets better as he ages

Oh my yes. I love the look in his eyes when gazing at Elizabeth.

I heard that they were having a relationship during filming that no one knew about until after filming.

I agree

Having been a great JANE AUSTEN admirer ever since my Mum gave "Prìde and Prejuìdice" as jmy first full- length English book to mè ( Ì am German ang was 16years

at that time ,I fell in love with Mìss Austin's ironic style of writing-, her novel.'s plot and. of course, Mr Darcy, So I w was enger to watch the novel 's

Transfer onto the TV screen- And I love the result! Actors, scenery and garments are superb! I am Sure, MissAusten would have Lied ypir serial immensly. Katrin

What?!

@@karlaguerrero4312 Yes. As a kindness during Covid, Jennifer recorded herself reading Pride and Prejudice. Some she reads from her car and some from her home. I was startled to see she is blonde and a little disappointed because I so much wanted more Elizabeth. But as I listened to her comments, I discovered that I like Jennifer even more than the character she played. She is a charming person who reads all the parts quite brilliantly.

And surprises me by being American!

@@valkyriesardo278 Where is this? You tube? Thanks for sharing about this. Really kind of her!

@@Elfsinger She is both - her mother is English and she spent time in the UK as a chld as well!

Jennifer Ehle's English accent is en point. She was born and raised in America.

No comparison. Matthew played Darcy like a forlorn puppy, completely missed the mark.

@@valkyriesardo278 WRONG. Try actually listening to how they interpreted Darcy and the reason he plays it like that. All you Darcy know it alls who think Matthew “got it wrong” are completely ridiculous. It’s another CHOICE. Matthew’s a fantastic actor. He always has been. They saw Darcy as shy and reserved, as if he has an anxiety disorder, something Austen wouldn’t know to write about in that particular way. Pride and Prejudice is still fiction. There isn’t only one “correct” way of playing Darcy. It’s art. We don’t have to choose only one version, we get to watch them all.

@@IslesYankeeLady I absolutely agree!

Behind the scenes interviews with the cast, on the set, in costume. :) Making of.

And this was the key fact that Elizabeth Bennet decided to ignore, even when Jane Bennet pointed it out.

@Musicienne-DAB1995 yes, Lizzie is clearly intrigued by Darcy, despite her denials. As Darcy is by Lizzie, despite his occasional denials. Bubbling beneath the surface is the sense, as someone said, that these two were somehow somewhen destined for each other. Such a masterly romance. And this adaptation does it full justice.

And the wife of the speech ‘doctor’ in the King’s Speech. I saw it in the cinema and when I saw her I literally shouted out: “Oh my God! That’s Elizabeth Bennet!!” 😂

​@@monsieurbennett Yes. And "Darcy" playing the king, George VI. So Colin and Jennifer met again!

Eliana Pupo yes
