@@natalyjimenez9634 yes, that was a big turning point for the story and how he thinks his rude attitude is nothing but honesty. If it wasn't for the second half I would hv never fallen in love with his character.
I’m never over the moment when she turns his words on himself at the ball. “Dancing... even if one’s partner is barely tolerable” with that smirk. Bad bitch vibes 10/10
Yep. Only difference is, as a teen I wanted to becomes a woman like Lizzie. Now, as an adult I realise I grew up to be like Mr. Darcy. Now I just have to look for my Lizzie.
I have a married friend who is the same height as Darcy with his exact expressive blue eyes. He is very sensitive and sweet with his wife and to his friends. He is a cancer, they are known for being very sensitive and family oriented.
I love how he asked her what she prefers as an act of affection and she replied "Dancing"...then later, even after he said he wouldn't dance, goes and asks her for the next dance. He's an extremely shy person and said later that he has a hard time talking to people. So just imagine how scared he was to dance with her! He did it anyways cause he wanted her to know his feelings towards her. After rewatching it knowing he's super shy, all the awkward silent scenes are so sweet and heartfelt!! ushshsHsgsg this movie is so good!!! 😫
(Spoiler) also, reading through the comments seeing some don't understand and see no chemistry: It's supposed to be like that in the beginning because that's how Elizabeth see's him, a cold man who looks as if he's better than everyone and shows no emotion.. then later, after elizabeth confronts him about his actions, he explains everything in the letter and it completely changes her point of view about him. She then realizes they have more in common than anyone and that she truly loves him.
I’ve just read the book and at the beginning he acted like that not because he was shy but because he felt he was superior. Until that time in Netherfield when he started to have feelings for her. Still he tried to fight them, because she was from a lower status who could make him lose his reputation. And then, after she rejected and explained how she perceived his character he tried to change in order to be likeable (with not many hopes of gaining her love). But in the end, and thanks to his aunt, he found out he might have a chance with lizzie
I commented something like this on another video. I also realised that he asks her how she thinks you show your affection and she says dancing. Then later, to show his affection for her, he asks her to dance. I also thought that this may also link to him being jealous when he saw her with wickham, the scene before. Perhaps. Maybe he was scared of losing her to him. But any way yeah totally agree. Absolutely love this movie. I reckon it will probably forever be my all time fav movie unless something else comes up but I really doubt it.
This version of Darcy resonates so much with me, one awkward dude who has no idea how to express the raging fire in the heart, and most of the time... just scared stiff.
@Dalton Bond I see it differently, since that would just cause men to just feel entitled to have the women. Which I'm not saying that there wasn't any. However, there was not need to romance and courtship whatsoever which was something very prominent according to history. I even can remember when I was little that romantic letters used to exist, the elegance of love was totally different compared to todays. And at that time of me growing up. Women were independent already. But there also was no cellphone, and the internet wasn't near close what it is today. So I can definitely see the difference of relationships from now to back then, and it seems at least that technology has play a good part of it. In my opinion.
@Dalton Bond first, don't come with Biology here, since in this subject was not needed. Second, I never said that women were independent in the 1800's, I specifically said when I was young or before cellphones came along or the internet was hardly something compared with what it is now, to make a time reference, which by that time women were independent, at least in most countries. Third, again I disagree with you. It seems you are not a romantic person, which is fine. However, don't generalize, because not all men have your same opinion for romance. There are men that are romantic and not for the solid purpose of "getting laid".
@Dalton Bond well, I just saw this but to finish our conversation from different comments in a fair account. I will say... 1st, no, romance it's not a liability, it's a characteristic, a quality. 2nd, yes, I would love the romance but in person, preferably. I'm not a woman of text, etc, if possible. 3rd, not all men do it to "get laid" but of course that's something good to look forward to for both men and women because sex is an important part of a healthy relationship. It would be ignorant to say otherwise. And last but definitely not least 4th, for what I have read I'm really sorry that you have been this hurt by society's pressure and by the wrong women that came into your life before your "game" lifestyle started. Hopefully, you'll have a different perspective once the right person comes along if you are open to the idea, because that will definitely be up to you.
It wasn't until I read the book and began to understand what they were saying did I realize how deep and amazing that scene was. Now, I get this weird trail of goosebumps and fast-beating heart every time I see it
You know, I always thought that when he flexed his hand after that, it was because he was disgusted by her. 😬 My sister had to explain to me that wasn't it. 😅
BelleFlower15 I was also curious why the camera zoomed in on his hand twice in the movie. i read it was because at the end lizzie ultimately takes his hand in marriage. so it was kind of foreshadowing
Most underrated scene: When Elizabeth meets Georgiana, it's so nice to see everyone happy and laughing. The way Georgiana looks at her brother you can tell she knows he loves Elizabeth and that she approves of her.
Also when Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley enter the drawing room at the end and Elizabeth slowly looks up at Mr. Darcy to find he is already looking at her and he quickly looks away. 🥵
I always drink tea when I watch this. For my friends and family it’s hella weird cause I’m a big coffee drinker. But for this movie I cup of tea is adequate 😂
In this nearly two hour movie, they have a total of 25 minutes together and they manage to have one of the greatest if not the greatest love story in the entire compendium of English literature. Jane Austen was a goddamn genius and this is the reason she is still remembered nearly 200 years later.
Same, I have watched it 10000 times. My favorite adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. I love Elizabeth, the mom, the dad, sisters, and of course Mr. Darcy!
Oh Lizzy he's going talk bad behind your back then he's going to ask you what do you recommend to encourage affection why did he ask her that after insulting her behind his back did he realise bingley was right Lizzy is very agreeable
@@charlenerafferty3534 Short answer, because there'd be no story otherwise beyond "Say, remember when Darcy and Elizabeth hooked up at that dance and got married?" In universe, I reckon Darcy knew Charles would blab to his sister that she had a rival for his affections and she'd then be on his ass like white on rice all night long. Go back to that dance scene where they're talking about bad poetry, you can see Caroline behind Darcy's elbow trying to stare a hole in Lizzy.
@@charlenerafferty3534 Do you understand subtle glances or not? Sometimes words are spoken differently from the heart. That's why it's called Pride and Prejudice. They are misunderstood at each other all the time.
But it says on Darcy wiki page relationship with Elizabeth Bennet that Darcy doesn't think much of Elizabeth cause of seeing her inferior to him in class however he starts to admire her beauty and intellect as they become better acquainted
"I do not have the talent of conversing easily with people I have never met before." Me neither. And I am not rich nor handsome. I am destined to die alone.
No, eventually Darcy’s loving words and his kindness towards Elizabeth’s family is what makes her fall in love with him. I’m sure there is an Elizabeth for you out there :)
Lizzy falls for Mr. Darcy because 1. He is adaptable to her/willing to step outside of his comfort zone for her; 2. He's willing to explain himself ("I don't converse easily with people..." and explain about Wickham in the letter) and 3. He rescues her sister's reputation when he could have stood by and done nothing. It's not about being rich or handsome; these are deeper, character qualities.
@Caifán Nah, you are here watching pride and prejudice which means you have romance and cuteness in every cell of your body. You are going to be fine. 💕
Have you seen ‘North and South’ BBC drama series 2004 written by Elizabeth Gaskell and set in the Victorian era. That is the most Romantic movie I have ever seen. Well worth a watch believe me!
The way Mr. Darcy’s hand convulses after a touch from Elizabeth WWWOOOWW And then Mr. Darcy is right behind her in the dance room when she’s very pretty done up And then he walks off as Nervousness
I love how he says her beauty is only perfectly tolerable, but the moment he's walking in the room the first and only thing he notices (actually double-checking) it's her. Just perfect!
Thats why Keira Kneightly perfectly fits the role She is not very gorgeous which makes it easier to talk to her but she has a sense of attractiveness about her that u cant seem to get enough of Similar to Elizabeth
The cinematography is breathtaking and the acting - right on the spot. The subtle meanings and the characters were expressed and built so well. Favorite Jane Austen’s adaptation of all time.
@@graceblue1274 Atonement and Anna Karenina, same director as this Pride and Prejudice. And Keira Knightley is also play on those 3 movies. They're called 3 masterpieces of Joe Wright, the director, with Keira Knightley. But the last 2 movies are not as happy ending as Pride and Prejudice, tragic I say.
Same. I learned how much it shaped me. With Lizzie teaching me worth of ones self and fabulous comebacks. And Mr. Darcy ruining my view of men because he’s fabulous. Why do fictional guys do this
When Pride and Prejudice was published in 1813, farm labourers earned about £42 a year and skilled working-men, bricklayers and masons, earned approximately £66 per annum. Darcy’s annual income of £10,000 was thus vast. In today’s terms, he belonged to the top 0.1 per cent of British society. Elizabeth Bennet was likewise upper class (albeit with some middle-class relatives) because Jane Austen says that Mr Bennet was a country gentleman with an income of £2,000 a year, a sum whose modern equivalent would place him in the top 1 per cent of the British population. (The incomes of farm labourers etc are taken from P.H. Lindert and Jeffrey G. Williamson, ‘English Workers’ Living Standards During the Industrial Revolution - a New Look’ The Economic History Review, 2nd series, XXXVI, No. 1, February 1983).
Hi. Converting the sums of money mentioned by Jane Austen into their modern equivalents is very difficult and the totals reached vary enormously. For example, Wikipedia used to say that Mr Darcy’s £10,000 per annum would now be worth almost £1,000,000 a year. However, at present it says that Mr Darcy’s annual income would be equivalent to over £13,000,000! The previous estimate was on the low side but the current figure is much higher than any I have seen before. What is certain is that Jane Austen’s contemporaries would have known that her fictional characters were generally either very rich or at least wealthy. For instance, Mr Bennet’s annual income of £2,000 was well over four times what the average lawyer was earning in England at the time. Moreover, Mr Bennet had a larger income than some of Jane Austen’s other landed gentry. In Sense and Sensibility, for example, John Willoughby of Combe Magna had around £600 to £700 per annum. Hence the Bennet family home, Longbourn House, and its estate were well worth inheriting and the parents of Charlotte Lucas were thus delighted when she agreed to marry the heir to the estate, Mr Collins: ‘Sir William and Lady Lucas were speedily applied to for their consent and it was bestowed with a most joyful alacrity . . . . Mr Collins’ . . . prospects of future wealth were exceedingly fair. Lady Lucas began directly to calculate with more interest than the matter had ever excited before, how many years longer Mr Bennet was likely to live.’(Pride and Prejudice, Volume 1, Chapter 22.)
You cut out one of the cutest parts! After Mr. Darcy runs out of the house, Mrs. Collins turns to Lizzie and says: "What have you done to poor Mr. Darcy?" Lizzie looks out the window at him almost laughing "I have no idea!"
They cut one of my favorite lines, too. When Darcy asks her, May I have the next dance?" She replies, "You may." Then she takes Charlotte around corner and says, "Did I just agree to dance to Me. Darcy?" Charlotte says something like, "I dare say you will find him agreeable." Elizabeth laughs, " That would be most inconvenient since I have sworn to loathe him for all eternity!" Show the scenes with Darcy and Elizabeth, but show FULL REACTIONS!!! 😭😉💗
I was sad they cut the sassy table moment with the old lady.. forgot her name These moments aren't direct dialogue but are important as to their ideas of each other
@@miadaniella477 Uhmmm..... All of them?😂😂 I pick up on their vibe and can understand why they get offended when they do, but it's only because of the tone of their voice that they say it in that allows me to realize what they said wasn't nice 😅
Okay so for the first scene, mr. Darcy and our other two characters come in and are introduced the Bennetts including Elizabeth. When walking in, Elizabeth asks who the guy with quizzical brow which is another way of saying like an eyebrow that's kind of like raised as in kind of like looking down on someone. Her best friend says that that's mr. Darcy and that he owns half of the biggest state and then Elizabeth says that he has the miserable half. Then later on after the bennets have been introduced to mr. Darcy, Elizabeth asked mr. Darcy if he dances and he says not if I can help it. And then later on in this video mr. Darcy is talking to his friend and his friend is like oh Jane was real pretty and Elizabeth wasn't bad either but then mr. Darcy says no man you were dancing with the prettiest lady in the room and then says Elizabeth looks intolerable meaning she's not pretty enough to be worth his time. Then later during the same ball Darcy and Elizabeth are in their circle of family and friends and one of the friends mentioned poetry and how they receive too much. Elizabeth then says oh the Poetry must have driven them away. But then mr. Darcy says isn't poetry the food of love? Elizabeth disagrees and then mr. Darcy says well then what would you consider a romantic gesture? And she says dancing which he earlier said he never does. She also says even if one's partner is intolerable. she was there for insinuating that he didn't know how to romance a girl at all and that she heard what he had said to mister Bingley about her.
The second scene takes place in the big mansion and it's Mister Bingley sister mr. Darcy and Elizabeth. Elizabeth walks into the house and she asked Hey where's my sister and mr. Darcy answers that she is upstairs. Then Elizabeth says thank you leave the room and mr. Bingley sister says that the bottom of her dress which she calls the Hem of the dress was 6 in deep in mud since she earlier asked if Elizabeth had walked to the mansion we're Elizabeth there for said yes
But his face changed as soon as he said it. He realized he had made a mistake. I think the scene meant to relay that he was in a panic mode when Lizzy walked in
I like the scene where Elizabeth walks in after walking for a long time. Her hair looks so pretty and wild. Darcy stands up so abruptly and he stares at her after speaking. His crush on her is immediately obvious. Lmao.
Most men at that time never seen woman with their hair down / wild as it was seen as intimate or post-sex hair / inappropriate. I believe that is why he was so shocked with seeing her, wild hair and muddy dress
In the book, the exercise (from her walk) made her face flushed with rose cheeks and glistening skin, iirc. She definitely had that bedroom look with her wild hair and dirty dress lol
I've watched many romantic movies but this one...this one wins. Their love is so pure, beautiful and superbly authentic. I had butterflies watching this especially during their kiss at the end. Their love slowly grew into something that not even them could control. The actors played the characters so well, their looks, their personnalities, the tension between them, all of it. Darcy and Elizabeth's story is breathtaking
@@Alexandria4242 Of course! I haven't seen many movies like this however. But here's some of my favorite movies/series with kind of the same vibe (Ik they're popular so I'm sorry): The Greatest Showman Anne with an e Little women Tangled Enola Holmes Reign And I haven't watched them but I believe that every movies based on Jane Austen's feel kinf of the same way
@@arlene3770 have you read the book? In the past 4 days I have read the book again and watched the movie twice. And because I saw the movie before reading I had the images so clear in my head imagining everything and then I watched the movie and could tell every thought the characters had based on the book when they were silent. Specially Mr. Darcy!
@@juthikamallika2969 if you haven't read the book. I will say to not waste any more time on missing out of that master piece. The journey is surreal when you imagine this actors while reading.
Maria Clemente me too I’d love some continuing story movie or tv show the closest we have is (death comes to pemberley ) have you seen it ?? It’s a good story but it’s only 3 episodes!! Not nearly enough 😂
Maria Clemente that is why I love rereading the end of the book so much! It shows their happy and easy relationship, at least a little more than the movie
I'm sorry, I just find 20:35 so funny **everyone's in a dark room, scared looks on their faces as they wait for news. Mr. Darcy is pacing; he just can't stay still, until he finally is resigned to the fate of waiting. Just as he sits down, Elizabeth comes out.** Elizabeth: **gasps** **walks back to her room** Mr Darcy: **sits back down** I'm in stitches every time.
Mr. Darcy: I've struggled against my better judgement, my family's expectations, the inferiority of your birth, my rank and circumstance─all these things, I'm willing to put them aside and ask you to end my agony." Lizzy: "I don't understand." Mr. Darcy: "I love you." Lizzy: *cONFUSION*
Mr. Darcy this, Mr. Darcy that. In pages of comments not one has mentioned the pure talent that is Keira Knightley. I couldn't imagine any other actor playing Miss Elizabeth Bennet since this was created. The chemistry and eventually the love between them is tangible. Such a fine film
exactly! in my opinion keira's acting was way more impactful than matthew's. i think everyone ended up focusing on mr darcy because the audience is predominantly female.
@@lowquality49 i wouldnt say more impactful. they both empowered each other in their scenes. it's like you are only at your best if your opponents pushed you all the way through your limit. They both have so much depth in their acting, that one subtle body language or glances relayed multilayered emotions to the audiences. jeesus christ, no 1 act the way they do, no 1. And kudos joe wright for capturing every moment of it perfectly.
definitely not alone, have cried to this almost three times. At first I was very adamant (to myself) about not watching the film again bc I'm busy with schoolwork and I didn't want to cry so much again. Yet here I am, 3 am and crying over this beautiful film. God I'm lonely.
Nice observation! There is research that straight men and women in love automatically changes their pitch so as to match the other’s. So Elizabeth in turn would darken her voice when talking to Darcy!
I love that scene at 8:11 where Darcy is seen in the darkness and his face in the shadows looks really dark and almost serious and then he steps forward into the light and he somehow looks so much kinder and vulnerable. It's so similar to how Elizabeth sees him throughout the film. He seems very cold and distant at first but as he becomes closer to her his true personality shines out.
Elizabeth’s gesture of taking Darcy’s hand here is her answer to his question back in April, during the rain scene, when he said “ Please do me the honour of accepting my hand” i.e she accepts his marriage proposal.
You're in great luck. Jennifer Ehle (1995 production's Elizabeth Bennett) is reading it during our Quarantine! It's here on youtube and on her Instagram!
Took me 3 to finish the book 😓 it’s so easy to put down because English was more complex back than and difficult to understand. When I finished it I honestly thought it was ok. But since so a lot of people love the book so much, I’m giving it another try.
I watched this movie over 4000times in the past 2yrs due to depression...this is my happy place rewind & repeat. Whats really absolutely crazy is as im watching this & typing I have the movie playing in the background
It is definitely a film that is a go to for hard days. Even my 38 year old son goes to it when he's having a hard time. Jane Austin, helping people get thru for almost 200 years! If only I could bottle that feeling. Thank God for literature and film. I hope you're doing well.
Have you noticed that Georgiana plays the same music on the piano as Lizzie, only at a whole another level? Every detail in this movie is just perfection..
“I cannot forget the follies and vices of others so soon as I ought, nor their offences against myself. My good opinion once lost is lost forever.” Darcy stay away from Twitter!
@@charlenerafferty3534 I think he meant that if his impression of someone turns sour, there's nothing the said person can do to get back in his good books.
@@NG-uf2iu oh right but if talking about Elizabeth Bennet she immediately dislike him if before he demean her but what does he mean I have fought against my better judgement I don't know what he's on about I think he meant he sees Elizabeth Bennet as beneath him so he was against her and I think he thought she was uncivil I'm right I could be wrong are like it says on the back of the pride and prejudice book Elizabeth vivacity beauty and wit leave Mr Darcy unmoved there first meeting maybe he noticed all
I must have seen this film a 1000 times and never get tired of it. Love the storyline, the characters, the acting, the music and the way some scenes were filmed. Pure magic 💙 And how it is all both so deep and light-hearted at the same time.
Pride and Prejudice is the reason I sit here drinking wine contemplating the singularity of meeting only one such Mr Darcy in my entire life. Soulmates
I adore Darcy in this version. He is much better understood after reading the book though. His shyness mixed with his superiority complex comes across beautifully and his transformation is wonderful. Fantastic acting. I just wish this version was as long as the BBC version.
I’m gonna take a guess and say that Mr. Darcy’s insulting comments in the beginning towards Lizzie was him trying his best to convince himself that he didn’t like her even though he instantly noticed her so much that he did a double take of her while he was walking through the crowd from the get go and he was simply complimenting Jane’s beauty because he was encouraging his best friend to go for Jane because he clearly noticed how much his friend was already taken by her. This makes more sense to me in my mind when later it’s revealed that he was technically engaged at birth to another woman; he was simply trying to honor his family/promise/expectations and not to fall in love with Elizabeth in the beginning but as we know he desperately fails ♥️🥹 I think he wasn’t expecting to ever see Lizzie again until she walked back into his life while visiting sick Jane with her hair all down and glowing in her natural beauty. There was NO going back for that man from there 😂👏
I agree with this analysis In addition to 1. Bingly is from the middle class 2 mr darcy is from the upper class (those who are less than one % ofthepopulation) 3 mr darcy has an ethical attitude and integrity So he used to deal with girls and mothers in conservative manner to avoid giving them hope 4 he was not that pride man (Remember that elizabeth told her father he is not proud I was entirely wrong about him Remember the house keeper of pimberly) He was conservative as a sort of protection 5 in his first proposal He was trying to explain his social circumstances and informing her that he admits scruples in their relationship simply because he loves her and admires her personality
I love that moment at their house when she catches him staring at her and it's almost like he's annoyed that he has to look away because he's so charmingly awkward. And then when he realizes that she would've wanted him to stay... my God, he got so happy.
Matthew is by far the most wonderful and handsome and sexy mr d'arcy ever. He has a great little boy lost look on his face and something lovely about his mouth when he speaks, the little inflections, the voiceless yummy!
I’ve been telling my friends this exact thing, but no one agrees. He’s so electrifying, his eye contact so heart wrenching! His whole being makes me tremble. Yet he can be so calming my beautiful in the background of some scenes. Matthew is a wonderful actor in that all the emotions that need to be expressed are there in the precise milliseconds they need to be there to convey the message and I love ittt!! I love the way he walks, speaks and just exists.
Mr. Darcy is proof that men can fall in love, without worrying about sex. I'm in love with this movie about real love... It is meant to grow, even when you have dislike towards someone at first. I really wish I'd been born in the time of courtship.
@@ilqar887 love grows without sex, just by proximity the more time someone spends with another the more they will like them, there is a reason why 22% of ppl married ppl were once coworkers
I love that Mr. Darcy always listens to every word Elizabeth says whereas if she did the same she would have understood much sooner the reasons for his behavior towards Mr. Wickham.
I absolutely adore the scene when he helps her her to the carriage,and after that, the director focuses on his hand... That gesture,oh my, is so full of passion and love!
I love this adaptation, I have only one problem with it: I wish it incorporated the scenes where Elizabeth and Fitzwilliam shared after they opened up about their feelings to each other; they have very meaningful and deep conversations about the evolution of their relationship and they are so heartfelt; would love to watch those scenes with these two...
When he does that double glance at Elizabeth when he first sees her... I melt 😍🥰 It’s obvious by his reaction that she’s the most beautiful women he’s ever seen in his life.
But he called her barely toreable when bingley said Elizabeth is very agreeable and after he said behind her back didn't know she was listening then ask her what do u recommend to encourage affection did he realise bingley was right Lizzy is very agreeable
@@charlenerafferty3534 That’s because he had to hide his true feelings towards her because of his rank of class. He saw her inferior to him but it doesn’t mean he did not think of her as beautiful. It would’ve looked incredibly awkward if he expressed his feelings right away about Elizabeth as Bingley did with Jane. People would’ve started questioning him and possibly would have reacted as his Aunt did when she found out he was in love with Elizabeth and was supposed to marry her daughter. She attracted him more than he liked which is why he was very dismissive towards her at times.
@@an-angel I know Jane is the prettiest sister but Lizzy is described in the novel is described as the second prettiest Bennet sister it's Mary who is the only plain sister and Elizabeth friend Charlotte is plain too it was wrong of Mrs Bennet Lizzy mother to go it's pity she not more handsome and saying oh but Lizzy would never she is plain of course Lizzy won't admit her friend is plain
@@an-angel : Agree... after that double look Mr. Darcy was fighting to control his feelings and not to show too much for he knew he was falling in love with Lizzie 🥰😉
I’ve been crying over this movie for five days, i’ve watched other things too but i can’t get it out of my head, i turn into a mushy softie whenever a scene pops into my mind ,,, how does one get out of this
They said there's going to be 1 movie that you will watch over and over again and continue to feel joyful and in love afterwards. This is that movie for me. I think I watched this more than 5 times since I discovered it. I'm actually listening to this in audiobook version. Such a good story.
