Mr. Darcy VS. Mark Darcy | RomComs 

Yes, but Firth can do pompous and stuffy infinitely better than anyone else, and that is the very essence of Darcy.

One would assume the channel is not aware of Colin Firth having owned the role since 1995...

Maybe because the 1995 “P&P” show isn’t available in Many countries.

It might not be as readily available as the movie. But considering social media these days, and the fact that his role in Bridget Jones was an ironic tounge-in-cheek to his Mr.Darcy it should’ve come up at some point.

That was my first thought

Right!?!

Yes, yes, and yes. Sooooo agree with you.

I agree! I just watched the one with Colin Firth yesterday & he was so wonderful. Both actors did an outstanding job on their respective P & P's, I love both very much! But the one with Colin more showed Lizzy & Mr. Darcy falling in love I felt there was a bit too much sassy wit from Lizzy in the newer one, & in the BBC one Lizzy's mother screeched like a fisherman's wife, which however helped us to understand the other noble people's disdain or repugnance about the Bennett family. The newer one showed a much warmer & sweeter mother, I couldn't understand objections to their famy.

Nesouhlasím, ale to je dobře. Každý má právo na názor. Oba mají jedno společné. Jsou výborní herci.

@@pattimorey7766 I haven't watched the BBC one, but in the newer one, when Mr Darcy says "it was the lack of propriety of your family, especially your mother" I think that says it all. Mrs. Bennett was certainly nosy, presumptuous and lacked any sort of social propriety. She may not have been screeching, but calling out Charlotte for being so plain as to not likely find a husband... that right there was enough for me to understand any disdain.

Agreed

I didn't. But by the end of the movie I did. He's my fav male character ever.

Oh yes yes!

Matthew's is excellent! I love, I love, I love him! 🙂

As is Firth, as well!

In one interview Keira Knightley herself said "Matthew is irresistible"!

HELLO MS. HALL😃😃😃.. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍.. MATTHEW MACFADYEN IS MT FAVORITE MR. DARCY😃😃.. HE HELPS MR. BINGLEY.. WHEN HE IS WALKING TO ELIZABETH.. WHEN HE SAID, "I LOVE.. LOVE YOU."

I love them both! Colin's showed a tough strong resolute character, i Ioved that! And, Matthews' showed a poet's soul trapped by formality & convention, to me. So, I love them both equally!

Especially when Bridget interviews Colin Firth in the book in Italy.

The writer of Briget Jones admitted that her book is based on Jane Austens pride and prejudice. If you think about it there are many similarities within the storyline . The fact that Mark Darcy has the same name isn't a coincidence.

Only

I agree with you

The Best Ann Lee's version from Sense and Sensibility.

In your mind

No way

Yes. Even better than Sir Lawrence Oliver's version.

I would like to watch the bbc mimi series, do you know where i can watch it ?

@@jpbrunet2659 I personally own it on DVD, but in the past could find it on various channels. If you have cable , or stream, you can find options. Look at you tube also. I found cable to expensive, and disconnected years ago, been streaming ever since. I can see anything I want there. If you need any tips on either choice, let me know. Pride and Prejudice g.co/kgs/4Nq6Tk

@@jpbrunet2659 They have it available to buy on Amazon. At least here in the UK.

I saw both too… impossible to compare. One a series, the other a most epic movie. Both Darcies are great. But i prefer the poetry and magic of the movie. Btw… Colin was the only good actor in the series.

@@MYRIAMLATEUR it was not a movie, but a mini series on BBC, six hours in 2 hour segments, and then other channels with Colin Firth, my favorite version. The other one was alright, but condensed.

Yeah two Darcy's in one movie

Which movie you mean?

@@Svitlana_Dudnyk Operation Mincemeat, Mr. Knightly is there too!

Happy for you madam!

😄😁😆😅🤣

Tiveram outras versões anteriores de P&P ao da BBC, inclusive em alemão. Já vi um video no youtube comparando a mesma parte da historia nestas versões. Outro video do RU-vid faz uma analise do Filme de 2005 dando dicas das mensagens por gestos e expressões e não palavras interpretados pelos atores e pude perceber como o filme foi bem elaborado, Foi então que o Mr Darcy do Mathew subiu muito no meu conceito. Eu, particularmente, adoro o Mr Darcy do Colin, e foi muito legal ele fazer uma releitura do personagem em Brigdet Jones, outro filme que eu adoro. Só pra terminar, os 2 Darcys do Colin sao muito semelhantes em personalidade, mas me ocorreu agora que a Bridget Jones está mais para a mãe da Elisabeth Benet do que pra própria Elisabeth. Um abraço, bom ver um comentário em português

Pero Collin hizo un excelente trabajo en la minoserie de Orgullo y Prejuicio de 1995. 🥺 tan bello

Whatever. Matthew is the best Darcy

We get you Violet. 😁

Not me, I do however have very fond memories of him in Pride and Prejudice😉

@@niniusa OOPS my WORST! Confused due to identical costumes!😛

Well said! I think people like the new version are not familiar with the book Pride and prejudice or had not read it. So they really can't gauge the better performance of the two actors or which version is superior 🤔.

@@gloriakohler415 So, do you mean people who have read the book and watched both versions (1995 & 2005) but prefer the 2005 version do not exist? Shame on you.
