I feel like this movie is the perfect example of the female gaze and also how people become attractive as you get to know them. Like, they genuinely make Mr. Darcy more attractive as the movie goes on. and its such a great slow burn!!!
'female gaze' as such does not exist the way you're using it. 'male gaze' specifically means the way in our society women are depicted through the masculine heterosexual lens as objects for the pleasure of heterosexual male viewers. it's a specific word to name a specific way of misogynist oppression, not simply a male viewpoint of attraction. so tacking the world 'female' on instead to mean a female viewpoint of attraction is a false equivalence. also describing the female view as inherently less shallow or more emotionally attached is no less gender essentialist just because those traits are deemed positive.
Yoo its cool that you picked up on the super close family dynamic. The actors for all the Bennetts actually lived together during rehearsal and filming to create an authentic feeling of them knowing each other well and being very close!
6:54 just to give you a titbit of information on the regency era., It wasn’t out of the ordinary for cousins to marry, and FYI Mr. Collins is like a second or third cousin.
Yes, it isn't too clear from the book, as I remember, as to whether he was cousin to Mr. Bennet or to the daughters. It sort of gets passed off as he was a "distant" cousin. (Cousin is/was often used as a collective term for relations sort of vague.) In Gone With The Wind (set in 1860's), Scarlett's father tells her the Melanie is going to marry Ashley and in that family, cousins often married.
This is the second reaction I've watched where Mrs Bennett is compared to Kris Jenner. I don't know so much about the Kardashians but this gives me some insight!
5:25 "what is that?" That my dear is the "Mr. Darcy Hand Flex" that Hand flex has had full research papers written about it particularly because they both took notice of the impulsive moment in their own was Lizzy was caught off guard and Darcy had to pull back and reserve himself... it wasn't a custom of the time or gentry English society for men and women to have casual physical contact
Hhahahaha your reaction is everything I like of this movie hahahaha . I’ve watched this movie more than 50 times , and the book read it more than 10 … hahaha the main characters are sooo good, the scenes so beautiful, the colors, the music , it is the only movie that doesn’t need a kiss to represent love, it makes it the sunrise . Darcy’s eyes , and be shy is everything that is good 😌
i L O V E this movie also great idea to watch the movie first, i read the book first (for school) and was SO lost, especially with like... time? like how soon or far apart events were and stuff but after watching the movie, it all made perfect sense
i'm currently reading/listening to the audiobook of "most ardently" which is a retelling, where the main character is a trans man and it's really good so far (and there's lesbians in it too!)
@@user-gx8ii3hl4l i'm trans-masc and sometimes into men so it's (so far, anyway) been really relatable :) have you read any other queer p&p retellings?
Could you be the one of the first to not buy Mr. Charming's story? Sad boy has more than one reason to protect himself, his family and his friend. Every mother on earth trying to solicit their daughters to him, protection of his sister and can only direct his friend from his own experiences. However, he was a bit pompous in doing so. Until he got the Lizzy smack down. He did the work without expectation to better himself. And she grew to be more understanding of herself as well. Jane Austin's happily ever after story's written for her sister and for herself.
A spectacular reaction, and you mentioned sapphic shows which means I gotta fly in and drop some recs! For movies, if you haven't seen Portrait of a Lady on Fire then omg, similar vibes to this and amazing. Also, Princess Cyd, The Watermelon Woman, Go Fish, Circumstance, Pariah, Bound & The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love. For shows, DICKINSON!!! and Yellowjackets?! I hope you've been partaking. Also, Sugar Rush, A League of their own...also, Buffy The Vampire Slayer features one of the first (if not the first?) canon lesbian relationship in primetime network TV and it's worth the while. I would eat up reactions to any of these but also just generally recommending cause I can't help myself, even if you enjoy in private! I know this is a lot, but I'm a big media consumer, so I will emphasize that I stand behind ALL of these recs 10000%.
Mr. Collins and Mrs. Bennet are representing the common sense marriage typical of that day. Since Mr. Collins will inherit the Bennet property, if he marries one of the Bennet girls, it will provide a way for them all to remain in the house they love. Lizzie and Darcy are actually being really impractical, but it all works out because he is hella rich.
@@justravs я люблю у Джейн Остин романы "Гордость и предубеждение", "Эмма", "Чувство и чувствительность", "Нортенгерское аббатство" и "Доводы рассудка". Но не люблю роман "Мэнсфилд-парк", там девушка выходит замуж за кузена.
That scene of Mr Darcy walking in the field, at sunrise, awaken my delusional mind: the man did not sleep at all that night, pondering about his feelings and a life without Lizzy, and in an act of despair yet hopeful, he walked for hourzzzz (let's be real, the man doesn't live next door) to reach his beloveD, trying once more for his darling to put him out of his misery... With haste, he dressed up but did not take the time to button up his shirt (sexy Darcy 👀🤭) , he's walking in a determined fashion in those fields, the man knows, he is burning for her❤🔥❤🔥... I love those period romance stories
This movie is my biggest comfort movie. It is so witty and romantic, the characters feel alive in a way that its hard to explain. The whole story feels like a breath of fresh air even though it was written a couple centuries ago.Your reaction was everything!! Immediately subscribed
I don’t know why, but your reaction to one of my favorite movies just made my day. I appreciate Darcy’s sad boy title very much 😂 He is just so awkward but adorable. I want to watch this movie with my girlfriends now and I do hope they enjoy just how funny this movie actually is.
Hands down the best reaction to this epic love story. Me and my sister watched this in our local theater almost 20 years ago. We loved it so much that on our way home… we turned around and got tickets again for the last full show of the night 😂. Safe to say… we have since watched it “a few more times” since then.
@@justravs Thank u. There’s an endless list of movies and tv series that me and my sisters really like together and I’m a little weird that even some Barbara Cartland novels are still a topic of conversation between me and my 3 younger sisters lol.
I am loving that so many people are watching this movie now! Long time Austen fan, I love the books, mini-series over the years but this film has insanely beautiful cinematography. The infamous hand flex is probably the most well known achievement, but their dance is a jewel as well as Darcy walking across the moors. If memory serves, they had to use a laser pointer to help the actor walk that distance with the lighting.
girl I literally JUST saw a tiktok where someone played Possibility by Lykke Li from New Moon over the scene where Lizzie is spinning on the swing and it fit so perfectly 😂😂
I'm always so happy seeing people reaction to pride and prejudice. It's defitilely my favorite book, i saw the movie for the first time with my mother and she also is a big fan of pride and prejudice so it is our little thing. My boyfriend knowing this gifted me the blue ray of the hbo mini series and I immediately watched it with my mom. This story always gives me a cozy feeling.
@@justravs интересная версия этой истории. классические экранизации мне ближе. но как необычная и адаптированная к новому времени она стоит того, чтобы посмотреть её. я тоже думаю, что вам понравится. или уже понравилось)
You Need to react the te miniseries LOST IN AUSTEN!!! WHERE MODERN GIRL AMANDA PRICE ENDS UP INTO EWARDIAN PERIOD AND HOOKS UP WITH DARCY. While Elisabeth Benneth is gone through the portal to live in modern world. AMANDA'S and Darcy's story is A MUCH MORE FUN, ROMANTIC AND ENJOYAPLE
So, if you liked this, I go "watch Ever After" and/or "watch the 2015 Cinderella". :p Both very good romances as well, though (admittedly) nowhere near as well shot at this movie is.
It took me a minute to actually like this version... I kept comparing it to the 1995 mini series version with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle.. they were absolutely wonderful and Colin was an incredible Mr. Darcy. But I have grown to appreciate this version very much and love just how sweet this Mr. Darcy is... But still... that moment when (Colin Firth) Mr. Darcy comes out of the pond on this estate is just totally fire...wow, he is just stunning.. Anyway... maybe you will check out the limited series version from back in the day and share your thoughts... Loved your reaction to this one!
If you ever watch the 1995 BBC miniseries (please.do), I hope you'll react to each part foe.the channel! You'll find out why Gen X has been in love with Colin Firth for 30 years.
If you want to get a version that will take you closer to the book, watch the BBC miniseries from 1995. So much more time to develop the story and Colin Firth as Darcy, you would enjoy it!
@@justravs это совсем другая версия, но тоже очень милая. мне нравятся обе, каждая по-своему. и я люблю обоих мистеров Дарси. На самом деле, экранизаций этого произведения намного больше и не только англоязычных. Но эти две самые популярные. Хотя мне очень нравятся ещё как минимум две старые версии.
if you like this you might like Mr. Malcom's List, it's a great modern take on this era of historical romance that really captures what works about the original's inspiration like pride and prejudice
Sweetie, have you watched the Pride and Prejudice Alternative Ending and just chose not put it in the reaction video or are you still missing out on one of the most lovely and sweet moments of Lizzie and Darcy (now married!!!)?
2:29 yo this legit is so similar to how I was introduced fhdjdjjdjfjd I’m so happy you’ll have a similar first introduction. I also watched the film before the book or show
Hi, I don't know if anyone has commented this yet, but there is a retelling of the classic "Pride and Prejudice" made in Bollywood called Bride and Prejudice, it was one of my favorite versions as a child, the songs, the dances and the entire setting made the film something super New to a story that has already been told several times before, it's been a while since I rewatched it because it's hard to find in my country, but I highly recommend that you watch it
I don’t see how you can do a reaction and it gives a movie justice in 20 minutes, especially when the first six or seven is you talking in the movie? Hasn’t even started so really in 15 minutes. No.
I know of four filmed adaptations of this story (that stick to the original storyline), a 1940 black-n-white version, a 1980's (I think) 6-part series, the 1990's series, and this movie. The '80's version is pretty bad in my opinion, in being slow and sort of emotionless. The 1940 version is a bit different - the story is told from a lighter view. (This movie used the town waddling geese movement from the Pictures at an Exhibition, which is mocking the way the Bennet mother and daughters act together.) But it is interesting to see. I have to admit I saw both the '40 version and the 1990's one, and didn't really get into either. After watching this 2005 movie, I went back and read the book and rewatched the earlier ones, enjoying all of them more and more. Took me awhile to figure out who was related to whom by what connection. (I also went to watch the 2005 version after watching Red, White & Royal Blue - 100x - to see a romcom from an earlier era.)
AHHH! I just found your channel and love seeing people find Austen's stuff for the first time. Your other content looks right up my alley too. I have to recommend the 2020 adaption of Emma if you liked this. The direction is just gorgeous and the chemistry between the leads is amazing. If you've ever seen Clueless you'll be familiar with the general plot as it was a modern adaption of Emma! I've also recently fallen in love with the 1995 adaption of Persuasion if second-chance romance is a trope you like. A lot of people prefer the 2007 version, but I like how accurate the 1995 version is and how they nail the sort of subtle yearning of the leads.
@@justravs я тоже советую посмотреть "Эмма". но если вы хотите и романтическую, а не только сатирическую версию, то советую иметь в виду также обе версии от 1996 года и версию от 2009 года
People stop comparing Pride and Prejudice to Brighton. There is no comparison between a Jean Austin masterpiece that has ruled over all love stories of stories. Brighton is simply not good. Normally if you like Brighton, Pride and Prejudice is NOT for you. A classic can never compares to modernization with lame ideas
Chill lmaoo no need to have an elitist mentality. Both were enjoyable for different reasons! Bridgerton is fantasy while Pride and Prejudice is classic lit - I’m aware and allowed to have fun with both ♥️
