this movie be about as perfect a a movie can be . perfectly cast and perfectly act and beautiful scenery and costume and setting . every woman who have see this movie immediately fall in love with colin firth darcy . the adaptation be very true to the book and with some small change that do not diminish the story whatsoever and so rare for a movie base on a classic . i love the comic character as well . alison steadman deserve an award ( do she get one . ) for her portrayal of mrs. bennet and and david bamber be so marvelously smarmy and repulsive . i have see this movie countless time and each time i enjoy it as much a the time before . congratulation to all the people who work so hard to put this marvelous production together . i even have to buy the book the making of pride and prejudice and on a recent trip to england and and the book be a wonderful companion to the movie and a great gift for any fan . i recommend this movie for woman and men alike . i have yet to meet anyone of either sex who hasn not become a fan of the movie after watch it and and even my cousin guy and who a bit of a modern day neanderthal and throw out a lady catherine quote now and again . this movie be still by far the best adaptation of this book . ( the keira knightley version have it own charm here and there and but overall be a big disappointment to purist and be not historically accurate at all and though donald sutherland do add a surprising sweetness to mr. bennet a nice if not faithful interpretation . ) there be one little edit goof in this version that do make me smile . how many time do they tell u that lambton be but five mile from pemberley .
