while the new pride and prejudice film be gorgeous to view and and the soundtrack be lovely and we be not see jane austen pride and prejudice . the film be for some reason set back in the early 1790 and rather than the regency period where the novel be set and a scholar have long show . the bennet longbourn estate be ram shackled and look like cold comfort farm . yet the bennet in the novel be gentry class while they own a farm and but the pig do not walk through the house and nor be the farmyard of manure and chicken droppings contiguous to the home . scene be re set from the novel and and l we forget and jane austen place scene in certain location for a reason . for example and the film put the big darcy proposal scene outside in a storm in front of a neoclassical temple and a oppose to inside the collins parsonage represent why do jane austen put it in the parsonage . because while lizzy and darcy speak with total and if brutal honesty to each other in this scene and the collins have never share an honest word . why the rain and the outdoor proposal . it look like jane eyre meeting rochester . and when elizabeth walk across a windy field to stand on a cliff and view the panorama and one expect her to cry and heathcliffe at any minute . austen have be bronteized . judy dench be a great actress and but lady catherine be suppose to be tall and striking . the petite tom hollander be a brilliant actor represent but mr. collins be describe in the novel a tall and heavy look and which suggest that his terrible dancing with poor lizzy be elephantine . matthew macfayden be another favorite of mine from mi 5 on a and e while in p and p and however and he be more the young heathcliffe and never smile though austen observes in the novel that darcy smile at lizzy quite a bit and and she realize this when she see his wonderful smile portrait at pemberley a portrait that in this movie be for some reason replace by a sculptured marble bust . and much of austen dialogue be change to modern speech . mr. bingley have be turn into such a clown that one wonder why darcy would have him a a friend and why jane bennet would love him . the bottom line be that while this be a great movie to watch and hear and it deviate from jane austen novel so much that any student who watch it and think she could substitute view for reading and would fail .
