I prefer the 1995 BBC version as it is more faithful to the book, especially in the location of some of the key scenes. However, having said that, the principle characters are very well portrayed. Matthew Macfayden makes a very appealing Mr. Darcy and Keira Knightley is lovely and captures Elizabeth Bennet's spirit and personality very well. I think Matthew Macfayden might perhaps convey Darcy's shyness (as opposed to arrogance) slightly better than Colin Firth. (Of course, they're both gorgeous!) Still think Colin Firth has better hair, though! :o)

A delightful movie indeed. One of the few "romantic" movies I can actually and enjoy without feeling sick (but honestly, I'd rather read the book or watch one of the longer versions!). Those who characterize Pride and Prejudice as purely romantic are missing the larger point of the work, which admittedly does not translate as well as I would like into this version of the movie.

Pride and Prejudice is not a novel about the love lives of the Bennett girls. Pride and Prejudice is a story about the pride and prejudice of two people, and how that plays out in the world. The characterization of Jane Austen's characters is fascinating, though, once more, rather rushed in this version. For those who "do not have time" to watch either of the 5 hour versions (http://sophiesmindset.blogspot.com/2007/05/nothing-but-very-deepest-love-will_11.html; http://sophiesmindset.blogspot.com/2008/08/jane-austens-pride-and-prejudice.html), and are too lazy to pick up the book to read will find the gist of the plot in this movie. And it is done rather well, all things considered.

I think the casting is excellent ... aside from Kiera Knightly who really just rubs me the wrong way as Lizzie. Just realize that if you do not supplement this version with the longer one, or with the book, you are missing out on so much of what Austen filled her book with: character analysis and real people, not a sappy romance.
