​@@Des17SI think that's the whole point of that blunder though, his pride in not seeing beyond himself and his closest circle and the prejudice he formed on first acquaintance with the Bennets suspecting them to be like every other person of lesser means trying to cozy up to them for their wealth. Which turned out to be true. However, Lizzie proved to be much more of an independant person with honor and decorum, he knew she would not agree to marriage unless her feelings were true. But Jane is so shy, he probably thought she was being steered more easily by her family (just as Lady Catherine was with him).🤷‍♀️

I wish she just would have leaned into the "Really dog? Look atchu fam.". It's not that I want it spoon fed to me cause we can assume that he realizes that her sister is much like him in terms of finding it hard to show affection but I think having some sort of light bulb moment would be the best way to show that's another part of his prejudice.

YES! There are so many paradigm shifts in Darcy & Elizabeth’s proposal argument scene. It’s delicious watching them go from talking past each other based on their own perspectives, to finally connecting on the same page based on growth, effort to see the other side, and the humility to admit where they were wrong. So much more romantic than screaming “I love you!” from the lawn or combat kissing.

Fun fact regarding the hand shots: Back in the regency era men and women were generally wearing gloves when out in public or at balls. It was considered very personal and intimate to touch hands skin-on-skin with the opposite sex - and could be seen as very inappropriate between non-married couples. The 'hand shot' where Darcy helps Lizzie into the carriage, is the first time they touch without wearing gloves. Hence the hand-flex because of the 'spaarrrkss'

I think part of why this story has endured for centuries is that it is an incredibly well-written characterization of people whose flaws (and cultural/social norms) cause a huge rift when ultimately, they are both well meaning people with some blind spots. So often conflict feels contrived or not true to the characters. Yet this story is crafted so expertly that they're misunderstandings build to dramatic proportions and huge consequences for their lives. Get in the end both are redeemable because they did not act out of maliciousness though perhaps some pride and some prejudice. I may be biased because this is the first film version of the story that I ever saw but I really think this version is incredible in so many ways. The cast is amazing, the costuming is perfect, the sets and the cinematography are absolutely gorgeous. You can see what the chemistry of the actors in ever scene. Not to knock Bridgerton but I just tried watching it for a second time and struggled. I understand it is supposed to be totally completely different and a bodice ripper rather than a more truthful "historical" fiction. Also supposed to be centered on sex which isn't bad but I definitely feel like bridgeton could learn so much from a movie like this for that has so much real tension that isn't communicated by breathing really hard with a heaving bosom 💀 The tension between Lizzy & Darcy is always palpable in their glances, their witty rapport, their jabs at each other. I just "buy" it. If Bridgerton could give me all of that tension and then rip the bodice off I'd be thrilled. But I suppose I'm holding them up to an impossible standard by holding them up to this movie.

Keira's funny faces is what makes this movie so relatable and modern to watch. You feel like you are gossiping or laughing with a bestie. The book also gives the same feeling, it's easy english

I think it's the same with the other cast members as well, regardless of their station it makes them feel like normal people not so different from us despite the time and culture gap. While it may get snubbed a bit for historical innaccuracy I felt they succeeded in capturing the heart of the story. I love the other adaptations too but this one is my favorite simply because there is no extra theatrical barrier where you can tell they are "acting" the role, they just become the character.

Great reaction. To answer some of your questions: The Bennet family is part of a social class that no longer exist today called "The Landed Gentry." It's a class of land owners who make money off of the land they own. Mr. Bennet is a gentleman, therefore he doesn't have a job. Neither do his wife and daughters. Today, they would be considered part of the upper middle class or lower upper class. Their money problem isn't that they're poor, but that their entail stipulates that only a male heir can inherit after him. Having had FIVE daughters, that leaves them in a bad spot. Bingley's father was a working man, but he made a fortune. That ensured that his children would have class mobility and never have to work. Mr. Darcy comes from an aristocratic family, so he also doesn't have a job. He just runs his humongous estate (which brings him money). Fun fact, as the 19th century went on, the fortunes of many European aristocratic and gentile families started to dwindle. And, since they weren't expected to work, they couldn't gain funds. Meanwhile, the USA was starting to become the world power that it is today. America entered the Gilded Age and a lot of working families made fortunes. Although actual work was looked down upon by the gentry and the aristocracy and the nobility, working men started to out-money them. That resulted in many noble, aristocratic and gentile European men marrying American women of lower social classes, but heiresses of big fortunes. The industrial revolution really helped blur the lines between social classes! Ps. Cinderella’s dad is a rich merchant. He’s a man with an actual job!

They got the Ansel elgort and Shailene Woodley treatment 😭😭😭

26:38 So in the book it's a little bit more clear. After Elizabeth leaves Netherfield with her sister, who's now recovered from her cold, Mr. Darcy who felt he was in danger of falling in love resoluted himself in trying to keep distance from Elizabeth or to at least not to open himself to the idea of marriage/raise Elizabeth's hopes to marry him. But he was completely wrong about Elizabeth's feelings and the reason for their banter and verbal sparring. The funny thing is that the more he spends time with her, the more he's falls in love, and the more she spends time with him, the more she dislikes him and has prejudice. (The movie makes it seems like they are both very attracted to each other tho) When comes the Netherfield ball, Mr.Darcy sees the Bennet family making a clown of themselves, the father is disinterested, the mother is silly, the two youngest sisters are militia crazy and chase after officers, Mary is pompous and wants to play the piano whenever she can, and she isn't bad but people don't really enjoy listening to her. Only Jane and Elizabeth are respectable, decent and lovely in their family. And hearing Sir William Lucas talk about the soon to be marriage between Jane and Bingley, Mr.Darcy took it upon himself to protect his friend after observing that Jane didn't seem as attached to his friend, and he also followed Bingley to London to distance himself from Elizabeth too. (Note that Bingley is only recently rich and doesn't necessarily know how high society works. Darcy is a good friend and pretty much teaches him/mentor him and advices him. Bingley's father was a merchant who worked really hard all his life, and his children now get to live from this new money. Which explains why Bingley is a little bit like a golden retriever, nice to everyone, while Caroline is more snobbish and trying to belong to this high society. And fun fact, the Bingleys are richer than the Bennets, but the Bennets actually are part of the middle class gentry, owning a fairly decent estate. The Bingleys have no estate to their name, hence why they are renting Netherfield ) Anyways, the reason why Mr.Darcy found himself proposing to Elizabeth is because he spent time with her at Rosings and at the Collins, and that far from the Bennet family. He didn't have that constant reminder that the Bennets were silly people and only focused on Elizabeth. And persuading himself more and more that she was WAITING for him to propose to her, which he fervently did but also degrading her by talking bad of her family, her lack of fortune, the difference in rank, etc. While proposing, he was SURE that she would accept him. Oh was he wrong. And he also didn't take into account that he had separated Jane and Mr Bingley because he was also sure that Jane wasn't attracted to Bingley the way Bingley was, and therefore, didn't think Jane would get hurt, due to her lack of interest (according to what he observed). So really, Mr. Darcy was very arrogant in the way he proposed, in his certainty that she would accept him and Elizabeth had all the rights to reject him. Even if she was wrong for siding with Wickham, but to be fair, she didn't know he had lied to her.

I always loved the bits with Darcy and his sister. It's the only time you see him relaxed and with a genuine smile. Would.

I also fucking love the first proposal scene because it shows that the two of them are still caught up on the expectations of their circumstances, their families, and society’s prejudices. That they both don’t really know what being in love means. And that they still have work to do! And then JANE GOD DAMN AUSTEN cracks her knuckles and wrote them FIXING those issues. Like Jesus Christos! I love when a writer reads her characters for filth, and then makes the characters FIX it. Not because they expect to be rewarded for doing the heavy lifting, but because it was the RIGHT thing to do! And the reason? Because they loved each other. It was the only selfish thing they wanted, and BOOM. You do the work, you get the girl! It’s so satisfying. ALSO the best conceit of this story is that the more Lizzie is willing to let go of her prejudices and her pride, the more she learns about Darcey. And the more wonderful a man he becomes! Which is why she says “Papa, I’ve been so wrong about him!”

Personally I find it so fascinating to see how customs change over time, although each generation thinks that their version is the only "natural" one. You might want to watch and react to Gone With The Wind, also with the back and forth between courting couples - and also in your reaction, comment on the racist elements of it - because it very much is.

Looking back (as an autistic person) it’s so clear to me that Mr Darcy is autistic, he’s blunt and bad at conversing as his status and gender has meant he’s never really had to try, he asks Elizabeth what she thinks he should do as he doesn’t know, and then immediately listens, he tries to read others but fails, UGH so relatable.

Darcy's lust for Elizabeth is the equivalent of Anthony in season 2 of Bridgerton

The Miss Bennet thing is clearer and more obvious in the book. And you may be able to see it a bit in Bridgerton a bit, I did notice it once this season. The eldest unmarried sister is always Miss LastName and the sisters following are Miss FirstName or Miss FullName

Gonna add also: if you watched BBC's Pride and Prejudice (1995), Mr. Darcy often calls Lizzy 'Miss Bennet', instead of 'Miss Elizabeth', when Jane is not around. Basically, the rule is if the eldest unmarried daughter/sister is not around, the next eldest younger daughter/sister (or even the younger daughter is alone) is addressed as 'Miss Lastname'. You'll see this kind of situation when (kinda spoiler: Bridgerton season 3), when everytime John Sterling and Francesca Bridgerton meet each other (without Eloise around), John would address Francesca 'Miss Bridgerton', instead of Miss Francesca.

One of my favorite things about this movies (that i havent seen mentioned yet at least lol) is that Matthew has incredibly horrible eyesight. During the walking in the mist scene at the end, he couldnt tell which direction to walk, so the director or cameraman had on a BRIGHT red shirt so he knew where to go💀

Quote of the Day: “When I say I suck, I SUUUUUUCK!”

28:29 Little things that occur to Lizzy after reading the letter that we find out in the book - a) the fact that Wickham told her all that stuff about his personal life when they'd only met once before and were relative strangers b) the fact that he said he had no fear of meeting Darcy in public and then didn't attend the ball c) the fact that he said he wouldn't make Darcy's behaviour publicly known out of respect to the late Mr Darcy, but then soon after Darcy left the area with the Bingleys suddenly the whole town knew about it. And after he ran off with Lydia, the whole town that had adored him suddenly started talking about how he's owes half of the tradespeople in town money and he has gambling debts as well - which is the only reason he left Brighton because of his debts, just figured he'd take a pretty girl with him.

A bit of some messy behind the scenes info: Rosamond Pike and the actor who played Mr Bingley (Simon Woods) had dated for a couple years before being cast in this movie. They had barely been broken up a year before they were cast as lovers in this movie. So, imagine the awkwardness. Furthermore, Simon (Mr. Bingley) had left Rosamond for a man. A few years later he married a different man.

When me and my three best friends finished school we rented a cottage in Derbyshire and did a little pride and prejudice trip. We had a sunny day out at chatsworth house (pemberley). It’s was gorgeous! Also there is steps you can see behind mr darcy’s head in the scene where he and Elizabeth are talking awkwardly after she’s run out, that is actually a fountain that water runs down. My friend Jess fell in it and it was on of the most hilarious things I’ve ever seen. Also fun history fact; Chatsworth house is actually the ancestral seat of the duke and duchess of Devonshire (they still own it). The most famous duchess of Devonshire was Georgiana cavendish who Keira knightly played in ‘the duchess’.

Darcy’s house in the film is Chatsworth House in the UK. the interior is exactly the same. The statue room is real (except Darcy’s bust 😂) though you can buy smaller versions in the souvenir shop
