PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (2005) + Joe Wright’s DVD Commentary

⠀ pride and prejudice (1995) + letterboxd reviews ⠀

Darcy looking out windows all the time is so real. When the level of adoration and awkwardness in his gaze gets too intense he has to disperse it outside for safety reasons.

snoopy of the day

lovely story from a friend today.

Offer help; accept help. You will be a part of creating a helping culture. Which, incidentally, weakens capitalism and the fractionation between people that benefits those who would use us.

The Bennet education "system" is very laissez-faire, so very uneven learning would be expected in my opinion. I don't think Jane would have been lazy, but it does seem like she's acquired zero accomplishments and I think a prudent parent would have encouraged her to learn more.

Darcy even said that that was the most important accomplishment in his snobby list ;)

Darcy, Realizing: hold up

Realistically the in character choice for Darcy is for him to be like "well the honorable thing is to tell her the truth" and the betrayal the embarrassment the combination betrayal and embarrassment of finding out that you've been bitching about someone TO THEIR FACE without realizing it. But Darcy is taking everything she's said DEADLY serious and making changes, except for Lizzie she now has to reconcile someone she disliked with someone who's a trusted friend, and it's like... On the one hand he has this much deeper understanding of the wrong he did, but on the other she has this completely different perspective on him as a person and is much more willing to accept that he was acting out of love for his friend. So she's already forgiving him and he's like "no your criticisms are valid and I'm taking them seriously."

And when she later learns that her pen pal is Darcy she wants to hate him, but she also knows his story and how many of his actions actually sounded sensible from that perspective. That could be a good way to also emphasise her faults in judging him prematurely.

And obviously that's not actually going to happen, because it IS Elizabeth, but I can easily imagine her mentioning having a lot of sisters but not an exact number (or even yes an exact number, it's not like the Bennets have a monopoly on "having five daughters"), and telling him about things people have said that sound like things the people he's met Would say, but he wasn't actually there for them so he doesn't really know, and maybe she talks about what happened with Charlotte and Colins but that kind of relationship really isn't RARE... Like, it's enough that he's picturing certain people when she tells him about things people she knows did, but it's not until she gets really specific about the Jane and Bingley situation that he's absolutely 100% sure that it's her. (And also that clarifying that absolutely will torpedo their relationship, but now it's REALLY dishonest and awful if he doesn't)

and other lies you can tell yourself

Bet on me.
