Inspired by the famous novel of 1813, the movie “pride and prejudice” is a soft moment of aesthetics, poetry and loving passion, drawn in the historical context of pre-victorian period. If it is largely based on a love story between two characters from different social belonging, it’s also a painting about women condition and obligations in the 19th century.
The director, Joe Wright, offers a spectator a beautiful work with some scenes particularly aesthetics, in the famous landscapes of old England. The Romanticism of the movie appears in the speeches and the staging as well as the places and the quality of the filming.
If some observers will only see in this movie another love story for little romantic and naive girls, other spectators will appreciate the complexity of the two characters’ feelings and personality, the reflexion about prejudices, the description of women condition in this century, and the painting of a desperate and touching family, torn between the willing of seeing its daughters happy and the obligation of finding wealthy husbands to keep their house.
The actors enable the movie to obtain a deeper dimension, and perfectly express the feelings of their characters. In the role of Elizabeth Bennet, the rebel, open-minded, curious, and free daughter, Keira Knightley shows again her talent for playing. Delicate but stubborn, sensitive but strong, she perfectly manages to show the complexity of her character, her despair about her mother pressure on her daughters to marry a wealthy man, and her disappointment and doubts about Darcy.
The couple Keira Knightley/Matthew MacFadyen is a pleasant mix of misunderstandings and attraction.
The character of Darcy is a discreet and taciturn man, who will reveal to be faithful, sensitive and lovely. M.Macfayden did a beautiful work of acting, his personality and his character’s one mix perfectly to make the movie more realistic.

Brenda Blethyn and Donald Sutherland are the parents of the five daughters they try to marry to wealthy men. An hysteric and hypochondriac mother and his quiet, calm and bored husband give to the movie a comic dimension, that balances the romantic and dramatic ones. The actors fit perfectly to their roles and the spectator remains touched by a couple who just tries to make the situation more bearable for their daughters, given that the “wedding” rules of their century.
In conclusion, a touching, romantic and aesthetic movie that we advise to all the people who like love stories and epic moments, in an historical context that make you think about social subjects.
