There is one movie and book that stands out in our hearts as an all time favorite for most forever hopeless romantics. Pride and Prejudice is not only a classic in literature, but it is also a work of art in the movie industry.
It is truly my own personal all time favorite. Perhaps, largely owing to the fact that my daughter and I spent countless hours watching the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice throughout her high school years. Any rainy weekend or holiday break was all the reason we needed to break out the dvds.
As soon as the new version starring Keira Knightley was released in the theaters, we were in attendance for it's debut. We both now own a copy of that dvd as well.
Ironically, we each have a different movie version of Pride and Prejudice that we prefer.
PRIDE & PREJUDICE DVD'S REVIEWED
I have personally seen 3 of the 4 versions available and I do have my own preference. Obviously, the story-line is the same, but the actors do play a major part in personal choice, as well as the depth of detail. I tend to always prefer the movie that most closely aligns with the original book, mainly because I usually watch the movie because I first loved the book.
I find deviations distracting even when I do appreciate some things simply don't come across as well on the screen. I completely understand that screenwriters and directors take liberties to make a more entertaining movie.
I would love to hear your opinions. Please leave your comments and tell us which version you prefer.
However, I will warn you in advance, her reviews will send you running to your dvd players and searching for your own copy, or copies, of Pride & Prejudice.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts!
