Just got out of the kinoplex after seeing this in a 20th anniversary screening.
What did I think of it?

That you wish you could experience love like this

That's what I felt

Do men genuinely not get the Mr Darcy hand scene or are you just playing into it for the meme?

looked up "mr darcy hand scene" on youtube after seeing this post. I watch the scene, i see the hand thing, the clip ends and i'm confused. I read the comments and it's women talking about it in a way that confused me even more. At this point I only think i get it. He did the little hand stretch at the end because he liked holding her hand. I think women are just easily excited. Or the movie just did a good job of building tension.

Different people interpret it slightly differently but here is good explanation.

it's when Mr. Darcy holds Elizabeth Bennett's hand as he helps her into a carriage—and then, walking away, he flexes his hand. An attempt to shake off the powerful moment? An attempt to remember it? A reflex to the pleasure of that connection? You decide.

What’s funny is it wasn’t even in the script or book, it was the actors idea.

It doesn't have a specific meaning, so people read whatever they want into it. Idiots consider that depth, even when no deeper meaning was intended.

This conveys far more raw emotion.

i was in a community theater production of pride and prejudice. all the girls were talking about the hand flex. i still have no idea what this means. they just told me, "you wouldn't get it."

I always interpreted it that him touching Elizabeth’s bare hand (which is improper for the time period) has such an effect on him that he is losing restraint of himself and can no longer deny how he feels about her to himself. Women find that romantic and most project themselves onto Elizabeth and hope they would have that effect on their own Mr Darcy one day.

Hand fetish is weirder than foot one.

A fetish that most women have my dear anon.

Which half of Derbyshire is the miserable one?

So much worse than the tv series.
Keira is just a bitch as always, she is not Elizabeth.
Darcy is shit.
Plus all the nu-speak for the ~modern audiences.
Genuinely fuck this movie, it's held up only by cinematography and soundtrack.

That's why my girlfriend says she loves my hands and gets mad when I don't cut my nails often. But she said she wants to kiss my feet also. So she has both hand and feet fetish? The fuck?

I really liked it

Knightly/Joe Wright version is the far superior version of Pride and Prejudice.
BBC version had static camera shots, and performances that were decent, but wanting.
Joe Wright version had amazing location shoots, dynamic camera use, a better cast, and far better use of the cast, and an attention to aesthetic beauty in the shooting locations chosen, and the use of those locations.

so once upon a time just touching a girl got people off lmao

You just parroted like a retard that all this movie has going for it is cinematography thus proving my point.
Lmao what acting? The movie cut out most of the book. Knightley is just her bitchy self and while Macfadyen was better than her, he is no Colin Firth. His Darcy is a completely different made-up character.
Firth and Ehle and the golden standard to this day. And btw the 1995 version has plenty of scenery for the audience to enjoy.
There is nothing more to say.

*are

soulless laughable garbage

What a perfect description of something that was made for an audience that doesn't read books.

Realistically speaking, how can mr Darcy be in love with Elisabeth if he hasnt fucked her yet?

He held her hand, that's more than enough.

He liked her personality

You thought it was very good. One of the rare guilty pleasure movies out there.

Movies are a combination of images, movement, editing, music, and acting.
The Joe Wright version of Pride & Prejudice was significanyly better than the previous BBC version, in Cinematography, (by a considerable margin), in both individual shots, as well as with the movement of the camera, something that the BBC version was far inferior at, to an enormous degree.
In addition, the editing of the Joe Wright film was also far superior, since it had to be, to help compress the story into a shorter length of time.
The sets and costumes of the Joe Wright version were superior, showing both modesty in some settings and clothing, and grandeur in others, and pointing out the contrasts.
The music snd score were well chosen for the film.
The actors, particularly the younger actors, were excellent at playing the individual characters, and far better than the acting in the 1995 version.
The 1995 BBC version had almost 3x the film length to help me register the acting, and the 2005 film is far more memorable due to how well the actors represented their characters.

how to say nothing: an essay by chatgpt

You really are a retard huh.

The Hole was her best movie for obvious reasons.

A girl in college was obsessed with my hands and my eyebrows of all things. She wasnt even an autist. She was a normie slut.

Could have used more prejudice.

Keira should have been naked in this movie.

Keeley Hawes is married to the guy from this movie and she kinda looks like an older Keira Knightley with bigger boobs.

all this movie has going for it is cinematography

its almost like cinematography is the most important thing when talking about moving pictures. who knew?

You really are a retard huh.

All the 1995 version had going for it was some decent actors.
Not all the actors were even that decent, only some.
It’s sort of like the difference between Joss Whedon and Zack Snyder.
Joss whedon may be able to make an emotionally involving TV show, but it takes him twelve episodes to pull the audience in.
Meanwhile, Zack Snyder can do the same thing with a montage that is less than twelve minutes.
The director of the 1995 BBC P&P was just nowwhere as skilled as Joe Wright, which is the reason Jow Wright makes movies that get released into theaters, and the director of the 1995 P&P makes TV movies and miniseries that are mostly barely remembered, with P&P being the main exception.
Andrew Davies, the writer of the 1995 version, actually has a significantly more well known list of credits than the director does.

because he liked holding her hand

Yes, this. He's internally gushing that he touched her.
This too, extra lewd.

Why are you watching womens' romance fantasy schlick off flicks?

Keira is my waifu

Why are you watching womens' romance fantasy schlick off flicks?

I rented the film years ago from a local video store when I was bored, and in the mood for a costume drama.
I figured the film would be worthwhile just to pass the time.
It turns out the film was excellent, and ridiculously well made, and it showed exactly why the book was made into a new film just a decade after the BBC version.

Post bongs on the same level of Keira. I'll start. Emma Watson.

Coming into a Jane Austen thread to post the wrong Emma? Shame on you.

Kino.

That one sucked ass. The Anya Taylor-Joy Emma was good thoughever.

Who is the zoomer version of Keira Knightley? Is it the girl from the Fallout show?

Anya is hideous and Alan Rickman was pleasant.
Also their enunciation in the new one is garbage.

Emma Thompson's script for that film is so good it's crazy. Usually making big changes like adding a third sister would be a major fuckup (the book is just Emma and Kate Winslet's characters) but Emma did a great job. I picked up her diary from making the film (along with the screenplay and the art/costume design of the film) and she's so genuinely funny.

One of ATJ's last pre-bogged roles.
I miss her real face so much, bros.

I don't think we've got a Keira. Maybe Anya but she isn't as pretty and already has a better career than Keira ever did. Maybe Pugh but also not as pretty (by a lot) plus she's a huge slut. So, maybe Cailee (except midge and also nowhere near as pretty).
Opinion dismissed.
You are a gay simp.

Why is that handsome guy standing next to a retard?

Shit movie made for amerisharts

I'm unsure how much surely has actually been inflicted on her. There's been a bunch of weight changes as well as aging, so it might really be little to none.

Nigga, hitting those digits just for auto correct to rape the post baka.

There are 4 versions of P&P I've seen and I can like and even recommend all of them for different reasons. I never understand this notion that only 1 version can be good.
1940 film - Greer Garson is the best Elizabeth Bennett in terms of playing her as the book describes (paraphrasing here, but something along the lines of sharp-tongued but so light that none took offense to her jibes). Deviates dramatically from the novel in the second half but that is because the 1940 film is based on the 1938 stage play rather than the novel itself.

1980 BBC miniseries - the only version that accurately portrays Mr Bennett as the cold-hearted bastard that he is.

1995 BBC miniseries - many great things, including the extended runtime allowing for much more of the novel to be included (though a lot of scenes were also invented, namely all those showing Darcy on his own as the book is told from Elizabeth's POV). Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth are rightly praised for their performances, though Alison Steadman's Mrs Bennett makes me reach for the mute button (her fishwife portrayal reminds of the skits where Monty Python played female characters (or just think the spam sketch if that's you know of them). Even in unflattering period fashions, Ehle's boobies cannot be denied (pic).

2005 film - great performances all around, interesting new interpretations for Georgiana and her relationship to her brother, fantastic cinematography, score, editing. In short, easily the most cinematic of the versions to date.

Yeah. My hands are chubby and rough because of construction work, but I have nice clean nails. One girl, who has been my girlfriend for 8 years now was checking my hands back in the college and comparing it with the other guy who had a nice hand with long skinny fingers, but ugly finger nails. I guess I won. Guys, keep your fingernails clean and do not eat your nails.

Guys, keep your fingernails clean

Imagine having to be told this. Like you can literally see the dirt contrasting grossly with the fair colored nails. More likely than not you're stuffing them into your mouth multiple times a day, so fucking keep them clean.

the girl told me i had soft delicate dainty hands.......

But only us third worlder brownoids use hands to eat. You have your le cutlery, right?

Why'd they have to do my nigga Mr Collins so dirty?

What fucking retard eats bread with a fork? Or do you spoon it?
Humiliation ritual.

That's a sign you don't have to deal with much trouble in your life. Some girls even like obese guys because that is a sign that you don't do much or get into trouble a lot and obviously have money to feed more than 2 people. Soft dainty hands are good. Get a prince like look, and women will salivate over you.

We use a knife and a fork in the civilized world. Even with a banana. No man pushes a phallic fruit in his mouth and eats it.

aging

yeah, from 23 to 25, her face magically became 10x tighter on her skull
That's definitely just aging and not buccal fat removal at all, yep
fucking retard
That girl from the Boys, that's also just aging

He's an oofy-doofy goofus in the book, chasing Miss Bennett around the room and begging her to admit that she's only playing hard to get. He was always a comedy side piece.

OP is a woman

Yeah, you might get bricked up otherwise.

bunch of weight changes as well as aging

Retard.

That girl from the Boys, that's also just aging

Different person. Retard.

Not enough bare-chested muscle men in that movie for you?

bunch of weight changes

you're a fucking idiot
again, like what? going from 130 to 120? she's always been fairly slim

different person

not really
they all look the fucking same after they get the surgery

She was very skinny for a while and before that somewhat chubby. Just look at her chest. You think she removed her tits as well?

I swear you people have to either be clinically faceblind or just non-white and you're mentally incapable of properly reading the details of a face because you sound so fucking retarded
This is not weight loss

Excuse me, Anon, did I ever tell you about Lady Catherine de Bourgggghhh

A lot of how your face looks has to do with how the rest of body functions muscularly, hence tension. And of course percentage body fat. It might be brow lift and buccal but it might also not be. She's been non-stop working so not much time for recovery (although these apparently only take a couple of weeks). Anyway, the bog meme doesn't apply here much.

Yes it does.
She looks worse and she got iced out of being the new it girl years ago because she debuted her bogged fucking face in Last Night in Soho (which underperformed) and looked like a corpse in the Menu and has not any wins since, besides doing the voice of Peach in the animated Mario movie where you don't have to see her face.
It's not a coincidence, she got convinced to fuck up her face by some gay executive or some other woman, and no matter who it was, they made the suggestion maliciously

She's doing well career wise. Tropper show at Apple. Movie directed by Gavras, written by (Will) Arbery and starring Chris Evans, Vincent Cassel and John Malkovich. Executive producer on both.

I read the comments and it's women talking about it in a way that confused me even more

women have hand fetish the same way men have foot fetish

women have hand fetish the same way men have foot fetish

Is there anything deeper to foot fetish than it being a version of humiliation fetish? If women like hands, implying upper body strength, does it make sense men like feet because they imply lower body strength or is more of a matter of bare feet signalling comfort?
