Pride & Prejudice (2005) Blog

Our  P&P (2005) movie's 10th Year Anniversary  event  here continues (and concludes tonight!)... In continuation of our Movie Roundtable discussing  Joe Wright 's  Pride & Prejudice   ( 2005 ) film, and to conclude our 4-part movie discussions here (Read part 1 , part 2 , and part 3 ), we ( Regina Jeffers ,  Sharon Lathan ,  Jeane   and I,   Natasha Shubrick ) discussed (in this part 4 ) about any P&P  movie related topic (excluding the  common Darcy wars , of course) that we've always wanted to say something about and our favorite visual technique or symbolism that director Joe Wright used and emphasized throughout the film. Read our  Pride & Prejudice  ( 2005 )  movie discussion  ( part 4 ) after the jump, below...

Our P&P (2005) movie's 10th Year Anniversary event here continues... Like my Top 10 Favorite individual Elizabeth Bennet and Darcy Moments posts, it was difficult to pick my Top 10 favorite moments of them as an OTP (One True Pair) too as they were both equally great as individuals as well as together (as a romantic couple). Keira Knightley & Matthew Macfadyen as Elizabeth & Darcy has the best on-screen chemistry . They were perfectly cast as these iconic characters Jane Austen created more two centuries and two ago. Here are my Top 10 Favorite Elizabeth & Darcy Moments in P&P (2005) movie ...

Our  P&P (2005) movie's 10th Year Anniversary  event  here continues...   In my previous guest posts , I’ve referenced the artistry of the 2005 Pride & Prejudice adaptation: the cinematography , the lush colors and amazingly beautiful locations , the exquisite musical score , symbolic clues and the emphasis on the differences of the various social classes . I appreciate all of those things because they only add to this film’s distinction, but what I love and appreciate the most is its liveliness , animation and the spontaneous feelings that manners cannot contain.  It appeals to me visually , audibly and emotionally .

Our  P&P (2005) movie's 10th Year Anniversary  event  here continues... During the 10th year anniversary  day ( UK Cinema Release ; September 16th ) of   Joe Wright 's  Pride & Prejudice   ( 2005 ) movie, we ( Jeane ,   Natasha Shubrick , Regina Jeffers , and Sharon Lathan ) started here a   Movie Rountable   discussing all about the Pride & Prejudice (2005) movie . Now, to resume to the third part of our  4-part roundtable movie discussions   here, we discussed about our thoughts on which minor characters in the movie most caught our attention and Elizabeth and Charlotte 's unpleasant conversation in the swing scene about Miss Lucas ' announcement of her sudden engagement to Lizzie 's "dreaded cousin" Mr. Collins . Read our  Pride & Prejudice  ( 2005 )  movie discussion  ( part 3 ) below...

Our P&P (2005) movie's 10th Year Anniversary event here continues... I previously posted about the main cast and supporting cast of Pride & Prejudice (2005) whose careers soared and have continued to be busy after their P&P (2005) film . I thought I'd include the people behind the scenes who made this beautiful movie happen as without them, this movie wouldn't have been made. Also, some of them are incredibly talented and you may (or may not) have been surprised to have seen their familiar work in other award winning films. Also, director Joe Wright not only love working with his actors from P&P in his other films, but also love working with the same production crew. See JW and some of his P&P film crew (with photos to see what they look like) and where they are now or rather what their current and upcoming films are, 10 years later after their P&P movie ...

Our P&P (2005) movie's 10th Year Anniversary event here continues... I previously posted about this 7 years ago here: P&P From A-Z , but I thought I'd update it (edited with images) in a new post here, this time all about Pride & Prejudice (2005) movie, FYE and for the nostalgia. I got a bit creative on the letters X and Z . Here's P&P (2005) Movie from A-Z ...

Our P&P (2005) movie's 10th Year Anniversary event here continues... Yesterday afternoon (Saturday, September 26th ) and for the first time, more than a few hours later early this (Sunday, September 27th ) morning, there was another surprisingly, not back-to-back airing of Joe Wright 's 2005 Pride & Prejudice movie starring Keira Knightley & Matthew Macfadyen on TV. It was last shown on Bravo channel twice last August 8th and 9th.

Taking a little break here from our on going  P&P (2005) movie's 10th Year Anniversary  event ...to celebrate a birthday. Today  ( Sept. 26 ) is Talulah Riley 's (aka Mary Bennet of Pride & Prejudice 2005 film ) 29th birthday . Miss Riley was born in Hertfordshire , England (UK)  30 years ago today.

If you're fan and have a  twitter  account, follow  Talulah’s official Twitter  here or @TalulahRiley or @talulahrm on Instagram .  Tweet/message her  and wish her a  happy birthday  today. Happy Birthday Talulah Riley!

Our P&P (2005) movie's 10th Year Anniversary event here continues... I thought I would repeat posting this here, (edited with added images, of course). As previously mentioned, I had the pleasure in being invited to guest blog at  Karin Quint 's Dutch Jane Austen website : Jane Austen.nl , in which I wrote about The Magic Feeling of Watching Pride & Prejudice (2005)   film. Her website is also celebrating the 10th year anniversary of the P&P (2005) movie with a  Pride & Prejudice - party: see you on September 25 for P&P fans (to celebrate this movie's Dutch Cinema release : September 22, 2005 ) today! Read why this movie gives me the magic feeling whenever I watch it below...

Our P&P (2005) movie's 10th Year Anniversary event here continues... It was quite hard to pick my Top 10 Favorite Elizabeth Bennet Moments . It's even harder to pick my Top 10 favorite Darcy Moments in Pride & Prejudice ( 2005 ) movie . There were so many great Darcy moments/scenes in this movie. Matthew Macfadyen (my all-time and personal favorite Mr. Darcy ) did an AMAZING job portraying his Darcy role. In my opinion, he was simply perfect for this role. Even without a dialogue and he just stands there with his "quizzical brow" and stared (most of the time with those gorgeous blue eyes ) at Miss Elizabeth , he was just so mesmerizing and irresistible. I just love...love...love him as Mr. Darcy ! Here are my Top 10 favorite Darcy Moments in P&P movie ...

Our P&P (2005) movie's 10th Year Anniversary event here continues... I love that in Pride & Prejudice ( 2005 ) movie, almost every scene and events were seen through Elizabeth Bennet 's eyes as she's the main character , in which Jane Austen wrote her to be in her classic ( 202 years old) novel. Oscar Nominee* Keira Knightley ( nominated for an Oscar * - Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role for P&P movie for her Elizabeth Bennet role)'s Elizabeth  appeared in this film from the opening scene to the very last, Mrs. Darcy (American) ending scene . I love Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennet . In my opinion, she did an EXCELLENT job portraying this role. She had a lot of great moments/scenes that I loved and enjoyed watching. It was hard to pick my favorite EB moments/scenes and narrowed it down to just 10, but again, I had to pick only 10 for this post... Here are my Top 10 Favorite EB Moments in P&P movie ...

Taking a little pause here from our on going P&P (2005) movie's 10th Year Anniversary event ...to celebrate another big P&P anniversary , this time the 20th Anniversary of the Andrew Davies penned 1995 Pride and Prejudice starring Colin Firth & Jennifer Ehle . It first aired in the UK's BBC One network back in September 24th, 1995 (exactly 20 years ago today)! Happy 20th Anniversary P&P 1995!! Last April, I previously posted here: Two beloved Pride & Prejudice screen adaptations with upcoming anniversaries in September 2015! Of course, we've been celebrating here the 10th year anniverary of Joe Wright 's Pride & Prejudice ( 2005 ) film all month long, but today, I thought I'd take the time to celebrate P&P 1995 's 20th anniversary . I know this version isn't my top favorite (it's at least on my top 3), but that doesn't mean I didn't like it. I did and thought it was still very good. Yes. I was a bit ...

I had the pleasure in being invited to guest blog at  Karin Quint 's Dutch Jane Austen website : Jane Austen.nl , in which I wrote about The Magic Feeling of Watching Pride & Prejudice (2005)   film. Her website is also celebrating the 10th year anniversary of the P&P (2005) movie with a P&P viewing party  for P&P fans (to celebrate this movie's Dutch Cinema release : September 22, 2005 ) this week, on Friday ( September 25th )! In return, I asked her to guest blog here (thanks a lot,  Karin ) and talk about this movie as our   P&P (2005) movie's 10th Year Anniversary  event  here continues...She's not a big fan of this movie, but she does like other things about it and watching it, loves the movie soundtrack, and appreciates director Joe Wright 's  different approach and artistic choices in adapting Jane Austen 's classic Pride and Prejudice novel into a 2-hour film. Read Karin 's different perspective on Joe Wright 's...

Our P&P (2005) movie's 10th Year Anniversary event here continues... One of the many things I love about Pride & Prejudice ( 2005 ) movie is the memorable and quotable quotes (and dialogue ). I know pretty much every line/quote uttered by various characters in this movie by heart. There isn't just one to remember because there are so many unforgettable quotes and one-liners from this movie. For my Top 10 Favorite Pride & Prejudice Movie Quotes here, it was very hard to pick and just narrow it down to 10, but that's the point of making a top 10 list. I know I left out a lot, but I managed to pick 10 that I can quote instantly and love the most. Obviously, the top 2 are a fan favorite, but mine too. Here are my Top 10 Favorite P&P Movie Quotes below...

Now, to continue on, in the  second part of our  4-part roundtable movie discussions   here, we discussed about our thoughts on film critics who said that this adaptation is too far removed from the novel and our favorite Elizabeth and Darcy scenes in the movie.

Our P&P (2005) movie's 10th Year Anniversary event here continues... I previously posted my Top 10 Favorite Pride & Prejudice moments . Now, lets get into my Top 10 Favorite Pride & Prejudice Movie Characters . My #1 favorite is a tie (obviously), I had to pick both for the top spot, because I love both characters equally. Likewise with #6 . Also, #7 and #10 , I liked both for different reasons (and they're both tolerable in this movie...and the latter needs some love and attention...that is all...). Here are my top 10 favorite P&P Movie Characters ...

Our P&P (2005) movie's 10th Year Anniversary event here continues... The UK Cinema release anniversary (yesterday) may have been over, but our celebration and appreciation for this movie continues as we're celebrating it here in this blog all month long. There are so many beautiful moments / scenes in Pride & Prejudice ( 2005 ) movie and, of course, it's hard to pick just one or two favorite. I could say, a lot of them, because I love pretty much every scene in this movie (well, except for a few Wickham scenes, lol), but I thought I'd narrow them down to a Top 10 (I'm starting a series of top 10 posts here, so keep checking for more), my Top 10 favorite Pride & Prejudice Moments here, for our P&P 10th Anniversary event and for the nostalgia. It was very hard to pick these top 10 as I know I've left out a lot, but this wouldn't be a top 10 if I have more than 10, so I had to really pick just the 10 moments/scenes (the top 3 are my al...

Our P&P (2005) movie's 10th Year Anniversary event here today continues... I had the pleasure in interviewing Pride & Prejudice (2005) film 's own Screenwriter , Deborah Moggach , who received a BAFTA nomination ( Adapted Screenplay ) for scripting Jane Austen 's Pride and Prejudice for the big screen, especially for our P&P 10th anniversary event and celebration here today. She is best known as the best-selling author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (originally titled These Foolish Things ), which was adapted into the 2011 film starring Dame Judi Dench , Dame Maggie Smith , and Penelope Wilton and recently had a movie sequel, The Second Best Exotic Mariogold Hotel .

Our P&P (2005) movie's 10th Year Anniversary event here today continues... It is a truth universally acknowledged that the most successful film adaptation (I'm talking about the film version released in Theaters/Cinemas not the TV Mini-series version) of Jane Austen 's Pride and Prejudice , Joe Wright 's 2005 Pride & Prejudice film (which was nominated for 4 Oscars including Best Actress for its lead star Keira Knightley ; 2 Golden Globe including Best Actress nomination for Knightley ; and 6 BAFTA nominations including The Carl Foreman Award for Special Achievement by a British Director ) has the best ensemble cast .

Here's a compiled list of what our favo...

Our P&P (2005) movie's 10th Year Anniversary event here continues... Pride & Prejudice (starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen ) turns exactly 10 years old this week on Wednesday, the 16th (its UK Cinema release! ) I've previously started a timeline (with a great help from KeiraWeb's P&P Promo Page and few other resources) a year or two ago or so listing all the important dates and events for P&P movie , from when it all started and when it was first announced back in 2004 , up until its Blu-ray release date .

Our P&P (2005) movie's 10th Year Anniversary event here continues... I'm convinced one of the greatest debates ever started on the Internet never involved parenting, social issues, nor politics. No. I dare say the greatest debate I ever witnessed on the Internet dared to ask an innocent question. Which actor played the better Mr. Darcy ? Far be it for me to be divisive and start a lively debate. Instead, I wish to share the joy of why the 2005 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice film remains my favorite .

Pride & Prejudice director  Joe Wright and a few of his main P&P cast: Keira Knightley , Matthew Macfadyen , Rosamund Pike , and Brenda Blethyn were in attendance ten years ago today (and this week) at the 2005 Toronto International Film Festival ( September 10-12 ). They did a press conference and gala premiere ( Sept 11th ), photo call ( September 11th ), and a few portrait session photos ( September 10th and 11th ) to promote the P&P movie , which you can check out below, again for the nostalgia and for this year's 10 years of P&P milestone celebration here at the P&P Blog celebrating 10 years of the film's UK Cinema release this month (September 16th) as our P&P (2005) movie's 10th Year Anniversary event here continues...
