Jane Austen's classic novel of 1813, Pride and Prejudice, still wins the hearts of countless schoolgirls with its romantic story of Elizabeth Bennet and her Mr. Darcy. Now, the 1996 BBC miniseries is winning over adults, with its faithful adaptation, gorgeous scenery, and superb acting.
The essence of the story is the antagonism between Mr. Darcy, a wealthy single man who believes Elizabeth to be beneath him, and Elizabeth, who upon being insulted at a dance by the aloof Darcy refuses to associate with him in any manner. Austen evokes incredible tension with the wit and flirtation of the two characters, and director Simon Langton (who also directed Upstairs Downstairs) successfully translates the repartee and conflict in this six-hour miniseries. Dialogue, for the most part, is painstakingly replicated, except when fleshing out and smoothing for modern sensibilities was necessary. Darcy, for instance, is drawn out, giving his personality significantly more depth. The acting sweeps you away to Regency England: Jennifer Ehle (of Wilde) is convincing as the obstinate Elizabeth, who, despite her mother's attempts to marry her off, spurs the attentions of Darcy. And Colin Firth (of The English Patient) will have women everywhere longing for a Mr. Darcy of their own.
For those who have been on an Austen binge--enjoying such excellent adaptations as Sense and Sensibility and Persuasion--this miniseries will round out the ultimate Austen video library. For those new to these romantic period pieces, Pride and Prejudice will have you hooked and longing for more. One caveat, however: plan to watch it in an entire day, because very few have the self-control to not watch all six hours in a single sitting. --Jenny Brown (Amazon.com)
Es ist eine allgemein anerkannte Wahrheit, dass ein Junggeselle, der im Besitz eines schönen Vermögens ist, unbedingt eine Frau braucht."
Diese simple Wahrheit scheint sich zu bestätigen, als in Meryton zur Freude der dortigen Gesellschaft und aller unverheirateten Frauen zwei vermögende Junggesellen auftauchen. Besonders die Familie Bennet, die mit fünf Töchtern gesegnet ist, setzt große Hoffnungen darauf, dass eine ihrer Töchter das Herz eines der beiden Gentlemen erobern kann. Zunächst bestätigt Mr. Bingley diese Hoffnungen, doch Mr. Darcy scheint ein unnahbarer und arroganter Gentleman zu sein, der besonders Elizabeth, die zweitälteste Tochter, mit seiner Missachtung verfolgt. Bestärkt durch sein Verhalten und einige unerfreuliche Dinge, die sie über ihn erfährt, weist sie ihn ab. Doch ihre Wege kreuzen sich immer wieder und nicht alles ist so, wie es scheint...
