That BBC series, like many others, was quite faithful to the original, and though it can be maddening to watch shows based on books where they deviate quite wildly and inexplicably from the plot lines and dialogue, I did also very much enjoy watching the movie from 2005 with Kiera Knightley (not to be confused with another Austen character with the same last name!
) and Matthew Macfadyen in the starring roles. The movie clocked in at just over two hours, and so necessarily had to make quite a few changes, compared especially to the over five hours long BBC production, such as cutting characters from the story line even, and yet I feel nothing was really lost. If you have not seen it, I would highly recommend it, and if you are an Austen fan, I would hope you not take exception to the changes, for the telling of the tale is very well done regardless. I also very much enjoy the 1995 Austen-based movie (Sense and Sensibility) with Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet, Hugh Grant, Robert Hardy, Alan Rickman, and Tom Wilkinson. Emma Thomson won an Oscar for her screenplay That BBC series, like many others, was quite faithful to the original, and though it can be maddening to watch shows based on books where they deviate quite wildly and inexplicably from the plot lines and dialogue, I did also very much enjoy watching the movie from 2005 with Kiera Knightley (not to be confused with another Austen character with the same last name!
I like modern cinematography and movie making when the story is well told and acted. Of course, the story has to be good to begin with, too
The modern version of P&P is visually lush, and I appreciate that, as well. Sometimes, BBC productions are just so bleak and blear, drab, dull, and lifeless I would not say that of the BBC P&P, but still, I felt the movie was superior in some ways, overall, despite its subtractions from the book.
I know you really like Fanny and Edward of Mansfield Park, and another we have conversed with preferred Wentworth and Anne of Persuasion, but Eliza et alia have long been my faves I watched an Australian production of P&P, though, and did not much care for it, especially compared to the movie, even though I think it was also done in conjunction with the BBC.
