Title : Review: Pride and Prejudice
Time : 10:12 pm
Earworm: Check on it~~Beyonce
Not being familiar with Jane Austen's works, i went in the cinema with little expectation of how the movie will turn out. i was quite charmed by it actually. (i have a thing for british accents =p) liked the repartee between mr. darcy and elizabeth bennett during their 'forced' dance.(ooh keira knightley looked so lovely with pearls in her hair too!) watched with amusement at mrs bennett's obsession over frivolities and getting her daughters married off deemed more important than their well being, was annoyed by the younger giggling siblings though. read reviews that the film didnt concentrate so much on social commentary but focussed more on the blossoming love between darcy and elizabeth, which i don't particularly mind, was swooning at the final scene which i thought was so sweetly romantic! and i must state here that im not a die hard romantic, but that scene just sent tingles up my spine =) well, maybe i need to read the book to make a better comparison but the movie was great to watch, interspersed with moments of wit and hilarity, albeit my english couldn't really catch up with the mouthfuls of literary english (ah well there's always malay and chinese subtitles lol)
rating: 3.5/5
