Lady Catherine wanted to prevent the marriage and by visiting Lizzie she ironically not just didn't succeed but she even ensured it. What a wonderful example that life can by like that...
@@user-kz8bt1os1i Lizzie's refusal to promise Lady Catherine that she will never enter an engagement to Mr. Darcy gave Mr. Darcy hope and he asked Lizzie to marry him for the second time after that (which she obviously accepted). If Lizzie had not wanted to marry Darcy, she would have no problem to promise it Lady Catherine.
@@snowhitepp3339 oh okay, sorry english isn't my first language. I thought she promised she'd never marry him, but she actually promised she would never promise to deny his proposal, right?
+Rin Lockhart, no that isn't throwing shade. It was an insult. The British take great pride in their gardens, and in those days a large garden was a sign of good wealth.
How can you go to someone's house in the middle of the night....waking the entire family and staff...make accusations to someone... and then say "I have never been thus treated in my entire life"?.... I love how Lizzy sets her straight. And what I love most is that Lady Catherine goes and tells Darcy. Poor thing, she had no idea that sharing what happened between she and Lizzy would be all Darcy needed to seal the deal.....I love it!!!!!
Well, obviously, being who she was Lady Catherine thinks it her right to do as she pleases when she pleases wherever she pleases. She thinks it's perfectly fine to visit the Bennett home at an inappropriate hour and be treated like royalty. But she'd forgotten the little jabs Elisabeth Bennett could deliver ;o)
In the Novel she doesn't come at night ,just a day visit and the family are clueless as to why and they walk around the garden , same dialogue though , excellent..
Emmy Gerard maybe but at the same time in the books she’s fed up with her family many times. It’s understandable she finally explodes at her most emotional moment.
Shakeema Edwards its odd that this is the only one where she says no in everyother she says she cant promise maybe its cause dunch was so scary she was scared to say anything but no
@@joykinser yes, it's a little confusing. It's either she said "no" as a promise or "no, I will never make the promise you want me to make". I'm glad I think she meant the latter :)
I'm over here like please woman.....you barge in and insult someone then expect her to keep a promise? Lady Catherine is very stupid and certainly not a good tactician.....she certainly didn't get her wealth by being smart and it's a wonder she managed to land a rich husband at all with such poor logic skills.
By the small gasp from catherine, I think lizzie meant the latter part, meaning not promising to never interfere in the engagement. I love you Elizabeth Bennet💙
This is the moment that you could actually see Elizabeth's insecurity in this scene, and the disappointment in her eyes as she found out that he was engaged... Oh, this movie will never fail to break my heart... So much emotions
She deduced he wasn't engaged, because as she said to Lady Catherine, if he were actually engaged to her daughter Anne, Lady Catherine wouldn't be concerned that he was engaged to Elizabeth.
She knew he wasn't engaged. That it was just an arranged marriage but Darcy was free to choose and didn't care for Anne. This is the scene actually where they both were given hope. Elizabeth thought Darcy would never marry her after what happened to Lydia but then this rumour came to her and she given hope. And Darcy knew that Elizabeth would flatly refuse him openly if she wasn't interested. But she didn't
I seriously doubt she believed that Darcy was truly engaged to Anne. However I could physically feel the sadness in her eyes when she had to admit to Lady Cathernie that she was indeed not engaged to Mr. Darcy. Her faced showed the heart break she felt inside and left no doubt that she longed for him and regretted her earlier reply to his proposal.
@@melissar593 “…she longed for him and regretted her earlier reply to his proposal”. More she regretted the abruptness of her reply as it really was an innocent misunderstanding of Mr. Darcy’s communication style. She felt the heart of it was missing not knowing that his offer was his newly awakening heart that was reaching out to her from its long slumber. 💚➕❤️
Keira is a very smart actress. She uses her voice with such talent and manages to convey so much with very little wording. The "I am not" (engaged to him) is expressed with such disappointment, hurt, frustration, resign. Brilliant.
I'll bet she thought that. But, she cares for Darcy, she wouldn't try to get him into more family drama, plus she is very truthful. She realizes this lady owns half of the area and can cause damage to her family. She does a great job of being strong but not going over the top. Lady Katherine gets her way by making drama but realizes it won't work here. So she throws a fit. I love this part because Lizzy doesn't have to worry about her in the future, she just put her in her place already.
I have severely studied this scene. The reactions and delivery of everything said and gestured is impeccably mastered. This is one of my most favorite scenes of any film. And I'm a film buff.
One probably underrated scene was the first ball Jane danced with Mr Bingley. I mean, it looks just like establishing party shots but if you look more closely, you'd see who is looking at who and who is reacting to what. Its so small and so thoughtful.
This is an example of taking a quote from the book and using it despite it not making any sense in the context. After all, it is dark, how would she know what the garden looks like?
holy SHIT. I just realized something. PLEASE READ. If you look at it, the late Mrs. Darcy only gave birth to two children, despite the fact that the late Mr. And Mrs Darcy loved each other; Children with wide gaps apart, at that, since Darcy is about 10 years older than Georgiana. Lady Catherine herself only gave birth to one daughter, a sickly one at that. Mrs. Darcy died from illness. Mrs. Darcy and Lady Catherine were sisters, as mentioned in this clip. So, it can be concluded that the women in this family does not have very good fertility/health/constitution. The daughter of Lady Catherine would probably never give birth to any children, given the fact that her body could barely support herself. SO, when Lady Catherine dies and her daughter also dies (most likely childless), there is a chance that her wealth and property would be given to the children of Elizabeth and Darcy. I mean, that is setting aside unknown legal aspects that Jane Asuten didn't mention of course. It's just a 50/50 speculation. What do we know, the property might already be entailed/secured to Darcy given the fact that her aunt is so dead set on him marrying her daugher AND the fact that, like she said, it has been planned since infancy.
There was a brother to the sisters s well, Captain Fitzwilliam's (from the dinner and church scenes) father, so perhaps Darcy and Fitzwilliam would split the inheritance?
The very first time I watched this movie as a young Norwegian girl, I thought that when Catherine asked "do you promise to never enter into engagement with Darcy?" I thought that Elizabeth promised that she would never marry Darcy.. because Elizabeth said "I will not and certainly never shall (marry Darcy)" is what I thought she meant. Now watching the movie again I did misunderstand again, but could see that she was answering it like this; "The question was "do you promise to never enter into marriage with Darcy- " and she replies "I will not (promise that) and certainly never shall (promise that)." Of course this gave Darcy hope, because she just said she would NEVER promise to Never marrying him. Of course most american and english speaking people probably understood this immediately. But there is 2 very distinct way to interpret Elizabeth's reply that I don't think Jane Austen noticed.
It's funny how with Lydia gone the Bennet family just seems that much quieter. I was half expecting to see her and Kitty gasping with giggles when Lizzie opened the door when remembered "oh yeah, Lydia's off in Newfoundland"
Not sure if people have said this to you already use UA-cam doesn't show all replies, but in the book Lizzy and Jane make sure to keep Mary (and I think Kitty) close so that they're better educated.
@@NWCountryGirl17 I remember reading in the book that Kitty improved when she was removed from Lydia's influence and spent more time with Jane and Elizabeth while Mary also flourished now that she was finally getting her mother's attention.
2:39 Mary running away from Lady Catherine is just so hilarious 😂 And just a second before the clip when the bell rings and she's like maybe Bingley changed his mind about the proposal 😀😂😂
She just walks in to someone's house without permission or invitation and then stats verbally harassing the people who live there. Not very "Noble" of her is it. Especially since people need to make an appointment well in advance to be allowed the privilege of being in her presence.
She was there because she was cowardly, desperate and insecure, and not arrogant. She was basically PLEADING to Elizabeth to not marry Darcy. She was intimidated by the Bennets after learning that Jane was engaged to Bingley. Look at her retreat after Elizabeth told her to get the hell out of her house.
Just realized that Lizzy not only will be mistress of Pemberley but also Rosings Park since Ann would probably never marry, it'd all go to Darcy. It's likely to make Elizabeth a heiress. Damn Jane, you upgraded our girl.
I would assume that it would rather go to an heir on the male line. Darcy is the son of Lady Catherine's sister so it seems very unlikely that he will inherit Rosings, even if Ann never has children of her own.
I love that this is what pushes Darcy to go back and propose again, because he realizes that if Lizzy didn't have feelings for him, she would have told Lady Catherine explicitly that the rumors were untrue. Because Lizzy didn't entirely deny it to Lady Catherine, he understands that he still has a chance
“I cannot believe the audacity of that Bennet girl, Darcy! She refused to promise never to marry you!” Actually, CdB is a bit thick. CdB: Did my nephew propose to you? EB: CdB: Are you engaged to him? EB: I am not. CdB wouldn’t _dream_ of the possibility that Darcy proposed and Lizzie turned him down.
Do you really want some rich man who repeatedly insults you and your family to his friends and behind your back, then falls in love with you but continues to believe you're beneath him, before starting to act somewhat decent once you set him straight, taking it upon himself to salvage a situation by having your little sister married to an awful man he failed to disclose his own past dealings with until it was too late to stop her from succmbing to the words of a scumbag, or save some other young girl from a miserable fate?
This is why Judi is one of my all-time favorite actresses. She brings every ounce of raw emotion and authenticity into her performances. Although Keira gave a bloody good performance here also.
All this conceived by the brilliant mind of Jane Austen. It's hard not to love her and her writing. I love the acting, music, and cinematography in this film as well.
Judi Dench delivered a masterful portrayal of Lady Catherine in this film and only proved just how talented of an actress she is. Her character was an arrogant, cold-hearted, egotistical, judgmental, mean old crone(for lack of a more profane word) and she obviously had no respect for Elizabeth or any member of her family. I kind of felt sorry for Darcy that she was his aunt but we cannot choose our family.
I adore Judi but cannot agree with you here - Lady Catherine is hilarious in the book, so far up herself she is detached from Earth, like a chilly patch of cloud noodling along unaware of her own littleness and emptiness. She and Mr Collins, deliciously dumb and wrong-headed. Judi plays her more like a good old bulldog, missed the surreality, does not hit the heights of arrogance.
"Heaven and Earth, are the shades of Pemberly to be thus polluted"??? Haha, I just LOVE Judi Dench! Such a great actress! However, Kiera deff holds her own in this scene!
dd inge I love the scene in " Shakespeare in Love" when Her Ladyship Judy Dench alias Queen Elizabeth crosses a muddy puddle on her.leave from the theatre saying, " Too late,gentlemen, too late". Superb
Two lines by Lizzy; 1) How sir!?? Loved the emotion compacted in those two simple monosyllable words. 2) And those are the words of a gentleman.... loved her seething (got in his face) abrasiveness, while also fawning into his eyes; along with the slight breath she takes after saying...’your selfish disdain for the feelings of others’, then smoothly completing her succinctly poignant retort....priceless. The natural flow of such articulations (by today’s standards) is an extinct art form. The writing and delivery of dialogue in this film is exemplary....without parallel today. Seems so real and authentic....like eavesdropping. Fell in love with Ms Knightly after this film...cannot stop gazing at her. Cannot stop watching the film. She is perhaps the sexiest and most attractive anti-voluptuous woman in film! Man oh man....Language can project such depth when wielded artfully, and when the audience is up to the task of comprehending same with little effort. And this is from a man who was raised in a the hood in the Deep South...👍🏽 Great film making artistry.
are you slow?💀 Darcy already proposed and rejected.... you mean he can propose for the 2nd time? Darcy had guts, it was Elizabeth who had no guts to admit her own feeling blinded by her high pride even though she is ugly and poor
She walks in the door like she's just crawled out of a salt mine and Elizabeth sends her right back where she came from 😂😂😂 hahaha I can't stop laughing at this scene xD
This is merely one of the reasons 2005 p&p is my favorite version I've always read lady Katherine as stern dignified unpleasant and rich enough that she doesn't have to Care what others "inferior" to he think Dame Judi Dench brought it to life
Kiera standing her own ground and giving a brilliant performance against Dame Judy was a proof of her exceptional talent. She deserved an oscar for her portrayal of this character
The best thing about Judi Dench's performance is her facial reaction when Elizabeth tells her she can have nothing more to say to her. Even though Lady Catherine is rude, arrogant, and selfish...she's not stupid. While she's taken aback by being spoken to in this way by someone she feels is beneath her, she also knows, girl to girl...that she has crossed the line here. Her remark about never being treated thusly is really just her way of saving face while retreating. I bet she never figured on leaving a commoner's house with her her tail tucked.
lol what a fucking QUEEN. Shows up in the middle of the night, DEMANDS to speak to someone, ORDERS her around and then gets MAD when they kick her out LOL!
I really wish they wouldve kept the “I will make no promise of the kind” when Lady Catherine asked if she would promise not to get engaged with Darcy, feel like it’d show how independant Elizabeth is
Judi Dench was a powerhouse in this scene, one of the best scenes in the film. I can't remember if at this point, Elizabeth knew that Darcy was "correcting his mistakes" and thus declined to say that she would never marry him, or, if she was just standing her ground on the principle of it.
Lady Catherine:: And will you promise never to enter into such an engagement? Elizabeth Bennet:: I will not and I certainly never shall. Lizzie's not promising. So, she will and certainly will enter into such an engagement! 😍
We never got to see Michael Jordan play Kobe Bryant in the NBA finals, but we got to see Kiera Knightly and Judi Dench going toe to toe in a historical fiction.
The 2nd best scene of the movie. The way Lizzie “I am not”. U hear the disappointment in her voice. But the fact she didn’t agree to her terms. Shows that if she was given another chance she would have accepted Darcy proposal.
The most amazing thing to me is how these brilliant actors/actresses were able to remember so much lines that were written in 18th century English, and verbalize them so fast like they did in this movie. Its just amazing to me.
My absolute favorite scene of the movie ♡♥♡ Now whenever I read and get to this part thises scene pops into my head. "You have insulted me in every possible way and can now have nothing more to say. " Going off on Lady Catherine then her mother. Fantastic♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥★☆★☆★
You have a very small garden madame. That line nailed it for me.... The audacity of Lady Catherine.....'the rest of your offspring'...animals have offsprings not humans
I adore Dame Judi when she plays strong authoritarian types - this, as Elizabeth I in Shakespeare in Love, M in the James Bonds, and the no nonsense yet libertine grandmum in Chocolat. Unfortunately when she is paired up with an actress of her age and stature she always plays the younger, more emotional, and "weaker" half. Notice this in Tea with Mussolini, Ladies in Lavender, and the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (1 and 2) when she is paired with Dame Maggie Smith as well as in Cranford when she is with Dame Eileen Atkins. In both cases, Smith and Atkins play the elder half who is more cognitive, assertive and is clearly the "leader" of the pair.
How can one human being be so stuck up and self centered? She has never been thus treated? Somehow I doubt that. Lady Catherine is very rude. I know I’m stating the obvious here. Sorry if it sounds random.
..."You have insulted me in every possible way, and can now have nothing further to say. I must ask you to leave immediately." maaan. what presence of mind!!
+Vinitha Anne Grace Got that right. Lizzie is all about respect shared equally so Katherine got what she gave for the first time in her life.

sayres99 Damn those were some words
Back in those days royalty had so much power.
She was there because she was cowardly, desperate and insecure, and not arrogant. She was basically PLEADING to Elizabeth to not marry Darcy. She was intimidated by the Bennets after learning that Jane was engaged to Bingley.
Look at her retreat after Elizabeth told her to get the hell out of her house.
Just realized that Lizzy not only will be mistress of Pemberley but also Rosings Park since Ann would probably never marry, it'd all go to Darcy. It's likely to make Elizabeth a heiress. Damn Jane, you upgraded our girl.
That's why Lady Catherine is so mad at her : )
I would assume that it would rather go to an heir on the male line. Darcy is the son of Lady Catherine's sister so it seems very unlikely that he will inherit Rosings, even if Ann never has children of her own.
I love that this is what pushes Darcy to go back and propose again, because he realizes that if Lizzy didn't have feelings for him, she would have told Lady Catherine explicitly that the rumors were untrue. Because Lizzy didn't entirely deny it to Lady Catherine, he understands that he still has a chance
“I cannot believe the audacity of that Bennet girl, Darcy! She refused to promise never to marry you!”
Actually, CdB is a bit thick.
CdB: Did my nephew propose to you?
EB:
CdB: Are you engaged to him?
EB: I am not.
CdB wouldn’t _dream_ of the possibility that Darcy proposed and Lizzie turned him down.
I don't have a love life because of this book it put my standards toooo high 😍❤️
Amanda Capstick to seek a partner like Darcy, one has to be like elizabeth first!
kidding....i equally love this movie..cheers!
Amanda Capstick You my friend have my same problem!! And I'm almost 30!!!! 😫
Do you really want some rich man who repeatedly insults you and your family to his friends and behind your back, then falls in love with you but continues to believe you're beneath him, before starting to act somewhat decent once you set him straight, taking it upon himself to salvage a situation by having your little sister married to an awful man he failed to disclose his own past dealings with until it was too late to stop her from succmbing to the words of a scumbag, or save some other young girl from a miserable fate?
Oopss7 You obviously learned nothing from the story.
Saaaaaaammme!
I love how she says "good night" at the end like you can basically feel her saying "get out!"
This is why Judi is one of my all-time favorite actresses. She brings every ounce of raw emotion and authenticity into her performances. Although Keira gave a bloody good performance here also.
One time, my two classmates re-enacted this scene. Really intense.
Cledd Clart i can only imagine lol😂
Would love to see that
Amazing. I wish I had watched them
Would've been really fun to watch!
All this conceived by the brilliant mind of Jane Austen. It's hard not to love her and her writing. I love the acting, music, and cinematography in this film as well.
Judi Dench delivered a masterful portrayal of Lady Catherine in this film and only proved just how talented of an actress she is. Her character was an arrogant, cold-hearted, egotistical, judgmental, mean old crone(for lack of a more profane word) and she obviously had no respect for Elizabeth or any member of her family. I kind of felt sorry for Darcy that she was his aunt but we cannot choose our family.
I adore Judi but cannot agree with you here - Lady Catherine is hilarious in the book, so far up herself she is detached from Earth, like a chilly patch of cloud noodling along unaware of her own littleness and emptiness. She and Mr Collins, deliciously dumb and wrong-headed. Judi plays her more like a good old bulldog, missed the surreality, does not hit the heights of arrogance.
That's absolutely true
"Heaven and Earth, are the shades of Pemberly to be thus polluted"??? Haha, I just LOVE Judi Dench! Such a great actress! However, Kiera deff holds her own in this scene!
dd inge I love the scene in " Shakespeare in Love" when Her Ladyship Judy Dench alias Queen Elizabeth crosses a muddy puddle on her.leave from the theatre saying, " Too late,gentlemen, too late". Superb
"You have a very small garden".
Mrs. Bennet: 💀
Two lines by Lizzy;
1) How sir!?? Loved the emotion compacted in those two simple monosyllable words.
2) And those are the words of a gentleman.... loved her seething (got in his face) abrasiveness, while also fawning into his eyes; along with the slight breath she takes after saying...’your selfish disdain for the feelings of others’, then smoothly completing her succinctly poignant retort....priceless.
The natural flow of such articulations (by today’s standards) is an extinct art form. The writing and delivery of dialogue in this film is exemplary....without parallel today. Seems so real and authentic....like eavesdropping.
Fell in love with Ms Knightly after this film...cannot stop gazing at her. Cannot stop watching the film.
She is perhaps the sexiest and most attractive anti-voluptuous woman in film!
Man oh man....Language can project such depth when wielded artfully, and when the audience is up to the task of comprehending same with little effort.
And this is from a man who was raised in a the hood in the Deep South...👍🏽
Great film making artistry.
Well stated, Sir.
And I am in love with how beautifully you described it all.
The fact that we can thank Lady Catherine for giving Darcy the guts to propose to Elizabeth. She’s actually was the major matchmaker of the film
😂 - the girl who she condescendingly told to come back and play the piano forte in the guest room will one day own her mansion. Oh, the irony.
are you slow?💀 Darcy already proposed and rejected.... you mean he can propose for the 2nd time? Darcy had guts, it was Elizabeth who had no guts to admit her own feeling blinded by her high pride even though she is ugly and poor
Mr Bennett's face when she turns down his cup of tea always makes me laugh. His expression is like ''This b**ch!''.
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
She walks in the door like she's just crawled out of a salt mine and Elizabeth sends her right back where she came from 😂😂😂 hahaha I can't stop laughing at this scene xD
"You have a very small garden, madam" still cracks me up, this scene is just full of shade :D
"For
once
in
your
life
leave
me
alone!!"
"Heaven and earth, are the shades of Pemberly to be thus polluted?!" My favorote line of this entire scene!
This is merely one of the reasons 2005 p&p is my favorite version I've always read lady Katherine as stern dignified unpleasant and rich enough that she doesn't have to Care what others "inferior" to he think Dame Judi Dench brought it to life
Kiera standing her own ground and giving a brilliant performance against Dame Judy was a proof of her exceptional talent. She deserved an oscar for her portrayal of this character
I would have answered, “not yet” just to see that lady’s reaction. I love messing with people like that.
Overused Joke but, Damn Judi Dench !! She absolutely killed it
I love her acting (Judi Dench) is just amazing. I could sit and watch her films all day.
She's a stone cold chiller when she must be. But at other times she's warm and sweet. And she can do everything in between. A rare bird Dame Judy is.
+kroakie4 I agree.
The best thing about Judi Dench's performance is her facial reaction when Elizabeth tells her she can have nothing more to say to her. Even though Lady Catherine is rude, arrogant, and selfish...she's not stupid. While she's taken aback by being spoken to in this way by someone she feels is beneath her, she also knows, girl to girl...that she has crossed the line here. Her remark about never being treated thusly is really just her way of saving face while retreating. I bet she never figured on leaving a commoner's house with her her tail tucked.
Her delivery of "for once in your life, leave me alone" is my fave
I must have been a Brit in a previous life because I just love the way they talk.
"Industriously circulated." I must use this soon.
prisylovemty20 ikr!
I love watching this movie and this is a favored scene.
I always feel so good for Lizzie when she puts the countess in her place!
She is calling her a selfish yet not even giving Liz the chance to answer. The nerve of some people
I love how she doesn't promise not to get ingaged to him, even though he is 'the last man I would be provailed upon to marry', Love It!
brilliant scene
can I offer you a cup of tea no
you have a small garden
sally smith if she arrived at night, was she really in a position to comment on the garden. (The folly of deviating from the original narrative!)
@@hedfan Exactly! It makes such a statement ridiculous. I've no idea why they decided to set this scene during the night?
I love this line. I could use this anywhere: "Heaven on Earth, Are the shades of ____(insert place here)____ thus polluted?
“To be”...
@@Alusnovalotus "Pemberley to be"
You have to love the image of Kiera Knightly squaring up to Judy Drench and taking her down with just words.
One of my favorite scenes ... Lady Catherine:: I warn you, I am not to be trifled with. 2015 translation: Don't fuck with me! Hahahaha...LOL
"I do not pretend to possess equal frankness with your ladyship. You may ask a question which I may choose not to answer." DAAAAAMMMMNNNNN
One of the most powerful scenes for these great actresses!
lol what a fucking QUEEN. Shows up in the middle of the night, DEMANDS to speak to someone, ORDERS her around and then gets MAD when they kick her out LOL!
Squizree LOL yes
I really wish they wouldve kept the “I will make no promise of the kind” when Lady Catherine asked if she would promise not to get engaged with Darcy, feel like it’d show how independant Elizabeth is
To this day my mind still rings with Lady Catherine saying "in a scandalously PATCHED UP marriage!"
Great script and actresses! I chuckle that her family was listening at the door.
"Piss off you old bag!", but said with ironic subtlety. And the lovely dog agreed!
Judi Dench was a powerhouse in this scene, one of the best scenes in the film. I can't remember if at this point, Elizabeth knew that Darcy was "correcting his mistakes" and thus declined to say that she would never marry him, or, if she was just standing her ground on the principle of it.
Judi Dench is at her best here. Just so much expression in her voice. Never fails to amaze me
Lady Catherine:: And will you promise never to enter into such an engagement?
Elizabeth Bennet:: I will not and I certainly never shall.
Lizzie's not promising. So, she will and certainly will enter into such an engagement! 😍
Seem to remember that Elizabeth also 'promised' never to dance with Darcy! Lol
To me, this version of P&P beats the PBS ones hands down.
Judi Dench was PERFECT for the role of that witch. Spot on performance
"Good evening Lady Catherine - How are you tonight?"
Ignore question and remark "You have a very small garden, madam"
"I have never been this treated in my entire life!"
"You are welcome!"
even in her nightgown Elizabeth's dignity surpasses Lady Catherine's
In the book I don't think she was....quite.....this horrible.
I just love how Lady Catherine is lit in this scene.. Half of her face is shadowed like she's the villain in this scene, which she is in a way.
We never got to see Michael Jordan play Kobe Bryant in the NBA finals, but we got to see Kiera Knightly and Judi Dench going toe to toe in a historical fiction.
She didn’t let Lady Catherine’s higher standing intimidate her into submission. You go, girl.
The 2nd best scene of the movie. The way Lizzie “I am not”. U hear the disappointment in her voice. But the fact she didn’t agree to her terms. Shows that if she was given another chance she would have accepted Darcy proposal.
Why does anyone speak to anyone alone in this movie when they all listen at the door anyway?
The most amazing thing to me is how these brilliant actors/actresses were able to remember so much lines that were written in 18th century English, and verbalize them so fast like they did in this movie. Its just amazing to me.
superb writing flawless performances!
My absolute favorite scene of the movie ♡♥♡ Now whenever I read and get to this part thises scene pops into my head.
"You have insulted me in every possible way and can now have nothing more to say. "
Going off on Lady Catherine then her mother. Fantastic♡♥♡♥♡♥♡♥★☆★☆★
Nothing further to say . :)
You have a very small garden madame. That line nailed it for me.... The audacity of Lady Catherine.....'the rest of your offspring'...animals have offsprings not humans
Last sentence sounds so familiar 😁
I just love it how she's said that 🤣
Lizzy being savage even before being savage was a thing 😎
What does she mean about the garden's size? Calling them poor?
I adore Dame Judi when she plays strong authoritarian types - this, as Elizabeth I in Shakespeare in Love, M in the James Bonds, and the no nonsense yet libertine grandmum in Chocolat. Unfortunately when she is paired up with an actress of her age and stature she always plays the younger, more emotional, and "weaker" half. Notice this in Tea with Mussolini, Ladies in Lavender, and the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (1 and 2) when she is paired with Dame Maggie Smith as well as in Cranford when she is with Dame Eileen Atkins. In both cases, Smith and Atkins play the elder half who is more cognitive, assertive and is clearly the "leader" of the pair.
Judi Dench is wonderful. So wonderful that I can't dislike her even as Lady Catherine.
You have a very small garden madam. Lol this line always make me cackle. This old bat 😂😂
“Industriously circulated”
Love that phrase ❤
Dame Judi Dench being Dame Judi Dench. Absolutely regal and exquisite 👌🏼
How can one human being be so stuck up and self centered? She has never been thus treated? Somehow I doubt that. Lady Catherine is very rude. I know I’m stating the obvious here. Sorry if it sounds random.
Even though they both played their parts in an excellent way, I really prefer the BBC version because it is exactly like the book.
