Do let me ask my partner to introduce you.”_ _“Which do you mean?” and turning round, he looked for a moment at Elizabeth, till, catching her eye, he withdrew his own, and coldly said, “She is tolerable: but not handsome enough to tempt me; and I am in no humour at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men. You had better return to your partner and enjoy her smiles, for you are wasting your time with me.”_ _Mr. Bingley followed his advice.

I had not seen these early ones or the foreign ones but they are good. I know 95's by heart and love it. The latest one interesting for it had them walking as they talked. And Lizzy and Charlotte were sitting under a bleacher. I loved that in this one there were lots of dancers. It was a community ball and most of the community was there. Thanks for posting.
It is funny how none of the adaptations does justice to Darcy's sentence: "You know how I detest it, unless I am particularly acquainted with my partner." He simply doesn't enjoy the idea of dancing with total strangers, which says a lot about his character.
lt's interesting that in the earlier versions Elizabeth is outraged by Darcy's remarks, whilst in the last two she treats them with little respect and is far closer to the Elizabeth in the book.
Oh yes, the last two are not angry but just giving him some despise vibes, like she doesn't care about his opinion and even think it's funny... I think that would hurt a lot more for a man's ego.
Say what you want about accuracy but the 2005 film was a work of art and the only adaptation I can rewatch consistently. The colour palette, the music, the acting, the CINEMATOGRAPHY ugh I could write essays on that movie and Joe Wright as a director in general.
1995 is the only one that actually keeps Elizabeth's reaction. Her reaction to Darcy's slight is to laugh at him. This does a lot to help the audience understand her character, and sets the tone for her dynamic with Darcy. I don't understand why no other version kept it.
The Italian Mr Darcy straight up turning and saying the line almost directly to Elizabeth is killing me lmao I love the detail in the 1995 of Elizabeth purposefully walking past him and talking to Charlotte, and Darcy’s face as he realizes she overheard him
1995 version is by far, my favorite. When Lizzie overhears Darcy and Bingley talking about her, I think her reaction is the best. Walking by Darcy, subtly letting him know she heard him and isn’t bothered and to top it off, talks about what she overheard with Charlotte, essentially laughing at him (or at least, making him wonder if they really are laughing at him). All the little moments like this make me love this version more and more each time I watch it. 2005 takes everything to the extreme, which in some ways bugs me. I admit it’s easier for one to tell that there is a distinct class difference between Darcy and the Bennetts, but in reality, the Bennetts were not as poor as this version makes them out to be. They were going to struggle financially after Mr Bennett would pass away, but they were able to wear nice clothes that period accurate, but they just weren’t as lavish and fashionably up to date like Darcy and the Bingleys. I think the “these are country bumpkins” is a little too much and in your face, but I get why they wanted to portray it as such. I do, however, like the liveliness and crowded feeling at this dance, which the latter I feel was definitely accurate in a lot of dance halls, and I do like Lizzie’s reaction to overhearing Darcy and Bingley. She gives off this nonchalant, I don’t care vibe, like 1995 Lizzie, but handles it differently and I think it’s an appropriate reaction for her as well as 1995’s Lizzie
I actually like the 2005 but I prefer th 1995 as well. The "dirty vibe" in every shot of the 2005 one puts me off, like they didn't clean the houses, everyone smelled funny, and so. Portraing the Bennets almost as the english hillbillys wasn't the greatest choice either. And the hair and dresses! Of all the movie only a bunch or people are kind of "regency appropiate"; I will never understand the Hollywood mania of not doing proper hairstyles, or putting people over 35 in clothes from 40 years ago, as if age made you lose your sense of aesthetics and taste for fashion. The 1995 one does do well with Lady Katherine and Mrs. Bennet in that sense.
@@LadyOndyne I saw a clip before where they said the reason why Elizabeth's updo is a little more modern to make her stand out from the rest of the cast, to portray her as a bit different and 'progressive'(lacking a better term). And this was also a choice made to make her more relatable to the viewers. About the way why their house is kept in that state, the director made it the way it is because they wanted you to feel homey. If I remember it right, I think they wanted it to really look like a 'real life' house. Cause when I watch 1995 (which I absolutely love rewatching), it does feel like a set. But when I watch the 2005, their house feels like home. It feels alive. But which ever one, they're both great.
@@LadyOndyne Yeah, the greatest assets of 2005 version are stunning pictures and beautiful music. But clothes, hair, behaviour, acting choices... Darcy is nothing like Darcy, Lizzy is nothing like Lizzy. (Although I liked Lady Catherine). Well, it is not a good adaptation at all. It's shallow and unnecessarily modernized. 1995 version is just perfect.
I think each version has its own interesting features. But my favorite version is 1995. Watching it, I had the same feelings as reading the book. In my opinion, this version best conveys the atmosphere of the book.
When you compare all versions it's clear that BBC 1995 is the best one. Both according to acting and costumes/hairstyles. I really love Jennifer Ehle's Lizzie.
Yeah, not just Bingley, but I feel like Darcy was made way too spiteful in that version of the scene. In the book, Darcy is an introvert at a party of extroverts who for the most part have all agreed he is a proud snob because he isn't as social as they are. Darcy is drained of energy and upset because he's out of his comfort zone and being judged severely for not matching the mood. Bingley asking him to dance is basically his final straw. After having all these strangers telling him to lighten up, his best friend (the one person at the party who actually does know what kind of person Darcy is) asking the same thing of him makes him snap. Any other day Bingley may have left Darcy alone, knowing how apprehensive these kind of situations make Darcy, but he's so giddy and spellbound from meeting Jane that he's oblivious to his friend's discomfort. Darcy's upset that Bingely's euphoria has made him as pushy as all the other party goers when usually Bingley could be trusted as his closest confidant. Darcy utters such harsh comments because his frustration has reached it boiling point. It's not about him finding Elizabeth unattractive, I doubt he even looked at her much since he was trying his best to stay in the corner and keep his head down, he's just trying to express his frustration with the whole party in general. (it doesn't make what he says right but as an introvert myself I can at least sympathize with his anxiety.) In this version, not only does Darcy seemed to genuinely find Elizabeth unattractive, he seems to almost take sadistic glee in describing her "ugliness."
Overall, I love 1995 best but the 2005 initial party scene here helps make Darcy and Caroline's snobbery more understandable. Also, Rosamunde Pike is an exquisite, unbeatable Jane.
the 2005 version did a great job at casting the other characters. mr bingley, caroline, jane, kitty, lydia, catherine de borg, and my favorite of all, mrs bennett. even mr collins, although he didnt match the book physically, the personality was pretty spot on. overall, i liked the 2005 casting a lot.
Closer to the book (of the encounter) as well. The 1995 version also got Lizzie's "lively, playful disposition" in reacting after the initial hurt. Makes me want to watch the entire mini-series again!
The most believable and enjoyable was 1995... 2005 was cinematically more stunning (I love the estate tour) and the 2005 soundtrack is stunning... But 1995 remains my favorite❤❤❤
I think some of the scenes are a little contrived. The scene in the pouring rain gives off 4 wedding vibes. Is it raining..? I hadn't noticed. Austen's writing doesn't need all those extra dramatic touches. It's 1995 for me every time.
its a gorgeous film, absolutely stunning to watch over and over again. the drama just makes everything feel more intense for me, as though i were really there experiencing it.
Firth is a lovely actor. He isn't my Darcy, however: I tend to agree with my father's opinion, when we watched the mini-series together: "he is grumpy," my father commented. My Darcy is Olivier; and, though I commit blasphemy, the 1940 version, though the furthest from Austen, has always been the one I love most. The connection and tiny bits of by-play between the actors is lovely; Mary Boland and Edmund Gwenn give me layers of relationship as well as wit in that important opening scene at Longbourne; Frieda Inescourt is such a perfect, such a naturally-disdainful and graceful Caroline Bingley; and for me, Melville Cooper is a perfect Mr. Collins, from his fiddly mannerisms to the funny little musical motif that's given to him. None of the other versions I've seen have, for me, that particular quality of grace and humor and sense of knowing and living together.
Except for Matthew MacFadyen. Honestly, the two (Colin Firth and MM) are the two most handsome and most haughty of all. And I suppose, if I had seen that version first, I might agree.
I always loved the 2005 adaptation for its cinematography, the colors, the music...everything was perfect. I would love to see a remake mini-series with that sort of cinematography. The mini-series from 1995 did it so well but I never get tired of remakes.
The 1995 Version was far superior to all the rest the cast was perfect. I have read the book and this version is spot on. Colin Firth was the best Darcy.
And the way Mr. Bingley's eyes spark and the emotion talking about Jane?! Why nobody talks about it? I love the chemistry of those two. Also, Jane is EXACTLY the beauty standard of the era, seeing the portraits of the Regency period they casted the girl to a T. She has that ancient beauty, the softness, the round face and yielding neck, the ethereal gaze... this series is PERFECTION!!!
I prefer the 2005 version. Matthew Macfayden has a depth of emotion and does more with a single look or word than was accomplished in any other version. It's truly a consummate performance.
I swooned when he declared his love for Lizzie..." I love love love you" whoooooh My favorites are th 1980 version and 2005 Firth is marvelous too, but MacFayden made my heart go pittypat.
I really thought his performance in P&P was one of his best! Glad to see him getting so much recognition now in Succession because his range is incredible! He brings such vulnerability to Darcy that the others simply hadn't done.
2005 has a heavier mood than I imagine Austen aspired to create. That said, I am fine with the 2005 "she is tolerable" scene. The 1995 version is the most enjoyable to me. Lizzy passing Darcy by with her "I don't give a sh** what you just said about me" smile then retelling the tale of Darcy's rude slight to her best friend on her own terms and looking his direction, don't we all wish we could do that instead of withdrawing? I will always hold that in my heart as sublime presence of mind. Additionally the 1995 scene really helped us see Darcy "notice" Lizzy and moved the story along with ease. I have to admit there is no direction in the book on this scene the 2005 version would be a more likely scenario Lizzy is witty and strong but also human and Darcy insulted her and she would feel the slight, most people would not be able to recover so well as in the 1995 version - but oooh I can dream! And Thank-you for the comparison video
Remember. Whether you are pretty or not is a matter of taste. In your eyes, the actress playing Jane is not pretty. It's okay to think that way, but making it a munus point of the crew is.... You know that your personal taste in beauty doesn't define what beauty is, right? @@carmenl163
That's what I mean. We all have such different tastes. Susannah Harker is not really my taste, but I always knew there were people who would find her absolutely stunning. My taste is more Grace Kelly or Vivien Leigh. I also think Jennifer Ehle is much prettier than Jane's actress, but to each their own.@@_peasant6317_
What a cool compilation. I did not know there had been a Dutch version. Darcy and Bingley seem quite funny. Hilarious to hear the way they have translated it in what now sounds like very oldfasioned Dutch.
@@lydia397lol they don't stop zinging. It is like an overworked Wim Sonneveld sketch XD. I miss the nice pronounced r though, haverhmjelk elite couldn't for their lives.
There’s only one version for me that does the deeper layers, the subtlety and the humour of the book credit: 1995. Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle were absolutely perfect as Elizabeth and Darcy. But the entire cast was very strong.
My two favorites are the 1995 and 2005 versions. I own both of them and have re-watched them so many times I lost track lol. I lean more toward loving the 2005 version just slightly more even if the 1995 version is more accurate with the book.
same, both are the ultimately superior versions compared to everything else, and 1995 is most accurate to the book but the film, ugh the film is so beautiful it wins me over every time
IMHO. It's not too accurate. I adore Colin Firth, but recently read the book and Darcy Does Smile quite often. I love ferocious Nightly's Lizzy a lot. 😅
1995 costumes are most accurate. 2005 most accurate in terms of location & realism. 2005 has the most realistic reaction from Lizzie. 1980 had gorgeous costumes too. 1940 Mr Darcy is so handsome. 1995 & 2005 Mr Darcys are both swoon-worthy.
Interesting that you noticed that. I've always had a strong dislike of the 1940 version. I read somewhere that the studio spent so much money making Gone With the Wind that they were forced to recycle costumes and film in black & white.. Costumes were horrible. IMO another huge mistake was casting Greer Garson as Elizabeth Bennett. A 36 year old woman trying to convince us that she 's 20?
It's funny how Jennifer Ehle looks and acts quite a bit like Greer Garson. But Jennifer Ehle was by far the best performance of all of them and most true to the book.
I found her way too subdued compared to how Lizzie is described in the book, and Jane in this version is incredibly insipid. The end scene where Lizzie and Darcy walk together seems quite passionless. A little more energy and it would have been great.
@@adrianaloborec2205 I also think she was a little bit too subdued. I think a mix of Keira (who was a bit too giggly at times?) and Jennifer would have been perfect!
@adrianaloborec2205 I disagree entirely. In the book we see a lot of Elizabeth’s internal dialogue which is obviously going to be more extreme than how she behaves outwardly. Ehle did a great job of hinting at those rebellious thoughts and feelings while outwardly acting proper and polite, rather than just being overtly snarky. It works way better.
@@MissCaraMintI agree with you on Ehle’s portrayal of Lizzie. Her little reactions here and there show how mischievous and rebellious her inner thoughts are. And she is shown to be a mature young lady, she ought to act like one. So Ehle acted her perfectly. Love the 1995 series to death!
1995 my favourite. Despite Laurence Olivier that version turned into some kind of American civil war version costumes completely wrong. Loved the elegant Italian version
I think I am one of the few ones who didn't enjoy the 1995 version except for Colin's interpretation of Darcy. My all time favourite is the 2005 version. The entire cast on the whole is better than in any other adaptation imo ❤
I share the same thoughts! I never get tired of watching the 2005 version, while i only saw once the 1995 vs and i don't feel the desire to ever watch ot again. Even though i love Colin ❤
I appreciate the 1995 one, but the 2005 one is my favorite. Mostly because it's more beautiful to look at and uses the visual nature of the medium to its advantage. I generally don't care whether an adaptation is accurate, as long as any changes made still make sense in the context of the story. But if you're just going to make a film exactly like the book... why not just read the book?
1995 version was a masterpiece. Who could better Colin Firth as Darcy! However, the 1980 version was excellent. Elizabeth Garvie made a delightful Lizzie Bennet.
i had no clue they'd made adaptations in other languages!! that was so neat. i do think that it's helped as technology has progressed to allow for more subtle expression and acting, but also i grew up on the 1995 version so it's The One for me
Nessun problema. È un piacere. 🙂Dopo la tragica perdita del canale, sto creando ancora una volta questi collage. (Purtroppo non avevo una copia dei collage precedenti che andarono perduti. 🙁)
I like the 2005 version best. I prefer Kiera over the actress in the 1995 Colin Firth version. I also love Lizzie’s line “dancing, even if one’s partner is barely tolerable”. It’s not in the book but I think it’s a great addition and it shows Darcy she heard him speak rudely about her, i think it also shows a little bit more about why he fell in love with her-her spirit
I watched most of these different versions of the movie. I honestly could and have rewatched the 2005 rendition many times. I feel it's the sweetest and purist. I love the 2005 the best.😊
1980 had the most age-appropriate cast-I loved that Lizzie and Darcy, and particularly loved Lady Catherine and Mr. collins in that version and thought that Jane was the prettiest and sweetest actress to play that role. Having said that, Colin Firth was a devastating Darcy and I liked Jennifer Elle’s Elizabeth very much. The 2005 version might as well have been a different story since it strayed so far from the book, even though Mathew McFayden is a wonderful actor. Yeah, I probably spelled his name wrong… 😅
It's quite surprising how a tv adaptation can have such a long lasting effect, like the 1995 version. I like its static style of filming (though this has more to do with "tv" style than pure artistic choice, but it kind of fits the stlye of the era) and its sense of humor. I love the Bennett parents, Mr. Collins, Charlotte and Lady Catherine de Bourgh in that version, too, not just Lizzie and Mr Darcy. The cinematorgaphy of the the 2005 is of course much better than any of the others, and that's understandable. It's not a tv version and the technology itself devoloped a lot in the 90s. But I just don1t understand some of the scenes in the movie version. Why the big proposal-refusal scene was shot outside in the rain? That alone was a bit too much and that's a central scene in the story...
It's even more striking what a masterpiece the 2005 version is when you've got them all lined up this way. So much more natural, realistic, and relatable.
Yeah, it's a bland version saved by a huge budget and sumptuous visuals. Do it on a BBC budget and much less people would be enamoured with it.@@filuska
True. Mathew macfayden's Darcy is the most Romantic of them all and the 2005 versions cinematography and music is unmatched. I prefer the 2005 version much better.
Thank you for sharing and putting together all these compare & contrasts of Austen's adapted works. I have found the older I get, the more I like how other adaptations do Austen's works, even if they give different approaches. I often get curious to see if they will keep to the essence of the novels and more. The 1940 version is a guilty pleasure for me while it's fun to see how the Dutch and Italians approached the works. 1967 is a good early version and I am personally fond of 1980, 1995, and 2005. While all versions capture the feel of the book for this scene, I like the different directions: 1940, 1957, 1961: Lizzie openly not having any of Darcy's slights 1957: Darcy's delivery of the slight is a lot harsher 1961: Darcy's delivery of the slight is less harsh then 1957 but still stings 1967, 1980, 1995, 2005: More accurate to the book in which Lizzie is offended but handles it more maturely by laughing/smiling it off
There are elements I like from 1995 and 2005. I wish we could have a remake that combines them. 2005 was a better cast overall, and the humanity and expression of the characters was much more relatable. But while I like the intensity and tension of 2005's Mr. Darcy, I do feel Colin Firth was the better actor. Matthew McFayden delivered his lines a bit flat - moreso than the character deserved, in my opinion. Also, I prefer the nuances of costume that the 2005 version gave ... with Mrs. Bennett being slightly behind the fashion as many older women are, and the transitional clothing of the Bennett girls in comparison to the latest fashions of Miss Bingley. All of those things ring true with Meryton being a country town and the Bennetts only modestly well to do with five girls to clothe, all while Darcy and the Bingleys traveled in wealthier, more chic circles.
In my opinion Colin Firth is the ONLY actor able to portray Darcy with as much careless arrogance and believability as Laurence Olivier. He is also very handsome. While the assembly ball may have been historically accurate, I was shocked by how seedy and impoverished it all looked - costumes, setting, people.
The 1980 Elizabeth Benett best captures the essence of the character. Her eyes, her eyes talk. 1995 and 2005 editions are both fine! Funny how the Italian Elizabeth has a fiery Italian temper
Among the non-English versions, there was a Spanish TV adaptation from 1966 as well - _Orgullo y prejuicio._ However no prints are believed to exist and the series is considered lost.
I'm not going to argue on the costume, just the tone. Am I the only that feels the 2005 has more of a "gothic" or "Romantic/Wuthering Heights-y" feel than an Austenian feel?
what i really like watching this version is the talk between darcy and wickham about him marrying lydia, anyhow, i think that ramses shaffy did a very good darcy.... i liked him. 🙂
I actually thought it was quite good. It came across natural and spontaneous with the actors sometimes talking over each other. And Ramses Shaffy was a very handsome man 😊
The best Elizabeth: 1980. She's a perfect match for the character I have in my head when I read the novel. The best Darcy: 1995. It's Colin Firth. I don't think I need to explain.
In the 1980 version you can see that why Sabina Franklyn's Jane is considered prettier than Lizzie. Not so in the other versions. David Rintoul physically looks the part of the 'great tall fellow' that Bingley describes, but his acting is wooden compared with Firth.

But when I watch the 2005, their house feels like home. It feels alive.
But which ever one, they're both great.
@@kvitka1991yes, that was too much. And going to a date with Mr.Darsy in underwear at dawn? 🫣
I think, 2005 version is very primitive
@@LadyOndyne Yeah, the greatest assets of 2005 version are stunning pictures and beautiful music. But clothes, hair, behaviour, acting choices... Darcy is nothing like Darcy, Lizzy is nothing like Lizzy. (Although I liked Lady Catherine). Well, it is not a good adaptation at all. It's shallow and unnecessarily modernized. 1995 version is just perfect.
I think each version has its own interesting features. But my favorite version is 1995. Watching it, I had the same feelings as reading the book. In my opinion, this version best conveys the atmosphere of the book.
For reallll
When you compare all versions it's clear that BBC 1995 is the best one. Both according to acting and costumes/hairstyles.
I really love Jennifer Ehle's Lizzie.
Young Sir Laurence Olivier in first. Comparing past version is apples to fish. Respect the art. Common sense.
She is perfect in that role.
yes shes so gorgeous and a great actor
I totally agree
My fav is deffs 2005. Love both but I just love the magic in the 2005 adaptation, I appreciate that it’s different but still faithful
I love how Dutch Elizabeth seems about ready to throw hands when Bingley asks Darcy to dance with her as a favour.
So was I, he was just so rude. More so then in some of the other versions.
he was fuckboy darcy
Yeah, not just Bingley, but I feel like Darcy was made way too spiteful in that version of the scene.
In the book, Darcy is an introvert at a party of extroverts who for the most part have all agreed he is a proud snob because he isn't as social as they are. Darcy is drained of energy and upset because he's out of his comfort zone and being judged severely for not matching the mood. Bingley asking him to dance is basically his final straw. After having all these strangers telling him to lighten up, his best friend (the one person at the party who actually does know what kind of person Darcy is) asking the same thing of him makes him snap. Any other day Bingley may have left Darcy alone, knowing how apprehensive these kind of situations make Darcy, but he's so giddy and spellbound from meeting Jane that he's oblivious to his friend's discomfort. Darcy's upset that Bingely's euphoria has made him as pushy as all the other party goers when usually Bingley could be trusted as his closest confidant. Darcy utters such harsh comments because his frustration has reached it boiling point. It's not about him finding Elizabeth unattractive, I doubt he even looked at her much since he was trying his best to stay in the corner and keep his head down, he's just trying to express his frustration with the whole party in general. (it doesn't make what he says right but as an introvert myself I can at least sympathize with his anxiety.)
In this version, not only does Darcy seemed to genuinely find Elizabeth unattractive, he seems to almost take sadistic glee in describing her "ugliness."
Overall, I love 1995 best but the 2005 initial party scene here helps make Darcy and Caroline's snobbery more understandable. Also, Rosamunde Pike is an exquisite, unbeatable Jane.
2005 is considered by many to be the most authentic version of an assembly ball put on film.
the 2005 version did a great job at casting the other characters. mr bingley, caroline, jane, kitty, lydia, catherine de borg, and my favorite of all, mrs bennett. even mr collins, although he didnt match the book physically, the personality was pretty spot on. overall, i liked the 2005 casting a lot.
The ball in 2005 was the only one that actually looked kind of fun to be at lmao
They got the costumes wrong in the earlier versions..1995 is without the best version...still wonderful to watch...
Oh, yes. Those Civil War leftovers from Gone With the Wind, just screamed the wrong decade.
Closer to the book (of the encounter) as well. The 1995 version also got Lizzie's "lively, playful disposition" in reacting after the initial hurt. Makes me want to watch the entire mini-series again!
The first actress was way too old.
Agree, 1995 is the best version.
Agreed.
i was not prepared for dutch lizzie to call for the guillotine i died laughing. that's a version worth watching
The 1995 version is my favorite and IMO the best in almost every way, but the 1980 actors for Darcy and Elizabeth were the GOATs for those roles.
The most believable and enjoyable was 1995... 2005 was cinematically more stunning (I love the estate tour) and the 2005 soundtrack is stunning... But 1995 remains my favorite❤❤❤
Say what you want about the story and accuracy, the cinematography of the 2005 version is completly unmatched. Every scene is visually stunning
I think some of the scenes are a little contrived. The scene in the pouring rain gives off 4 wedding vibes. Is it raining..? I hadn't noticed. Austen's writing doesn't need all those extra dramatic touches. It's 1995 for me every time.
@@Cleow33 Agree
its a gorgeous film, absolutely stunning to watch over and over again. the drama just makes everything feel more intense for me, as though i were really there experiencing it.
Yes, the cinematography is brilliant. EVERYTHING else is wrong. It simply isn't Jane Austen's P&P.
Perfectly said :) @@bonniecarlson608
1980 miniseries is criminally underrated. '95 is good too, but I prefer the '80 one.
NO-ONE can improve upon Colin Firth as Mr.Darcy! 😍 (1995)
Firth is a lovely actor. He isn't my Darcy, however: I tend to agree with my father's opinion, when we watched the mini-series together: "he is grumpy," my father commented. My Darcy is Olivier; and, though I commit blasphemy, the 1940 version, though the furthest from Austen, has always been the one I love most. The connection and tiny bits of by-play between the actors is lovely; Mary Boland and Edmund Gwenn give me layers of relationship as well as wit in that important opening scene at Longbourne; Frieda Inescourt is such a perfect, such a naturally-disdainful and graceful Caroline Bingley; and for me, Melville Cooper is a perfect Mr. Collins, from his fiddly mannerisms to the funny little musical motif that's given to him. None of the other versions I've seen have, for me, that particular quality of grace and humor and sense of knowing and living together.
That is my opinion as well.
Hear hear.
@@melenatorr Oliver was too staid
Except for Matthew MacFadyen. Honestly, the two (Colin Firth and MM) are the two most handsome and most haughty of all. And I suppose, if I had seen that version first, I might agree.
For me both 1995 and 2005 is a tie. I could watch both of them on repeat many, many times (and I tell you I have)
I always loved the 2005 adaptation for its cinematography, the colors, the music...everything was perfect. I would love to see a remake mini-series with that sort of cinematography. The mini-series from 1995 did it so well but I never get tired of remakes.
Agreed!💕
Agree on the music and the cinematography. It just draws you in
The 1995 Version was far superior to all the rest the cast was perfect. I have read the book and this version is spot on. Colin Firth was the best Darcy.
Absolutely. He brought the reserved, confident and judgement subtly the role required. The first time Lizzy rejects him is the first time it falters.
I prefer the 1980 version .
And the way Mr. Bingley's eyes spark and the emotion talking about Jane?! Why nobody talks about it? I love the chemistry of those two.
Also, Jane is EXACTLY the beauty standard of the era, seeing the portraits of the Regency period they casted the girl to a T. She has that ancient beauty, the softness, the round face and yielding neck, the ethereal gaze... this series is PERFECTION!!!
@@LadyOndyneI agree, and the strangest thing is that the actresses who play Lizzy and Jane actually look like sisters!
And Jennifer Ehle is the best Elizabeth ever
In my eyes, the 1995 version remains unsurpassed.
Totally agree.
The 1995 version is the BEST one.
True!
The most faithful to the book ❤
1995 is a MASTERPIECE!
I like Austen movies to follow the books closely. 1995 is by far my favorite.
I prefer the 2005 version. Matthew Macfayden has a depth of emotion and does more with a single look or word than was accomplished in any other version. It's truly a consummate performance.
I swooned when he declared his love for Lizzie..." I love love love you" whoooooh My favorites are th 1980 version and 2005 Firth is marvelous too, but MacFayden made my heart go pittypat.
That summerhouse scene...man oh man, talk about UST.
I really thought his performance in P&P was one of his best! Glad to see him getting so much recognition now in Succession because his range is incredible! He brings such vulnerability to Darcy that the others simply hadn't done.
I've never cared for the 2005 version for many reasons, however MM was NOT one of them. Really liked his portrayal of Darcy.
He's too wimpy to do much for me romantically, but it's an interesting and different take on the character and I like him at that level.
2005 has a heavier mood than I imagine Austen aspired to create. That said, I am fine with the 2005 "she is tolerable" scene. The 1995 version is the most enjoyable to me. Lizzy passing Darcy by with her "I don't give a sh** what you just said about me" smile then retelling the tale of Darcy's rude slight to her best friend on her own terms and looking his direction, don't we all wish we could do that instead of withdrawing? I will always hold that in my heart as sublime presence of mind. Additionally the 1995 scene really helped us see Darcy "notice" Lizzy and moved the story along with ease. I have to admit there is no direction in the book on this scene the 2005 version would be a more likely scenario Lizzy is witty and strong but also human and Darcy insulted her and she would feel the slight, most people would not be able to recover so well as in the 1995 version - but oooh I can dream! And Thank-you for the comparison video
BBC 1995 version is by far the best. The entire cast was excellent ❤
Not the entire cast. Jane wasn't very pretty and Lydia was far too old.
Remember. Whether you are pretty or not is a matter of taste. In your eyes, the actress playing Jane is not pretty. It's okay to think that way, but making it a munus point of the crew is....
You know that your personal taste in beauty doesn't define what beauty is, right? @@carmenl163
Jane not very pretty?? She's absolutely stunning
That's what I mean. We all have such different tastes. Susannah Harker is not really my taste, but I always knew there were people who would find her absolutely stunning. My taste is more Grace Kelly or Vivien Leigh. I also think Jennifer Ehle is much prettier than Jane's actress, but to each their own.@@_peasant6317_
@@carmenl163the actress may not fit today's beauty standards but if you look at paintings from that time you will notice she fits the standards
What a brilliant collection. Great to see different decades and different countries.
I really love the Darcy and Lizzie in the 1980 version. Although 1995 holds a special place in my heart.💗💗
What a cool compilation. I did not know there had been a Dutch version. Darcy and Bingley seem quite funny. Hilarious to hear the way they have translated it in what now sounds like very oldfasioned Dutch.
And the Dutch version has a lot of zingers. I totally understand why Elizabeth would be offended by their conversation 😅
@@lydia397lol they don't stop zinging. It is like an overworked Wim Sonneveld sketch XD. I miss the nice pronounced r though, haverhmjelk elite couldn't for their lives.
My favourite version is 2005 one ❤!!
💕
There’s only one version for me that does the deeper layers, the subtlety and the humour of the book credit: 1995. Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle were absolutely perfect as Elizabeth and Darcy. But the entire cast was very strong.
My two favorites are the 1995 and 2005 versions. I own both of them and have re-watched them so many times I lost track lol. I lean more toward loving the 2005 version just slightly more even if the 1995 version is more accurate with the book.
i feel the exact same way dude
same, both are the ultimately superior versions compared to everything else, and 1995 is most accurate to the book but the film, ugh the film is so beautiful it wins me over every time
I completely agree
IMHO. It's not too accurate. I adore Colin Firth, but recently read the book and Darcy Does Smile quite often. I love ferocious Nightly's Lizzy a lot. 😅
I Don’t like the 2005 at all, I think that the actors are awful!!
In the 2005 version, the joy in the room is real and palpable. Every other version seems so stuffy. 2005's makes me want to dance too!
An excellent compilation. Very delightful to see the progression through time. Thank you for the enjoyment!
My favourite one will forever be BBC 1995 version. Colin Firth is the best Darcy in my eyes🙂
1995 costumes are most accurate.
2005 most accurate in terms of location & realism.
2005 has the most realistic reaction from Lizzie.
1980 had gorgeous costumes too.
1940 Mr Darcy is so handsome.
1995 & 2005 Mr Darcys are both swoon-worthy.
The costumes in the oldest version look like they’re left over from Gone with the Wind.
Interesting that you noticed that. I've always had a strong dislike of the 1940 version. I read somewhere that the studio spent so much money making Gone With the Wind that they were forced to recycle costumes and film in black & white.. Costumes were horrible. IMO another huge mistake was casting Greer Garson as Elizabeth Bennett. A 36 year old woman trying to convince us that she 's 20?
The sleeves look like they're from the 1830s and the crinolines from the 1850s. So inaccurate!
And what about Dutch version?😅
@@JK-sh8rc Seriously? That’s funny and awful at the same time. Those big old hoop skirts the belles were dancing in must have cost a fortune!
Lizzie has the best comeback line EVER!!
💕
I could watch 1995s version over and over again its so good.
It's funny how Jennifer Ehle looks and acts quite a bit like Greer Garson. But Jennifer Ehle was by far the best performance of all of them and most true to the book.
I found her way too subdued compared to how Lizzie is described in the book, and Jane in this version is incredibly insipid. The end scene where Lizzie and Darcy walk together seems quite passionless. A little more energy and it would have been great.
@@adrianaloborec2205 I also think she was a little bit too subdued. I think a mix of Keira (who was a bit too giggly at times?) and Jennifer would have been perfect!
@@adrianaloborec2205I absolutely agree on Jane being badly portrait. Rosamund Pike was a far better Jane.
@adrianaloborec2205 I disagree entirely. In the book we see a lot of Elizabeth’s internal dialogue which is obviously going to be more extreme than how she behaves outwardly. Ehle did a great job of hinting at those rebellious thoughts and feelings while outwardly acting proper and polite, rather than just being overtly snarky. It works way better.
@@MissCaraMintI agree with you on Ehle’s portrayal of Lizzie. Her little reactions here and there show how mischievous and rebellious her inner thoughts are. And she is shown to be a mature young lady, she ought to act like one. So Ehle acted her perfectly. Love the 1995 series to death!
I just love the 2005 version so much😭
1995 my favourite. Despite Laurence Olivier that version turned into some kind of American civil war version costumes completely wrong. Loved the elegant Italian version
I’ve always found the 1940 version charming. And I love the 1980 version.
The 1980 version is my favourite!
"She is tolerable.." : The starting point of all misunderstandings and prejudices growing in Lizzy's mind.
First impression matters.. lol
1995 and 1980 are my favs!
the 1995 and 1980 versions are the best
Just 1995 was the best!
The 1980 version does not get the credit it deserves .
I think I am one of the few ones who didn't enjoy the 1995 version except for Colin's interpretation of Darcy. My all time favourite is the 2005 version. The entire cast on the whole is better than in any other adaptation imo ❤
I share the same thoughts! I never get tired of watching the 2005 version, while i only saw once the 1995 vs and i don't feel the desire to ever watch ot again. Even though i love Colin ❤
The pride and prejudice with Colin firth is the best production for accuracy
And he's so cute!
I appreciate the 1995 one, but the 2005 one is my favorite. Mostly because it's more beautiful to look at and uses the visual nature of the medium to its advantage. I generally don't care whether an adaptation is accurate, as long as any changes made still make sense in the context of the story. But if you're just going to make a film exactly like the book... why not just read the book?
Even though the costumes are far from being accurate, I found the 1940s version charming 🤭 I loved Lizzie’s sassiness
1995 version was a masterpiece. Who could better Colin Firth as Darcy! However, the 1980 version was excellent. Elizabeth Garvie made a delightful Lizzie Bennet.
The 1995 version is classic with the best cast ensemble and adaptation but the 2005 version is a cinematography masterpiece.
i had no clue they'd made adaptations in other languages!! that was so neat. i do think that it's helped as technology has progressed to allow for more subtle expression and acting, but also i grew up on the 1995 version so it's The One for me
HaHahaha 🤣😁I never noticed that before! lol and thanks for the time stamp
Finalmente questi collage sono tornati... Grazie
Nessun problema. È un piacere. 🙂Dopo la tragica perdita del canale, sto creando ancora una volta questi collage. (Purtroppo non avevo una copia dei collage precedenti che andarono perduti. 🙁)
I like the 2005 version best. I prefer Kiera over the actress in the 1995 Colin Firth version. I also love Lizzie’s line “dancing, even if one’s partner is barely tolerable”. It’s not in the book but I think it’s a great addition and it shows Darcy she heard him speak rudely about her, i think it also shows a little bit more about why he fell in love with her-her spirit
1995 is the best
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I like the 1940 version of this scene the best. Very funny.
Me too😊
I watched most of these different versions of the movie. I honestly could and have rewatched the 2005 rendition many times. I feel it's the sweetest and purist. I love the 2005 the best.😊
1980 had the most age-appropriate cast-I loved that Lizzie and Darcy, and particularly loved Lady Catherine and Mr. collins in that version and thought that Jane was the prettiest and sweetest actress to play that role. Having said that, Colin Firth was a devastating Darcy and I liked Jennifer Elle’s Elizabeth very much. The 2005 version might as well have been a different story since it strayed so far from the book, even though Mathew McFayden is a wonderful actor. Yeah, I probably spelled his name wrong… 😅
It's quite surprising how a tv adaptation can have such a long lasting effect, like the 1995 version. I like its static style of filming (though this has more to do with "tv" style than pure artistic choice, but it kind of fits the stlye of the era) and its sense of humor. I love the Bennett parents, Mr. Collins, Charlotte and Lady Catherine de Bourgh in that version, too, not just Lizzie and Mr Darcy. The cinematorgaphy of the the 2005 is of course much better than any of the others, and that's understandable. It's not a tv version and the technology itself devoloped a lot in the 90s. But I just don1t understand some of the scenes in the movie version. Why the big proposal-refusal scene was shot outside in the rain? That alone was a bit too much and that's a central scene in the story...
The 1995 BBC version is the best ❤
The casting in the 1980 version was perfect. No one can do pride like David Rintoul and Jane and Lizzie were exactly right.
Exactly!
The 1995 version will always be the best
1995 by far the best of all
The 2005 version is the only one that sounds like a conversation people might actually have in the real world.
Please🙄
David Rintoul was the best Mr Darcy of them all.
It's even more striking what a masterpiece the 2005 version is when you've got them all lined up this way. So much more natural, realistic, and relatable.
1995 is better in every way except budget and cinematography.
@@LukasOfTheLight agree to disagree!
@@LukasOfTheLight yeah, and the only good thing about 2005 version is stunning cinematography, everything else is abysmal.
Fine by me; I'm the one who's right.@@danzafrir2900
Yeah, it's a bland version saved by a huge budget and sumptuous visuals. Do it on a BBC budget and much less people would be enamoured with it.@@filuska
2005 the absolute best ❤
I still love 2005 version, it's because of Keira, her acting is so perfect, she's born for this act😍
I love the 2005 one, I always desperately want to jump in and dance with them because it looks such fun and well McFadyan I have a crush on..lol
True. Mathew macfayden's Darcy is the most Romantic of them all and the 2005 versions cinematography and music is unmatched. I prefer the 2005 version much better.
whereever you got all those versions from, wonderful joyful. thanks for causing a smile
Dutch Lizzy’s facial expressions had me loling.
Dutch Darcy and Elizabeth were taking no prisoners good heavens 😳
Of course,1995was best of them...
So interesting to see other countries' dramatisations of an English classic.
Colin Firth and Olivier my favorite actors as Mr Darcy
I just realized it was Virna Lisi in the 1957 Italian version.
The 1940 version is my favorite because of Greer Garson and Lawrence Olivier.
1995 still has my vote as the best version of Pride and Prejudice.❤❤❤
No Darcy and Elizabeth will ever outshine Colin Firth, or Elizabeth by Jennifer Eales
Correct.
Colin Firth is by far the best!
Excellent compilation!
Thank you!!
✨💜🌹💜✨
Thank you for sharing and putting together all these compare & contrasts of Austen's adapted works. I have found the older I get, the more I like how other adaptations do Austen's works, even if they give different approaches. I often get curious to see if they will keep to the essence of the novels and more. The 1940 version is a guilty pleasure for me while it's fun to see how the Dutch and Italians approached the works. 1967 is a good early version and I am personally fond of 1980, 1995, and 2005.
While all versions capture the feel of the book for this scene, I like the different directions:
1940, 1957, 1961: Lizzie openly not having any of Darcy's slights
1957: Darcy's delivery of the slight is a lot harsher
1961: Darcy's delivery of the slight is less harsh then 1957 but still stings
1967, 1980, 1995, 2005: More accurate to the book in which Lizzie is offended but handles it more maturely by laughing/smiling it off
There are elements I like from 1995 and 2005. I wish we could have a remake that combines them. 2005 was a better cast overall, and the humanity and expression of the characters was much more relatable. But while I like the intensity and tension of 2005's Mr. Darcy, I do feel Colin Firth was the better actor. Matthew McFayden delivered his lines a bit flat - moreso than the character deserved, in my opinion. Also, I prefer the nuances of costume that the 2005 version gave ... with Mrs. Bennett being slightly behind the fashion as many older women are, and the transitional clothing of the Bennett girls in comparison to the latest fashions of Miss Bingley. All of those things ring true with Meryton being a country town and the Bennetts only modestly well to do with five girls to clothe, all while Darcy and the Bingleys traveled in wealthier, more chic circles.
Watchingwatching any scene from P&P, makes me want to watch north and south, which I prefer vastly.
1995 bbc series and the 2005 movie have my heart ❤️ truly beautiful adaptations in acting, cinematography and overall feel.
The 1980 version by a country mile.
In my opinion Colin Firth is the ONLY actor able to portray Darcy with as much careless arrogance and believability as Laurence Olivier. He is also very handsome. While the assembly ball may have been historically accurate, I was shocked by how seedy and impoverished it all looked - costumes, setting, people.
The 1980 Elizabeth Benett best captures the essence of the character. Her eyes, her eyes talk. 1995 and 2005 editions are both fine! Funny how the Italian Elizabeth has a fiery Italian temper
Thank you for sharing! I did not know that there was an German and an Italian version :D
Its a Dutch version though, not German. (I know, Dutch sounds quite a bit like German to my ears as well. 🙂)
@@Love.and.Freindship oh sorry , I did not know the difference. Thank you for explain it
I was surprised by the Italians and Germans taking interest in classic English novel it was wonderful loved the 1940's the most
Among the non-English versions, there was a Spanish TV adaptation from 1966 as well - _Orgullo y prejuicio._ However no prints are believed to exist and the series is considered lost.
Dutch
You are funny; as if no other nations could love English literature.
Shake-A-Spear, who?
And the other chap, what's's name, with the gruel? Mr Copperfield's sort-of-relative?
🤔🙃
Dutch, not German!
I'm not going to argue on the costume, just the tone. Am I the only that feels the 2005 has more of a "gothic" or "Romantic/Wuthering Heights-y" feel than an Austenian feel?
As a Dutch person I thought the Dutch version: “not to write home about” as we would say 😂
I remember the phrase “nothing to write home about “ from my childhood. I still use it today.
what i really like watching this version is the talk between darcy and wickham about him marrying lydia, anyhow, i think that ramses shaffy did a very good darcy.... i liked him. 🙂
I actually thought it was quite good. It came across natural and spontaneous with the actors sometimes talking over each other. And Ramses Shaffy was a very handsome man 😊
There was a great spinoff of Pride and Prejudice called Lost in Austen. It's worth a look.
Nah, it's totally shallow, especially the main character comes across more like a brat than anything.
@@adrianaloborec2205 You are totally mistaken.
I never heard of that one, I should check it out. I also enjoyed Austenland, the film was made for the avid fan of her books.
Лучше, чем вариант 1995 сделать невозможно, это шедевр❤
The best Elizabeth: 1980. She's a perfect match for the character I have in my head when I read the novel.
The best Darcy: 1995. It's Colin Firth. I don't think I need to explain.
In the 1980 version you can see that why Sabina Franklyn's Jane is considered prettier than Lizzie. Not so in the other versions.
David Rintoul physically looks the part of the 'great tall fellow' that Bingley describes, but his acting is wooden compared with Firth.
Colin Firth never needs an explanation...
I agree . Jennifer Ehle was just too beautiful to play Elizabeth and as beautiful - or even more so , as Susannha Harker who played Jane.
I prefer the 1940 version but that’s because I love Laurence Olivier films, he was a fantastic actor.
