      Austen was *so* good at writing scathing portrayals of inappropriate aspirants to heroines' hands. Wickham the slimeball, William Elliot the money-grubber, and John Thorpe the boorish lout leap to mind. But she excelled at clergymen. I sometimes wonder if she had specific men in mind, as some of their quirks and turns of phrase seem so true-to-life. Goodness knows, she would have had ample opportunity to observe her father's colleagues. I wonder if any of them recognized themselves in her novels and blushed? Nah -- the curates and vicars Austen depicted were so lacking in self-awareness, they wouldn't have seen themselves in their satirized forms.

    P&P 1995 is absolutely the best adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel that I have ever seen. I love the 2005 adaptation as well, but it requires a thorough reading or readings of Jane Austen’s novel, or viewing the 1995 version first, to understand it because there simply isn’t enough time in a two hour film to develop all the nuances of the novel.. The six episodes of 1995 do have the time to develop the story and it is simply said, brilliant. Thank you Andrew Davies for your superb screenplay. And every actor nails their role. Jane Austen would have loved it, I’m sure.🌹

I've watched the 1980 version close to 1,000 times.

    I think the 1995 P&P is my favorite thing to watch. I have it on dvd (finally!) and could watch it over and over. I have several parts of it memorized. Favorite character? Probably Lizzy. Though I adore Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy I think Jennifer Ehle's performance as Lizzy was wonderful. I love the story because when you really like a man like Mr. Darcy you want him to have the best for the woman he falls in love with. Lizzy is well worthy of him because she is just so cool. I love how she turns down his first proposal because it was so insulting in spite of the fact that accepting him would save her family from that stupid sexist entail. But she had higher principles than that. Little by little she does fall in love with him and then accepts him when she realizes he really is a good man and now she loves him. P&P is my favorite book. Other great performances were Mrs. Bennet ("Oh, Mr. Bennet!") and Lady Catherine. All of the actors were just perfect for their roles.

Just pure Jane Austen - and done as well as possibly could be. There was a Vanity Fair series too - every bit as well done, and I loved that too. It was the last blast of the 20th century firing off it's final cultural references - without argument and controversy or attempting to identify in terms of modern UK.

    The entire cast of this superb series were excellent. That said, Anna Chancellor has been a particular favorite of mine since seeing her in this version of P&P. Her role in Tipping the Velvet was certainly a surprising departure after playing Miss Bingley.

    It's one thing to be remembered as Lizzy or Jane Bennett, who were the heroines. It's all well and good to be remembered as one of the Lucas girls, who were certainly positive. But Anna Chancellor has to be remembered as the much-despised Miss Bingley, and Julia Sawalha has been burdened with the memory of the awful and ignorant Lydia Bennett -- and half the world wanted to stand in line to slap Lydia.

      I think that playing Lydia must have been a challenging role, trying to emulate someone so stupid, selfish, conceited, self-centered and self-led who not only had no idea of the damage they did but, even if they did, would not care. So the actress did a stunning job in what was a thankless role.
      The other thankless roles are those of Mary Bennett and Mr. Collins.

I got tired of hearing that X is living happily at age Y. I wasn't learning anything that I already knew about the actors.

  • @TheAuburnEnigma

    Never realised how old a lot of the younger cast were when playing the roles, but then I did think the 2005 version got it pretty spot-on in that respect (Keira was only just in her 20s, as was Carey Mulligan (Kitty). Of the rest of the sisters, Jena Malone (Lydia) would have been in either her late teens or just turned 20 and same with Talulah Riley (Mary), whereas Rosamund Pike (Jane) was around 25 so maybe a little older than her character. Of the rest, Simon Woods (Bingley) was about 25, Rupert Friend (Wickham) was around 23 so maybe a little young, Tom Hollander (Mr Collins) 37-38, Matthew Macfadyen (Mr Darcy) would have been 30, Kelly Reilly (Caroline Bingley) 28, Tamzin Merchant (Georgiana Darcy) would have been 18 and Claudie Blakley (Charlotte Lucas) 30.
    But then the mini-series was filmed in the 90s, so maybe it's just that they looked older due to the cinematography that was around back then.

    • @rconach
      @rconach 10 місяців тому +1

      The styles and mannerisms of people in Jane Austen’s era looked and acted older compared to modern times. This is why the character’s appearance and age don’t seem to ‘match up’ now. This 1995 version took that into consideration when casting.

    I was 25 when this came out, and it was the first Jane Austen adaptation I'd ever seen. My mom and I watched it together, and we both fell in love with it. It's a show that I easily get lost in, and there's just something about it that I get lost in.
    My favourite character? I don't know. I always love Elizabeth ("Lizzy") and Jane and Darcy and Bingley, but the more I watch it, the more I love other characters as well. One who's grown on me as far as loving how she's portrayed is Lady Catherine. I can't stand her as a character, and I know that was what Jane Austen intended. But the actress portrayed her so very well. Mr. Bennett is also a favourite of mine, and I feel for Mary. Kitty and Lydia as well, and I always sort of had a thing for Denny. While Adrian Lukas did a great job of portraying Wickham, that character just gets on my nerves. I always want to shake Lydia and tell her to avoid him. haha
    It really is very difficult, though, to pick one overall favourite character, and sometimes it changes from watching to watching.
