Pride and Prejudice (Mini-Series) 2001
4 of 7 found this helpful Review of Pride & Prejudice 2001 & 2005
Jane Austin’s book is of a fine of story as one will ever come across, lately I was unaware of the 2001 A&E movie production of Pride & Prejudice with Colin Frirth and Jennifer Ehle, so, was treated to a wonderful surprise.
Now, in 2005 Focus Features presented Pride & Prejudice with Keira Knightly, this film seemed to have a larger budget and was relised on the silver screen, the A&E version was five hours long and more of a minnie series released on Cable TV, the 2005 feature was an hour and a half. Both movies are out on DVD.
The differences are quit startling when you think of the two movies, I will try to set them next to each other in hope of seeing the differences. In the 2001 A&E film I was treated to a story that was rich with how I believe Jane Austin was trying to tell her story, the characters were very rich with personality that rang true. The name of the story is Pride & Prejudice, the A&E movie truly captured the essence of the immaturity and prejudices in Lizzy that she herself could not see and the true pride and arrogance in Mr. Darcee that may have stayed with him for life. Mr. Darcee was not a mean or bad sort of man, he we dealing with an affliction of shyness to converse with people which was taken as a sign of his pride. Lizzy was hard and unforgiving quit different from Jane her old sister that was good in her sole. Prejudice stood in the way of Lizzy as she try’s in her heart to deal with her hidden love for Mr. Darcee. Its funny how Elizabeth mocks Mr. Darcee two or three time in the movie about his comment, on, once he had lost someone’s good opinion he would never give it back, yet, It was really lizzy that could not forgive, that was part of her prejudices.
In the 05 version that is much shorter, I seem to have saw a focus on pictorial beauty, a refining of copied scenes from the 01 movie, a lot of the time I was left wondering what that scene was about because the director was just trying to make a better scene and in doing so he lost the natural way real people converse in the real word.
One particular thinking of the director and art director, that drove me crazy, was that because the Bennett family were not royalty, that they lived like un-kept pigs and they could not keep there house in good order, they showed the paint coming off the walls, worn carpet, pigs walking through the house, The Bennett’s were very wealthy in today’s thinking and English pride, dignity and excellence was the notion of the day, some times liberal directors think that reality is sloppy, the only thing that is sloppy and trashy is the directors feelings on how one lives in those times. Another sad fact of the new movie was the writer added a scandalous affair that was not even in the A&E movie, in the 2005 movie, Lizzy visits Mr. Darcee home and sees him in the arms of another women! Which turn out to be his sister!
Overall there are truly breathtaking scenes that have pictorial beauty and music that really will stir your heart. Like, when Lizzy stands at the edge of the cliff to reveal the beauty of the land that falls away. The wind glides past her as the music sets you into a memorable moment. Another is when she blows out the candle and the scene goes black instead of just the room. Another great scene is when she receives the dreadful news that her younger sister had run off with Mr. Wickom and she leaves in the carriage, the camera focuses on the distressed Elizabeth.

Oldie but goodie
When I started in construction this is the one I bought and I used it for 25 years until it went kaput I was happy to find this one that's in brand new condition unbelievable but I'm used to the functions and the keystrokes so that's why I was looking for this model
