Movie Reviews of Pride and Prejudice - The Special Edition (A&E, 1996)
Movie Review: always a classic
Summary: 5 Stars
colin firth is in his finest form in this classic tale of presumption, misunderstanding, and, finally, love. loved every minute of it.Movie Review: The longest of Pride and Prejudice on film
Summary: 2 Stars
The bBC A&E production is the longest and most lavish of the Pride and Prejudice films I have viewed. It fleshes out Darcey's character, which is helpful. The production is accurate in its recreation of dances, songs, etc., as well as being precise in its details in showing the contrast between the Bennetts and Bingley's higher society companions. The actress Jennifer Ehle (Elizabeth) brings a sweet and fun quality yet she appears much too old to believe that Lizzie is "not yet 1 and 20". Though Ehle was 24 at the time of filming, she is a very mature 24 and would have suited playing a much older character, someone in her thirties. Colin Firth displays the right combination of emotions and you delightfully follow the subtle yet apparent changes to his behavior and character.
The biggest criticism of the production is the overall too mature ages of the main characters as well as a lack of distinction of accents between the classes of characters. Mrs. Bennet and Mr. Darcey would NEVER have spoken the same accented English!
Movie Review: The best Pride and Prejudice adaptation to date!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have received my copy of the 10th Anniversary Collector's set and I think the colors are just perfect. Not washed out at all. Maybe they have fixed it since the special edition.
Colin Firth is the best Darcy and Jennifer Ehle is the best Elizabeth Bennet. Whenever I read P&P I always picture the cast of this wonderful mini series in mind. Superb acting and production! I can never praise them enough.
I saw the P&P 2005 version first and liked it a lot but then I discovered about this A&E version and loved it so much!
The 2005 adaptation has nothing to this 1995 A&E adaptation.
Movie Review: Wonderful, especially for the purist! :)
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is wonderful. They follow the book very well and do a remarkable job with such a great story.
If you are a Jane Austen fan and like the story to stick to the book, you will love this movie!
Movie Review: The best version
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this DVD after seeing it on youtube. I fell in love instantly. I think this is the best version of Pride and Prejudice film, much much better than the movie version. It captured the book faithfully and the actors (especially Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle) played their roles so convincingly yet so subtly. The movie version is exaggerated too much and the main actors, well, I just don't think they are believable enough.
