The more I watch it, the more I love the 2005 version with Keira Knightley. I love how much more immediate the emotions are, and the Bennetts' genuine affection for each other, and the observation of the way love/attraction catches at you so you do get the ridiculous embarrassing urge to catch the material of their dress in your fingers, and have to shake the electricity of it out of your hand, after.

(Yes, I'm watching it again. :))

I am sorry but I have to jump in to say that while this version is lolarious, I CANNOT accept it as an actual Pride and Prejudice based on the GIANT CIVIL WAR HOOP SKIRT COSTUMES. WHAT. WHAT. LIZZIE BENNETT IS NOT SCARLETT O'HARA.


- sorry! Sorry. I just have a lot of feelings about contextually-inappropriate hoop skirts. *sheepish*

The thing with Hollywood movies is generally in the even-numbered decades (40s, 60s, 80s), they suck at getting costumes right. In the 30s, 50s and 70s, they tend to do better. When I watch this movie, I say to myself, "Self, you can bitch about the costumes, or you can enjoy Laurence Olivier being a hotass." GUESS WHICH ONE I PICK.
