Re: Movie adaptations you liked better - and why

[(Anonymous)]

To me, the characterization for the 2005 version felt off and I thought the speech sounded too modern and not much like Austen.

Same here. Charlotte snapping out "So don't you judge me, Lizzie. Don't you dare judge me," made me squirm in secondhand embarrassment.

A lot of the dialogue made me cringe. Unless the adaptation is a modern AU, I see no reason to modernize Austen's language. It's not that hard to understand! The 2005 version also felt the need to make everyone far more effusive and verging on sentimental, which felt wrong.

Take Darcy's speech at the end: "You have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on."

WTF. Dude's supposed to be restrained, and the pathos of the scene comes from the emotions underneath that are barely breaking through. He's not supposed to sound like a Hallmark card. I felt like I was being talked down to, as if the writer thinks the audience isn't smart enough to grasp what's going on unless it's spelled out in 10 foot letters.

I'd rather have modern language than an unlikeable Mrs. Bennet and an obnoxious Lydia. Honestly, I can't watch the first half of the BBC version because of Mrs. Bennet. It's not enjoyable to watch someone who's so annoying.

The characterization might have been off but I loved absolutely every change they made (except for Mr. Bennet).

Well, Mrs. Bennet is meant to be a rather annoying comic figure of ridicule, and Lydia is kind of obnoxious. Maybe even more so in the books, since at the end she has the gall to write Lizzy and hit her and Darcy up for money so Wickham can have a place at court!

Yeah, I'm aware. And I don't like it so I like the 2005 version.

Okay then. :)
