Re: Movie adaptations you liked better - and why

[(Anonymous)]

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.
