Re: Based on #7

The Pride and Prejudice movie was lost on me because the characters dressed way too modern. But I had also just seen the BBC miniseries; I probably would've cared less if I hadn't.

I think the wardrobe would've bothered me less if they hadn't also modernized the speech. It's Jane Austen and not that difficult for a modern audience to understand. "Updating" it loses a great deal of the color and characterization, IMO.

I watched the movie version once and have never been able to bring myself to watch it again. Simply awful.

I'm the opposite. I find the dresses for that time period to be really unflattering so I really liked the new movie in that respect (and the old 1940s one that gave zero fucks about any kind of historical accuracy). I actually liked a lot of the changes in the new movie.

The Kiera Knightly version you mean?

The designer was playing games with the period of the clothes - the country bumpkins wore older styles (relatively low waist, earth colours) than Miss Bingley, late from the capital in high-waisted silks. Come the big Bingly ball all the women were aping her style.

It wasn't exactly period but it was done in a very considered way and aided the storytelling. For me, it was a plus.
