I loved the book, but I always found the way they handled that scene in the movie actually better than the book version. Like you said, the tension was borderline obscene.

I was actually surprised by how very very very good the movie is. I knew the actress who played Elizabeth only from Pirates and I wasn't sure how she would fare, but she's actually spot-on, with the big eyes and the long neck and always looking like she's fidgeting to say something but keeping herself back for the sake of propriety. And that Darcy was perfect. Stunning. A total dork in the beginning, rawrrrr at the end.

So yeah, I'll stop harping about the movie and say that while I loved the book, I think this movie the better adaptations that I've ever seen and I can totally understand somebody preferring it to the book.

Yeah, even better than the BBC miniseries. Somebody is going to have my head for this, but while Colin Firth is always awesome, I could never entirely buy that Elizabeth (she's probably a very good actress, pity I forget her name, but there's no accounting for taste and she just didn't work for me). Also it was one of those cases in which absolute faithfullness to the book ended up making for a somewhat wooden scenic movement and forced dialogues. Oh God, I hope nobody I know finds out I wrote this, they'll have my head.
