pride and prejudice.

 

i do not frequent movie houses much so i resign myself to uploading and syncing old movies to my itouch.  last month, i posted an entry about pretty woman.  admittedly, i like chick-flick movies because the stories are generally light and feel-good. though i try to stay away from  the cheesy ones—those i really can’t stand.

aside from pretty woman, the film version of jane austen’s pride and prejudice, which starred keira knightley and matthew macfayden, is also a mainstay in my itouch. i first fell in love with the story when i downloaded the audio book and had it playing over and over.  it was my sister who introduced and hooked me to the film version.  it was much farther on when i read the book.  the book and audio book are the same except that the latter is more alive and transports you exactly in time.  the film, on the other hand, is a fusion of everything! it’s a visual feast with wonderful actors bringing to life the classic lines that are very distinct of jane austen’s novels.

a classic romance novel transcending social borders and time.
