Movie Review: Pride & Prejudice
Joe Wright's film adaptation of Austen's novel is remarkably entertaining and interesting, to say the least. It is not boring (unlike other adaptations of other classics I have seen) and is certainly beautiful to watch. I might also add that it is well acted, though sometimes the acting amounts to a "so so" rating.
I have never had any interest in watching romance movies (and certainly I still do not have that interest), but the movie just doesn't focus on love and mushy feelings (we get very little glimpses of that, thankfully), but on something that I do like: everyday life.
Keira Knightley acts out her part quite well (though I'm a little puzzled why she got an Oscar nomination). The others, well, they do good as well- though sometimes their acting goes into the territory of "been there, done that".
In my opinion, this adaptation of Pride & Prejudice (the only one I have seen, in fact) is certainly rather good.
