[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1995 &gt; 2005
Jennifer Ehle - she was a perfect balance of lizzys humor and grace and intelligence

Colin Firth - but first half of the story. He was the perfect amount of haughty with a dash of charm.

Caroline bingley - the actress made her a jerk, but one we could laugh at.

Mr. Wickham - smarmy and charming

Overall loyalty to the book and accuracy to the time period. It captured the Austen humor.

2005 &gt; 1995
That soundtrack!

Matthew McFayden - but the second half of the story. He captured the love and anguish better.

Mrs. Bingley - I liked that they didn’t make her totally ridiculous. She was foolish but they humanized her.

Keira Knightleys laugh when she saw Pemberley. I think she did a fine job overall but I appreciated that one moment.

“What excellent boiled potatoes” - I don’t know why but I just loved that line and his delivery.

Mr. Bingley - I liked his goofy goodness

Overall it had a dreamy romantic feeling. It even captured the mundaneness of their lives in a way that many Austen period pieces done. [/quote]

Do you mean Bennett for all those people? [/quote]

Whoops! I meant I liked the Mrs Bennett interpretation in the 2005 version! [/quote]

I have to agree that 1995 Mrs Bennett was too much of a caricature for me. It would have been good on the stage but for film, it was over acted. Lydia was similarly a caricature in 1995 but I thought that fit much better and actually loved the performance. [/quote]
