Darcy Darcy, where for art thou Darcy?
I love late nights, sifting through the channels in search of a movie. Often times, I find a movie that enchants me but have forgotten how much I love it. Tonight is one such night where I've happened across Pride and Prejudice. It was directed by Joe Wright and stars Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen. I've read the book, written by Jane Austen and the film contains in some cases, the exact wording. English spoken in the 19th century seems much wordier than the vernacular of today however it contains a lot of charm. Along with the wording, the film contains an excellent love story. There's nothing better then watching two people fall in love and not recognize it. The audience begins rooting for the two lovers and when they finally realize they're meant for each other, both the characters and the viewers are content. All of Jane Austen's stories share a certain style and reflect the times in which they were written. Her books and films are definite classics which have withstood the test of time and worth experiencing.
