She did it two times omg. I laughed so hard

@@agatask Yup, she did!

But that's exactly what happened. Elizabeth was so accustomed to her perception of Darcy, that seeing him capable of great change threw her into disarray.

Ok this comment us underrated

HEHEHHEHWA

Calm* Panic*

@@thomas_hobbs1453 you realize that they're supposed to be misspelled as part of the meme, right?

What a lot of people fail to understand, I think, is that Darcy is not so loved because he's the perfect man (spoiler alert: he's not perfect at all) but because when the woman he loves rejects him and tells him why, he actually thinks her accusations over and over and comes to the conclusion that she was right (at least partly), he was being a prick, and does his best to show her that he has listened to her and has learnt from his mistakes and puts aside both his pride and prejudice. Which is also what Elizabeth does.

It's my kind of romance! Something about that exact dynamic just gives me life

The fact that Colin Firth is drop-dead gorgeous also helps, of course!

I always think this! Colin Firth did well, but Jennifer Ehle should be more famous. She's amazing.

Maybe she chose to stick to theatre rather than pursue film stardom.

She IS a household name.. she’ll go down in history as the actress who personified and perfectly embodied Elizabeth Bennet. No other actress has ever come near her perfect understated portrayal of her. Keira Knightley for one had me squirming uncomfortably in embarrassment .

@@lynneforbes4420 That's not really a 'household name' though, is it.

@@lynneforbes4420 But Keira got a Academy nomination for that and Jennifer got none.

Hahahaha

Reading it may change your mind.

I know that my comment might suggest I only read the first line, but I did actually read the whole book

@@lisacz9627 I just finished the book and am someWHAT on the fence about iT, but I thought the first two parts of this mini-series, which I plan to finish, really did the book justice, and iT's freaking crazy. THAT MOTHER. I can see why Darcy wanted nothing to do with that family. I'm surprised Lydia didn't knock over the quarter barrel at the Bingley ball.

@@andrewfrankovic6821 ohhh the ball scene in the miniseries made me DIE of second hand embarrassment for poor Lizzy 😬😬😬

Mags Honey I know I was so frustrated by that! I was literally yelling: HE’S TRYING TO COMPLIMENT YOU DAMN IT! I know she has every reason to think otherwise but Darling acknowledge what he’s trying!

Excellent point, I never saw it that way. One of the best things about "Pride and Prejudice" is how both are so mired in misconceptions of each other that they miss the obvious.

darcy was doing the "not like other girls" thing and deserves to be looked down upon

You just summarized the whole book tbh

That's Lizzy's pride and Lizzy's prejudice on display.

Same for Colin Firth.

@@nygirl7195 True lol Especially when they share a scene. The others barely register a thought.

Agreed.

Yes! Jennifer Ehle is quite an actress.

seems closer to 99% ;-)

Mr Darcy said to Bingley that he admired "her fine eyes:. Ms Ehle has the finest eyes of all the actresses that played Elizabeth Bennett she literally speaks with her eyes. Best adaptation ever made of Pride and Prejudice.

@@dzfuturo This can be said regarding Keira too.

Yes

@@Girl95szia Keira? Not really? And she has that face like someone hit her with a shovel across her face... that big dent across her whole face...

​@@Girl95sziaIkea Knightly. Sorry Keira, but you butched the role.

And telling miss Bingley that she got no chance here despite all her feathers and flashy dresses cuz she's a shallow snake lmao How can one not love Pride and Prejudice

Exactly. It is because the 2005 movie got this scene wrong that many only realizes that after reading the books or watching this seriesZ

@@Nat.ali.a Well, at least from my perspective, it is clear that it's a compliment in the 2005 version because in that scene Lizzy even closes the book she's reading, making it clear that she's somehow rejecting his compliment. I noticed that since the very first time that I watched the film.

@@Nat.ali.a In what way it was made wrong? I think it's more clear in 2005 version.

I mean.....duh.

so true! her expressions are the stuff of legends.

So did Colin Firth💖

It's called: acting

well Jennifer Ehle is talented like that

And now we know why Darcy considers her to have, "Fine eyes."

I know, right!

Elizabeth: I'm trying to tell you that you need to present your weaknesses without making them sound like everyone else's fault.

@@JOHN----DOE lol telling someone you can't talk easily to strangers isn't putting the blame on anyone else. It's just saying, "I literally cannot easily talk to people. I can't do it, emotionally or mentally."

@@lindseysquire8417 but in those days talking to people was the only way of getting anything done I’m the society. It all depended on small, polite talk. They literally had to practice social anxiety out of their system or they would become freaks.

@@liliyachub I mean...Darcy has enough money that he can just be a freak. That's kind of his entire character for 2/3 of the book.

She does have a point, though - even with anxiety, talking to people becomes easier the more you practice it. I imagine that lots of women in those times would've also found socialization stressful, but unlike Darcy, they wouldn't have had the ability to opt out of it because they were uncomfortable.

yeah it was exactly like in the book, it was so amazing scene

She has a look like "Okay, who are you and what have you done to Mr. Darcy?" Meanwhile Darcy is likely internally screaming and telling himself to be extra nice to Lizzie's relatives on his home turf, despite his social awkwardness, just to prove he can be a gentleman.

@@mish375 aww he is so scute and so grown up, I am proud of him :)

@@lenochod6 And Lizzie also has to mature, realizing that Darcy is a good guy, but he just has trouble socializing. I love how he just rushes down the steps in the hopes of catching her before she leaves. Awww.

@@mish375 exactly!

Someone finally pointed those out, thank you! 😆

@@chiaratippy It was too fast for reading, the words shown too shortly. 😦Please blend them in a little longer in future videos. Thank you 😙

Lol, it's "Why is hot?" She can't even form a proper sentence in her head :D

Remember that when Elizabeth Bennet was looking at the portrait of Darcy at Pemberley, she did find him handsome, because she realised he had smiled at her in the same way. *swoon*

@@chiaratippy I love "creep" when she catches him staring at her for the billionth time

That is one of my favourite things I came up with for this video, I'll admit. 😆

I felt it was more she actually kinda sh*ts herself at seeing him and forgets herself for a moment as deep down she really doesn't hate him she just 'wants' to same as he 'has to' hate her

@@coffeecatscrystals Okay, I think you're right.

And we stan

He terrifies her. And vice versa.

​@@courtneyawalshevery time he bows at her its so awkward, I love him 😂

totally agree.

I think Elizabeth is pride and Darcy is prejudice too... Either way it comes to love.

I think the point Jane Austen was making is that pride and prejudice are interchangeable self-centered emotions.

@@clairewatson3868 I think, pride prevents you from seeing your own faults, prejudice - virtues of others.

A more careful reading of the novel reveals that Lizzie is also guilty of pride and Darcy is also guilty of prejudice.

Quite accurate, I dare say. 😆

ROFLMFAO.

PFFFT

The most accurate comment ever about P&P

Darcy has to deal with his ultimate Karen of an Aunt (Lady Catherine de Bourgh) and her daughter, as well as Bingley's snobbish sisters. Elizabeth is one of the few in her family that are normal (aside from Jane, her father, uncle and aunt). I imagine she and Darcy had a lot of notes to compare when it came to family being crazy.

more like darcy, wickham, lady catherine: being total dicks for no reason

Hehehe 😅 thanks for pointing it out, I never saw that until you mentioned it 😊

4:10 one is the BEST!!! I think some would notice that Darcy, in respect of 'class' is higher than the Gardiner's (IIRC, Elizabeth's uncle Gardiner is in trades while Darcy is a gentleman--different circle), but he requested Elizabeth to introduce him to the Gardiner's anyway. This shows two sides: one, Darcy respects Elizabeth's judgment that she can vouch for these strangers, two, him assuming that Elizabeth's acquaintances are of similar circle therefore worthy of knowing/introduction. Darcy could've just ignored them, but nooo, he requested to be introduced to them, then he also was polite and accommodating making the Gardiners felt welcome.

Also she's watching him when she mentions cheapside - the place CB mocks - and is shocked that he's entirely friendly about it. Also there's a huge contrast between the way he takes a no and someone like Collins. First thing he says in the letter is not to worry that he's continuing with unwelcome attentions, and at the end the first thing he says is that if he's wrong and matters haven't changed, he'll be silent on it forever. He flags in both cases, immediately, that her no is and will be respected.

Yes it's definitely the best one. Watched it again recently and it hasn't aged.

Definitely. And respect for the book so that the characters and the relationships are absolutely true

Which version is it?

@@trirahayuwap - These clips are from the BBC mini-series from 1995.

definitely the best- jennifer ehle embodied elizabeth so well

The reality is that the excuse finishes loading hours later when we're all trying to go to sleep but our brains are like "Haha no remember that really embarrassing moment? Think about it for hours."

@@jenriv89 this is so accurate 😂

@@jenriv89 I'm sorry, I think you are talking about me.

@@jenriv89 , l'esprit d'escalier strikes again! Humanz is fawlty, speshuly at parties.

As I've said in another thread of comments here, my personal experience with this series is that of a slow burn of sorts, the more I watch it, the more I love it.

CTippy Exactly. For me is like this, as I’ve gotten older I feel like I can understand the characters better and fell in love with them even more. I think I was 8 or 9 when my mother introduced me to this series, and ever since then I’ve watched it countless times (I am 21 now). It never gets boring

@@courtneylilly9485 I found out about P&P and Jane Austen thanks to the 2005 movie when I was 16 more or less and I remained attached to that adaptation for a few years because it introduced me to what is now one of my favourite authors of all times and when I watched this miniseries I liked it but not as much as I expected. Then after re-watching it again and again in the course of all the following years, I've grown more and more attached to it because after every rewatch I ended up appreciating things that I didn't before, and now at the age of almost 30 (yes, I'm a bit of a semi-old lady LOL), I find myself being a fan of this adaptation as I've never been before. As for the book, I've just finished reading it for what is probably the 15th time and I never get tired of it!

CTippy I watched the 2005 movie but for me the series is much better. I think I’ve read the book only two times but I was planning on re reading it this summer.

@@courtneylilly9485 If I had to choose now, I would totally choose this one for a number of reasons, but the movie I think will always be an enjoyable watch for me, even if I don't find myself liking it as much as I used to when I was 10 years younger or so.

For real tho?

Proof?

you mean Duckface from the Four Weddings and a Funeral? :)

And she's actually a wonderful, kind, great actress--Hercule Poirot falls in love with her in one show. She plays Caroline Bingley perfectly--you can really hate her! ha!

I am all astonishment!

Keira,llora demasiado.

I so agree with you!

What’s your opinion of Lily James?

I think the biggest problem with Keira and Matthew’s P&P is they tried to cram it into a movie format. This needs to be a mini-series

Agreed. While the _age_ of the actors for the 2005 film version was truer to the book, everything else about the characterization/acting was truer in the miniseries (imo). They tried to Jo March-ify Elizabeth's character for some reason (according to interviews, Jo Wright thought that her preference for going on walks and not particularly minding getting her hem a little dirty, and the fact that she occasionally read a book, automatically made her some ahead-of-her-time tomboy). They also made multiple characters socially awkward or gave the social awkwardness undue importance as a way to 'explain' their flaws and a cheap shortcut to audience sympathy, including _Mr. fucking Collins_ (Darcy definitely has some social awkwardness - that's canon; but to lean on that so heavily as the chief explanation for his aloofness/snobbery is a Hollywood solution to a more complex, less perfectly sympathetic personality).

💀😂

😂 *Wheezing*

Damn if Jane Austen had lived and written P&P in our times Lizzy would have definitively said that lmao

New motto

Might I suggest ‘I am *handsome* I am grace, I will roast you to your face.’

My vote counts two times, because I'm counting my mother.

So far 1995's version has the most "from the novel" lines in it . Always loved this version best. 💜💚💙💛

Movie?? What movie?

This version is greater, especially the final boss fight scene between Lady Catherine and Lizzy. In the 2005 movie, Lizzy was showing her vulnerability even her posture suggested that in front of Lady Catherine’s intimidation. While in 1995 version, Lizzy’s sarcastic roasting causes Lady Catherine tremendous humiliation ‘I am NOT accustomed to such language!’ And yet, Darcy’s proposal is the best in 1995 version.

I like both. And the Zombies one. Not even kidding.

Did he take a swim in his lake while you were touring his estate?

You were handsome enough to tempt him

Ohhhhh boyyyyy….

@@maddiehail7991 🤣

I hope you know you're living all of our dreams

Yes!!

That is one of my favourite scenes of the whole miniseries, hands down!

CTippy it is one of my favorite scenes as well. I also love her face shift in the scene before Bingley proposes to Jane and she is forced to leave the room. When she closes the door she is pissed of and for a split second she looks at Bingley and is all charming smile. It is a very quick shift, but I love it.

@@agatask She's freaking amazing!

It runs in the family- her mom is the actress who played Aunt May in the first (Toby Maguire) Spider-Man series.

I never really understood why she didn't run in the books. I know I would have run. Fast.

Yuke Adel12 I would love to see the complication of all the faces she makes.

@@agatask me too lol

While this would be good it would unfortunately be the entire show

so, the whole movie

hahahahah glad you liked that!

Cuz it was true.

Great insight! That totally makes sense.

So high school circa 1820...

Also, she talks with the housekeeper at Pemberly, who goes out of her way to sing his praises. This shows that among people he's familiar with, even the servants, he's an awesome dude.

I like both Darcy’s…each has a unique interpretation to the character…but Jennifer Ehle, as much as I like Keira, is definitely the superior version of Lizzie…

Good joke.

I agree, 1995 all the way

Note the more historically accurate clothing, hair, and actors. Like, they chose actresses and actors that would’ve been considered attractive at the time, they all look like they stepped out of an oil painting. Meanwhile, the newer Elizabeth looks like a modern model and has bangs....

ALWAYS💯

1995 version rulez!

I love how the fancy Londoner have flasher clothes than the country people, and the old folk wear wigs, as was popular in their youth, but younger people don't. As you say, it's got a very believable air to it.

Unlike so many more modern productions that like to pride themselves on their 'gritty realism' and think that living in the country meant run down houses and tattered clothing. I see so many of these and scream at the screen Mr. Darcy wouldn't be seen DEAD like that!

Me too, I love the old British fashion here it's beautiful and I cannot stop admiring it.

The most immersive fictional world ever.

Only once she'd seen Pemberley ;)

She's the best!

I've loved this version since first seeing it and the many times since. The Knightly version was such a disappointment, I only ever managed to sit through it once, no desire to try again.

Yeah, most of the humor also comes from passive aggressive tone of voice and body language. This version will forever be my favourite just because of the acting

I find it very bland

@@JulieWhooly091 *gasp*

@@Luna.311 I know - highly unpopular opinion xD

No way. This Elizabeth is so forgettable, but Colin Firth was born to be Darcys.

@@JulieWhooly091 Saaame. Seemed too scripted like acting on stage.

Hollywood never beat British adaptation.

If you're a fan of the novel watch the 1995 version and don't bother with the 2005 film; as a film in it's own right it has some merit, but precious little when placed alongside the 1995 version, which is a masterpiece.

What I'm saying by this comment is that I love to see videos about this series, so thanks!

I love that this series has been with you since childhood! Thank you for watching my videos, I'm glad you enjoyed them. :)

My dad imported this series from England - we had a TV recording, but they never aired the complete version in Austria (and it was in German, too, I hate synchronisations). We used to watch P&P together, and argue over which version was the best. He prefers the one with the poppies, while this version is my favourite.

My first build a bear when I was 6 was named Elizabeth Bennett bc of this version

Aww, what a lovely memory.

Nah, it's an old trope. Shakespeare for example wrote Taming of the Shrew which was the inspiration for 10 things I hate about you.

Enemies to lovers dates all the way back to Mesopatamian mythology with Gilgamesh and Enkidu.

Yes!!! The few scenes I've stumbled across from the 2005 version feels like actors speed-reading dialogue at eachother, with no natural cadence. The 1995 version is masterful at using pauses and hesitancy to make it sound more realistic.

@@chiaratippy what does Darcy mean when he says Pride will always be under good regulation?

@@jeffreykaufmann2867 he means that he doesn't think Pride is necessarily a fault, that if the proud person is intelligent he will keep his pride under good regulation and never let it ruin him - Pride goeth before the fall and all that. The humorous thing about this line is that he thinks himself proud, yes, and doesn't see it as a fault because he thinks also tbat he's smart enough to never "fall" because pf his pride, but we already know at this point of the book that HIS pride is MOSTRE DEFINITELY NOT under good regulation, because it makes him think he's better than everyone and allowed - nay, intitled! - to offend people around him with his contempt

Yes, the "fine eyes" were "perfectly so."

I'm so glad you're liking the book, and yes!, Jane Austen was a brilliant writer, I love her so much! I'm glad you appreciate the inner monologue written that way, some people have been bothered by the cursing and the 21st century language and I'm sorry for that but, as you've pointed out, I use it all to heighten as much as possible the contrast between their overly polite speech and manners and what they "think" but are not allowed to show nor say because society rules forbid it and make the result all the more absurd and hilarious. Thank you so much for watching and commenting! 😊

The book is genius. I wish we could have met her.

@@chiaratippy Some people might be bothered, but then again, Austen's books do use the word "damn", which was considered rude back in that age. People did curse back then, just not publicly. And only somebody who knows Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" well can accurately translate Elizabeth's thoughts into 21st century speech. When I see the reactions, I immediately think back to the lengthy inner monologue from the book, which is why I find it hilarious.
