Pride & Prejudice
My Rating: ***
Genre: Drama
Casts: Keira Knightley (Elizabeth, girl on poster), Matthew MacFadyen (Mr Darsey, guy on poster)

Nodding away comfortably in the lullaby of the conversation spoken in beautiful English when Lina elbowed me from my right. She always disturbs me when I fall asleep in the movie!

Those who love classics by Jane Austen would love the movie. I watched it with Fransiska, Titin who both simply adored the movie. Lina said the English is too "Chim" for her to understand.

Pleasant movie but not really my cup of tea. Boy likes girl, girl thinks boy too snobbish. Boy touched girl's heart and they fall in love and live happily ever after. It's OK.

Plot outline courtesy of Golden Village:
The glorious world of Jane Austen is at last brought back to the big screen
in all its romance, wit, and emotional force in Pride & Prejudice. Faithful
to the setting and period of the beloved novel and filmed entirely on location
in the U.K, this is the first movie version of the story in 65 years.The classic
tale of love and misunderstanding unfolds in class-conscious England near the
close of the 18th century. The five Bennet sisters – Elizabeth, or Lizzie (Keira
Knightley), Jane (Rosamund Pike), Lydia (Jena Malone), Mary (Talulah Riley), and
Kitty (Carey Mulligan) – have been raised well aware of their mother’s (two-time
Academy Award nominee Brenda Blethyn) fixation on finding them husbands and
securing set futures. The spirited and intelligent Elizabeth, however, strives
to live her life with a broader perspective, as encouraged by her doting father
(two-time Golden Globe Award winner Donald Sutherland).When wealthy bachelor Mr.
Bingley (Simon Woods) takes up residence in a nearby mansion, the Bennets are
abuzz. Amongst the man’s sophisticated circle of London friends and the influx
of young militia officers, surely there will be no shortage of suitors for the
Bennet sisters. Eldest daughter Jane, serene and beautiful, seems poised to win
Mr. Bingley’s heart. For her part, Lizzie meets with the handsome and – it would
seem – snobbish Mr. Darcy (Matthew Macfadyen), and the battle of the sexes is
joined.Their encounters are frequent and spirited yet far from encouraging.
Lizzie finds herself even less inclined to accept a marriage proposal from a
distant cousin, Mr. Collins (Tom Hollander), and – supported by her father –
stuns her mother and Mr. Collins by declining. When the heretofore good-natured
Mr. Bingley abruptly departs for London, devastating Jane, Lizzie holds Mr.
Darcy culpable for contributing to the heartbreak. But a crisis involving
youngest sister Lydia soon opens Lizzie’s eyes to the true nature of her
relationship with Mr. Darcy.The ensuing rush of feelings leaves no one
unchanged, and inspires the Bennets and everyone around them to reaffirm what is
most important in life.
