Encouraged affections.
Matthew describes his dancing as “shaky” at best. Suddenly they had to dance with absolutely no one there and no music.
“That was a hard day. That was a long day…Terrible, when you miss each other (in the dance).”

One of these days...
Lizzie: Well, if every man in this room does not end the evening in love with you then I am no judge of beauty.
Jane: Or men.
Lizzie: Oh, they are far too easy to judge.
Jane: They are not all bad.
Lizzie: Humourless, poppycocks, in my limited experience.
Jane: One of these days, Lizzie, someone will catch your eye and then you’ll have to watch your tongue.

Most memorably, the movie replaces Elizabeth’s view altering tour of a portrait gallery inside Darcy’s Pemberley estate with a stroll through a maze of alabaster nude sculptures, her eyes devouring their voluptuous beauty.
“I have an issue with the book, which a lot of people also have. Why is it, when Elizabeth goes to Pemberley, she finally accepts she likes Darcy? Is it...
Anonymous asked: I read a blog once where the author hated the movie because she thought it was so obvious that Emma Thompson wrote a lot of the dialogue. I didn't find the dialogue in the movie all that out of step with the dialogue from the book (but I also actually love Emma Thompson, too). Do you think Emma's dialogue took too many liberties with Austen's text?

Lizzie stares at her. Darcy at her wedding?
Lizzie: Mr. Darcy was at your wedding? Mr. Darcy?
Lydia: Oh stop it, Lizzie. Mr. Darcy’s not half as high and mighty as you, sometimes.
“I love the way Lydia gets it right there. Albeit, unknowingly. Unwittingly”.
(Joe Wright, Director)

Anonymous asked: There were several mentions of the distance that grows between Jane and Elizabeth throughout the movie- but do you know why they became distant and what the point of it was?

Anonymous asked: I love the movie, but i have to say, Its hard for to understand why Darcy separate Jane and Charles because of the indifference and the low rang of Jane, but Darcy propose to lizzy even she have the same rang and family. And Lizzy didn't show any affections to him. (sorry English isn't my first language

Lizzie: So which of the painted peacocks is our Mr. Bingley?
Charlotte: He is on the right, and on the left is his sister.
Lizzie: And the person with the quizzical brow?
Charlotte: That is his good friend, Mr. Darcy.
Lizzie: He looks miserable, poor soul.
Charlotte: Miserable he may be, but poor he most certainly is not.
Lizzie: Tell me.
Charlotte: Ten thousand a year and he...

Finding Pemberley.
“Elizabeth was delighted. She had never seen a place for which nature had done more, or where natural beauty had been so little counteracted by an awkward taste. They were all of them warm in their admiration; and at that moment she felt that to be mistress of Pemberley might be something!”
(“Pride and preudice”, Jane Austen)

Mr. Darcy: I do not have the talent of conversing easily with people I have never met before.
Lizzie: Perhaps you should take your aunt’s advice and practice.
“I think he’s still grieving for his parents, has this huge responsibility and doesn’t know who he is. What’s that lovely line? ‘I do not have the talent of conversing easily with people I have...

One tumblr year, THANK YOU !
Today I just realized that I´m one “tumblr-year” old. It´s been a great experience to share my “obsession” for P&P with such lovely and kind people. When I started I didn´t even know how to edit a picture or make a gif. The learning has been so funny and rewarding.
So all I want to say is THANK YOU to all of you, followers, anons or even haters for making my life...

“Jane Austen was so engaged by Elizabeth and Darcy she continued to think of them as having lives beyond the ending of her novel, amusing her family and friends with tales of what happened next (to wich we are also indebted for the information that Kitty Bennet married a clergyman and Mary wed one of her uncle´s clerks).”
