Thank you :) ! I´m glad that you enjoy my blog.

I don´t hate the american ending, in fact there are some posts about it in my blog like these: 1, 2, 3…and more. But I understand why some people don´t like it, even Joe Wright and Matthew Macfadyen prefer the other ending. Anyway my next post is dedicated to those who like `sugar´.

Thank you , that´s so kind :) !

No, there isn´t. But Joe Wright is directing the film “Anna Karenina” and Matthew will play Anna’s (Keira) sibling, Oblonsky.

“The pace slows down in two places, one on the swing and the other where they walk towards each other across the dawn fields. That seemed to come from a different film. Maybe I was indulgent. I loved that shot. He looks lovely and the shot means a lot to me, to see your destiny walking towards you, I’d want that moment to last a really long time. Rhythmically, it worked for me.”

(Joe Wright, Director)

“I said to Joe, I would love to play this part, but you’re not going to make her a caricature, are you? I think you have to understand her problem. He said, ‘absolutely. I wouldn’t want you to play it that way, I’m asking you because I think you won’t do that.’ 

Mrs. Bennet’s concerns are compounded by the fact that women had no status then. The inheritance laws mean that her husband’s estate, her family’s home, will be inherited by a distant cousin when Mr. Bennet dies. That means, she and her daughters could be cast out to fend for themselves or even sent to the workhouse. So the solution is, for at least one of her daughters, to marry a man wealthy enough to take care of all the family. She is trying to solve the problem as best as she knows how.”

“Caroline’s such a bitch. It was delicious playing her, although when you go in and do these small roles you’ve no idea whether you’re any good or not. I still feel that film is something I’m only dabbling in.”

“She was humbled, she was grieved; she repented, though she hardly knew of what. She became jealous of his esteem, when she could no longer hope to be benefited by it. She wanted to hear of him, when there seemed the least chance of gaining intelligence. She was convinced that she could have been happy with him, when it was no longer likely they should meet. What a triumph for him, as she often thought, could he know that the proposals which she had proudly spurned only four months ago, would now have been gladly and gratefully received! He was as generous, she doubted not, as the most generous of his sex. But while he was mortal, there must be a triumph.”

(Pride and prejudice, Chapter 50)

Lydia and Kitty, the giggly frame of mind.

“Keira´s got the most beautiful neck that I´ve ever seen. And I wanted to shoot close-ups of her neck and I wanted to shoot Darcy looking at her neck and I wanted to shoot the details, the visual details of living.”

(Joe Wright, Director)

Thank you sooo much :) ! It´s not me, it´s P&P charm. I love to share my love/obsession for this beautiful film with you.

Bows and byes.

“Filming Pride and Prejudice was a joy and made for one of my happiest summers ever. It could well be that the story brings out the best in people and it sounds so cheesy, but we really did behave like a family. The girls playing the younger sisters had never been on a film set before and wanted to socialise all the time, so we picnicked, hung out in a beautiful country house and went swimming naked in a lake. It was idyllic.”
