“Macfadyen’s Darcy is wounded, boyish, broken. Stiff with inhibition, his face misshapen, his eyes eerie distant chips of light blue, he is magnificent. His sexuality is far more understated than Firth’s, but no less powerful.”

“You have to know what the rules are, you have to know the etiquette in order to rebel from it. She puts her elbow on the table, she slumps, she laughs without covering her mouth. It’s fun to know when your breaking the rules and when you’re not”.

(Keira Knightley)

Do you have anything on Joe and Rosamunds relationship, or do you know anything about them? I know they were together, even engaged? If I've understood it right they got together during the filming of P&P? Do you know if they ever spoke about each other during filming, or during the press for the film? Any mention of their relationship/love in the directors commentary, or did maybe Joe speak of her?

Take a look here for the full story. And this is what he said when they filmed P&P.

Letters.

“So many letters in a Jane Austen book, wich are difficult things to dramatise really. I think letters are really un-cinematic and quite boring in terms of film.”

“Wickham is much more obviously attractive than Darcy. He knows about how to chat to women, he is self-deprecating and modest wich is, of course, terribly attractive, he looks gorgeous in his uniform, and those aren´t of course Darcy´s qualities at all.”

(Deborah Moggach, Screenwriter)

Primero que nada, me encanta tu blog!!!!No pude parar hasta verlo entero! (y me tomó varios días que disfruté mucho!) Puedes subir algunas imágenes o información sobre Lizzy y Mr Wickham? Me parece super interesante como ella trata de "evitar" los sentimientos hacia Mr. Darcy enfocándose en el apuesto soldado...tienen tomas muy bonitas. Además tengo entendido que la historia de ellos dos siguió fuera de pantalla, no? Me encanta el trabajo que Joe Wright hizo con esta película, es hermosa!!!!

¡Un millón de gracias :)! Eres muy amable y significa mucho para mí. Sí, Keira y Rupert Friend fueron pareja muchos años. Es verdad que tengo al Sr. Wickham un poco olvidado, supongo que por solidaridad con Lizzie :). Así que te dedico el próximo post.

Do you know how was Rosamund and Simon's relationship while shooting the movie? I mean, do you if it was awkward or something cause I couldn't find the info and on the pics they just seem really comfortable around each other...

Rosamund and men in this film, that´s a very interesting thing. Take a look at these old posts:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

how old are you?

Sun, 12 May 2013 12:27:26 -0400

Older than Lizzie, younger than Lady Catherine :).

Mr. Bingley´s lovely faces.

“Jane Austen always got much better with her father than her mother, just like Elizabeth Bennet. Her mother was a hypochondriac, like Mrs. Bennet and wasted a lot of money in Bath on quack doctors for imaginary illnesses.”

Why don't you ask questions in a normal way? It's easier to read an the tumblr of that person gets some award

My cousin and I are planning our 50th Birthday for 2014 and decided since we both adore P&P, we’re going to attend the Jane Austin festival in Bath England! We’re also wanting to see the film sites for P&P (with Kira Knightly). Do you know the major places the movie was filmed so we’re sure not to miss anything?

We’re planning to make our own costumes for the festival as well! :)

Oh you´re so lucky, that´s one of my dearest dreams. Take a look at this post, hope it helps. Have a wonderful trip and enjoy the experience :)!

Thank you so much for this peace of Art!! I love the book and this version of the movie too, And just this morning I woke up and thought, maybe I should watch it again, and then I found on facebook your link. I came here and was enchanted with this blog for hours! That wasn’t my plan for today.

I really love how you put the pictures and litle sequences from the movie to bring out the emotions, feelings etc. Seeing the movie here in little pieces the beauty of it becomes even more revealed.

It might be good to mention how many pages your blog has. I was always pressing next, thinking it must end sometime and stopped at 117- after hours of delight.- its really addictive- But I figured also out that it has at the moment 167!

Great job. Enjoyed every bit of it!!

Sunny greetings from Seoul, Korea

Aruna.

Awww a million THANKS Aruna :) I feel so overwhelmed reading your message, knowing that you took your time to take a look at my older posts, really means a lot.

You have done such a beautiful work here. I love your Tumblr!

Fri, 03 May 2013 15:15:27 -0400

Thank you very much :) It´s not a work it´s a real pleasure.

I love this artfully portrayed story. I watch the movie at least every two weeks. The actors are so incredibly talented, it doesn't feel like a movie at all. I ache for Jane. I understand Lizzie's thoughts and actions. I love the relationship she has with her father. Mr Collins is the most irritating man. Today we would not need to associate, but propriety in those days forced it. I have no questions but I am so delighted to find your blog.

Fri, 03 May 2013 15:12:51 -0400

Thank you sooo much :) ! Feelings are the same now and then but circumstances were so different, especially for women. That´s why Jane Austen is so wonderful and her books are timeless classics.

Has mathew mcfayden made any other movies?

Of course :)! He has a longtime solid career. Take a look at his filmography.

what are they drinking?

Fri, 03 May 2013 14:53:28 -0400

What is the Bennet family drinking at breakfast the morning Mr. Collins proposes? It looks like tea.

I think so but I could not tell you for sure. Thanks for asking Lisa :)!

“Perod costumes? It wasn´t the first time. It´s part of being an actor dressing up. The costumes were made exactly as they were at that time. They were great, make you walk and move in the right way.”

“The cast went down there and spent a few days playing sardines, and just mucking about in the house so that they could claim it as there own house. They each had their own bedroom and a space of their own. Tom Hollander (Mr. Collins) also played sardines and claimed that when he was in a cupboard with the five Bennet sisters it was the happiest day of his life.”

(Joe Wright, Director)
