HEY DARLINGS - I AM ALMOST AT 20,000 SUBSCRIBERS - PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN THIS MONTH IT WOULD MAKE ME SO HAPPY FULL LENGTH REACTION - www.patreon.com/sincerelykso
The book describes how almost immediately after Darcy said she wasn’t good looking enough to tempt him, he started thinking about how pretty her eyes were and how nice her figure was and I laugh every time I read it
He's just so dumb! He's falling madly in love without even noticing! I absolutely love how the thing he loves about her eyes is how dark they are, and how they flash with intelligence during an argument. We love an adoring and argumentative king.
Mr. Darcy, a 6'3" superstructure, had that determined walk through the moors that said if he had not found Lizzy in the garden, then he was certainly going to the house (even if he had to get her out bed) to have his proposal answered once for all. I would say that his second proposal was completely different from the first. He really put everything he emotionally had left into it.
Girl you looked as if Mr.Darcy were coming to propose to you 😂 I love it. I think Matthew Macfadyen has such warm looking eyes that you can’t help but feel drawn to the character.
When Mr. Darcy shows up unexpectedly at Charlotte's home, and no one else was there, he was trying to "practice" social skills. But he realized as soon as Elizabeth said Charlotte and Mr. Collins were not home, that it was inappropriate for him to be in the house.
@Margo Kms , and notice that every time she had a complaint against him, or a suggestion for his improvement, he showed her he was trying to improve. And you may be correct. I think he already knew he loved her by that time.
@@MargoKms same! He looks so scared and he's clearly barely taking in what Lizzie is saying. I think in the movie they almost imply he wanted to be along to profess his love and then runs off when Charlotte returns
in the book he had sat with her and started conversing...at some point he realized he had started to lean close towards her because he was so engaged in the conversation and he checked himself...it was so funny how he was reading more than there is to it in their conversation...in Darcy's head at that point they were basically engaged hahahaha
You are one of the few reacters on RUclips who really understood the context of the times without actually having informed yourself to the context. I’ve seen soo many reactions on here and they’re all commenting on things with this day and age’s morals so a LOT of things go way above their heads. You’re also one of the few who doubted Whickam’s story without reading the book prior, so that was awesome as well. I loved this video. Good job
p.s. I'm so thankful to see someone UNDERSTAND this story, its place in history etc. You totally understood. You are educated about historical circumstances, about facts, everything. I can't watch people watching this movie, they're acting like they just fell from Mars and have no knowledge of human history ever. Thank you again for this sweet, so rational and I dare say wise reaction. You're great.
@ScenecrlyK.S.O. she's so right tho, I've seen other reactions from people who are not able to understand that there's a lot about the story that can't be taken out of the context of the time period, and to see you just *get it* was really neat
100x☝️…if you take it in todays context you would be lost and wonder why people act the way they do and say the things they said. But to realize the difference in the time is to truly appreciate everything about this whole story. And I have to say, when Darcy walks across that lawn it was enough to stop my heart and it does so every time I see it! It was great to see you take a pause too❤ I have see a few reactions and had to stop watching because they spoke during the movie as opposed to stopping and discussing it-I really felt as if I was watching with a friend who appreciated it as much as I do!
I love that u picked up on all the subtle things between mr darcy and elizabeth right from the very beginning. A lot of people miss the subtle hints between the two that show their feelings for one another but u picked up on all of it! Sometimes it's frustrating to watch reactions to this movie cuz a lot of people don't notice things so it was nice to watch your reaction since u saw all of it and u reacted just how i do when i watch this movie!
I don't know if anyone has said it, but Elizabeth certainly was judging Charlotte for her decision. She never took seriously the differences in their prospects or their views on marriage, and for some months she thought lesser of Charlotte for doing what she did. She eventually "forgave" her because she missed her friend, but that still implies that Charlotte did something wrong. As Charlotte said in the film, "not all of us can afford to be romantic", which was more true at the time than now. Elizabeth, from a more privileged place in both looks and money, really couldn't understand her.
I love Jane's reaction in the BBC version when she tells Lizzie she must allow for differences in situation and temper. That Collins isn't vicious and he will give Charlotte a comfortable home. But I also think that Lizzie wasn't actually judging Charlotte, she thought she was too good for Collins and deserved better. Yes, she was forgetting that Charlotte wouldn't be able to find better given her class and age, but there's a difference between judging her for her choices and feeling angry that she's settling for a man like Collins.
@@mamaseesa3122 I believe I read somewhere too that she was hurt because she thought Charlotte would hold out for love (and had expressed she would) but ultimately couldn't pass up the safety Collins would provide. It was a betrayal of a sort in her eyes.
My most favorite movie ever. The heavy sexual tension without any kiss or sex is just perfect, and Matthew Mcfadyen as Mr. Darcy ruined it for every other man in terms of stealing my heart 🥰☺ And it was a pleasure to see you feel the same reacting to this movie ☺👍
The British 'class' system at this time was a very serious thing. It was almost viewed as law and to step outside of it, could end in being cast out of 'society'. To marry out of your class was unthinkable. Also, young teenagers are the same then and now, they are not mature enough to make great life decisions. I love this book, and have watched every film version of it, this one might be my favourite because of Matthew MacFadyen, there, I've said it, lol.
@@jonathanparks207 Jane KIND OF did. The Bingleys were new money rich. They made their fortune in trade, which wasn't considered genteel, and they also didn't own land. The Bennets were landed gentry and from old money, so technically Jane was socially higher than the Bingleys, even though her family had less money. Lizzie and Darcy are in the same social, class, though, but because of the difference in their wealth and the fact that Darcy was related to nobility, he was at the higher end of the scale. Dr. Octavia Cox does a fantastic breakdown about the class differences- along with a ton of other really interesting breakdowns of Jane Austen's novels.
You are by far and away the most observant reactor of this film on RUclips. What fun it is to watch you be so deeply moved. It was wonderful to see you laugh and cry, and hear your insightful comments. You were spot on in so many of your observations. May this story keep bringing you joy as it does to us!
I can see why Darcy and Mr. Bingley are such good friends. Outwardly, they may appear as total opposites. However, their personalities are quite similar. They’re both just as shy and socially awkward. It explains the cold feet they both had before proposing to the ladies who caught their hearts. Though Bingley seems more cheerful and happy-go-lucky, when you get to know Darcy, he’s just the same. You can clearly see that he possessed the same lighthearted cheerfulness when he was around his sister.
Good observation. I think a lot of the most solid relationships (romantic or familial or platonic) are between people who are similar deep down, but have surface differences. It’s a nice balance of being different enough to compliment each other, but similar enough to understand each other.
Girl, I giggled right along with you during this reaction! LOL ...this is one of my favorite movies, not only cause its cast and story but THE MUSIC!!! The soundtrack is so good! And can I just say how blue Matthew's eyes are (Mr. Darcy) *sigh*
This is so refreshing, there are so few people that are new to Jane Austen and this Era of literature that truly understand the delicacies and gentle suggestions. You understood and explained it perfectly.
Best reaction to this movie that I have seen, girl! You really got these characters and your reactions are everything! The way you said “what he’s done” with Lizzy at 54:32 was so sweet!
When you pulled out that fan! So adorable. I love how insightful you are, figuring out everyone's motives and ideas. You should read the book now, to see how the characters are developed a bit differently. I'm sure you'll fall in love with Darcy all over again.
You're the BEST reaction channel. You're so smart and observant. You're the only channel where i don't find myself screaming at the screen in frustration
And so true!!! You and Cinema Therapy are the only reaction channels I can watch without being annoyed and frustrated but being entertained and happy bc especially you are so sweet and lovely and smart and and and... I'm happy I found your channel ❤
You would absolutely love Elizabeth Gaskell's 'North and South', the 2004 version with Richard Armitage and Daniela Denby-Ashe. My favourite go to beside this version of Pride and Prejudice.
I read somewhere that the Bennetts farm provided about $150,000 a year income, wheras Mr Bingley's estates produce about $300,000 wheras Pemberly produced $850,000 per year in income. Which is why Mr Darcey was the catch of the day.
I love this 2005 version of Pride and Prejudice along with the 1995 miniseries version! I think the close adaption to the novel I have read is the 1995 miniseries one. But I do love this one too only because of Judi Dench portraying Lady Catherine de Bourgh, the 1995 miniseries, O my goodness they have the best actor to play Cousin William Collins! I think both Matthew MacFadyen and Colin Firth played Mr. Darcy very well! Kudos to the viewer who suggested this one for you! Love Jane Austin stories made into these movies! I set my reminder and I am sure this is going to be another great reaction too! ☮💕
Oh, yes. I’ve watched every adaptation of P&P out there. Nothing compares to 1995 Mr.Collins! And I think I also prefer 1995’s Mr. and Mrs. Bennet. And Kitty and Lydia. And it’s a shame that this(2005) version scarcely showed Mr. Wickham. They chose such a handsome actor but didn’t leave him enough room to display his manipulative charms and how much time he spent with the Bennet sisters. But this was still a charming adaptation. And the tension between Keira Knightly and the actor who plays Darcy is just….whew, it makes Hell feel like the North Pole!
My mind gets so confused when a lovely actor is portraying an unlikable character. Mr Collins seems like a nightmare to be around (let alone marry), but on the other hand I absolutely adore Tom Hollander...
Matthew McFadyen is my favorite Darcy….ever! Everyone talks about Colin Firth, but to me he is just so brittle and harsh as Darcy. In this film, Matthew McFadyen portrays him with an under layer of such sweet shyness and vulnerability. I adore his eyes! The scene where Darcy proposes to Elizabeth in the pouring rain, at the folly, is one of my all-time favorite movie scenes ever. Their closeness, the rain on his lips, just very beautiful and erotic without any touching or even a kiss. Brilliant!
I agree. Although the 1995 mini series is my all time favorite P&P on screen depiction, I’ve always thought that Colin Firth played Darcy as more of a rude and condescending man than the socially awkward, taciturn yet good hearted character he’s supposed to be. But I will admit that the infamous pond scene was…well, nice to see!
@@stefannydvorak7919 The thing is, this is how Darcy is supposed to be, he isn't socially awkward, he is a proud man, so, even tho Matthew's portrayal is more endearing and releatable he is straying a bit from the real Darcy ..wich is understanble, if you are doing your version of a well knwon character you need to bring something fresh to it, otherwise why do it at all
@@samantharamos276 Perhaps it’s because English isn’t my first language (and I knew even less English when I first read P&P than I do now) but in my mind, Darcy was kind of like a mix between the 1995 version and the 2005 version. A man who is prideful and judges others based on his prejudiced worldview. And who’s social awkwardness really comes out when he is taken out of his comfort zone. His comfort zone being the strict late 18th/early 19th century social etiquette and classes.
I really enjoyed this reaction - I love seeing women react to the hand touch by the carriage! I love this film and had my mum watch it with me for the first time on valentine's day this year, needless to say she fell for Mr. Darcy the way we all do. There's a great film called Becoming Jane, which is about Jane Austen's life, you might enjoy it as she's quite a bit like Lizzy and you can see where the inspiration for Mr. Darcy came from.
Watching you giggle and fan yourself throughout the movie: Same, girl, same. I remember when this movie came out I went to see it with my roommate and we were giggling and giddy for HOURS afterwards. :D Also, I love your ongoing analysis - you are very good at picking up on pertinent details and foreshadowing!
GUUUUUUURL OMG 😆😆 I think this is probably going to top the list of one of my all-time favorite reactions ever!!! Omg this has been one of my all-time favorite films since I first saw it originally and I’ve seen pretty much every adaptation of this novel but this one is my absolute most favorite. I do love the BBC version but this one just takes it to a whole new level it’s just so amazingly beautiful and epic and romantic and I need to find my Mr. Darcy I mean where is my Mr. Darcy?!?! We all need a Mr. Darcy LOL & that scene at the end where he was walking across the field in that lovely morning mist is just the most beautiful thing I think I’ve ever seen💜 but I could feel every emotion you were feeling the whole reaction because yeah that tension you can cut it with a knife it was so thick😆😆 Anyway now you need to watch the other Jane Austen adaptation of Sense and Sensibility from 1995 with Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman (he’s a good guy in this one) it is another one that is just absolutely beautiful and you will not regret it.
Yes! Like you, even though I 💕 Colin Firth, I am just more partial to Matthew and the movie version. She should do Sense and Sensibility as these two movies are my faves and brought me out of my "tough girl all action/horror" phase. 😂😂😂
The thing is, if Collins had actually looked closer he could have seen how much more compatible Mary was with him, being the more serious and shy daughter, and she actually seemed to sympathize a bit with him. Could have saved both himself and Elizabeth a lot of stress. Your reaction to the Hand Touch was adorable and relatable!
I know everyone has their favorite Austen adaptations, but my favorite is Persuasion (1995). It’s not really talked about very much, but it’s a brilliant film conveying a tremendous amount just through small moments, and the actors are top notch.
Persuasion is my second favorite Austen. I think it's a great second chance romance, but for some reason Mary is my favorite character. I can't explain it and I wouldn't want to be around her all the time, but I enjoy her in every adaptation. Not Netflix's adaptation, but all the others.
Yes. And the older I get the more I appreciate the maturity of the story in Persuasion. While I do really enjoy the movie version that you indicated, I appreciate the book even more. The prose is just so beautiful. And the development of the main character Anne throughout the story is absolutely lovely.
Absolutely loved this reaction! I highly recommend the book. Jane Austen’s witty dialogue and social commentary is a joy to read or listen to. If you’re someone who doesn’t like to take the time to sit down the book, I would recommend the audio version. The actress who plays Jane in this version of the movie narrates one of the audio versions of this book. And she does a wonderful job.
@55:15 I should also aquire a large hand fan for myself so that whenever a romantic novel or romantic film becomes a bit steamy, I can fan myself while the piano melody of Gymnopédie No.1 by Erik Satie plays in the background.
I’ve been obsessed with this movie and you took us all along on your journey. It was like I saw it for the first time! Thank you so much for your reaction 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
Their are many film versions of Pride & Prejudice, but this was the best in my opinion. It earned a Best Picture nomination at the 2006 Oscars, and you can’t go wrong with the 2 leads…Darcy, Darcy, Darcy ! 😆
It did earn four nominations at the Oscars that year though. It was also nominated 59 times for various other film awards with 13 wins, and it did win the Empire Award (UK) for Best British Film.❤️ I wonder how the academy would have voted that year had they had any inkling and if they had known how much this film would absolutely live on, and catch fire in millions of hearts, with a worldwide following of people who will watch practically anything to do with this 2005 Pride and Prejudice film adaptation to this day! We are many and we are ardent. (And yes, I've read the book (published 1813) four times and still I love, I love, I love this version and wish never to be parted from it. It has bewitched me, body and soul.)
Oh, this will be good. Just a couple things to understand historically about this time period, that you kind of need to know to understand everything in the story: 1. Women could not inherit property. Property was passed down to the nearest male heir. 2. A "fallen" sister would taint the entire family and make the other sisters unmarriable to nobility.
1. women could not inherit real property, but the movable things esp after their own mothers or other female relatives they could, but not houses, farms etc... 2. yes :) My own theory why it was like this with the "fallen" sister - it could be becouse at this time there was "high treason" - a treason of country/king/state and there was also "petit treason" - a treason of husband by his wife. which was also pubishable drasticaly. Though the level of punish was different depending on legal systems of a country and times. At the worst moment (AFAIR 17 or 18 century) the legal system in England punishes wife by burning at the stake, like witches. The milder punishes meant divorcing her by banishing her on the street without any property and taking off her children also - eliminating her mothers rights. Why it was like this? Becouse in most of European legal systems up to late 19 century woman citizenry was a derivate of men citizenry, thats why her father, and later husband or adult son or other male from her family was her caretaker. In legal status most women in such countries as England, France (Napoleonic Code), Austria, Prussia, Russia got no their own citizenry, it was like in todays times with children - children have no passports, they are written into passports of their parents. In civil legal systems or family legal systems the male's care of female was called specificaly - for example in Germany or Austrian codes its called authorisation. Becouse he should nave authorised every legal act she did - when she donated money, when she buy something for their children, when she was called before court as a witness, when she wanted to have a bank account, or when she wanted to travel - it was all obligated to get males authorisation, as if women were kids :) And males were responsible for the acts of females - legaly, including that males were responsible for protecting their females phisicaly against attack. Including the honor of women. Thats why there were duels in those times. We should remember that males were also punished legaly if not protecting womens of their family. Esp the males from those classes who could wore the weapons (swords, spades). Thats why the citizenry of female (her rights) was in the care of males citizens. What we today know as general "human's rights" up to the end of 19th century were gathered into cathegory of "citizens rights"of your own country only. So you should not expected that another country gives you the same amount of rights as your homeland. For example when you are traveler, or war fugitive, or war prisoner. And treason of a wife was punishable harshly becouse she didnt cheated only her private husband - she was traitor of a responsible - for her - citizen, she was traitor toward a kind of legal/social officer who maintained her and authorised her buissness. She was under his legal care. And as he was a citizen given obligations toward his country she was given obligations toward him as citizen. And IMHO thats why every "fallen" girl in a family was "taint" for the honor of such family. Becouse if one of them can do it, so such family is not trustful and they could have more of such unresponsible girls between them :) Its not about stupid customs of old times, its about that stupid customs of prejudice toward such families were generated BECOUSE it was real danger that our son can be married into such family with a person of proclivities toward crime - "petit treason" was a crime in legal codes. So women who were seen as not faithful, or women who could be unfaithful were shunned from family and from society. It was not stupid, it was like... prevetion of becoming too close with possible criminal. :)
@@TallisKeeton Though it may all seem harsh to our modern sensibilities, it worked for them and kept our species moving forward and procreating. Families stayed together. The majority of children weren't being raised by single parents. etc. obviously one fallen sister would seem to indicate a loose morality in the upbringing or household and a warning to the nobility to not risk trying to raise your children and build your life with such a partner. It would be risk mitigation.
@@nealm6764 Sometimes we dont understand that older customs whcih we deem as unjust or stupid were also effects of different laws or social situations or religious believes of which we dont have today much knowledge, we only see in popculture or remember from school or from novels or from movies smt like a tip of the iceberg, while the iceberg was bigger near its roots :) When I wrote M.A. of legal history from such topics like these I understood better that our understanding about women's status in pre-modern cultures (not only European cultures) is maintained by popculture like movies and becouse of this we can see only it in narrow view as only a domination of males rights over females rights, but we can not see that most of it got also reasons in law, and in culture and in ideals of society. We are bombed by views about older times as only unjast toward women but it was more complicated than that most of the time. for example punishments and obligations toward women were high in Prussian legal code of 18 th century BUT there was no other legal code of Europe at this time in which women was more cared for as mothers, as workers, and as wifes. I m sure that modern politics or ideologies want to see only this one aspect of the situation of women in those times - only the bad things, they dont like to know that there were also obligations toward women - from the side of country, from the side of church, from the side of husband or parents or even siblings and neighbours. I m sure they dont want to propagate it becouse it collides with their main narration of bad status of women - any time before 20th century. While the legal status of women was different depending on country, age, culture and religion. For example in Russian civil code (18 or 19 century dont remember precisely) there was a part of the code which was sort of villages code, based on old customs of plebs, of villages. And in this code there was a punishment of flaggelation with birch twigs for a woman who well, being wife but, lets say it this way... become too easily accecible for other men :) BUT if the village officials got informed that her accuser (for example a neighbour) was falsely accusing her - HE got this punishment :)
Actually, woman could inherit a property. (Like how Lady Catherine owns a property) It’s just that their land (Bennet’s land) was entailed to the male heir. Mr. Bennet can change who will inherit the land BUT he already signed it probably when he was younger. He was probably forced into agreeing to that rules by his father or maybe it didn’t occur him that he might’ve not produce a male heir. If the Bennet sisters end up having a brother, he could change the rules of the entailed from “passing it down to strictly to the male heir” to “passing it down to the first born either they’re male or female” something like that. Woman could inherit a land but once she gets married, her property and everything she owns would be handed over to her husband. There’s actually a way that she could protect her property so that when her husband die, she could still keep her land like Lady Catherine but I will not get into that because it’s hard to explain. I suggest that y’all should watch Ellie Dashwood talk about entails. I’m not so sure about some details of what I’ve but I’m sure that woman could inherit a land
@@hana3703 Are we entirely certain Lady Catherine owns Rosings? It may be owned by her brother the Earl and she is allowed to hold residence there. I will check out your source, but my understanding is that lines of inheritance went through male heirs. Which is why Mr. Collins will inherit the estate. Either way the point still stands in regards to preparing someone for the film. They need to understand that the Bennet's estate passes to the next male heir, by law. I believe after Jane is married the estate will now pass down to Charles Bingley, so they won't have to worry about being thrown out like with Mr. Collins inheriting it. Jane and Charles will simply allow the mother and any unmarried daughters (Mary probably) to live out their lives there. Which is why the mother exclaimed "We are saved!!!!"
I'm so grateful for this! Thank you, Kemi. This was a brilliant reaction and i love your commentary so much. I enjoyed all over again all the feels i had when i first watched. It's a movie i rewatch all the time and i'm happy you've liked. Happy Easter!
Girl, welcome to the wonderful world that is Jane Austen! The 1995 miniseries is the best Pride and Prejudice adaptation, IMO, but this one is good, as well. As others have said, the 1995 Sense and Sensibility with Kate Winslet and Emma Thompson is also exceptional, and I highly recommend the 2020 version of Emma with Anya Taylor-Joy. There's also a lovely 1995 version of Austen's Persuasion, which is very un-Hollywood compared to the others.
I agree with everything except for Emma. I very much prefer the BBC version of Emma. It took me a little while to get used to Romola Garai, but the production is fabulous.
@@StevesTubes To each his own. Emma is the only one of the 4 oft-adapted Austen novels that I don't feel has a definitive adaptation. There's a lot I like about the miniseries and the 4 hours certainly helps the story, but I love the energy and visual comedy of the 2020 version. It's funnier each time I watch it, and I have to pull out a fan during that ballroom scene. They also didn't try to soften Emma's snobbishness like in Romola Garai's portrayal (although I do like how Garai played up Emma's naïveté). I never cared for Gwyneth Paltrow's affected portrayal, though Jeremy Northam is a great Knightley and Sophie Thompson may still be my favorite Miss Bates. The 1996 version is just so sappy.
@@30goals North and South, most definitely! I'm partial to the 2011 Jane Eyre, but the miniseries is also really good, especially Ruth Wilson's performance. I just don't love how so much of the language is modernized.
You have the best reaction to this film!! I love your rant about Lady Catherine and then 👀 as Darcy is strolling through the field in the morning mist. 😊 And I love your smile and long pause at the end as you absorb the magic of this movie. 💕
Oh my, I do love this soundtrack. I can listen to it on repeat for hours. Maybe not the most faithful adaptation, but still a wonderful rendition of P&P. So glad you got to see it.
Have to echo those people saying Sense and Sensibility is worth a reaction. Just thoroughly enjoyed your joyful reaction to this. If you liked this, Sense and Sensibility you will definitely love. Thanks for the lovely video.
I'm halfway through this movie with you. I love watching reactions to P and P, just so I can see the scenes over and over, but most of the reactors miss out on so much - they don't get it, but YOU get every nuance, every zinger, every plot line. Nothing has escaped your sharp observations, and this is so much fun. Your reactions are so fun! Loving this.
I have to take Darcy's side in stating how "unsuitable" the Bennets are to be involved with him, even though he didn't handle it very feelingly. He has a huge estate and name to uphold which comes with hundreds of people who earn their living on the Darcy property and because of his status he will also have some influence in regional politics etc. To marry beneath his status is very risky. He could lose all of that which would not only mean social ruin for him but also for his sister and the decline of the estate and Darcy name. So yeah. Love isn't everything. The daughter of Lady Catherine and Darcy were "promised" to each other since their birth. It was pretty common back then to make family alliances through marriages and enrich high-ranking families. So actually Darcy was supposed to marry her and Lady Catherine was in her way "in the right" (Though of course she is horrible). There are actually books written about who told Lady Catherine that Darcy fancied Lizzie. But the most logical thing to me is, that Charlotte talked about her observations to her husband and he - out of spite because Lizzie rejected him, or because he is so devoted to Lady Catherine - told her.
But the Bennets are NOT below his status. They are he same status, landed gentry. It’s just the Bennets are less wealthy than Darcy. The Bingley’s on the other hand are a step below the Bennets in status but more wealthy because they are from the mercantile class. They do not have any land and that is why Bingley is renting Netherfield.
I love, love, love, love LOVE your movie reactions. I don't watch the ones of movies I haven't seen and I kinda wish I could. LOL One thing to note. Jane Austen (who wrote the book this and many other movies are based on) wrote at a time where doctors never examined their female patients that closely because it was deemend "unseemly", right? This is also a time where they still believed most diseases stemmed from either miasma (aka bad smells) or unbalanced "humours" in the blood (so blood-letting with unsanitized instruments to cure fevers, etc.). They certainly didn't have antibiotics. So people did die of the common cold. Mrs Bennet's idea to send Jane on horseback during a rainstorm is funny because Jane recovered, but she was more or less lucky to survive, really.
Loved your reaction. This is my favourite romantic movie. It's just so beautiful on so many levels. The scenes, the music, their love....and of course Mr Darcy 😜😍
Omg I LOVED your reaction to this, one of my all time favorite movies. I really appreciate you pausing and analyzing each scene and giving your thoughts on everything. I subbed for more reactions!
As a big fan of Jane Austen I recommend Emma with Ramola Garai, it’s fantastic adaptation although it’s in a few episodes. Also Persuasion is great but more serious. Love you girl
I think out of all the people I watched that seen this for the 1st time I enjoyed your reactions and points on this movie. You so get this. You had some good insight on Darcy. Thank you. 💕 I really think when Darcy showed up at the house that he was going to tell her his feelings. With Charlotte there he couldn’t freely tell her his thoughts.
that movie is a recipe for the perfect love movie. i wish more movies had the same vibe. the misunderstandings and pride and the time period too is just so magical. the shots with the light and nature really give light to the movie too it´s all perfect
5 daughters: Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Lydia and Catherine, called Kitty. In those days, a lot of unmarried girls to try to get settled. Not to mention the fact that Longbourn, the family home, through entail, could only be passed on to the next closest male relative, their cousin, Mr. Collins, a pompous, ridiculous little man who is the vicar at Rosings, the estate of Darcy’s aunt, Lady Catherine De Bourgh.
You Crack me up calling the PALACE BALL a "barn dance". 😂😂 these were the wealthiest of the wealthy. 😅😅😅❤❤ this is my favorite movie ever. Glad you experienced it🥰
In the original theatrical ending with the British release, you just see Donald Sutherland pleased for Lizzy in his library after giving her his blessing. The end scene between Lizzy & Darcey was added to the North American release.
One of mull-time favourite romance movies. The book is a classic and well worth reading also. Matthew McFayden was brilliant in this as Mr Darcy. So soft and gentle but with a scowl of momentous proportions when uncomfortable. If you want to see another movie with him in it that is truly brilliant, watch Death at a Funeral (2007 version). It’s a comedy but a brilliant one and I know you will love both the film and him in it.
I'm in LOVE with the great actor Matthew Mcfedyen and his voice, his eyes. Great movie and acting, inolvidable. I still get nervious when i saw the part of...you have bewitched me, body and soul with that voice 😅😅❤❤
Jane Austen, had a beloved sister with whom she shared everything like in the story she wrote but in reality they never got married and had live after the kindness of relatives in a small room till Jane died at 40. I feel like this book is dedicated to her sister, to the good ending they wished to have had. This is why it's so good, there's so much of their life, dreams and wishes in it.
This was such a LOVELY reaction! I love that you pause the movie to fully absorb and process what you just watched. I love that you pick up the subtle details. Can you please watch Anna Karenina (2012) with the same lead actress and same director? It's SOOOO good, basically almost like Pride and Prejudice, but NO one has reacted to it on youtube.
Your review was everything I experienced almost every time I’ve watched it since this version came out. The tears, the angst, the giddiness, the smiles- thanks for reminding us all why we love it so much!!!❤
I loved your reaction so much, you're so attentive to details. You really tried to understand the motivation behind every act and interaction and understood the specific norms of the time, when the story takes place. This is so rare, people really tend to judge this story from a standpoint of modern western views. And I love how you were engaged emotionally. Great reaction, thank you❤️
Not even finished with the video and I had to comment. I LOVE your reaction. First of all, your voice is so pretty, it has a wonderful soft spoken and elegant charm. Your giggling and squealing at the iconic hand holding scene was perfect. IT was just the reaction the scene warrants. As I type I am laughing so hard at you immediately sit straight up at attention when Darcy has barged into Charlotte's home to talk to Lizzy.
This was a long reaction, but one of the best I have seen. I love how you took notes during the movie. I don't know if someone has already mention this in the comments, but it was proper etiquette for a man to stand when a lady entered the room. That is why you see Mr. Darcy jumping to his feet all the time. On a side note, Talulah Riley is the actress who played Mary, the quiet and plain sister. She was married to Elon Musk, twice!

My movie suggestion to react : Atonement (2007)
It's another movie by Joe Wright starring Keira Knightley, James McAvoy, Saoirse Ronan
The book describes how almost immediately after Darcy said she wasn’t good looking enough to tempt him, he started thinking about how pretty her eyes were and how nice her figure was and I laugh every time I read it
He's just so dumb! He's falling madly in love without even noticing!
I absolutely love how the thing he loves about her eyes is how dark they are, and how they flash with intelligence during an argument. We love an adoring and argumentative king.
I read the book for the first time a few years ago and it was just as wonderful as I imagined. My top 5 favorite of all time.
The way you stopped mid-sentence when you saw Darcy walking across the field.
It was great because I was shouting "stop talking about the aunt! Look who is coming!!" and then.. she stoped ☺👍
@@griesi31 I was like "Yeah, he has that effect on people." :))
Mr. Darcy, a 6'3" superstructure, had that determined walk through the moors that said if he had not found Lizzy in the garden, then he was certainly going to the house (even if he had to get her out bed) to have his proposal answered once for all. I would say that his second proposal was completely different from the first. He really put everything he emotionally had left into it.
Girl you looked as if Mr.Darcy were coming to propose to you 😂 I love it. I think Matthew Macfadyen has such warm looking eyes that you can’t help but feel drawn to the character.
Warm? He looks like a forlorn puppy someone kicked out in the rain. That doesn't do it for me.
I like vulnerable men@@valkyriesardo278
Didn't we all?🤣🤣🤣🤣
When Mr. Darcy shows up unexpectedly at Charlotte's home, and no one else was there, he was trying to "practice" social skills. But he realized as soon as Elizabeth said Charlotte and Mr. Collins were not home, that it was inappropriate for him to be in the house.
And I always had a feeling he came to profess his love but chickened out:)
@Margo Kms , and notice that every time she had a complaint against him, or a suggestion for his improvement, he showed her he was trying to improve. And you may be correct. I think he already knew he loved her by that time.
@@MargoKms same! He looks so scared and he's clearly barely taking in what Lizzie is saying. I think in the movie they almost imply he wanted to be along to profess his love and then runs off when Charlotte returns
in the book he had sat with her and started conversing...at some point he realized he had started to lean close towards her because he was so engaged in the conversation and he checked himself...it was so funny how he was reading more than there is to it in their conversation...in Darcy's head at that point they were basically engaged hahahaha
Your silence at the end, with you fanning yourself! 😂 Same, girl. Same.
Haha, YES. This!
Yesss.
You guys should look for the haggen daas ice cream commercial with the actor who played Darcy, Matthew McFadden oooooh mmmyyy
Agreed! Fanning oneself and smiling like a smitten schoolgirl for a solid minute after watching this movie is such a mood 🥰
33:01 I think most of us were expecting them to kiss, but Darcy holding back and respecting her when she denied him just made it better 😭❤
WHEN YOU HAD TO WHIP OUT THE FAN!!!! The way I hollered and screamed. That reaction alone was nearly as good as the very scene itself.
"Once it's raining just take me" - lol, favorite part
LOL
You are one of the few reacters on RUclips who really understood the context of the times without actually having informed yourself to the context. I’ve seen soo many reactions on here and they’re all commenting on things with this day and age’s morals so a LOT of things go way above their heads. You’re also one of the few who doubted Whickam’s story without reading the book prior, so that was awesome as well. I loved this video. Good job
p.s. I'm so thankful to see someone UNDERSTAND this story, its place in history etc. You totally understood. You are educated about historical circumstances, about facts, everything. I can't watch people watching this movie, they're acting like they just fell from Mars and have no knowledge of human history ever. Thank you again for this sweet, so rational and I dare say wise reaction. You're great.
Very kind of you to say
@ScenecrlyK.S.O. she's so right tho, I've seen other reactions from people who are not able to understand that there's a lot about the story that can't be taken out of the context of the time period, and to see you just *get it* was really neat
💯 agree
100x☝️…if you take it in todays context you would be lost and wonder why people act the way they do and say the things they said. But to realize the difference in the time is to truly appreciate everything about this whole story. And I have to say, when Darcy walks across that lawn it was enough to stop my heart and it does so every time I see it! It was great to see you take a pause too❤
I have see a few reactions and had to stop watching because they spoke during the movie as opposed to stopping and discussing it-I really felt as if I was watching with a friend who appreciated it as much as I do!
I love that u picked up on all the subtle things between mr darcy and elizabeth right from the very beginning. A lot of people miss the subtle hints between the two that show their feelings for one another but u picked up on all of it! Sometimes it's frustrating to watch reactions to this movie cuz a lot of people don't notice things so it was nice to watch your reaction since u saw all of it and u reacted just how i do when i watch this movie!
I don't know if anyone has said it, but Elizabeth certainly was judging Charlotte for her decision. She never took seriously the differences in their prospects or their views on marriage, and for some months she thought lesser of Charlotte for doing what she did. She eventually "forgave" her because she missed her friend, but that still implies that Charlotte did something wrong. As Charlotte said in the film, "not all of us can afford to be romantic", which was more true at the time than now. Elizabeth, from a more privileged place in both looks and money, really couldn't understand her.
So true. It's one of the reasons I love Elizabeth so much though, she's such a flawed character.
It gives similar energy to when Penelope says “not everyone can be a pretty Bridgerton” to Eloise.
I love Jane's reaction in the BBC version when she tells Lizzie she must allow for differences in situation and temper. That Collins isn't vicious and he will give Charlotte a comfortable home. But I also think that Lizzie wasn't actually judging Charlotte, she thought she was too good for Collins and deserved better. Yes, she was forgetting that Charlotte wouldn't be able to find better given her class and age, but there's a difference between judging her for her choices and feeling angry that she's settling for a man like Collins.
@@mamaseesa3122 I believe I read somewhere too that she was hurt because she thought Charlotte would hold out for love (and had expressed she would) but ultimately couldn't pass up the safety Collins would provide. It was a betrayal of a sort in her eyes.
@@tticusFinch Yes. But as her friend, she should have respected her decision, which she didn't...
This is one of the beat reactions to this movie I have ever seen. I love that you see the subtleness of their actions and affections.
Yes! Totally understand you needing a fan! 🔥🔥
My most favorite movie ever. The heavy sexual tension without any kiss or sex is just perfect, and Matthew Mcfadyen as Mr. Darcy ruined it for every other man in terms of stealing my heart 🥰☺
And it was a pleasure to see you feel the same reacting to this movie ☺👍
LMAO YES. They had me sweating over a hand hold i caaaant
The hand touch scene is *iconic!* That little shake it off flex! 🤣🥰
The British 'class' system at this time was a very serious thing. It was almost viewed as law and to step outside of it, could end in being cast out of 'society'. To marry out of your class was unthinkable. Also, young teenagers are the same then and now, they are not mature enough to make great life decisions. I love this book, and have watched every film version of it, this one might be my favourite because of Matthew MacFadyen, there, I've said it, lol.
Who married outside of their class?
Lizzie was not outside of Darcy's class, however.
@@jonathanparks207 Jane KIND OF did. The Bingleys were new money rich. They made their fortune in trade, which wasn't considered genteel, and they also didn't own land. The Bennets were landed gentry and from old money, so technically Jane was socially higher than the Bingleys, even though her family had less money. Lizzie and Darcy are in the same social, class, though, but because of the difference in their wealth and the fact that Darcy was related to nobility, he was at the higher end of the scale. Dr. Octavia Cox does a fantastic breakdown about the class differences- along with a ton of other really interesting breakdowns of Jane Austen's novels.
@@HuntingViolets Mr. Darcy brings up their difference in station when he first proposes marriage to Elizabeth.
You are by far and away the most observant reactor of this film on RUclips. What fun it is to watch you be so deeply moved. It was wonderful to see you laugh and cry, and hear your insightful comments. You were spot on in so many of your observations. May this story keep bringing you joy as it does to us!
"I'm not built for that era." same girl, same lol
I can see why Darcy and Mr. Bingley are such good friends. Outwardly, they may appear as total opposites. However, their personalities are quite similar. They’re both just as shy and socially awkward. It explains the cold feet they both had before proposing to the ladies who caught their hearts. Though Bingley seems more cheerful and happy-go-lucky, when you get to know Darcy, he’s just the same. You can clearly see that he possessed the same lighthearted cheerfulness when he was around his sister.
Good observation. I think a lot of the most solid relationships (romantic or familial or platonic) are between people who are similar deep down, but have surface differences. It’s a nice balance of being different enough to compliment each other, but similar enough to understand each other.
Girl, I giggled right along with you during this reaction! LOL ...this is one of my favorite movies, not only cause its cast and story but THE MUSIC!!! The soundtrack is so good! And can I just say how blue Matthew's eyes are (Mr. Darcy) *sigh*
This is so refreshing, there are so few people that are new to Jane Austen and this Era of literature that truly understand the delicacies and gentle suggestions. You understood and explained it perfectly.
You're so welcome!
I can’t see a foggy meadow without thinking about Mr. Darcy walking through that mist 😅😅😍
My favorite part was when you were discussing the aunt and then Darcy walked onto the screen and you just froze! Loved it.
My Favorite film. The actor - Matthew Macfadyen - is incredibly handsome. 😏😍🥰
Best reaction to this movie that I have seen, girl! You really got these characters and your reactions are everything!
The way you said “what he’s done” with Lizzy at 54:32 was so sweet!
Thank you so much - I truly felt connected to her defence for him.
When you pulled out that fan! So adorable. I love how insightful you are, figuring out everyone's motives and ideas. You should read the book now, to see how the characters are developed a bit differently. I'm sure you'll fall in love with Darcy all over again.
Giggles and excitement are priceless to see! They are contagious!
You're the BEST reaction channel. You're so smart and observant. You're the only channel where i don't find myself screaming at the screen in frustration
Very kind of you to say
And so true!!! You and Cinema Therapy are the only reaction channels I can watch without being annoyed and frustrated but being entertained and happy bc especially you are so sweet and lovely and smart and and and... I'm happy I found your channel ❤
You would absolutely love Elizabeth Gaskell's 'North and South', the 2004 version with Richard Armitage and Daniela Denby-Ashe. My favourite go to beside this version of Pride and Prejudice.
I read somewhere that the Bennetts farm provided about $150,000 a year income, wheras Mr Bingley's estates produce about $300,000 wheras Pemberly produced $850,000 per year in income. Which is why Mr Darcey was the catch of the day.
“I’m not build for this era” same same 😂
When you broke out the fan I started laughing, you're so funny.
“You have bewitched me, body and soul” swwwwwwooooon 🏆
Ahh... you didn't include Mr Bennet's reaction when he understood Elizabeth loves Mr Darcy...
Donald Sutherland nailed that, in my opinion.
Omg your reaction is sweetest ever!! You understand what's going on and you're so sweet I can't even... Thank you!
😊 thank you
I love this 2005 version of Pride and Prejudice along with the 1995 miniseries version! I think the close adaption to the novel I have read is the 1995 miniseries one. But I do love this one too only because of Judi Dench portraying Lady Catherine de Bourgh, the 1995 miniseries, O my goodness they have the best actor to play Cousin William Collins! I think both Matthew MacFadyen and Colin Firth played Mr. Darcy very well! Kudos to the viewer who suggested this one for you! Love Jane Austin stories made into these movies! I set my reminder and I am sure this is going to be another great reaction too! ☮💕
Oh, yes. I’ve watched every adaptation of P&P out there. Nothing compares to 1995 Mr.Collins! And I think I also prefer 1995’s Mr. and Mrs. Bennet. And Kitty and Lydia.
And it’s a shame that this(2005) version scarcely showed Mr. Wickham. They chose such a handsome actor but didn’t leave him enough room to display his manipulative charms and how much time he spent with the Bennet sisters.
But this was still a charming adaptation. And the tension between Keira Knightly and the actor who plays Darcy is just….whew, it makes Hell feel like the North Pole!
My mind gets so confused when a lovely actor is portraying an unlikable character. Mr Collins seems like a nightmare to be around (let alone marry), but on the other hand I absolutely adore Tom Hollander...
Matthew McFadyen is my favorite Darcy….ever! Everyone talks about Colin Firth, but to me he is just so brittle and harsh as Darcy. In this film, Matthew McFadyen portrays him with an under layer of such sweet shyness and vulnerability. I adore his eyes! The scene where Darcy proposes to Elizabeth in the pouring rain, at the folly, is one of my all-time favorite movie scenes ever. Their closeness, the rain on his lips, just very beautiful and erotic without any touching or even a kiss. Brilliant!
I agree. Although the 1995 mini series is my all time favorite P&P on screen depiction, I’ve always thought that Colin Firth played Darcy as more of a rude and condescending man than the socially awkward, taciturn yet good hearted character he’s supposed to be. But I will admit that the infamous pond scene was…well, nice to see!
The problem is Darcy WAS harsh. McFadyen is too puppyish and boy-like in this.
@@stefannydvorak7919 The thing is, this is how Darcy is supposed to be, he isn't socially awkward, he is a proud man, so, even tho Matthew's portrayal is more endearing and releatable he is straying a bit from the real Darcy ..wich is understanble, if you are doing your version of a well knwon character you need to bring something fresh to it, otherwise why do it at all
@@samantharamos276 Perhaps it’s because English isn’t my first language (and I knew even less English when I first read P&P than I do now) but in my mind, Darcy was kind of like a mix between the 1995 version and the 2005 version.
A man who is prideful and judges others based on his prejudiced worldview. And who’s social awkwardness really comes out when he is taken out of his comfort zone.
His comfort zone being the strict late 18th/early 19th century social etiquette and classes.
@@stefannydvorak7919 very good and accurate assessment. I love it! I think you caught him exactly!
I totally FELL for Matthew Macfadyen’s Darcy 💘 But maybe I love more your reactions!! 😂💘
I really enjoyed this reaction - I love seeing women react to the hand touch by the carriage! I love this film and had my mum watch it with me for the first time on valentine's day this year, needless to say she fell for Mr. Darcy the way we all do. There's a great film called Becoming Jane, which is about Jane Austen's life, you might enjoy it as she's quite a bit like Lizzy and you can see where the inspiration for Mr. Darcy came from.
Glad you enjoyed it
"Mrs. Darcy".....I was right there with you at the end...no words...just bliss, and swooning! I love your reaction to this classic love story! ❤
So good!
Watching you giggle and fan yourself throughout the movie: Same, girl, same. I remember when this movie came out I went to see it with my roommate and we were giggling and giddy for HOURS afterwards. :D
Also, I love your ongoing analysis - you are very good at picking up on pertinent details and foreshadowing!
GUUUUUUURL OMG 😆😆 I think this is probably going to top the list of one of my all-time favorite reactions ever!!!
Omg this has been one of my all-time favorite films since I first saw it originally and I’ve seen pretty much every adaptation of this novel but this one is my absolute most favorite. I do love the BBC version but this one just takes it to a whole new level it’s just so amazingly beautiful and epic and romantic and I need to find my Mr. Darcy I mean where is my Mr. Darcy?!?! We all need a Mr. Darcy LOL & that scene at the end where he was walking across the field in that lovely morning mist is just the most beautiful thing I think I’ve ever seen💜
but I could feel every emotion you were feeling the whole reaction because yeah that tension you can cut it with a knife it was so thick😆😆
Anyway now you need to watch the other Jane Austen adaptation of Sense and Sensibility from 1995 with Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman (he’s a good guy in this one) it is another one that is just absolutely beautiful and you will not regret it.
Yes! Like you, even though I 💕 Colin Firth, I am just more partial to Matthew and the movie version. She should do Sense and Sensibility as these two movies are my faves and brought me out of my "tough girl all action/horror" phase. 😂😂😂
The thing is, if Collins had actually looked closer he could have seen how much more compatible Mary was with him, being the more serious and shy daughter, and she actually seemed to sympathize a bit with him. Could have saved both himself and Elizabeth a lot of stress.
Your reaction to the Hand Touch was adorable and relatable!
I know everyone has their favorite Austen adaptations, but my favorite is Persuasion (1995). It’s not really talked about very much, but it’s a brilliant film conveying a tremendous amount just through small moments, and the actors are top notch.
I love Persuasion because it's the most mature love story among her novels, and the characters so well developed.
Persuasion is my second favorite Austen. I think it's a great second chance romance, but for some reason Mary is my favorite character. I can't explain it and I wouldn't want to be around her all the time, but I enjoy her in every adaptation. Not Netflix's adaptation, but all the others.
I love this one too.
Yes. And the older I get the more I appreciate the maturity of the story in Persuasion. While I do really enjoy the movie version that you indicated, I appreciate the book even more. The prose is just so beautiful. And the development of the main character Anne throughout the story is absolutely lovely.
Absolutely loved this reaction! I highly recommend the book. Jane Austen’s witty dialogue and social commentary is a joy to read or listen to. If you’re someone who doesn’t like to take the time to sit down the book, I would recommend the audio version. The actress who plays Jane in this version of the movie narrates one of the audio versions of this book. And she does a wonderful job.
@55:15
I should also aquire a large hand fan for myself so that whenever a romantic novel or romantic film becomes a bit steamy, I can fan myself while the piano melody of Gymnopédie No.1 by Erik Satie plays in the background.
Good one my Darling... good one.
I’ve been obsessed with this movie and you took us all along on your journey. It was like I saw it for the first time! Thank you so much for your reaction 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
Everyone loves that hand moment, like he just held her hand but my cheeks heat up every time 🤣😭
This my fav romantic film, I love her character, strong smart lead lady.
Their are many film versions of Pride & Prejudice, but this was the best in my opinion. It earned a Best Picture nomination at the 2006 Oscars, and you can’t go wrong with the 2 leads…Darcy, Darcy, Darcy ! 😆
Sorry, but it didn't get a best picture nomination. Keira did get a best actress nomination though :)
It did earn four nominations at the Oscars that year though. It was also nominated 59 times for various other film awards with 13 wins, and it did win the Empire Award (UK) for Best British Film.❤️ I wonder how the academy would have voted that year had they had any inkling and if they had known how much this film would absolutely live on, and catch fire in millions of hearts, with a worldwide following of people who will watch practically anything to do with this 2005 Pride and Prejudice film adaptation to this day! We are many and we are ardent. (And yes, I've read the book (published 1813) four times and still I love, I love, I love this version and wish never to be parted from it. It has bewitched me, body and soul.)
Oh, this will be good.
Just a couple things to understand historically about this time period, that you kind of need to know to understand everything in the story:
1. Women could not inherit property. Property was passed down to the nearest male heir.
2. A "fallen" sister would taint the entire family and make the other sisters unmarriable to nobility.
1. women could not inherit real property, but the movable things esp after their own mothers or other female relatives they could, but not houses, farms etc...
2. yes :)
My own theory why it was like this with the "fallen" sister - it could be becouse at this time there was "high treason" - a treason of country/king/state and there was also "petit treason" - a treason of husband by his wife. which was also pubishable drasticaly. Though the level of punish was different depending on legal systems of a country and times. At the worst moment (AFAIR 17 or 18 century) the legal system in England punishes wife by burning at the stake, like witches. The milder punishes meant divorcing her by banishing her on the street without any property and taking off her children also - eliminating her mothers rights. Why it was like this? Becouse in most of European legal systems up to late 19 century woman citizenry was a derivate of men citizenry, thats why her father, and later husband or adult son or other male from her family was her caretaker. In legal status most women in such countries as England, France (Napoleonic Code), Austria, Prussia, Russia got no their own citizenry, it was like in todays times with children - children have no passports, they are written into passports of their parents. In civil legal systems or family legal systems the male's care of female was called specificaly - for example in Germany or Austrian codes its called authorisation. Becouse he should nave authorised every legal act she did - when she donated money, when she buy something for their children, when she was called before court as a witness, when she wanted to have a bank account, or when she wanted to travel - it was all obligated to get males authorisation, as if women were kids :) And males were responsible for the acts of females - legaly, including that males were responsible for protecting their females phisicaly against attack. Including the honor of women. Thats why there were duels in those times. We should remember that males were also punished legaly if not protecting womens of their family. Esp the males from those classes who could wore the weapons (swords, spades). Thats why the citizenry of female (her rights) was in the care of males citizens. What we today know as general "human's rights" up to the end of 19th century were gathered into cathegory of "citizens rights"of your own country only. So you should not expected that another country gives you the same amount of rights as your homeland. For example when you are traveler, or war fugitive, or war prisoner. And treason of a wife was punishable harshly becouse she didnt cheated only her private husband - she was traitor of a responsible - for her - citizen, she was traitor toward a kind of legal/social officer who maintained her and authorised her buissness. She was under his legal care. And as he was a citizen given obligations toward his country she was given obligations toward him as citizen. And IMHO thats why every "fallen" girl in a family was "taint" for the honor of such family. Becouse if one of them can do it, so such family is not trustful and they could have more of such unresponsible girls between them :) Its not about stupid customs of old times, its about that stupid customs of prejudice toward such families were generated BECOUSE it was real danger that our son can be married into such family with a person of proclivities toward crime - "petit treason" was a crime in legal codes. So women who were seen as not faithful, or women who could be unfaithful were shunned from family and from society. It was not stupid, it was like... prevetion of becoming too close with possible criminal. :)
@@TallisKeeton Though it may all seem harsh to our modern sensibilities, it worked for them and kept our species moving forward and procreating. Families stayed together. The majority of children weren't being raised by single parents. etc.
obviously one fallen sister would seem to indicate a loose morality in the upbringing or household and a warning to the nobility to not risk trying to raise your children and build your life with such a partner.
It would be risk mitigation.
@@nealm6764 Sometimes we dont understand that older customs whcih we deem as unjust or stupid were also effects of different laws or social situations or religious believes of which we dont have today much knowledge, we only see in popculture or remember from school or from novels or from movies smt like a tip of the iceberg, while the iceberg was bigger near its roots :) When I wrote M.A. of legal history from such topics like these I understood better that our understanding about women's status in pre-modern cultures (not only European cultures) is maintained by popculture like movies and becouse of this we can see only it in narrow view as only a domination of males rights over females rights, but we can not see that most of it got also reasons in law, and in culture and in ideals of society. We are bombed by views about older times as only unjast toward women but it was more complicated than that most of the time. for example punishments and obligations toward women were high in Prussian legal code of 18 th century BUT there was no other legal code of Europe at this time in which women was more cared for as mothers, as workers, and as wifes. I m sure that modern politics or ideologies want to see only this one aspect of the situation of women in those times - only the bad things, they dont like to know that there were also obligations toward women - from the side of country, from the side of church, from the side of husband or parents or even siblings and neighbours. I m sure they dont want to propagate it becouse it collides with their main narration of bad status of women - any time before 20th century. While the legal status of women was different depending on country, age, culture and religion. For example in Russian civil code (18 or 19 century dont remember precisely) there was a part of the code which was sort of villages code, based on old customs of plebs, of villages. And in this code there was a punishment of flaggelation with birch twigs for a woman who well, being wife but, lets say it this way... become too easily accecible for other men :) BUT if the village officials got informed that her accuser (for example a neighbour) was falsely accusing her - HE got this punishment :)
Actually, woman could inherit a property. (Like how Lady Catherine owns a property) It’s just that their land (Bennet’s land) was entailed to the male heir. Mr. Bennet can change who will inherit the land BUT he already signed it probably when he was younger. He was probably forced into agreeing to that rules by his father or maybe it didn’t occur him that he might’ve not produce a male heir. If the Bennet sisters end up having a brother, he could change the rules of the entailed from “passing it down to strictly to the male heir” to “passing it down to the first born either they’re male or female” something like that.
Woman could inherit a land but once she gets married, her property and everything she owns would be handed over to her husband. There’s actually a way that she could protect her property so that when her husband die, she could still keep her land like Lady Catherine but I will not get into that because it’s hard to explain. I suggest that y’all should watch Ellie Dashwood talk about entails. I’m not so sure about some details of what I’ve but I’m sure that woman could inherit a land
@@hana3703 Are we entirely certain Lady Catherine owns Rosings? It may be owned by her brother the Earl and she is allowed to hold residence there.
I will check out your source, but my understanding is that lines of inheritance went through male heirs. Which is why Mr. Collins will inherit the estate.
Either way the point still stands in regards to preparing someone for the film. They need to understand that the Bennet's estate passes to the next male heir, by law.
I believe after Jane is married the estate will now pass down to Charles Bingley, so they won't have to worry about being thrown out like with Mr. Collins inheriting it.
Jane and Charles will simply allow the mother and any unmarried daughters (Mary probably) to live out their lives there.
Which is why the mother exclaimed "We are saved!!!!"
OMG Thank you so much! I couldn't be happier! I can't wait. I love this movie. The book, the series and the movie are great.
I’m so excited! My all time favorite movie 🎥
Congratulations, now you'll never ever forget about the hand scene and will giggle and swoon about it every time :D
KSO, you would love "Sense and Sensibility"!!!!
I'm so grateful for this! Thank you, Kemi. This was a brilliant reaction and i love your commentary so much. I enjoyed all over again all the feels i had when i first watched. It's a movie i rewatch all the time and i'm happy you've liked. Happy Easter!
I'm so glad!
Girl, welcome to the wonderful world that is Jane Austen! The 1995 miniseries is the best Pride and Prejudice adaptation, IMO, but this one is good, as well. As others have said, the 1995 Sense and Sensibility with Kate Winslet and Emma Thompson is also exceptional, and I highly recommend the 2020 version of Emma with Anya Taylor-Joy. There's also a lovely 1995 version of Austen's Persuasion, which is very un-Hollywood compared to the others.
The 1995 version of Persuasion is fabulous. The best imo.
I agree with everything except for Emma. I very much prefer the BBC version of Emma. It took me a little while to get used to Romola Garai, but the production is fabulous.
@@StevesTubes To each his own. Emma is the only one of the 4 oft-adapted Austen novels that I don't feel has a definitive adaptation. There's a lot I like about the miniseries and the 4 hours certainly helps the story, but I love the energy and visual comedy of the 2020 version. It's funnier each time I watch it, and I have to pull out a fan during that ballroom scene. They also didn't try to soften Emma's snobbishness like in Romola Garai's portrayal (although I do like how Garai played up Emma's naïveté). I never cared for Gwyneth Paltrow's affected portrayal, though Jeremy Northam is a great Knightley and Sophie Thompson may still be my favorite Miss Bates. The 1996 version is just so sappy.
you didnt mention it so a little psa - you'll want to watch the bbc version of Jane Eyre and the BBC version of North and South - thank me later!
@@30goals North and South, most definitely! I'm partial to the 2011 Jane Eyre, but the miniseries is also really good, especially Ruth Wilson's performance. I just don't love how so much of the language is modernized.
I love how when they first touch hands you’re like, “WAIT BUT GUYS THEIR HANDS TOUCHED” and I’m like girl we all get it 😂 such a moment 🥰
You have the best reaction to this film!! I love your rant about Lady Catherine and then 👀 as Darcy is strolling through the field in the morning mist. 😊 And I love your smile and long pause at the end as you absorb the magic of this movie. 💕
Thank you so much!!
Oh my, I do love this soundtrack. I can listen to it on repeat for hours. Maybe not the most faithful adaptation, but still a wonderful rendition of P&P. So glad you got to see it.
your reactions are the absolute best - you are as emotionally invested in movies as I was watching them hahaha it's great
Have to echo those people saying Sense and Sensibility is worth a reaction. Just thoroughly enjoyed your joyful reaction to this. If you liked this, Sense and Sensibility you will definitely love. Thanks for the lovely video.
I would recommend the BBC version over the movie though.
Oh, but the BBC doesn't have the best Colonel Brandon ever put to film. Alan Rickman makes me quiver when he gazes at Marianne. ❤❤❤
The fanning at the end!! Loved it.
I'm halfway through this movie with you. I love watching reactions to P and P, just so I can see the scenes over and over, but most of the reactors miss out on so much - they don't get it, but YOU get every nuance, every zinger, every plot line. Nothing has escaped your sharp observations, and this is so much fun. Your reactions are so fun! Loving this.
You are such a dear with your little fan ❤ thank you for sharing your joy
You are so kind
If you like the tension between Elizabeth & Mr. Darcy in this film, you’d love “Sense & Sensibility”. I think it was Jane Austen’s best work!
yes 🤗🤗🤗
The version with Emma Thompson, Hugh Grant .
OMG you react exactly the same way as I do to all the light things Darcy does. Im dead
OH
MY
GOD
Can't wait for this ♥
I love this movie so much
I have to take Darcy's side in stating how "unsuitable" the Bennets are to be involved with him, even though he didn't handle it very feelingly. He has a huge estate and name to uphold which comes with hundreds of people who earn their living on the Darcy property and because of his status he will also have some influence in regional politics etc. To marry beneath his status is very risky. He could lose all of that which would not only mean social ruin for him but also for his sister and the decline of the estate and Darcy name. So yeah. Love isn't everything.
The daughter of Lady Catherine and Darcy were "promised" to each other since their birth. It was pretty common back then to make family alliances through marriages and enrich high-ranking families. So actually Darcy was supposed to marry her and Lady Catherine was in her way "in the right" (Though of course she is horrible).
There are actually books written about who told Lady Catherine that Darcy fancied Lizzie. But the most logical thing to me is, that Charlotte talked about her observations to her husband and he - out of spite because Lizzie rejected him, or because he is so devoted to Lady Catherine - told her.
But the Bennets are NOT below his status. They are he same status, landed gentry. It’s just the Bennets are less wealthy than Darcy. The Bingley’s on the other hand are a step below the Bennets in status but more wealthy because they are from the mercantile class. They do not have any land and that is why Bingley is renting Netherfield.
I love, love, love, love LOVE your movie reactions. I don't watch the ones of movies I haven't seen and I kinda wish I could. LOL
One thing to note. Jane Austen (who wrote the book this and many other movies are based on) wrote at a time where doctors never examined their female patients that closely because it was deemend "unseemly", right? This is also a time where they still believed most diseases stemmed from either miasma (aka bad smells) or unbalanced "humours" in the blood (so blood-letting with unsanitized instruments to cure fevers, etc.). They certainly didn't have antibiotics. So people did die of the common cold. Mrs Bennet's idea to send Jane on horseback during a rainstorm is funny because Jane recovered, but she was more or less lucky to survive, really.
This was so fun.. sending you lots love and cuddles. HAVE A FABULOUS DAY DARLINGS xxx
Loved your reaction. This is my favourite romantic movie. It's just so beautiful on so many levels. The scenes, the music, their love....and of course Mr Darcy 😜😍
Notice the improvement in Lizzie’s pianoforte performance as the scene progresses💕
Omg I LOVED your reaction to this, one of my all time favorite movies. I really appreciate you pausing and analyzing each scene and giving your thoughts on everything. I subbed for more reactions!
I used to have a dog like the ones she holds at the first of this movie. An Italian Greyhound…
As a big fan of Jane Austen I recommend Emma with Ramola Garai, it’s fantastic adaptation although it’s in a few episodes. Also Persuasion is great but more serious. Love you girl
Persuasion is my favourite novel of JA, and then Pride and Prejudice!
I LOVED THIS SO MUCH!!!! Totally subscribing, you are soo awesome! I am totally loving your Harry Potter reactions too, you are the best!! :D
Thank you so much!!
I'm a guy, and this is the only "chick flick" romance movie I've ever purchased, b/c it's that dang good. It's an amazing movie.
Wow, her final reaction, at the very end... It's just precious! I think this is the only movie that let her speachless!
I think out of all the people I watched that seen this for the 1st time I enjoyed your reactions and points on this movie. You so get this. You had some good insight on Darcy. Thank you. 💕 I really think when Darcy showed up at the house that he was going to tell her his feelings. With Charlotte there he couldn’t freely tell her his thoughts.
that movie is a recipe for the perfect love movie. i wish more movies had the same vibe. the misunderstandings and pride and the time period too is just so magical. the shots with the light and nature really give light to the movie too it´s all perfect
5 daughters: Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Lydia and Catherine, called Kitty. In those days, a lot of unmarried girls to try to get settled. Not to mention the fact that Longbourn, the family home, through entail, could only be passed on to the next closest male relative, their cousin, Mr. Collins, a pompous, ridiculous little man who is the vicar at Rosings, the estate of Darcy’s aunt, Lady Catherine De Bourgh.
Oh yes, crush that pesky entail!
You Crack me up calling the PALACE BALL a "barn dance". 😂😂 these were the wealthiest of the wealthy. 😅😅😅❤❤ this is my favorite movie ever. Glad you experienced it🥰
In the original theatrical ending with the British release, you just see Donald Sutherland pleased for Lizzy in his library after giving her his blessing.
The end scene between Lizzy & Darcey was added to the North American release.
One of mull-time favourite romance movies. The book is a classic and well worth reading also. Matthew McFayden was brilliant in this as Mr Darcy. So soft and gentle but with a scowl of momentous proportions when uncomfortable. If you want to see another movie with him in it that is truly brilliant, watch Death at a Funeral (2007 version). It’s a comedy but a brilliant one and I know you will love both the film and him in it.
50:25 Did y'all know That scene there was improvised by the two gentleman actors of Darcy and Bingely!!! They did an incredible job!!! 👏 👏 👏
Love your reaction😊I suggest you react to Under the Tuscan sun ,I think you will enjoy it.
I'm in LOVE with the great actor Matthew Mcfedyen and his voice, his eyes. Great movie and acting, inolvidable. I still get nervious when i saw the part of...you have bewitched me, body and soul with that voice 😅😅❤❤
I just love at the very end your reaction. Your smile is beautiful and you just seem like a young girl excited and so happy. I'm glad you left it in
Jane Austen, had a beloved sister with whom she shared everything like in the story she wrote but in reality they never got married and had live after the kindness of relatives in a small room till Jane died at 40. I feel like this book is dedicated to her sister, to the good ending they wished to have had. This is why it's so good, there's so much of their life, dreams and wishes in it.
The fan is hilarious 😂
This was such a LOVELY reaction! I love that you pause the movie to fully absorb and process what you just watched. I love that you pick up the subtle details. Can you please watch Anna Karenina (2012) with the same lead actress and same director? It's SOOOO good, basically almost like Pride and Prejudice, but NO one has reacted to it on youtube.
Your review was everything I experienced almost every time I’ve watched it since this version came out. The tears, the angst, the giddiness, the smiles- thanks for reminding us all why we love it so much!!!❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
I think you’d like The Duchess too based off this reaction; one of my favourite movies (also with Kiera Knightley btw!)
I LOVE this movie! Such strong sexual tension without ANY sex at all. I am also in love with Mr. Darcy too!
You'd love the 1995 film Sense and Sensibility...so romantic
I loved your reaction so much, you're so attentive to details. You really tried to understand the motivation behind every act and interaction and understood the specific norms of the time, when the story takes place. This is so rare, people really tend to judge this story from a standpoint of modern western views. And I love how you were engaged emotionally. Great reaction, thank you❤️
Thank you so much!!
Not even finished with the video and I had to comment. I LOVE your reaction. First of all, your voice is so pretty, it has a wonderful soft spoken and elegant charm. Your giggling and squealing at the iconic hand holding scene was perfect. IT was just the reaction the scene warrants. As I type I am laughing so hard at you immediately sit straight up at attention when Darcy has barged into Charlotte's home to talk to Lizzy.
I absolutely adore this movie and this is one of the best reactions to it ever. lol
This was a long reaction, but one of the best I have seen. I love how you took notes during the movie. I don't know if someone has already mention this in the comments, but it was proper etiquette for a man to stand when a lady entered the room. That is why you see Mr. Darcy jumping to his feet all the time. On a side note, Talulah Riley is the actress who played Mary, the quiet and plain sister. She was married to Elon Musk, twice!
