Too be fair... 2005 is a good shortened version... where not everyone can sit down for 6hrs. I have read the book, read the annotated book too, many times both, seen the series many times... however 2005 has a succinctness that can get a non-period-drama person hooked, to want to explore more. 😊
@@chistkachistka6014 Truthfully our tendency to be easily trained to enjoy short form media holds with the statistic in our behavior. Six hour series isn't that long. It was never intended to be viewed in one stint. It was a periodic program. Additionally, Kiera Knightly, the supporting cast (including Mr. Darcy) were eminently forgettable in the 2005 version. So, while we love our short form media, binge watching the 1995 version is just wonderful.
@@chistkachistka6014 2005 has nothing to do with the original. They should call it "Mathhew and Keira fall in love in some weird pseudo-Georgian era settings". You can think that it was a good Austen adaptation only if you have not read the novel and have no knowledge of history whatsoever
well if we are talking about the English-speaking adaptation of an English book - definitely. There are many other languages, books and movies, you know :)) You just have no way to be aquainted to them. And no, English literature is not the greatest in the world, Russian is at least that great, and probably even French and German
Every generation sees things differently but they seemed to get everything right in the '90s. We had, for me, the best adaptations of Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Sense and Sensibility and Far From the Madding Crowd, to name just a few. Earlier ones were too stilted, later ones too modern.
I was heartbroken to hear of the recent passing of Composers Carl Davis a few day ago. I’ve alway loved the music he composed for this series and how it aways comes to mind no matter which version of Pride and Prejudice I watch, but his version will always and forever be the best one. RIP Mr. Davis ❤
This is my favourite adaptation of P&P by far. I like that it uses a lot of Austen dialogue and stays true to Austen. The made-up scenes don't detract from the Austen plot. Those involved have not tried to improve on the original or modernise it. They have tried to keep as true as possible to the novel.
I remember when P&P first aired on A&E as a weekly installment. Some weeks I couldn't watch it because my brother -whom I shared my first appartment with - won at Rock, Paper, Scissors that night and got to monopolize the only cable TV we had, so I would record it and pray the VCR didn't screw it up. When it's a cold and rainy weekend, and perfect for curling up under the duvet to watch it again for the upteenth time, giant bowl of ice cream smothered in fudge and caramel sauce in hand, I still get giddy as soon as I hear the opening score. And when it's over, I also still get a little depressed that it's already over!
@@clarebell5926 Alison Steadman was so wrong as Mrs Bennett. I don't think she'd read the book and understood the character at all. It was such a lazy unsubtle characterisation. Can't bear to watch her. All the girls looked too old and very overfed.
I watched this series when it first came out, and then I read the book, I cannot imagine anyone else playing these characters, they are perfect and will forever be them.
This, the '95 version, will forever be near & dear to my heart. I've still enjoyed the others, of course, but I keep going back to this series time after time, & see no reason to stop now!
A MASTERPIECE! My mother and I loved it! Even my brother liked it. I read the book a few times and enjoyed 1995’s version so much more than the book. The screenwriter made the story better!
Создать такой замечательный фильм могли талантливые люди, это произведение созданное на одном дыхании, для меня это радость , восхищаюсь каждый раз актёрами......и смотрю даже не устаю, знаю наизусть весь текст......Спасибо всем! Это Шедевр!
This book is my favorite. I do love all books of Jane Austin. This movie is absolutely great and music unforgettable!!!! Thank you Mr. Davis!!! Bravo!!!!
Such a triumphant adaptation. Among the actors who are mentioned less frequently, Polly Maberly who plays Kitty is also excellent. She has a beautiful speaking voice, and carries off this slightly more minor part extremely well.
He's great, but I have to admit that I also loved what Tom Hollander did with the character in the 2005 version (I'm generally a huge fan of his work). I know he took it in a different direction than the 1995, and further from the book (awkward rather than pompous), but he was so hilarious, and so subtle about it (the line "what a beautiful house and what excellent boiled potatoes" always kills me!). He was one of my favourite things about the 2005 version!
Totally brilliant. Could never watch the film despite excellent actors. This adaptation was the best, a winner, deserving of praise. Every character was marvellously played. You could not fault anyone. Stars all of them.🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🍸🎇🎇🎇🎇🎇
It's amazing to see how much talent, heart, and soul was put into this production. They all have such a love for the project. thanks for posting this! Working on finishing a pride and prejudice musical and felt the need for inspiration to work through the rest of the orchestrations.
Brilliant spot on casting -- and such high quality production, makes this my all time favorite film/series ever. Well done, everyone, such a treat to watch.
This adaption of Pride and Prejudice is my favourite ever. Brilliant casting, brilliant direction and production. I loved it, but felt so let down by the final episode, which should have been the culmination….the best! Why, oh why, did it deny us my favourite bits of the book? The evening after Darcy’s proposal, when it’s all a secret from her family, and then when she teases him over why they failed to get together earlier. Worst of all, missing out on Mrs Bennet’s reaction to their engagement. Surely that scene with Mrs Bennet is a gift to any dramatist. What a missed opportunity.
Iconic production! Adored this from the first scene to the last. Have watched it many times, well done to all the team. Beautiful music. Lovely to have seen all the actors involved, progress in their careers. Respect, to you all.
Just as I fell in love with this version in my youth, now my 3 daughters are talking about watching it with their children. It can't be beaten. The work was worth it. Congratulations.
2005 is like Prejudice for dummies. It’s a wonderful production for sure, but it leaves out a lot of detail. It’s a quick read. The Colin Firth ‘Mr. Darcy’ and the series as a whole is most enjoyable. The 1940 version is a fun watch also even in black and white. But 1995 remains my favorite. Taking time to tell the story through 6 episodes is enthralling. Having all three in my iTunes library, I have the ability to watch whichever version I am in the mood for.
I love this production of Pride & Prejudice; making it a miniseries gives time to do the book real justice. With "Mr. Wickham" narrating this, I'm glad he's found a respectable way to earn some income. I hope Lydia gets a new gown and bonnet out of it. 🤭😉
Also, reverse? Late 1800s early 1900s novelist, Joseph Conrad was Polish-- British!! Novels include Lord Jim, Heart of Darkness, Nostromo, etc. many already are feature films.
Never understood why people think a film or tv adaptation should be good just because it was "faithful" to the novel - if that was true, showing pictures of the manuscript one by one would be the only legitimate and ultimate adaptation of literature. For me especially the 'unfaithful' adaptions are like seeing the same scenes and people in it from different angles, wide or close. Whenever they give me a new view on a character i didn't see before - they unveil an inherent truth in literature. And that is so much more important than uninspired faithfulness.
Mr Darcy who owns half of Derby and still does NOT have Title meaning he is a bussiness man not a member of the nobility. His Aunt is a member of nobility as she is a Lady.
It was an excellent and faithful dramatisation with superb acting and directing. But I kept being distracted by anachronisms in the rural scenes, that it is unlikely that anyone else noticed, and that it is probable that nothing could have been done about. There were broken down fences and walls, and overgrown hedges, that would have been well maintained to confine livestock, and huge fields with evidence of hedgerows having been removed not that long ago, and more maize than was grown even when I was young.
I like both versions but this is my favorite! Age may be why! Im 68 now! The old old one i got free on dvd in a large stack. American made and set in civil war era like southern belles but British?! Bad! I just kept fast forwarding!
Miss Bingley was very overdressed for the country. Not that I am criticizing the costumer; it is more a comment on the character of Miss Bingley herself.
Англичане молодцы: очень точно, честно и старательно экранизируют свою классику. В СССР тоже старальсь честно экранизировать русскую классику, но, с приходом в страну капитализма, либерализма и голливуда, китематорграф превратился в прокисшую антисоветскую и антирусскую кашу.
Sorry, Mrs. Bennet is far too over the top. She should be silly and wrong-headed, not insufferable like this woman. Mr. Bennet couldn't have been that deluded by her youthful beauty.
I just couldn’t stand her as Lizzie. She was so insufferably smug. I don’t go much for Colin Firth, either. We all have our own ideas of what Elizabeth and Darcy are “supposed” to be like, I imagine. Despite this, I still think this series was an excellent adaptation of the book.
Smug? How interesting. She gave the impression of someone being lovely and trying to keep her temper and countenance despite being irritated or annoyed by someone
@@zvezdoblyat indeed I agree with you. For me, this is the definitive version. Jennifer and Colin are Ms. Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. And the rest of the actors and characters too. This was just perfect.
@@misslucasc5121 I've also heard a lot of people saying Colin playing darcy is wrong because he's too arrogant looking or something. Imo, he just has a resting bitch face and says the wrong thing at the wrong time, lol
How anyone can think the 2005 film can beat the 1995 BBC version is beyond me! This will always be the most faithful version.
amen!

ABSOLUTELY the BEST version of Pride and Prejudice ❤
I have watched Pride and Prejudice so many times. But I will never get tired of it.
Me too!

Watch it every summer holidays 👍👍
Same here! ❤

I think this is the best tv adaptation of any book ever done.

This is perfection. It will never be realized like this again. What a wonderful series to watch again and again.
Colin Firth is my ideal Mr. Darcy. He acts with the eyes, and he is brilliantly handsome and faithful to the book version.

its my "go to"...version. I absolutely love the detail and accuracy to the book perfect casting too
There is no other Darcy than Colin Firth. And his seat while riding. Gorgeous.
Thank you for this documentary about the making of the 1996 BBC version of Pride and Prejudice. It is a masterpiece ✨✨✨
It was available with the DVD set from BBC Films. Narrated by Adrian Lukis, who played the deceitful rogue Wickham.
I watched this series when it first came out, and then I read the book, I cannot imagine anyone else playing these characters, they are perfect and will forever be them.

So stupid not letting Colin swim in that lake, like what the hell 😂
It was an excellent and faithful dramatisation with superb acting and directing. But I kept being distracted by anachronisms in the rural scenes, that it is unlikely that anyone else noticed, and that it is probable that nothing could have been done about.

It is a bit noticeable to some eyes, but if you watch the story, and fully concentrate on it, it may successfully escape your gaze. 😅
How do you talk about casting and not mention the actual casting of the lead?

Gerry Scott’s three-pack a day cigarette voice detracted from this otherwise interesting video. And the crotch shot angle was unnecessary.
