What a great actor David Bamber is. I haven´t seen a better Mr. Collins than his. This guy was Jane Austen´s Mr. Collins in flesh and bone. Cloying, creepy, cheesy, wet, dark and simply ridiculous. Genious actor.
His appearance is slimey. His posture is creepy, even predatory. His lines perfectly convey just how pathetic his reasoning process is. He's so convincing that I struggle to see him as an actor, rather than a genuine creep.
@Jonathan Parks yes, he's not a bad man, pompous, vain, ridiclous yes but he's not got any bad intentions and he always tells the truth . He's definitely not as bad as a certain other character in this story....
When you think about the fact that she is getting the first (and at possibly only) proposal of all the sisters, from the man who stands to leave all 5 of them homeless the minute their father dies (if he wanted to), and the fact that the family's future hangs in the balance......what Elizabeth did was GUTSY. You have to be brave to stand up and defy social and family convention with that much pressure on you. No matter how greasy and cloying this man is, he holds a LOT of power and she knows it.
Or looked at another way, she put her own feelings above the welfare of her sisters. One might almost consider her rejection to be a bit selfish. (Not that I blame her; how could anyone be happy with Mr Collins!)
There is no way Mr Bennett would have given his consent though. He would have talked her out of it. And here's Lizzie watching her sister genuinely fall in love with a handsome nice gentleman. WHy would she agree to be stuck with that weirdo?
He's a weirdo, but he might be her only chance at marriage. Back then, marriage was pushed as the ultimate aim for a woman, and was more business-like. Plus if she wants children, she might be turning down her only chance to ever have any. Need Covfefe is right, this is a gutsy move.
No he's an entitled male chauvinist man he wanted sex with a beautiful women only even though he's a creep. He wanted Jane at first! No way was it going to Mary, although she was the more suitable match for him.
I absolutely shipped them. Their temperaments are complimentary and Mary is probably a more serious scholar than he is, so his sermons would get more in depth (and drag on endlessly).
Mary would have taken him gladly. If you watch the scene when they’re discussing the invitation to the Netherfield ball. The look on Mary’s face when Mr Collins says he intends to claim the first two dances from Elizabeth and not her. She looks totally crushed!
Not agree. Mary and Mr Collins are the same. In their case this doesn't attract him. Mary is not attractive to Mr Collins as woman because she is like him. He looks for the opposite than him. For Mary Mr Collins would be an idol.
@@tatianaopredeliakova946I don’t think he was looking for anything other than a wife. Much like Charlotte Lucas, he’s not a romantic but a pragmatic, although in his case that is mainly because he lacks both intelligence and imagination. He sees courtships as a ritual and marriage as a transaction. Pretty much any girl would do for him. He’s the archetype of the adequate husband that society at that time seemed to force upon girls like Elizabeth.
@@JuanRodriguez-im6ul Yes, but his new status makes him think he can have anyone..he genuinely thinks she is attractive and could see that she did not like him, but tries to convince her in his own way.
Great acting. Mr. Collins is just perfect. And I love Elizabeth's expressions, shifting between amusement and despair when being confronted with such massive pomposity.
Kind of tragic how her thick headed mother all but threw Mr Collins at her while ignoring Mary who was all but infatuated by him - not to mention the most ideally suited wife for him in the story.
@@mnomadvfx It is really strange that Mr Collins didn't propose to Mary before moving on to Charlotte Lucas. But I can only assume that he didn't find Mary pretty enough (even though I guess that Charlotte was supposed to be plain as well.)
@@Furienna It must be that he thought Mary wasn't attractive enough, because he kept calling Elizabeth "amiable" and praising her "feminine delicacy". Yes, Charlotte Lucas was plain, but she was his third choice; he wasn't prepared to be embarrassed again in the Bennet household! :D
Anyone notice how Elizabeth instantly places the vase in between herself and Mister Collins.. a physical barrier to protect herself from his...unusual charm.
I like her storming out of the room, although in the other one I do like when the other girls burst through the door and start laughing after she rejects him 😂
When you realize that even with how gross and creepy he is, Elizabeth still at least thanked him for his proposal (twice) whereas she couldn't even bring herself to do that with Darcy's first proposal because that's how much she hated him.
It's important to note that Elizabeth Bennet was well aware that Mr. Collins was, despite his enormous pomposity and condescension, paying her a great compliment. Marrying her would secure her family's future in the event of Mr. Bennet's death, and it was magnanimous of him to overlook her small dowry. Compare that to Mr. Darcy's declaration that the Bennet's situation is so decidedly beneath his own!
I have watched this scene many times, and I am still shaking with laughter. It's even funnier in the book, especially when Elizabeth resolves that she will appeal to her father, whose refusal cannot be interpreted as feminine coquetry.
oh man, if any lady wants pointers on how to politely turn down an unwanted proposal yet at the same time make sure he/she takes the hint, simply take lessons from Lizzie!
A brilliant sceen with an acting masterclass, especially in this instance from David Bamber. Jennfier Ehle is superb throughout as Lizzie, in fact, hats off to the cast as a whole.
There were men like this in times gone by when a woman couldnt say no to. Thank God times have moved on for most women and we dont even have to get married these days.
@@claudiacon a hard life??? By being "obliged to do things against their will..."? Like marry a fairly well off man you dont really like? or the things men were obliged to do like go and work 12 hour shifts down the pits or join the army to get blown to bits? Yes, I agree... women had it so tough.
@@fishyc150 wars were started by men and women have been forced to live by the man's rules. I know that the wars killed many men but in a way they were blessings in disguise as they forced many women to go out of the house to work. The post war period was the herald of working women. Now look how far we have come!
Bamber’s incredible characterization! Masterful. Hard to see him in any other role after this performance. The 4K version reveals much more in every aspect of this (best by a long shot) version of P&P.
Mr. Collins thinks highly of himself. In the book, he even introduces himself to Mr. Darcy (an etiquette no-no) because he thinks his being a clergyman makes him equal in rank. When choosing which Bennet sister he wants to marry, he goes for the most attractive available one, who is way out of his league. He was lucky he had money and influence, otherwise he wouldn't have married anyone!
I just watched the Mr. Darcy proposal and when I watch this one I have to turn down the volume! "Mr. Collins.You forget that I have made no answer and let me do so now. I thank you for your compliments. I am very sensible of the honor of your proposals. But it is impossible to accept them". No she doesn't look like she's smirking or about to burst out laughing. She just looks anxious, tired, and nice. I love her. She is completely right about Mr. Collins.
It; because he is actually taking himself so seriously. The way Bamber is doing it is like he genuinely believes he is a regular Romeo and women can't resist him. It make him seem even slimier.
I personally think that Elisabeth MIGHT have accepted or it would have been harder to reject him if he was a humble man who wasn't trying to blow smoke up everyone's backside and (he did this too, just listen to the proposal) he threatened her. Like he knew she would be a big flop with men and she wouldn't get a proposal by a high ranking gentleman again.
Wretched as the things he tells her are (Thinking no means yes being just one of the cherries on top), I do always pity him a tad because such obliviousness is rarely observed. It’s almost tragic. But he tests me, to the point that by the end I’m reduced to going, “FINISH HIM.”
Mr Collins, although he receives e few of Lizzy's rejections, he is not persuaded to be discarieged in his marriage proposal. When Mrs Bennet decides to interfere in the matter to persuade her daughter, Mr Collins is absolutely dismissed on his own will.🙄
He basically said he wants to marry her to ensure his succession in case one of the girls should produce a son before Mr Bennett dies. Smooth. Real smooh
Actually that doesn't apply. By the rules of entailment, Mr. Collins would inherit the state even if a Miss Bennet had a son, because that son would belong to his father's heritage, not the Bennet's. The only way the state would remain with the Bennets would be if a male Bennet fathered a male heir.
Daniel Guimarães, Not at the time it was written and in the specific entitlement. Any of the daughters giving birth to a son while Mr. Bennett was alive would pass the entitlement back to the Bennetts (that particular son). Mr. Bennett looks like he’s got a couple of decades left. Have you read the book? Collins is currently the closest male relative.
@@beachgirl4583 Plus Mr Collins is such a distant relative that someone could easily appear from out of the blue (as people do when landowners die) and say they are a closer relative. I mean its even funny that he shows up as soon as he becomes the heir presumptive- you know to make sure he is remembered in the will. Mr Elliott does the same thing in Persuasion, turns up, becomes friends with the baron and tries to marry Anne to ensure he inherits the estate. Adding to the smoothness of this proposal is basically "no one else may ever want to marry you." Jeez man. How could she resist you?
@@annj60 No it wasn't like Rome, inheritance is through the blood line as in all Post Roman Europe. I think that thinking came from the Germanic tribes that overthrew Rome.
Как жаль, что мама не увидела, что мистер Коллинз понравился Мэри с самой первой минуты его приезда! Посмотрите, как она внимательно следит за Коллинзом и дома и на балу! Это была бы идеальная парочка!
haha thank you soo much for uploading this! i have to write an essay on the movie, specifically about collins and this helped tremendously with refreshing my memory about his character =] cant thank you enough!!
David Bamber is one hell of an actor! To play such an obsequiously odious character, so lacking in social graces, so offensive to all, deferential to authority, and caring not a whit for anyone but himself, takes great acting and finesse. His expressions are hilarious! He affords great comic relief served up with a hint of menace in the foreboding of the family home going to him, ugh! The one clue that an actor is playing this role and its not really the chap himself, is in the fine fingers of David, the long artistic fingers flying about, not the thick squat hands that Collins would actually have, being a coarse man.
THANK YOU, SO MUCH!!! 💝💝💝💝💝 -- For uploading!!! You've highlighted this given life to a beloved, HERstorical example of feminism. Thus, additionally, given me a living video to refer prospective suitors to!! I have ABSOLUTELY no intention, EVER, to marry, nor have any type of sexual intimacy with ANYONE ever again for the rest of my life.

THANK YOUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!! 💝🤝👏🎉🌈😁😇
,,Nor have any type of sexual intimacy with ANYONE ever again for the rest of my life'' I take the liberty to believe (or hope, in the light of their gravity) these vows are now long forgone?
@@annemary9680 Elizabeth Bennet certainly does not fit into the 21st century category of feminist, even if her refusal to marry for money despite being dependent on marriage would have stood out in the Regency Era. Her moral values fit the time, especially demonstrated when she was mortified and angry by Lydia Bennet running off with Wickham before being properly married.
poor Collin. He was so nice, but then he just became so annoying. Dude, like she said no. I know you sincerely love her and all that but she is literally leaving the room.
Poor Lizzy!!! Every man who proposes to her tells her that he is her only chance of being married hahaha. Darcy did it too in his first proposal if you have not noticed!!!! ⚠
This happened me few times at work , never work out at all. If he Was like Mr Wonka style I say yes. So glad Liza turn down. After hearring that Liza friend marry him. This one greatest film movie and so funny. I have Watch so many others film movies a Duchess. Guy pick . Gee wish women pick for a Right Prince. Like Gene Wilder or Mr Darcy. Glad Liza said No No No Mr. Collins👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
I feel sorry for Mr Collins, his proposal is not romantic but neither that bad. Elizabeth makes the right choice in refusing him. They are too much different in their characters and Elizabeth don't respect him enough to be a good companion for him. Mr Collins is definitely destined to Charlotte and I am glad that he has married her.
@@Haloangel204Yes, I agree on Mary. She's the only Bennet sister worth of his proposal because she appreciates him for the man he is （while the others laugh of him）. Unfortunately Mary is not beauty like her siblings and Mr Collins wants one （enough） pretty wife at his side.
Mary would have been best. But Mr Collins was so insulted by the Bennetts as a whole after Lizzie rejected him that he refused to look at them twice. Charlotte is a bit too intellectual for him and ends up being very sorry about her choice. She wasn't pretty either but Mr Collins kind of wanted to say "so there. I can get a woman" to the Bennetts.
At that time it would have been considered very rude of Mr Collins to have by passed Lizzie and ask Mary, as there was a hierarchy of age, the older sister gets married before the younger.
What a great actor David Bamber is. I haven´t seen a better Mr. Collins than his. This guy was Jane Austen´s Mr. Collins in flesh and bone. Cloying, creepy, cheesy, wet, dark and simply ridiculous. Genious actor.
Tom Hollander was equally repulsive. I thought the actor was ugly, but it’s his insides showing. Both of them nailed it.
His appearance is slimey. His posture is creepy, even predatory. His lines perfectly convey just how pathetic his reasoning process is. He's so convincing that I struggle to see him as an actor, rather than a genuine creep.

@Jonathan Parks yes, he's not a bad man, pompous, vain, ridiclous yes but he's not got any bad intentions and he always tells the truth . He's definitely not as bad as a certain other character in this story....
I like the other Mr Collins who proposed to Keira Knightley

Need Covfefe and that's what the makes her a complex character. She chooses love over wealth
It would be like today a 20 yr old woman who still lives with her parents and 5 siblings turning down a job offer. Her mother would not be impressed.
Dude if a woman is literally leaving the room you really need to take that no as a final answer and walk away.
I love the way he finishes his pre-practiced speech even though she has left the room.
He kindly tells her that no one else will likely propose to her, that'll warm her up!
Mr Darcy wouldn't do that. And he didn't.
Yee haa 🤣.
From his perspective, he was being honest and charitable. If Mr. Bennet were to die, the entire family would be in financial difficulty.
@@iwaisman Actually Mr.Darcy DID!!!!!!
without a doubt, Elizabeth Bennet is among the most fabulous heroines in all of English literature! Jennifer's performance is beyond perfect!
@irishxxkelt Was that so? I thought her favourite was Emma.
My favourite is Romola Garai as Emma, for the heroines
Such second hand embarrassment, but I can't stop watching.
Collins probably had no thought of getting married until Lady Catherine recommended it!
He probably was flirting with her daughter and she could nt have that
@@bryanstein9240 No. She intends her daughter to marry Darcy, which is equally repugnant.
Well, he said that he thought it was necessary, as he was a clergyman. But yes, Lady Catherine de Bourgh's recommendation played a huge part!
I wish Mr Collins proposed to Mary, she would've actually suited him and I believe she did respect him in the book
She would have been crushed by Lady Catherine De Burgh, imagine Mary singing at Rosings
Mary was so pious, perfect for vicars wife.,
Mary would have been more suitable but he didn't see it that way
No he's an entitled male chauvinist man he wanted sex with a beautiful women only even though he's a creep. He wanted Jane at first! No way was it going to Mary, although she was the more suitable match for him.
@@lindaosborne1617 I think he just basically played darts to decide who his future wife should be.

Better still as Cicero in Rome.
He is so underrated.
Damn..even if the man I loved made his proposal that long, I'd fall asleep.
MYYY reasons for marrying are...... 😂😂😂😂
Lol!
What PERFECT delivery of Collins' unbelievable pomposity!
They couldn't have chosen a better actor to portray Mr. Collins
He played Mr Collins so well!

Yes. Yes. And Yes.
I'm sorry, but no!
Well she is superior to all Elizabeths so far
@@rosamariamendoza1466 phht the Olivier version was better than the 2005 version! The 1995 version IS the gold standard. Period.

So many gaffes!
I have watched this scene many times, and I am still shaking with laughter. It's even funnier in the book, especially when Elizabeth resolves that she will appeal to her father, whose refusal cannot be interpreted as feminine coquetry.
@@Musicienne-DAB1995 "I have a boyfriend" - not much has changed. They only listen to other men.
Note the way Elizabeth puts an object between herself and Mr Collins. People often do that subconsciously when they're uncomfortable with someone.
“And now nothing remains for me but to assure you in the most animated language of the violence of my affections.” GET OUT!!!!!
I love how his affections are the very last thing he mentions.

3. Don't point out that another offer of marriage may never be made to them. haha
It sounds offensive to us, but Mr. Collins probably thought he was being tactful.
There were men like this in times gone by when a woman couldnt say no to.
Thank God times have moved on for most women and we dont even have to get married these days.

@@annemary9680 Elizabeth Bennet certainly does not fit into the 21st century category of feminist, even if her refusal to marry for money despite being dependent on marriage would have stood out in the Regency Era. Her moral values fit the time, especially demonstrated when she was mortified and angry by Lydia Bennet running off with Wickham before being properly married.
poor Collin. He was so nice, but then he just became so annoying. Dude, like she said no. I know you sincerely love her and all that but she is literally leaving the room.
'His regard for her was quite imaginary.' Within three days, he had propsoed to Charlotte Lucas.
David Bamber is a great actor.
He should have married Mary lol
Brilliant acting by the shimmy priest 👏.
Poor Lizzy!!! Every man who proposes to her tells her that he is her only chance of being married hahaha. Darcy did it too in his first proposal if you have not noticed!!!! ⚠
Mr Collins is hideous!
SCARY !!!
"....the violence of my affections...." - LOL...
I love this scene. Lordy.🤣
@PurpleSpiderWitch i don't know.... I thought it was earth but I may be wrong in that nature
god,he's scary.
Oh no .! Hes creepy alright . She respectefly said no, yo.
XD LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!! Guys, NEVER propose like this to your future wife...EVER!!!
Very funny.
Today we’d call him an icel
How? A clumsy proposal doesn't make someone a socially inept woman-hater.
that dude is really creepy! ick who would want to marry him.
Poor Mr. Collins!
Poor Mr. Collins. Yea, he’s icky 😂, but he sure was sweating at the end, as it probably used up a lot of his energy. This scene is always so humorous.
@TheFockerizer What planet do you come from again??? O.O
❤❤❤❤
This happened me few times at work , never work out at all. If he Was like Mr Wonka style I say yes. So glad Liza turn down. After hearring that Liza friend marry him. This one greatest film movie and so funny. I have Watch so many others film movies a Duchess. Guy pick . Gee wish women pick for a Right Prince. Like Gene Wilder or Mr Darcy. Glad Liza said No No No Mr. Collins👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
I Like and I Love Mr. Collins !!
I feel sorry for Mr Collins, his proposal is not romantic but neither that bad. Elizabeth makes the right choice in refusing him. They are too much different in their characters and Elizabeth don't respect him enough to be a good companion for him. Mr Collins is definitely destined to Charlotte and I am glad that he has married her.
I think he should have married Mary. She actually liked him.
@@Haloangel204Yes, I agree on Mary. She's the only Bennet sister worth of his proposal because she appreciates him for the man he is （while the others laugh of him）. Unfortunately Mary is not beauty like her siblings and Mr Collins wants one （enough） pretty wife at his side.
Claudia Con,
Mary is more attractive than Collins, in 1995 & 2005.
Charlotte knew she had no choice. It would have sucked to be Charlotte.
Mary would have been best. But Mr Collins was so insulted by the Bennetts as a whole after Lizzie rejected him that he refused to look at them twice. Charlotte is a bit too intellectual for him and ends up being very sorry about her choice. She wasn't pretty either but Mr Collins kind of wanted to say "so there. I can get a woman" to the Bennetts.
At that time it would have been considered very rude of Mr Collins to have by passed Lizzie and ask Mary, as there was a hierarchy of age, the older sister gets married before the younger.
He is such a prat
Мистер Коллинз- такой..брр
Melville Cooper, 1940, is my favorite Mr Collins, but this one is a close 2nd.
