I love Colin Firth so much. You guys gotta react to Bridget Jones diary (2001)! It’s a fantastic rom com. I would love to see BMs reaction and it’s on the website!🤞❤️ Any other Colin Firth lovers, you should watch Valmont (1988) it’s based on dangerous liaisons. It’s a great and steamy period piece. CF is fantastic in it.

Darci

Hell yeah

Maisy

Yessssss, echoing others you guys would love Bridget Jones. It's such a clever, funny rom-com! Please give it a watch :)

Shayna Toso

Fell in love with the show. I'm a fan now 😁

Now this was a period masterpiece! I may be in the minority here but I really struggled with watching Bridgeton. I couldn’t even get past the beginning of season 2. To me, it didn’t hold a candle to this one.

🌸Foof🌸

The Other Bennet Sister is such a good watch. Really hope you react to it.

"taking my candle and getting out of this negative place" IM DEAD 😂😂😂

Jessie

"i'm getting out of this shithole and going to a room with an even BIGGER fireplace!" LOL Oak is hilarious

Jessie

same! first time watching for you? i'm totally swept up.

Shayna Toso

Girl naurrr 😆 I tried this show a few yrs ago (skipped really) and wasn't really vibing with it cause I was too OBSESSED with the 2005 film. But omg I love it now!! 😆 watching with my Uncs is the better way to go lol

r

please PLEASE watch the other bennet sister as well. we all need more mary 😂

Alycia Ortiz

You guys should check out The Other Bennet Sister if you liked this one. It’s sooo good! Anyways, really loved the reaction to this whole series 🥰

Deidre

If Oak wants to listen to the audiobook, Jennifer Ehle—who played Elizabeth—read Pride and Prejudice on YouTube during Covid, so you could listen to that.

.

It's good but I don't like the portrayal of the Bennets.

Deidre

To answer some questions: yes, this is a very faithful adaptation to the book. Much of the dialogue is lifted directly off the page. And while there are no post-credit scenes, the book does have an epilogue for all the characters. For instance, Wickham continues to run up debts, but Darcy always bails him and Lydia out for Elizabeth’s sake. Elizabeth and Darcy: they live happily at Pemberley, maintaining a close bond with the Gardiners, whose initial trip to Derbyshire helped reunite them. And Lizzy loves being a SIL to Georgiana. Jane and Bingley: They stay at Netherfield for a year before buying an estate near Derbyshire to remain close to Elizabeth and Darcy. Even though they are both kind and accommodating, they have to leave Netherfield to get some distance between them and the overbearing Mama Bennett. Kitty and Mary: Kitty spends most of her time visiting her older two married sisters, greatly improving her behavior and manners away from Lydia's influence. Mary stays at home with their mother and has to come out of her shell. Lady Catherine de Bourgh: She eventually thaws toward Elizabeth and Darcy, visiting Pemberley after overcoming her initial anger.

.

My opinion on the movie from 2005 is that the cinematography and the scores is a masterpiece. Absolutely gorgeous. The adaptation of the novel, however, isn't the best. Whoever wrote the screenplay for the movie didn't understand Lizzie and Darcy's story, in my opinion. And their story was framed as something ''passionate'' from the get go where both were attracted to each other. I'll honestly never forgive their take on Darcy's first proposal under the rain. Completely wrong lol Their love in the novel is slow burning, mutually transformative founded on admiration and respect, intellectual compatibility, self knowledge, and eventually genuine equality. The mini series does a much better job in portraying that. Edit: Speaking of a different adaptation, there's a 6 episode Netflix series coming out this Fall, of Pride and Prejudice. Completely new cast, new interpretation. There's no telling if it's good yet, but I'll definitely be watching it XD

Pam Nail

Darcy isn't just taking a joy ride in his carriage after hearing about Lydia. He's on his way to London to help, and that's likely a few days' ride away -- not a trip that you want to do on horseback. He takes the carriage to London and then likely continues his search on horseback and on foot.

Tania R

I really enjoyed the reaction to these last two episodes. I also noticed you guys seemed to take on board quite a bit of what we were saying in the comments, which was really nice to see. Capital, capital! 🎩❤️

Kath

What a treat this mini series reaction was, thank you! Would defo love to see a DD first time watch of the movie… I’ve also heard really really great things about the recent bbc series The Other Bennet Sister.

🌸Foof🌸

Curious what you didn't like about the portrayal?

Jessie

So on board with a rewatch of the movie with Diamond Dave, now after watching this and getting more context about the time period from Bridgerton. that would be so fun!

Alycia Ortiz

Yes, already voted for it! ☺️🫶

If you do listen to the audiobook, you have to listen to the one narrated by JULIET STEVENSON. One of the greatest British actresses. She's much better than other narrators because 1) she's actually English, so doesn't need to fake an accent, and 2) she has a warm voice, perfect for narration. She has done all the Jane Austen books. Yes, she does voices for characters. Just to fill out some final details about Wickham, the book tells us that he and Lydia are always struggling for money, moving from place to place to find an "affordable" situation, staying with Jane when they can (although never with Elizabeth and Darcy), and scrounging a little bit of extra money from Jane and Lizzie (not from their husbands). This series is bringing to screen an 18th Century novel - it does not "lull". It just does not move at a speed for goldfish attention span modern audiences.

MadBone127

Thank you for your reaction to this series. I enjoyed it, and I also enjoyed revisiting this series as it had been some years since I watched it.

Kiss the Librarian

I think you guys missed/talked over the moment in ep 5 showing *why* Elizabeth and Darcy were staring at each other so appreciatively. When Miss Bingley brought up Mr. Wickham in a snide remark, it caused Darcy's sister Georgiana to feel upset and embarrassed to the point she fumbled her normally excellent piano playing. Darcy made like he'd stand to console her but Elizabeth got there first and did it in a way that disguised the whole issue (pretending to apologize to Georgiana for not turning the music page, even though she knows Georgiana can probably play it perfectly from memory), so she saved Georgiana embarrassment about her past with Mr. Wickham, kept it secret, and offered her support. Only she and Darcy knew the real reason for Georgiana's upset, and Elizabeth's action was another example of her empathy and strength of character. Darcy was thanking her silently for protecting the most important person to him, for doing it in a humble way that showed Elizabeth has more class than his rich friends have, and he was probably falling in love with her all over again. They weren't just staring at each other because they like each other's mugs.

fendy

Diamond Dave, I beg you, I implore you, watch the movie. True, the writing sucks, but the cinematography and the soundtrack are exceptional. I hope you make it a reaction video. Even if not, you would be in for a treat.

Kiss the Librarian

Hope the new Netflix P&P is nothing like the Netflix Persuasion! What a dumpster fire insult to all things Austen and romance and acting and costume. I like the 2005 interpretation of P&P for the reasons you don't like it lol, but I also like this miniseries. The 2005 portrayal of the first proposal scene gets the feeling of the scene right, since Austen tells us in the book that both characters enter the scene already agitated and are clearly angry during the argument. The 2005 scene feels more natural in how quickly the dialogue is delivered and accurately portrays the firm natures of both characters. It's like Shakespeare. We can't say how the words on the page would have been spoken at the time and there are many "correct" interpretations of art. Also, I don't think the 2005 film showed instant passion, but portrayed what the book described in how the characters do have early interest in each other but build on it with intellectual sparring before any declarations of feelings are made. Not trying to tell you your preferences are wrong, just disagreeing with criticisms of the film that seem too categorical and ignore the nuances in that adaptation.

fendy

Someone said something about who knows if there's more to the story. First - the book in the last chapter kinda hints what happened to the characters. And - apart from that - the actor who plays Wickham made a theatre play about Wickham in his older years looking back at his life.

fendy

And - Oak looking capital! Capital!

Gem

This was such a fun series for you to react to! I love the variety you guys have and the willingness to step out of your comfort zones. It makes for great watching! Mimicking others I would love to see you react to Bridget Jones, and continue the P&P lore with The Other Bennet Sister.

Gem

Is it weird that's what I kind of love about it? It's Mary's POV, so it's as biased as when we see P&P more from Lizzie's view.

Gem

I did too! Watching The Other Bennet Sister is what I imagined Bridgerton wished it was!

Darci

Oooh thank you I've just voted

Amanda

Second watch! Second watch! Or I will send no compliments to your mother! xD I would love to see you react to the movie again after seeing the series, and also get to see DD's first time reaction.

.

The movie makes people believe that Lizzie has an interest in Darcy and especially the rain scene where they almost kissed, for some reason. Lizzie, at this point in the story, DESPISES Darcy. Her opinion of him is a cumulation of many rumors/lies/white lies she's heard from Wickham, Darcy's role in her sister's ordeal and Darcy's manner of proposal who was not only insulting her and her family, but also arrogance to presume there was no way she could refuse him. I'm sorry, I just really don't like the portrayal of that scene specifically in the movie. I don't dislike the movie, I think it's beautifully done, and enjoyable. But the romance in it isn't book accurate and I personally have an issue with it.

crushingit

Y’all need to watch the King’s Speech!! Starring Colin Firth (and based on a true story I believe?) Also contains a few….. familiar faces as cameos 👀 But genuinely it’s probably my favourite work from Colin Firth he did incredible, you guys need to check it out soon!

STILL SIMPLE_B

This is my first time watching this series; I haven't watched a single episode without you guys. I really hope you can give the movie another chance; it is visually stunning. I usually re-read *Pride and Prejudice* once a year; the book experience is undoubtedly different from any adaptation, but I’ve found them all very enjoyable. I hope you’ll soon give the film adaptations of the Brontë sisters' books a chance, too. I can't wait for you to react to *Jane Eyre* or *Wuthering Heights* (the 1992 version with Ralph Fiennes). https://www.baddmedicine.com/recommendations?search-recs=JANE+EYRE https://www.baddmedicine.com/recommendations?search-recs=cumbres

Yes, DD! It is not a happy ending for Lydia at all, and it is supposed to be unsatisfying that "rescuing" her meant marrying her to her predator just to appease society's expectations and double standards for women. Lydia's young age of 15-16 when she is married is supposed to be alarming, just like it was alarming that Wickham lured Darcy's sister when she was only 15. Child brides were less socially acceptable in Austen's time. Lady Catherine expresses shock that Elizabeth's younger sisters are "out" socializing "so very young," meaning they're available for men to court them unusually early. Austen is not simply telling a story about which man her lead character will marry, she is making a sharp critique of social norms through each character and each example of marriage. She explores how the broken system affects women and men. Darcy was engaged since birth to a sickly, silent woman he has no interest in and he struggles to make new friends who aren't sycophants due to his position and wealth - though this is contrasted by the very amiable but similarly wealthy Mr. Bingley, showing Darcy's pride is his main problem. Yet even Bingley is delayed in his happiness due to social expectations and being too agreeable to social pressure. Darcy could rescue Lydia and bring her home without marrying Wickham, but he could not change society. Lydia needed time to grow up, better parental guidance, education about predatory men like Wickham, and the ability to make a catastrophic romantic mistake without having that mistake determine the remainder of her life. The silly boastful Lydia is purposefully contrasted with the innocent, humble Georgiana, specifically to show that these social norms are harmful even for imperfect / annoying victims like Lydia. But due to these social norms, if Darcy had brought Lydia home unmarried then she and her family would likely be outcast. Darcy and Bingley could absorb some of that for themselves, Elizabeth, and Jane, but not for the rest of their family. Lydia also refused to leave Wickham. So Darcy used his power and wealth to work within the existing social structure and save Elizabeth's family, even though it meant Lydia landed in a bad marriage. The ending is supposed to be a dark comedy for Lydia and in the novel it is briefly described how unstable their marriage and finances are, and how Wickham's interest in Lydia is of course already fading. Lydia and Wickham are contrasted with Darcy and Elizabeth who do not marry for the sake of money or convenience, but only after they fully understand and respect each other's empathy and moral character. (Elizabeth jokes that she fell in love with Darcy after seeing his house, but it is at that visit that she hears more about his true nature from those who've known him longest, sees how he treats his sister and her aunt & uncle who are lower merchant class and live in a London neighborhood called Cheapside). So Pride & Prejudice is about the flaws of the characters as well as the flaws of their society.

I need "I send no compliments to your mother!" on a T-shirt as well. In fine lettering. And maybe a quill. xD I'd love to see a second watch of 2005's P&P as well! Interested to see if Oak finds more context, if Mason Quinn remembers the ending (just teasing MQ, lol), Answer's impression of "what excellent boiled potatoes," and Diamond Dave's mind to be blown by the impeccable cinematography.

Donna Rossi Youngblood

You all have made much of Mary's dismissive comments. "The Other Bennet Sister" is a treat as another take on the characters and is written with the true heart and nature of Jane Austen's works. I think you'd all love it. And reiterating, "Bridget Jone's Diary" is a must after this.

Kiss the Librarian

It used to irritate me how gently and easily Elizabeth treats Wickham at the end, after all his predatory behavior. But if you pay attention she is making him sweat in quiet British style, using double entendres and silent implied meanings that make him stammer and pause with shame. She's showing him he can't charm her or deceive her, she knows what really happened, and she won't tolerate any more deceptive discussion by shutting it down politely. It's very in character for Elizabeth, who has been giving everyone the business since the start of the story, and precisely why Darcy is obsessed so early. In the book, she is described as average looking (hard to believe with the actresses who tend to play her), and Darcy remarks on this rudely at first but ultimately loves her for her wit, courage, and empathy.

Kiss the Librarian

Strong second for a 2005 P&P rewatch, and hell yes to the Bronte sisters' gothic romances! And it's about to be spooky season! :) Jane Eyre is so relatable for me as someone who escaped a dysfunctional household to make her own way in the world, though I didn't have to do it in friggin Victorian England or deal with any ghosts. I can't decide between the 2006 miniseries or 2011 film. They're both good but I think I feel the romance more in the miniseries. Haven't seen the newest Wuthering Heights because I heard bad reviews, but I remember the Ralph Fiennes one being really good. Hopefully someday a studio will have courage to cast a black man as Heathcliff as Emily Bronte originally wrote him.

Kiss the Librarian

It's one of my favorite moments from this adaptation. So much is said in that silence. :)

Kiss the Librarian

Liking because I'd love to see DD's reaction to the 2005 adaptation, but salty because I don't think the writing sucks at all. xD

Kiss the Librarian

Thanks for the rec, I'll have to pick up that audiobook :)

Kiss the Librarian

The Other Bennet Sister is almost great, needed a better director and maybe writer. It's light and fun, a good popcorn watch but I left it feeling a bit disappointed. Maybe if I rewatch with lower expectations I'll enjoy it more.

Alicia

So glad you guys could watch this series! It is the best! My opinion of the 2005 movie is that it is an absolutely beautiful movie… but has to be taken with a grain of salt because it just doesn’t quite do the characters justice. In the 2005 movie it tends to stress on Darcy being socially awkward… but the book would show that he is also proud - and he has to learn to let go of those things that he holds above all. I think the lack of Mr and Mrs Hurst in the movie also affects the “meanness” of Caroline - we can see in the 1995 version - she bounces off of her sister a lot with disparaging the Bennetts - which is lost in the 2005 movie. I think a personal gripe is also in the 05 movie they wanted to make it very obvious to movie goers that Darcy was out of Lizzy’s league by making the Bennett’s home more dark and dingy and smaller… but they were still landed gentry - not as high earners surely but they wouldn’t have had a pig walking in the middle of their house that’s for sure! Aside from those things - I do think it’s a lovely movie and the music is great! It’s just not quite reminiscent of the true story of Pride and Prejudice!

Miss Lovely

Thank you so much for doing this series I loved your reaction. All the actors in this series did a fantastic job and were so entertaining. I can't wait for you to watch The Other Bennet Sister, I think you'll get hooked. Also there's a Chinese drama called Pursuit of Jade, I know you'll like it. It has everything it's a historical drama, mystery, romance, intense fight scenes, and FAMILY. The story starts off slowly building the set up but when the pin drops we hit the ground running. I highly recommend these two shows.

Toasted Toad

Hope you enjoy. It was the last Austen recording Juliet did - she'd done all the other ones except P&P years ago, but for some reason left that one out. I must have listened to every other version (if it wasn't already evident, I'm a big Austen fan!), but all had their problems. Then finally she did a reading and it was, as I expected, perfect.

Toasted Toad

I think I got 20 mins into that Netflix Persuasion before the choice became switching it off or committing hara kiri. And the book doesn't describe mutual early interest. It makes it very clear that Elizabeth has zero interest in Darcy early on. She thinks he's both unpleasant company and, after she meets Wickham, complete scum. Not until Darcy's letter does she even begin to stop loathing him, and it isn't until they meet again at Pemberley that she begins to actually enjoy being with him. It's Darcy that has an early interest in Elizabeth. Starting from the party when he comments on her "fine eyes", and going on from there, falling deeper and deeper each time they meet. But the proposal scene is awful in the film. Why are they in the pouring rain? Just for melodrama. They are gabbling away so fast that their speech patterns are unnatural. They even move close enough to be almost kissing, as though they have some kind of sexual connection at this point, which is soooo not the case. Also, Lizzie says in the film "and those are the words of a gentleman" instead of the crucial "had you behaved in a more gentleman like manner", which is so crucial to Darcy's change in behaviour. That is a 100% miss. In the BBC scene, it's almost exactly how it's described in the book.

Catherine Dorney

GreaT reaction! I saw this in the early 90s when I was in college. Soap operas were huge on campuses then and here came Colin Firth with smoldering intensity and a wet T shirt and gen x women fell in love with him for ever after! 🩷🩷

Kiss the Librarian

I can see your perspective, and I think it's a misunderstanding of the film adaptation. The 2005 film version makes the passionate component much more explicit than Austen does, that's undeniable. But it doesn't distort the characters or misread Austen in the process. These characters have been sparring verbally since they first met and the proposal scene is like a rapid fire fencing match when the emotional stakes are finally put on the table and can no longer be ignored. It feels more human and true to how agitated the characters were described in the book for that scene. I think it makes sense that their feelings almost boil over. The 2005 film intensifies rather than invents Elizabeth’s early attraction: the novel shows her repeatedly watching Darcy, sparring with him, thinking about him, and being unusually fascinated by his character even while consciously disliking him. The rain-scene almost-kiss can therefore represent unacknowledged attraction colliding with genuine anger and moral condemnation, not a secret desire to accept his proposal. After rejecting him, Elizabeth is remarkably shaken—unable to sleep or concentrate and preoccupied with what happened—although Austen deliberately leaves the causes of that distress complex. The novel doesn’t establish that Elizabeth already loves Darcy, but it strongly supports the 2005 interpretation that he has become emotionally important to her before she understands why. In the novel, Elizabeth describes how much she misunderstood her own feelings as well as misunderstanding who Darcy actually is. Elizabeth's forthrightness and courage are exactly what attracts Darcy so I like that even as she is angrily reprimanding him in her rejection, he cannot fault her reasons even if she doesn't know the whole truth - so he is again in awe of her gumption and finds it almost irresistible. So he lets out a breath of disbelief and admiration, leans toward her but stops himself. This is like the 4th paradigm shift in their whole dynamic during that argument as they peel back the layers of their preconceived notions about each other. When he leans in with appreciation after her rejection, it communicates to her what he admires about who she is, the depth of his feelings at that point, and given her prior interest I don't think it's surprising that she almost leans in as well. And it is important that she stops herself. They don't make it all about attraction, her objections are real and important. Both in terms of interpreting the book and my own experiences with having complicated feelings that my brain disagrees with and refuses to let me act on, I think the 2005 interpretation holds up. Edit: Ironic for this discussion about whether the 2005 version is too passionate, but the original screenplay did not include a kiss between the characters. It originally ended on a note of harmony, acceptance, and humor when Mr. Bennett bestows his blessing on Elizabeth and Darcy. That is the end for the UK version. American audiences wanted a more Disneyfied endcap on the melodrama by showing a wedding and a kiss. So the director stuck to the original themes by adding the final scene in the American version with Elizabeth and Darcy dressed down in their comfy home clothes sitting at a terrace on his estate after their wedding. The paired swans gliding peacefully on the lake in the background represent lifelong fidelity and the conclusion of the nature theme once again with them being in harmony with their natural states and each other. Their conversation continues the humor, shows they are still themselves teasing each other while expressing their devotion, and the kiss has a quiet passion that is steady rather than excessive.

Y’all would LOVE The Other Bennet Sister, I hope you react to it some day!!

@Toasted Toad Couldn't agree more about Netflix's Persuasion! So disappointing. I love the 1995 version, have you seen it? I respectfully disagree that the rainstorm was only added for melodrama in the 2005 P&P adaptation. The film intentionally incorporated a natural earthiness and symbolism throughout the film, making it feel grounded and lived in while also using natural elements to visually express emotion and the themes of the story. Natural elements, all the way down to muddy farm life, were used to acknowledge the physical ingredient of attraction in love rather than denying it, and form a contrast to the unnecessary complexities of the marriage traditions humans created for themselves at the time. - The geese scuttling away from the chaotic Mrs. Bennett and fleeing into the sky behind Elizabeth when she feels trapped by Collins's proposal due to financial & social pressures. - The horse's impatient grunt during the close up of Darcy's tensed hand after the rare physical contact with another, and Elizabeth no less; as if the horse was voicing the feeling Darcy was recognizing. - The rocky road disrupting a carriage during Elizabeth's trip with her aunt and uncle, forcing them to stop and sit under a tree before deciding on the next step of their journey that would cause her to visit Darcy's home - both echoing the line "what are men to rocks and mountains?" indicating humanity's plans are no match for natural forces. And it serves as a backdrop for their conversation about Darcy's wealth and class acting as a manmade social barrier (Elizabeth's excuse for not wanting to visit his house while concealing her true feelings or her "natural" state in that moment), despite all people being equal when defined only by their natural state as human beings. They have this conversation while sitting under an enormous, magnificent tree that dwarfs them all equally. - Elizabeth rides at the back of the carriage at the beginning of their journey with her eyes closed to the world around them, lost in her thoughts and frustrated by her feelings. The shade of trees alternatingly obscures the sunlight that wants to come through her closed eyelids, beckoning her into the world, and we cut to her standing at a cliff's edge taking in the majesty of the natural world, allowing herself to feel as the wind tosses her hair. - The sculptures displayed at Pemberley depict delicate human emotion carved into cold hard stone that still manages to express everything the artist felt, like the fabric veil carved to seem impossibly light over the woman's face. They represent the expression of human nature and emotion unrestricted and vulnerable, which is beautifully ironic given the stone material but it is also natural material. Also ironic is the sculpture of Darcy in which we see his first smile, small, gentle, kind, and vulnerable, even though it is carved into stone - which is ironically how he has appeared in the movie so far: a stony countenace. - The parrots squawking in Lady Catherine's opulently suffocating drawing room, unable to be fully contained as they mocked their human captors from their cages. - The rain accompanying Jane's walk to Netherfield is elevated to a storm that totally drenches her, and creates the association of mudd and exercise outdoors with Elizabeth due to her famous walk instead of taking a carriage after the storm. The storm returns but more forcefully for Darcy's proposal due to the turbulence of their argument and externalizes the emotional stakes. The calm misty dawn at his second proposal is a fitting return for the nature "character" in the film, representing how their feelings have reached a state of mutual understanding and peace as the sun rises between them. I described in another comment above why I think the film is showing that Elizabeth consciously dislikes Darcy while being unconsciously fascinated by him, without sacrificing the character or the story at all. Elizabeth's reprimand "and those are the words of a gentleman" gets the same point across compared to the book dialogue. She's calling him out for bad behavior unbecoming of his station.

STILL SIMPLE_B

The thing about the *Jane Eyre* movie is that, just like the 2005 *Pride & Prejudice*, it is visually stunning. I just hope people give any version of *Jane Eyre* a chance. The 2026 *Wuthering Heights* is bad—bad, bad, bad... that’s two hours of my life I’ll never get back. Terrible! I don’t recommend it; it was weird.

Tania R

I may be going against the grain here, but I'd much rather you guys react to a new movie than revisit the 2005 version. You've just finished the gold standard that is the BBC's Pride and Prejudice, and I'd rather see a full-panel slot go to one of the many movies members have recommended. There are some great suggestions in this comment section too! Just my little two cents. 😅 Okay, I'm going to run away now. Pleasant day, gentlemen. 🏃‍♀️💕

Amber Walker

The more period stuff I watch with you guys the more I just know you’ll love Anne with an e if you get to it someday. Thanks for the reaction to this mini series. I love it. You can definitely feel the 90s filming of it but it’s still very good. Also Kiera knightly (Elizabeth in the movie) in the duchess is good too.

Aub

Loved this whole reaction and how much fun you guys had!! I’m also 100% on board for DD being part of a rewatch for the film. While definitely not nearly accurate, it still holds a special place in my heart as the ultimate comfort film 🥰

You guys should definitely watch North and South. It's available now on Prime Video

We'll have to agree to disagree because I'm not budging on this. The book is very clear that Elizabeth doesn't start liking Darcy until after she gets the letter, but also it's only after having read it many many times that her opinion of him starts to be more positive. And only when she meets him again in Pemberley and sees how much he's changed for the better does she start developing feelings for him, and hoping a renewal of feelings towards her. I've read the books so many times, both in English and in French, I listen to the audiobook every once in a while, so much so that I know basically everything by heart. It's my favorite book of all time, and I've read many essays about it. At no point is Elizabeth said to be unconsciously attracted to Mr. Darcy, not even hinted at. As soon as the Meryton ball, she disliked the man. It's not Bridgerton, there isn't secret passion between the characters. Until the first proposal, Darcy is the only one falling in love, mistaking Lizzie's verbal sparring as flirting and wanting his addresses when really, she just wants to challenge him. She knows he thinks highly of himself, and she refuses to defer to him. So when he says something pompous, judgmental, or provocative she pushes back. She's basically saying ''You think you're so superior to everyone? Fine! Im perfectly happy to puncture your ego''. I know what you're saying about the film, and I'm not disagreeing that it IS what they are trying to portray. I'm telling you it's simply not an accurate adaptation of the scene from the book. She doesn't discover that she secretly loved Darcy all along. She discovers that the man she thought she knew and loathed doesn't exist and then begins seeing the actual Darcy differently when she meets him again.

Rachel

Jane Austen's nephew wrote a book about her, and tells what she told the family about the characters' lives following the story. Kitty and Mary also marry, so Mrs. Bennet can finally relax. Not that she will. The modern retelling is Bridget Jones Diary, which others have mentioned, and Colin Firth is Darcy again. Gonna head to the site and put in a vote for it! I loved that you laughed through it and I really liked seeing all four of you together for the reaction. If you make a t-shirt that says "I send no compliments to your mother" I will buy it!

Amanda

Couldn't have said it better myself!🤣🥰

These reactions were so fun!!

Kiss the Librarian

@. Yes that's right, and I'm saying that both in the book and the 2005 adaptation, Elizabeth's conscious opinion of Darcy and her actual fascination with Darcy are not necessarily the same thing. The film definitely shows that she is consciously more interested in Wickham and mad at Darcy at first. Nuance.

can y'all react to the little princess (1995) movie?

Death comes to Pemberly is a sort of sequel with a murder mystery which I really enjoyed and if you want to see a Bollywood P&P I highly recommend Bride & Prejudice with Aishwarya Rai. I'll check and see if these are already in the recommendations!

I'm glad Lydia is happy because I'm sure as hell not 😂

Ep 5 DD: “How does Lestat refer to her in the show? Mama?” Others awkwardly: “It’s complicated.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Diamond Dave with “you give a shit about Wickham” is my spirit animal! His hatred for Wickham is so freaking enjoyable to watch. When the image of Mr. Darcy appeared in the mirror at 28:38, your reaction was priceless! It really is hilarious by modern standards! DD’s suffering during Lydia and Wickham’s conversation at 38:35 was so real and raw, hahaha 😂

Ep 6 DD’s resentful “What? Darcy? Punch him!” at 06:25, followed by the look he gave the rest of the guys, was a top-tier reaction to that wedding! And your disapproval when Mrs. Bennet gave Wickham a kiss cracked me up hard 😅😅😅 Colin Firth’s extremely stoic face throughout the show, even during the wedding ceremony, was something I didn’t notice (or didn’t remember) from my first watch, but your reaction to it made it so much funnier. 🤣🤣🤣 I really enjoyed your reaction to this adaptation, and I’m begging you to rewatch the 2005 Pride & Prejudice adaptation with Diamond Dave this time! He was my favorite during this reaction, though it’s usually Oak! And I’d love to hear whether Oak’s opinion of the movie changes after seeing this longer and more detailed version! But must said, I surprised DD gave only 3,7 score 😱 P.S. NO COMPLIMENTS TO YOUR MOTHER!!!!

Thank you guys for reacting to this. I really enjoyed watching along with your commentary. If you do check out the audiobook, Oak, try the one narrated by Rosamund Pike. She's an amazing narrator and she absolutely DOES do the individual voices for all of the different characters. It's top tier and stays on replay in my Audible. You guys should check out The Other Bennet Sister mini series. It's this story from Mary Bennets POV. It's very funny and heartfelt and focuses more on all of the side characters lives. A really excellent show.

EMMA (2009) is another Jane Austen BBC adaptation you guys should watch!! It’s one of my favorites. It’s also a mini series, only 4 episodes!!

Maisie

"Status in the shitter" killed me 😂

Did anybody else spot Mr Brookes from Bridgerton?

Paige

Yesssss Please watch the 2005 P&P again for DD!! I also added and acknowledged some other P&P adaptations that would be amazing if you watched (like the Mormon version: Pride and Prejudice: a Latter Day Comedy or my favorite, Bride and Prejudice --the Bollywood version). And definitely watch Emma (also by Jane Austen) so you can see the inspiration for Clueless!

WE GOTTA SEE DAVE'S REACTION TO THE MOVIE VERSION!

Sam

Mason Quinn you should def check out Gavin and Stacey seeing as you loved Alison Steadman so much in this. She plays the equally hilarious mother Pam and is a treat

Liked your reactions to the way "Shall"/"Naughty" was said hehe. The smarmy Wickham & hysterics of Mother Bennet scenes & your reactions to her & distain comments over him was golden entertainment!. 😄 Also you're correct, the backwards 2 fingers is an "F Off/F You" insult used in the UK. Yay for you doing the M' Lady notion ^_^ & for Oak wearing the Regal jacket on the finale too. Well at least Elizabeth/Jane got their happy endings & yep we had to wait til the finale for a big smile from Darcy. YES PLEASE DO A REWATCH OF THE P&P FILM, it'd be great to see if MQ/Oak/Answer's views are any different & be cool seeing what DD thinks as a first time watch. it's been a delightful time rewatching this with you fab fellas. ❤️💙💚

…I feel like it’s time to watch: Becoming Jane (loosely based off Jane Austen’s story of romance that may have inspired her novels) I feel like you all would enjoy it! I love how much you enjoyed the films and tv series adaptations! It’s been such a joy to share the love we all have for them 💕💕✨✨

So glad I finally got to binge your reactions. This series has been my go-to comfort show since I was young and I rewatch it often. I’m a huge Jane Austen addict so I’ve seen and read tons of adaptations and retellings. As for next watches, I HIGHLY recommend Bride & Prejudice, Bridget Jones, and Austenland for direct P&P adaptations; The Other Bennett Sister is a fantastic show from Mary’s pov; and I hope you can check out the 1995 Persuasion with Amanda Root and Ciarán Hinds (whatever you do, do NOT watch the Netflix 2022 adaptation, it’s atrocious). And if you’re looking for new period piece shows to get into, Downton Abbey and Gilded Age are both excellent

I would LOVE if you would react to "The Other Bennet Sister", it was released this year and is so so wholesome and accurate, yet for a modern audience. :)

folks, we MUST convince the boys to watch Pride & Prejudice & Zombies next! they enjoyed this series so much, and they are now ready to fully appreciate the ridiculousness that is that movie... and its excellent Mr Collins! 😁😁😁

Wickham lore [because you asked]: the book explains that he and Lydia were never particularly happy. He kept getting into debt, of course, and getting moved from one regiment to another. Lydia, meanwhile, kept trying to crash on the couches of one of her sisters for a few months and mooch out of them. And they often allowed them to visit and covered the cost of their stay, because Lydia is family, after all. So, disappointing ending for you but pretty realistic. Crappy people rarely change completely 🤷‍♀️ The second Pride & Prejudice & Zombies book has a more satisfying version of the Lydia/Wickham story, though, so I recommend you check that out if you want to feel that righteous vengeance was served 😁
