      whose arrogance coincides with whose prejudice

      I have never felt that there is any great difference between the East and the West, especially when it comes to relationships and marriage.
              The more I read it, the more I feel that this is no different from many novels I've read, Gong Dou's house fighting. About the social order of sisters, about a daughter's reputation that affects all daughters, about aunts, about cousins, about sisters.
             About the elegant son of Shijia in fresh clothes and angry horses, about the...

      satire.

      Just like last summer, holding a copy of "Gone with the Wind" eagerly. However, they live in the UK.
      Countless people have asked me, have you read Pride and Prejudice? But shook his head with a smile. It has been hidden in the corner of the bookshelf, and once wanted to pick it up, it was kept away because of the seemingly esoteric title.
      There were too many ignorant prejudices in childhood. I didn't read "Pride and Prejudice", the beginning of prejudice.
      Initially, fascinated by...

      one of my favorite old movies

      I don't know how many times I've played it, but I still like it, and I've seen the color version of the Italian remake many times. Although there are problems such as low restoration of costumes, simple scenes, slightly exaggerated acting skills of actors, and many details not being shown, which leads to the rapid development of the plot, it cannot shake its status as a classic old movie. When I watched it, I was really amazed by Gregory Garson, so beautiful and the type of retro...

      Perfect Lizzy

      My favorite is Pride and Prejudice, which I personally think is the closest to the original version, especially Elizabeth Bennet (Lizzy) & Fitzwilliam Darcy performed by Greer Garson / Laurence Olivier. The acting skills of the two famous actors are evident from this. ; At the same time, the supporting roles in the play, such as the mother Mrs.Bennet also performed very vivid, very good, very humorous, a romantic comedy. In contrast, the 2005 remake of Keira Knightley's version is really...

      A classic from the golden age of Hollywood

      The British classics have been changed into the typical American Hollywood Golden Age style, and the happy ending can't wait for all the daughters of the Bennett family to be married out immediately. Despite this, I still like this film: I am fascinated by Lawrence Oliver's British gentleman's demeanor and Shakespeare's dramatic tone; I appreciate Greer Garson's unique temperament and the courage to play Elizabeth at the age of 36; what's more commendable is that the film retains the original...

      It's really far from the new version~ Lawrence-Oliver is not suitable to play Darcy at all~ And the most important turning point in the original work, the section of Beng Li Manor, is completely absent in this...

      I wanted to watch this one ever since read the book in junior high. And Laurence Olivier! back then the handsomest actor ever in my world. A typical romance from the golden age of cinema, but not from Austen's...

    Movie plot

    The protagonist of the film is the five daughters of the Bena family.

The relationship between the eldest daughter and Bentley began to develop smoothly, but at a critical moment there were twists and turns. The second daughter, Elizabeth, has serious prejudice against Darcy, who is arrogant....

    Evaluation action

    The actor selection is very successful, Darcy is handsome and Elizabeth is beautiful. Oliver was born in a William Shakespeare drama. Due to the different types of dramas, the actors generally have more stage effects, which are more exaggerated than ordinary movie actors. In contrast, the heroine performs better, but is too mature and perfect, making the audience feel more like an elegant lady in her thirties rather than a lively girl...

    Movie quotes

    • Sir William Lucas: Dancing is a charming amusement for young people. In my opinion, it's one of the first refinements of a polite society.

      Mr. Darcy: It has the added advantage, sir, of being one of the first refinements of savages. Every Huttentot can dance.

      Sir William Lucas: Oh, yes. Yes. Quite so.

    • Elizabeth Bennet: The man must be mad.

      Mr. Wickham: Mad? You're too charitable, Miss Elizabeth.

    • Mr. Wickham: Ahh! Polka mazurka! I didn't expect to find Meryton abreast with the new fashion!

      Elizabeth Bennet: You underrate us, Mr. Wickham. Meryton is abreast with everything. Everything except insolence and bad manners. Those London fashions we do not admire.
