Loads of great reasons why everyone h...Hi everyone!<br />Loads of great reasons why everyone has their own fav!<br />I have read all of JA's books and watched everyone of any adaptation that has ever been made.<br />I studied P&P in High School in 1980! And I fell in love with David Rintoul's Darcy for many years until Colin Firth's awesome portrayal as everything I'd ever imagined Darcy to be. Tall handsome dark haired. Aloof and totally tongue tied around a vivacious Lizzy!<br />Matthew Macfadyen I think has given us a new dimension to Darcy, particularly the vulnerability. I think given the chance to shine in a six hour miniseries he would be awesome too!<br />I love Elliot Cowan's Darcy. I truly agree with all of you that have loved them all and appreciated what each actor has given the role.<br />My all time favourite Lizzy will always be Elizabeth Garvie in the 1980 version. I think she captures the very essence of Lizzy.<br />TSBO devotee<br />VeeVeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10834446584740466339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102594967020232402.post-79839786176361219172009-08-25T04:48:55.107-04:002009-08-25T04:48:55.107-04:00Many thanks for this review!

It's just that I see Colin Firth more like a "dad" Mr. Darcy (if that makes any sense? maybe because I'm 22? i don't know). <br /><br />now, I'm really curious about the ending in the UK and the rest of the world version of the '05 film. how did it end? there was no kiss? because that's one of my favorite scene :)Michelle and Leslie's Book Pickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04020202728970752152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102594967020232402.post-80216104414122445992009-08-24T15:24:33.459-04:002009-08-24T15:24:33.459-04:00Oh, agreed, Colin Firth!

Eventually it made it's way over the pond to the USA. Then I made my fiance watch it - after 4 hours he wanted to know what he got himself into.HBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16527686964616771988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102594967020232402.post-39454034114716211032009-08-24T14:40:34.107-04:002009-08-24T14:40:34.107-04:00Colin Firth for me, there is absolutely no questio...Colin Firth for me, there is absolutely no question. I tried to like Macfadyen, really did, but I felt somehow that he didn't <i>get</i> it. Actually, I felt the whole movie didn't <i>get</i> it, so perhaps it wasn't his fault. :)<br /><br />And while it's not an P&P adaption, I did also enjoy Elliot Cowan as Mr. Darcy in Lost in Austen.Christy Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06821023460317956914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102594967020232402.post-37954494052148933462009-08-24T13:44:56.390-04:002009-08-24T13:44:56.390-04:00I love these movies also.

BUT, as I am continually forced to clarify, Colin Firth is a delicious man and wonderful as Darcy. Just, IMHO, not as perfect as Matthew. <br /><br />Has anyone seen Lost in Austen? Elliot Cowan was a fantastic Darcy. Almost as good as Matthew! LOL! Actually his portrayal was more in line with how Firth played the role, but Cowan is younger and very handsome.<br /><br />As for versions: They all have their pros and cons. Again, the '05 movie is my fav, but the miniseries is wonderful as well. Never can get enough Austen! <br /><br />Great discussion, Alaine. And thanks for the videos. I always love the visuals.<br /><br />See ya tomorrow!!!

It was a really good movie and true to the book. In my mind, he was Darcy, until I saw the '05 version with Colin Firth. It's hard to see Firth now in any other role. <br /><br />Now I must go and find the BBC miniseries and watch it.Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05226165045692713370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102594967020232402.post-62124510198321774282009-08-24T04:12:25.053-04:002009-08-24T04:12:25.053-04:00Darcy is Firth and will always be to me :D Sure th...Darcy is Firth and will always be to me :D Sure the other one is good, but firth, I so see it.
