No Jane Austen fan? - Page 5

Yup it released last year with Keira as Anna, Jude Law as Karenin and Aaron Taylor Johnson as Vronsky.

Speaking of cold, even Keira used to come across as very cold to me at the start. She was nice in Pirates but I started to really appreciate her in P&P and then absolutely loved her in Atonement. Both were by Joe Wright. I have yet to see their Anna Karenina which got mixed reviews and was practically trashed in Russia. But for both of them willing to take a look.

 

But my favorite Elizabeth has to be Jennifer Ehle in the BBC P&P. She and Colin Firth together were so .

I love Jane Austen and mainly because she sees through people's politeness and correctness and into their true opinions and motivations. She's not afraid to call them out for their inconsistencies and absurdities. Her characters are so subtly drawn that it sometimes takes me a long while to really appreciate what makes them great. For instance, in Mansfield Park Fanny always seemed so boring and passive, but after several readings and a movie, she shines as one of the characters who has had to make the most difficult choices in her time: to openly defy her benefactor and stand by her decision not to marry into Henry. She doesn't need elaborate plot lines, exotic locales, or a whole lot of action to create the most engaging, entertaining, funny and insightful stories I have ever read. 😳 Edited by Edlyn - 10 years ago

I have only read Pride and Prejudice and Emma and I would to love to read more of her work because of her wit and her irony, but mostly due to her ability to remind us how to love. ❤️

Here's a bit of news for fans of the 1995 BBC Pride & Prejudice TV series: A 12 foot tall statue of Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy has been erected in Hyde Park, London. It marks the memorable "wet" Darcy scene where he emerges from the lake.

LOL .. they really made tht statue huh .. kill me .. i donoo where they get those ideas from hehehe

Here here *raising my hand up in the air* i am her fan i read Pride and prejudice of hers for the first time and i simply loved it. Then I read other books of her but storyline is kinda similar but the characters have stronger character sketch and i love the fact that the pure love blossoms btw the lead pairs without any need of strong physical intimacy and also the fact that how leads survive all the hurdles which are mainly caused by their family members of friends 😃
