| Movie Review: Pride and Prejudice by Dan Foster

 |
My niece said there were women ages 13 to 80 in the theater watching the movie
Pride and Prejudice and heard many of them, after the movie, saying how much they liked it. Wouldn't it be great if every woman could find their Mr. Darcy?
Pride and Prejudice, is a good movie, but, let's not go overboard here. No way can it touch the
BBC version shown on PBS.
The new Lizzie had a really good smile and did a fine job but she didn't come close to having the "bustees" that the BBC Lizzie had; it was the custom to show off some cleavage in those days I guess; the interesting thing, however, is that those who seemed to be less endowed showed no signs of stigma or suffering.
My favorite character in the old version was Mr. Collins, the minister, who wanted Lizzie's hand in marriage. David Bamber, was great as Mr. Collins and to think he is now an aristocrat in HBO's Rome. Ain't life grand.
See the new version of Pride and Prejudice. Movies are great! Just think, you're in the movie and everybody there has seen the BBC version ten times, most have read the book, everybody knows what is going to happen; and, yet, at the end everybody is teary-eyed and cheering. God bless America.
