"Sometimes the last person on earth you want to be with is the one person you can't be without."

People who have seen the previous version [1995 - Colin Firth's hit] of this Jane Austen's adaptation would love to disagree with me, but if you're watching Pride & Prejudice on screen for the first time [disregard the desi version], you will find Joe Wright [the director]'s version a romantic delight!
The movie / novel is a story set in medieval England, Keira in the role of a senseful, independent minded woman Miss Elizabeth Bennet and the very handsome Mathhew Macfayden in the role of a pained young gentleman Mr Darcy. The story spins around the Bennet family where Mrs Bennet is desperate to find rich suitors for her daughters. Step in Mr. Darcy.....a friend of Mr. Bingley, an eligible enough bachelor for any of Mrs. Bennet's daughters. Miss Bennet finds an insensitive jerk in Darcy but destiny brings them together and how this happens along with a lot of other things is the movie!!
Now the technical part...The screenplay by big screen debutant Deborah Moggach is extravagant and splendid at times and weak at other times....the sunshine mountain scene with Keira was found completely baseless and inappropriate. But other parts......the scene when Darcy first proposes to Lizzie flows naturally.....the rain, the tears in Macfayden's eyes....awesome it is! Another scene is when Liz is on the rope swing, round and round she goes, world changing just like weather..... rain, sunshine, wind.....everything right there, infront of her.....just as she goes round and round and round. I personally thing Joe has done complete justice to the script.....though the script is nigh incomparable to the novel. The script tries hard enough to fit in all the characters and the scenes but fails to deliver......you wont find much of Miss Bingley or even Mr Darcy....you'll actually miss Macfayden much on the screen.
But, finally [[I have to say this], its a Very VERY WELL MADE movie......probably one of the best that I've seen in recent times. Its put together brilliantly.....Macfayden...he takes over the screen completely, exactly the same for Brenda and Donald [Mrs & Mr Bennet]. It is a paisa vasool movie and if you like good movies at all, you SHOULD go watch it.....COMPULSORY!!!! All you lovers too.....go watch the movie [with or without your sweethearts' ....thats completely left to you]
