New "Pride & Prejudice" movie

<p>P&P report - I liked it better than I thought I would - so did DD. Agree with the summation of Darcy, would have made a great Heathcliff, or in a few years Mr. Rochester.
The BIG glaring anachronism that I saw was the lack of headgear - Keira must have had it in her contract that nothing was to obscure her face - no lady would have been seen in public without a hat. It suffered from being so short - just like Goblet of Fire, those who had not read the book could get easily lost. If you didn’t know enough about Regency England to know that the whole family would be ruined by Lydia, then it didn’t quite make sense.</p>

<p>One addition that I thought worked well, or at least DD and I loved it, was the brief, almost wordless scene between Darcy and Bingley, in between final trips to Longbourne to propose. Calling the prior trip “a disaster” was another glaring anachronism, but it fit perfectly, and I think the distraught young man summoning the courage to propose, and being bucked up by his friend, probably transcends time and culture - we loved that scene.</p>
