What is it about Pride and Prejudice (with Kera Knightley) that makes me love it so much?
Is it that the heroine is nothing short of boyish in figure and a has a tomboyish attitude to boot that makes me love Elizabeth so much?
Is it that fact that Mr. Darcy can say "I love you . . . most ardently" to her and you can feel the desperate passion in the statement or the moment after Lizzie cuts his proposal down in honor of her family that he finds lacking and they each glance towards the others lips with longing and lean in slightly before Mr Darcy quickly retreats? (I love that moment!!!)
The only thing that I dislike about the movie, is the length of the scene in which Mr Darcy walks across the field toward Lizzie to again propose and be accepted?
I must admit that this movie almost makes me love Donald Sutherland more that Keifer because of his outstanding performance as a father. (Almost mind you!)
Its on again, and Jeff is rolling his eyes as a sneak in to watch it when he doesn't need me to help hang dry wall.
I can't help it, I love Jane Austin on film.

I love all of those movies! Sense & Sensibility. Emma. Pride & Prejudice. All of them.
They are a great way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon. Jay won't watch them with me, so they are usually on when I'm scrapbooking the basement.
Dry wall, Jane Austin, dry wall, Jane Austin. Uplifting job, uplifting story. Nice combo!!!
[I heard once (from Rev Kim) that life is 75% routine and 25% our choice. Nice choice for the free time.]
