This next film represents me more then my belief in its cinematic value, the perfect movie for a hopeless romantic. It is beautifully made including lots of symmetry and parallel shots. I liked how much the movie was consistent with the novel, a crime committed regularly now a days. Joe Wright, the director, did a beautiful job showing Austen's witty banter. I also agree with his casting decisions. Kiera Knightly does a great job playing Elizabeth. Rosamund Pike, Jane, was a graceful choice also. Judi Dench was perfect for the role of Lady Catherine. Last but not least, the soundtrack. Incredible, impeccable in every way. The piece they chose works seamlessly with the story line. It can easily be played in variations to show the mood of the movie. My favorite part if the setting. In the end of the movie when Lizzy confesses her love for Mr. Darcy they are walking in a field in the early morning. Film makers call this time "the golden hour." The sun is dazzling, shedding an ethereal light on everything it touches.
As you blog, I shall comment! Why is it 2:30 am and I just left your house? I cant sleep again. This is getting really annoying. This is a really good idea, Al. I've been wanting to do a blog since foeva but what to write about? Jennys got the fashion, you've got the movies...ideas? Pride and Prejudice: I saw it with Sophie years ago but for what I remember, I like it. Golden hour times infinity. Alan Rickman is in Sense and Sensibility...
