Self Discovery

I went and saw the new Pride and Prejudice the other day, having quite shamefully never seen or read any versions before. I REALLY really liked the film and the stroy and everything (it's funny how many purists despise the film, and the not-so-purists love it) but the I did discover something slightly unexpected.

I never thought myself to be one of those girls who'd swoon over Mr. Darcy. I always thought he'd be too much of a boring arrogant twonk for my liking. But DAMMIT! Did I ever swoon. Matthew MacFadyen in that film just does it so brilliantly I couldn't help but swoon whenever he appeared, especially in the scene in the rain...


Grrrrrrrrr...............

So I basically played out in my thoughts exactly what Jane Austen was trying to say with the 'Prejudice' part. Well, my name is Elizabeth after all...
