The mini-series “Pride and Prejudice” is a very accurate projection of the original novel. This is a very well know novel. It is now considered a classic. The author of this novel is Jane Austin. It was published in 1813.  Jane Austin is one of the most known writers in the world.

In the series just like the book it begins with the Benet family coming back from church. Mrs. Benet (Alison Steadman) informs the family of the new neighbors who have come in town. She has heard that a single man of great fortune has come to their neighborhood. She convinces her husband to go and get acquainted with the new neighbor in the hopes of him getting married to one of her daughters not knowing he has come with a friend.
One of the main characters is Elizabeth Benet (Jennifer Ehle) often called Lizzy, the second oldest girl of the family. She is a pretty, intelligent young lady with lots of charm and wit. The oldest was Jane Benet (Susannah Harker). The pretties of all of the sisters and soft hearted. But she was not as smart as Lizzy.

The new neighbor is Mr. Bingley (Crispin Bonham-Carter) a tall, fair, handsome, and friendly gentleman who has come with his friend Mr. Darcy (Colin Firth) a tall, dark, handsome, and very rich gentleman. Mr. Darcy was a very proud, cold, and self-righteous man. He did not accept anybody lower than his social status. Mr. Bingley was the opposite for he did not mind the status at all.

During the series they all go to the ball where the two girls and men encounter. Jane and Bingley hit it off write from the start but Darcy and Lizzy don’t like each other so much. As the plot starts off on a rocky start it gets worse but the end comes as a plot twister.

Colin Firth has acted in another movie in which his character is so different from this one that you really get to see how good of an actor he is. He acts in “Mamma Mia” as a potential father to a girl who does not know which one of her mother ex boyfriends is her father. In “Pride and Prejudice” he is very closed off and stiff, where as In “Mamma Mia” he is very easy going and free.

If you like to watch romantic movies with drama and plot twisters this is the one for you.
