Pride and Prejudice (2005) is a romantic drama film directed by Joe Wright.

Starring Keira Knightley

as the main character - Elizabeth Bennet and Matthew Macfadyen as her romantic interest Mr.
Darcy, it is based on the novel of the same name written by Jane Austen.
The action takes place during the late 18th century in rural England: the Bennet family finds out
about the arrival in the town of a new gentleman – Mr. Bingley. Along with him comes Mr. Darcy –
a rich, but arrogant and proud man. He is viewed poorly by almost everyone, including Elizabeth,
the second daughter of the family, but little does she know that she is the subject of Mr. Darcy’s
admiration. After a series of events, Elizabeth gets rid of her prejudice against Mr. Darcy, and the
latter works on his arrogance, which results in them marrying each other.
The first thing that caught my eye while watching the film was the magnificent cinematography:
the camera angles and movements captured quite well the beauty of the rural landscape and the
tensions of the plot. Keira Knightley was the perfect cast for the protagonist, and the locations
were specifically chosen to match the time period. However, I think the plot was rather rushed,
because many of the scenes from the book were not included.
Overall, I enjoyed the film immensely, and you will like it too if you are a romance fan who is tired
of the same identical love stories portrayed nowadays in cinemas.
