19 Years Later, Interesting Facts About the Film ‘PRIDE & PREJUDICE’ - The Charm of Mr. Darcy Never Fades

In 2005, a film titled PRIDE & PREJUDICE was released as one of the famous adaptations of the romantic novel by Jane Austen, published anonymously in three volumes in 1813. This work is a classic of English literature written with sharp wit and exceptional character portrayal.

PRIDE & PREJUDICE focuses on the complex relationship between Elizabeth Bennet, an intelligent and strong-willed woman, and Mr. Darcy, a wealthy yet aloof man. Initially, Elizabeth dislikes Darcy due to his arrogance, but over time, they begin to understand each other.

The film also offers deep insights into life in 19th-century England, where viewers can enjoy the beauty of its landscapes while exploring themes of love, social class, and prejudice that remain relevant today.

Directed by Joe Wright and starring Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennet and Matthew Macfadyen as Mr. Darcy, this adaptation successfully presents a complicated and emotional love story set in Regency England. 

The film effectively depicts the emotional complexities and social status conflicts among the characters. It not only captures the attention of modern audiences but also receives praise from critics for the outstanding performances of the cast, the refined screenplay, and its ability to maintain the essence of Austen's work.

Matthew Macfadyen was initially considered too different from the iconic version of Mr. Darcy portrayed by Colin Firth in the series PRIDE & PREJUDICE (1995). However, Macfadyen ultimately won the hearts of many fans with a softer and more emotional interpretation of the character.

Keira Knightley, who played Elizabeth Bennet, was only 20 years old when filming began.

The film's musical score was composed by Dario Marianelli, who received great acclaim for his work. The compositions he created blend classical music with a style that fits the Regency era.

The costumes in PRIDE & PREJUDICE, designed by Jacqueline Durran, reflect the fashion of the Regency era with authentic details. Each design not only beautifies the film's visuals but also enhances characterization, such as the changes in Mr. Darcy's costume.

As the story progresses, these layers decrease, depicting his transformation into a more open and humble figure. Details like this provide visual depth that enriches the film's narrative.
