As a world-class masterpiece, Pride and Prejudice has undergone many remakes, among which the 95-version miniseries starring the veteran male god Colin Firth are the most praised by fans of the original. It not only has the compact and exquisite British miniseries, but also depicts the inner changes of the characters and the humanistic customs of 19th-century Britain in detail, and the degree of restoration is so high that the fans of the original cannot fault it.
With this pearl in front, the subsequent remake is inevitably subject to contrast pressure, but the emergence of the 05 film version still contributes another different style of classic. This version of the plot adaptation is not perfect, limited by the length of the movie it condenses a lot of details, in the delicate 95 version of the contrast let many original fans have a micro-word.
However, aside from the "highly restored" attachment to the story intuitively, this movie is not as attractive as the drama version, and the unique picture style is even more tiresome to watch. The length of time makes it impossible for this film to take into account every detail of the original work and the portrayal of the characters like a mini-series, but it captures the temptation of "beauty" under the premise of retaining the essence of the original story.
It takes "beauty" to the extreme.

Before the actors appeared, the picture of the film had already caught the audience's attention, and its director Joe White's requirements for the aesthetics of photography were not inferior to our national teacher Zhang Yimou, and almost the first frame could be used as a screensaver. And its beautiful picture is not a showmanship, but an in-depth side-writing of the story through the language of the lens, which sets off the style of the original work.
As mentioned in the first seven episodes, the length of the film determines that it is difficult to fully present the chronological style portrayed in the original work, but if you watch it carefully, you will find that the places where the plot is condensed are supplemented in the picture. The director very cleverly focuses on the natural landscape and humanistic arts, and the characters constantly shuttle between nature and art, forming a unique lens style.
The story mainly takes place in the Nineteenth Century English township, so the film begins with a shot in the quiet countryside, where the sun rises and Elizabeth backlights out. People and scenery blend together, light and shadow interact, and the nineteenth century people's intimate living conditions with nature leap out of the blue, allowing the audience to quickly capture the living conditions at that time.
The characteristics of the age coupled with the heroine's love for nature, in the follow-up plot, there are many natural pictures, beautiful landscapes, vibrant forests, and tough canyons are presented one by one. In the shot of natural scenery, the director loves the two flexible elements of light and wind, and the male and female protagonists embrace each other in the morning sun, and the heroine thinks in the wind, which are all famous scenes.
What is more attentive is the symmetry of light and shadow before and after the movie picture, the heroine appears from the light at the beginning of the movie, the story unfolds from this, and the end of the movie is the male protagonist coming from the fog, and the love finally comes to fruition. The front and back pictures echo each other, witnessing their love in the early morning, and also depicting a romantic "beauty" story.
Humanistic arts are expressed in the "sense of oil painting", the film has crowds gathering or people and buildings in the lens, the color and composition are created in accordance with the classical oil painting style.
Leisure family time;
Noisy prom;
Quiet personal portrait;
Each shot is like a colorful oil painting, which is not only an eye-catching artistic creation, but also a sharp weapon to mobilize the audience's thinking. Through the lens of the film, the audience associates the story with the style of the times left by the artists, so that it is quickly integrated into the historical background of the story, enjoying the story at the same time, but also enjoying the scenery of the times.
The "beauty" of humanities and nature complement each other in the perfect combination of lens and story, bringing the audience a perfect visual feast and willingly being captured by the picture.

The beauty of the film's shots, there are people who have souls, and the characters are pleasing enough to make their souls more otherworldly.
It just so happens that the casting of this movie is as strict as the requirements for "beauty" as the scenery, and the audience may complain that its adaptation is not restored enough, and may be dissatisfied with the character personality and the original book is not suitable enough, but no one will complain that the actor's choice is not in place. Because of the overall high appearance of the character, even in Hollywood movies where handsome men and beautiful women gather, it is rare and very suitable for the role.
The heroine Elizabeth chose Kayla Knightley, who has long been among the top three in the world, and she has achieved the most beautiful Elizabeth, and Elizabeth has consolidated her "British Rose" label. The actor's delicate face and light and curvy figure allow Elizabeth to control the two different pictures of nature and humanity.
With the scenery, with people, and even the wind, she can be perfectly integrated, bringing visual enjoyment to the audience.
Of course, Kayla's occasional silly big sister smile is still a bit of a reduction in appearance, but world-class beauty has her advantages, even if the smile looks a little silly at first, it can slowly let the audience accept and find cuteness.
Darcy, the perfect male protagonist in the hearts of fans of the original, chose Matthew McFaedden, who is known as a "classical gentleman", and the actor's career focus is not on the big screen, and his popularity is much weaker than Kayla. But in darcy's screen representation, he is on par with Colin Firth, and even from the visual point of view, Matthew is even better.
At that time, Matthew, who was in his early 30s, was still at the peak of his appearance, and his face was angular and perfectly interpreted the appearance of a classical British gentleman, which was a "fairy casting" that made the audience admire. As long as you ignore the British hairline exposed by the wind at the end, Darcy's perfection will surely be deeply rooted in the audience, and it is difficult to be surpassed.
In addition to the male and female protagonists, the appearance of the supporting cast should not be underestimated, the temperament beauty Pei Chunhua, and the actor Rupert Flanders, who resembles the elf prince, have appeared. But all the characters with a little bit of appearance in the original work have been amplified by the "beauty" charm under the blessing of the film casting, so that the audience's liking for the role has risen indefinitely.
At the same time, these pleasing actors also make the visual effect of the aesthetic picture pursued by the director more outstanding.

The eye-raising of people and scenery is the finishing touch of the success of the film, but the real eye-raising movie must be the eye-nourishing and "heart-nourishing", and the beauty of the lens will not become a classic if it does not bring the touch of the heart. The touch of humanity and nature is temporary, and the core love story of "Pride and Prejudice" is the audience's long-lasting memory.
Objectively speaking, the intuitive plot and line adaptation of this movie can only be regarded as decent compared with the previous work, and it does not perfectly restore or innovate the content. However, its subtlety lies in the intuitive beauty of the love between the two people, and the director uses the method of excavating the beautiful scenery to "beautify" the love.
Darcy and Elizabeth's love line is more introverted, and the man's arrogance and the woman's prejudice are destined to make them unable to get along quickly, and they can't sugar at any time with sweet pets. In the whole movie, when the male and female protagonists first "talked" about love, the story was already halfway through, and the official untying of the knot had also entered the end of the story, and the real sugar shot was only the last two scenes.
However, love without "sugar" is throbbing everywhere.
Darcy, who is not good at talking, can't control his eyes the moment he meets Elizabeth, and as love ferments, his eyes become more and more melancholy and hotter. When the two people are still in the state of "strangers", Darcy's focused eyes have given the audience the illusion of ten thousand years, and the introverted feelings of the characters have been transformed into intuitive beauty "scenes".
Moreover, Matthew's eye drama is really a plus, and every day when he focuses on Elizabeth, the seven words will be reminiscent of Professor Snape, who first met Harry in Harry Potter. Two different actors interpret the same emotions in different works and times in the same way, which is more or less the case at a glance.
Moving eye chase coupled with Darcy's uneasy little hand, and Elizabeth's love without self-awareness of the portrayal, introverted love has turned into a bright "beauty", making the audience addicted. The director uses the lens language of literary and art films to present the emotional bondage of the characters to a high degree, so that the whole picture is both sultry and not dull, and the audience is satisfied from the eye to the heart.
In fact, the remake of famous works is a thankless task for creators, and the higher the enthusiasm of the audience, the more demanding it is, and it is difficult to meet the needs of all audiences. However, if the remake retains enough characteristics, it can leave its own traces in the comparison of excellent previous works, and the success of the 05 film version of "Pride and Prejudice" is like this.
It exerts the charm of "beauty" to the greatest extent, from scenery to people, and then from people to feelings, and shoots the story that the audience is already familiar with to a new realm of picture beauty and story beauty. Its "beautiful" charm eventually left the audience with the most eye-catching "Pride and Prejudice", leaving a new classic after the classic.
