great job by the director. i'm not sure i know enough about jane austen or her novels. i sure have read 'pride and prejudice' and 'sense and sensibility' and loved the complex characters and the drama. but i never studied them so much or re-read them. maybe i should. i know if i can read just the first page --like dean in the movie--someone read it out to me please, then i'd be motivated enough to read the rest.the first thing that caught my attention was the title.
this is a delightful and refreshing drama, and yes it's got a good script and a bunch of actors who really can act. the opening montage was cool, had little to do with the movie as such but that was enough to give me confidence to make me throw away the remote control and sit back and decide to watch the movie without suspecting if i'd need to fastforward.
watch it, u know anything that has anything to do with jane austen comes with a guarantee. the movie is quite predictable, but has predictability really ever taken away the excitement from life and movies?
these days i find predictability extremely satisfying!
