Prejudice without the pride

That's not a reflection on the movie, it's a reflection on me -- I wondered why we needed yet another version of this story, but I must admit, they did an admirable job. Such a luscious presentation too, with gorgeous shots of scenery and period costumes, etc. I agree with the many critics who approve of the casting and hope this version is remembered as the "Kiera Knightley version" (the filmmaker pointed out that previous versions are all marked by the actor playing Darcy - the Colin Firth version, the Laurence Olivier version - which isn't fair, since Lizzie is the key to the story).
