I love 1995 P&P and therefore enjoyed seeing Colin Firth as Mark Darcy especially in the first scene at the New Year turkeu curry lunch ...lol! I didn't notice Crispin Bonham-Carter or Lucy Robinson though! I'll have to go back and watch. The Edge of Reason was a bit darker in parts - I loved the scenes with Mark and almost cried when they broke up but I didn't see many parallels to an Austen. I loved the interview ...lol!! I also enjoyed Hugh Grant's performance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954683999390981517.post-42562569262153337072010-09-20T11:08:06.334+02:002010-09-20T11:08:06.334+02:00Hi MG, I'm a bit of a saddo, as I watched BJD ...Hi MG, I'm a bit of a saddo, as I watched BJD 5 times at the cinema when it first came out and several times on video and dvd, after reading the book 2 o 3 times. I love(d) both as they are and not as a modern interpreation of P&P. Didn't even know that The Edge of Reason was loosely based on Persuasion. Surely I couldn't notice it in the film. I think that trying too much to find parallels between a classic and a modern interpretation can sometimes spoilt a bit of the fun of watching the film in itself. The BJ's interview with Colin Firth is fantastic, pity that they didn't manage to reproduce it inside TEOR. Thanks for remind me of that. Ciao.

I cannot remember very well, but I believe they changed quite a lot in the second movie...even more than in the first) <br /><br />But nevertheless I liked the first book (and the first movie) better than the sequels.Elizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01120928357762748129noreply@blogger.com
