It was Lyn who told me to see it and I got my hands on a copy about 2 months back (thanks to KCC) but never got around to seeing it. Did you know that there are about 9 versions of Pride & Prejudice (movies, tv and mini-series - info from imdb.com) ? Mmm...come to think of it, even Bridget Jones' Diary had Mr Darcy too! The first one was screened on TV in 1938! That's 30 years before I popped out from my mom's womb like a fresh loaf of bread from the oven (yes, I associate most things/events with food!).Well, the lead actor, Martin Henderson, looks like Matthew McConaughey in certain scenes and of course the lead actress Aishwarya Rai (former Miss World for India 1994) looks fabulous though she put on 20lbs for her role. Watching the movie, I think she looks better with the weight gain! Of course, I can't be subjective on such a topic! Ha ha .... I love musical shows (especially the quirky ones), like 8 Femmes, a French movie. Next on my play list is The Producers. Are there any more of such movies?
From imdb.com - 8 Femmes

yes, so many versions of Pride and Prejudice but my favourite is still the BBC special with Colin Firth. The one with Kiera was just mediocre as compared to the BBC one. No one else can play the role of Mark Darcy except for Colin Firth. Bride and Prejudice was great fun .. please make room in your pad and we can dance along too.
ReplyDeletethis has nothing to do with musicals (oh btw, I saw the Producers on Broadway .. it was truly very funny - I am also waiting for the DVD) .. now back to purpose of this . Did you design the Fruity website? The food looks absolutely delicious!! Please bring me there :0
ReplyDeleteMy friend (an aussie) told me to watch Bride & Prejudice, and I loved it. I have the DVD at home (it was on special $4.95 so I thought why not).
ReplyDeleteColin Firth's Darcy is timeless. Love him to bits (Droolsss).
I borrowed the dvds of the BBC's Pride and Prejudice again .. gonna watch Colin again in that wet white shirt!!!
