Musicals, Musicals!
Ah, finally...I got a chance to sit down long enough to watch Bride & Prejudice. After watching the recent Pride & Prejudice (the one starring Kiera Knightley), this was a refreshing version of it. Well, Bride & Prejudice is a Bollywood musical version, complete with the singing and dancing, rocking and rolling, raining or water fountain scenes, sarees and all (wait, were there coconut trees or did I just missed them?). I was thoroughly amused each time they sang an English song but with a Hindi tune! It's a 2004 movie, so if some of you have watched it you must have enjoyed it like I did. If not, go get it. Mrs Pitt, you can watch it when you are back here. Just don't make me dance with you or use my furniture as make believe movie props! LOL...
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?
