Pride & Prejudice

 I read this novel through a class. I suggest that everybody reads this novel.

 I introduce this novel. Pride & Prejudice is a 2005 British romance film directed by Joe Wright and based on Jane Austen's 1813 novel of the same name. The film depicts five sisters from an English family of landed gentry as they deal with issues of marriage, morality and misconceptions. Keira Knightley stars in the lead role of Elizabeth Bennet, while Matthew Macfadyen plays her romantic interest Mr. Darcy. Produced by Working Title Films in association with StudioCanal, the film was released on 16 September 2005 in the United Kingdom and Ireland and on 11 November in the United States.
Screenwriter Deborah Moggach initially attempted to make her script as faithful to the novel as possible, writing from Elizabeth's perspective while preserving much of the original dialogue. However, Wright, who was directing his first feature film, encouraged greater deviation from the text, including changing the dynamics within the Bennet family. Wright and Moggach set the film in an earlier time period and avoided depicting a "perfectly clean Regency world", presenting instead a "muddy hem version" of the time. It was shot entirely on location in England on an 11-week schedule. Wright found casting difficult due to past iconic performances of particular characters. The film makers had to balance who they thought was best for each role with the studio's desire for stars. Knightley was well-known due in part to her work in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series, while Macfadyen had no international name recognition.
The film's themes emphasise realism, romanticism and family. It was marketed to a younger, mainstream audience; promotional items noted that it came from the producers of 2001 romantic comedy Bridget Jones's Diary before acknowledging its provenance as an Austen novel. Pride & Prejudice earned a worldwide gross of approximately $121 million, which was considered a commercial success. Pride & Prejudice earned a rating of 82 percent from review aggregator Metacritic, labelling it universally acclaimed. It earned four nominations at the 78th Academy Awards, including a Best Actress nod for Knightley. The film has failed to match the cultural impact of the 1995 version, though Knightley has become associated with her character among younger viewers. Austen scholars have opined that Wright's work created a new hybrid genre by blending traditional traits of the heritage film with "youth-oriented filmmaking techniques."

 These are my favorite seane.
-RESPECT a feeling that you like and respect yourself and that you deserve to be respected by other people
-TOO MUCH PRIDE a belief that you are better than other people and do not need their help or support
-Mr. Darcy had at first scarcely allowed her to be pretty；he had looked at her without admiration at the ball；and when they next met, he looked at her only to criticize. But no sooner had he made it clear to himself and his friends that she had hardly a good feature in her face, than he began to find it was rendered uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark eyes. To this discovery succeeded some others equally mortifying. Though he had detected with a critical eye more than one figure of perfect symmetry in her form, he was forced to acknowledge her figure to be light and pleasing；and in spite of his asserting that her manners were not those of the fashionable world, he was caught by their easy playfulness.
