Comparing the Old Movie and the New Movie of Pride and Prejudice email this discussion to a friend?

We get TCM so we did watch the old black and white movie, and also the new one and it seems that they are a bit different. In the old movie, everyone got married even the plain one who was more interested in playing the piano than in meeting boys. I did find the new version better in showing that the father had a farm and that the house overlooked the barn yard and it showed how people acted in those days and that when a man only had daughters, they did not inherit the property when he died, so they had to get married off and having a large dowry was better.
The old one was very romantic and the new one was rare also in that everyone could see it, unless many of the films nowadays. So what movie did you like the best? Oh did it compare favorably to the book or did the put in things that were not in it or kept things out that should have made it clearer?

hello suspenseful

i have never heard of this movie before or seen it. but it looks like a very good movie to watch. i have gathered some information about the movie Pride and Prejudice and i hope that you enjoy it.

The story takes place at the turn of the 19th century in rural England. The Bennet family, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet and their five daughters - Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty, and Lydia - live in comparative financial independence on a working farm, Longbourn. Unfortunately, Longbourn is destined to be inherited by Mr. Bennet's cousin, Mr. Collins. As a result, Mrs. Bennet is anxious to marry off her five daughters before Mr. Bennet dies. However, Elizabeth, the heroine, is convinced that she will never marry unless she is compelled by true love.

oh and i would rather watch the newer version of the movie versus the older one.

I read all of Jane Austin's books, and this is one of my favorites. I loved the costumes and how different the manners were in those days. I found the first movie, well it was not authentic because, the costumes were dated more like in the later Victorian times, while in the newer movie, they were more authentic and suited to the early 19th century, but I figure in the first movie, they were under financial restraints as it was around the time of the Second World War.

To me the newer version is better, it is an improvement from the older movie.Things are so much better now and they make so many improvements, it makes you almost wonder if it is the same old movie..I noticed in lots of the older movies they have redone them and put them in color and they have also changed them for the better...I still enjoy the old movies anyway, they are different and untouched, and i do like old movies...

I like the newer version, but I do like old movies. The newer version is more historically accurate.

nnot seen the new one really dont remeber the old one and never read the book . But i would probably like both!


myLot reputation of 76/100. suspenseful (17038)   ranked 2 out of 38 in pride and prejudice  2 years ago

The book was by Jane Austin, and she also write "Sense and Sensibility, and Emma." She was the romance author of her day. You will like both, I do, but the new one the best. I hope to get it in DVD but since it is in Blue Ray, and as I want the high definition version, I might have to get a Playstation 3 to play it on, and I do not play games. I am trying to build up my high definition movies.

In almost all cases I like the book best, then the older movie, then the newer ones least. There are a few exceptions. Recently, we saw a movie that was actually better than the book, but I cannot remember at the moment which one it was.


myLot reputation of 76/100. suspenseful (17038)   ranked 2 out of 38 in pride and prejudice  2 years ago

It usually is the case. I have not read the book Pride and Prejudice for some time, and I find in most cases the book is better, but in this case, they only left out the non essential parts in the movie while in other books I have read they left out quite a bit.

Pride and Prejudice is one of my all time favorite books and love stories. I have read the book I think three times at least.

I have seen the BBC version of if with Colin Firth (I own it on DVD) and thought it was wonderful and did a very good job staying as true to the book as it could.

I have also seen the most recent version with Kiera Knightly, and I enjoyed it very much but not as much as the BBC version. I have not ever seen the version you mention, suspenseful. I will have to look for it.


myLot reputation of 76/100. suspenseful (17038)   ranked 2 out of 38 in pride and prejudice  2 years ago

I have not seen all of BBC version, but what I did see I liked. I will have to see if it is at Future Shop, Best Buy or order it from Amazon.com. I know it was at Future Shop before Christmas. I will have to add it to DVDS I would like to own.

Thank you for the BR, suspenseful!:) I hope you enjoy the movie whenever you get a hold of it.
