Idk how to describe it, but George Emerson and Mr Darcy are on exact opposite ends of romantic lead spectrum yet both possess insane amounts of autistic swag just executed in wildly different ways
Bring men back who yearn.
While I absolutely love the 1995 Pride and Prejudice adaptation, the 2005 version has some of my favorite filmmaking and cinematography.
The dance scenes are energetic, the camera constantly moving, following and showing out main characters but also makes the audience feel like they are there as well. The closeness of the camera, the large amount of people in an enclosed space really sets the atmosphere.
And in contrast, whenever the rich are shown on screen (Lady Catherine de Bourg's place) the people and camera are still, the blocking like that of a painting.
The way the sisters are shot makes them really feel like family. They are constantly close to each other, literally in each other's business.
The look these two give each other when they are finally on the same page and getting engaged. Shy, excited, in love.
The change in camera angles on Darcy as Lizzie and Darcy become closer. First the camera tilts up slightly when they are juxtaposed, but then at a straight angle when they are more equal in their feelings.
Tracking shots! So many beautiful tracking shots.
Mr. Darcy making it up to Bingley by acting as Jane while Bingley nervously practices proposing.
And of course the hands! Nothing more romantic than this.
The closeness to the book is great in the 1995 adaptation and I would be remiss not to include this gif in any post about Pride and Prejudice.
My absolute favorite portrayal of a father and daughter. In this one scene, I have the privilege of seeing a reflection of me and my own dad which never fails to bring tears to my eyes.
Thank you, Mr Sutherland
i wanted a wedding scene so bad 😭😭😭

I feel attacked
Me, every day: Me? Romantic? Please, I’m not 12.
Me watching Pride and Prejudice (2005) mouthing along: If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings had changed, I will have to tell you, you have bewitched me body and soul and I love…I love… I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.
