Pride And Prejudice.

".....I love you...most ardently.."

"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."

-Mr. Darcy-

I am very fond of romantic movies particularly the ones that include English accent in it; and I will always be whole-heartedly engaged with the emotional journeys the characters had to undergo before they finally realize they are in love with each other.

This specific movie that I've watched yesterday; Pride and Prejudice (2005), seemingly beautiful and rather generously feed my romanticism need of happy ending. Both Elizabeth Bennett(Keira Knightley) and Mr. Darcy(Matthew Macfayden) look so well together, matched very finely in so many aspects - I dare to say, one of the best movie-screen couple I've ever seen. The accent is just right to fit my fancy. But somehow, I couldn't feel fully satisfied as if something was missing. I watched it a few times in hope to nail what is lacking in any of the scenes. The pieces are put together so accordingly, I didn't even feel bored watching it over and over again.

Just like Kathleen Kelly(Meg Ryan) in 'You've Got Mail" said, " Confession, I have read Pride and Prejudice about 200 times! ....I am always in agony over whether Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy are really going to get together...read it, I know you'll love it!".

I shall read it soon.

But still, something is missing or shall I say, incomplete. The movie ended too soon, perhaps.

I want to see more of Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy!


Note: 7:33pm; Sarinah made me realize, there isn't any kissing scene at all in this movie...see, 'romantic' isn't always need physical display of affection! Heh.
