Shakespeare In Love/ Pride and Prejudice Two disc (DVD)

Having read and fallen in love with both Shakespeare In Love and Pride and Prejudice i was afraid to buy this DVD. Have you ever found that after enjoying reading a book you found that the Film just didn’t live up to the book? i have, so i didn’t want to be disappointed after watching the Film of both these books so i didn’t buy the DVD. My partner knew how much i loved the book so last Christmas on our five year anniversary he had bought me a collection of stuff i liked to show me that five years in he still loved me, within this collection i found both these movies and that evening we both sat through them and i was not disappointed. Both films lived up to my expectations, it was romantic, charming with a hint of comedy the perfect recipe for any of my movies.

What is Pride and Prejudice About?

For those of you who haven’t read pride and prejudice which i doubt are very few of you won’t know what happens in the story. Pride and prejudice is mostly based on the five Bennet sisters, as they go through their life looking for the potential suitors for them to marry, their mother aspires to marry her five daughters into wealth, their father is a more simpler man, he lets his daughters choose on who to marry and never forces them to make any decisions. the younger sisters aren’t very much in the limelight although they can be acknowledged. Jane falls for the rich Mr. Bingley but His sister and his best friend keeps them both apart, the man at fault for delaying his friend’s happiness is Mr. Darcy who later falls in love with Elizabeth (‘Lizzy‘). at first Mr. Darcy is shown as a closed person, he does not let himself enjoy anything and speaks very harshly towards Elizabeth, although you instantly know that both these fiery individuals will eventually end up together but as a result of great twists Jane Austin towards the end of the book puts these to very opinionated people together. The film runs for about roughly two hours so as you can imagine most of what happens in the novel is cut out of the film but still after watching the movie you know what's happened, if i was the director i would have put more aspects of the story in but the Joe Wright has done and absolutely brilliant job with this, he has taken a great story and made it into something out of this world.

What is Shakespeare in Love about?

Shakespeare in love is a beautiful story and is very close to my heart. It gives us a slight glimse into to Elizabethan theatre, with the dreams of a young woman who aspires to be in the works of a mans play, you can see her ambition as she goes as far as to dress up as man to act in a play. the cast of this movie should get recognition they offered so much charm and wit and innocence. John Madden has taken the story and showed us the importance and power of words. This movie has to be watched to be enjoyed.
