Comparing Mr.Darc(ies)y

James MacAvoy from Becoming Jane

Elliot Cowan from 'Lost in Austen'

Colin Firth from BBC 'Pride &prejudice'

Pride &Prejudice directed by Joe Wright

Recently , I've come to have interest in Jane Austen after watching "Lost in Austen"

I did read Austen's Pride and Prejudice when I was in middle school.

But by then I was too little to understand what was taking place in the story.

I could not really sympathize with the british women living in that era as I did not have any back ground about details of that particular period.

So I blatantly regarded the Pride and Prejudice as ordinary and monotonous romance story.

And I belived that the only reason the novel was regared as classic was because it was written long ago and it have depic decription of how the woman in that era lived.

It was not after I have watched "Becoming Jane" when I have come to learn about the real value of Pride and Prejudice.

It is strange that I did not realised it even after watching the "pride and prejudice reformed and directed by joe wright.

(But I guess I could indulge into "Becoming Jane" with ease because of James MacAvoy.)

There are three reason why I did not like it ;
1.When I was in middle school I was too engrossed into Kafka and Camus(realism and all).So I de-evaluated any kinds of Romance stories
2.I believe that Pride and Prejudice's main plot is about two sisters marrying a rich men, which seemed to be ridiculous.
3. Even though I found the character "Mr Darcy" charming, I could not associate Colin Firth with the Mr Darcy. And I knew little about the BBC drama, Pride and Prejudice. -So I did know about Colin Firth. I watched "the girl with pearl earing" and I was really enchanted by the Rambrant(or Colin Firth).

내가 써 놓고도 뭔 소리를 하는지 모르겠다...
Anyway, I still agree with someone saying that 제인오스틴은 일류는 아니다.
But I really do fancy Mr.Darcy.
And the new Darcy in Lost Auten as really ...씽크로율100%
PERFECTLY fit into the Image of Mr.Darcy.
Although Colin Firth still remain as the ephidemy of Mr.Darcy in many womens' mind;;;
이건 콜린퍼스팬들이 한 얘기이다;;;ㅋㅋ

+I have heard that recently BBC filmed new version of Tess. Written by Tomas Hardy
Tess is one of the book that I hate the most.
And I'm still wondering why such book can be called as a Classics
but still, the movies made of Tess was always much better than its original version...

So I'm looking forward to see it anyway~
