This page is utterly and completely about..Pride & Prejudice
..the book..the movie..and the magic
Its such a simple old story.But as soon as i read it the very first time, I knew i was to read it many more times later.. His pride and her prejudice cause misunderstandings between the main characters and eventually as in all happy love stories, everything is wonderful by the end..giving happiness to the characters and the person reading this book.. sounds very very familiar.. ?? scratch your head.. might have been forced into reading it during the high school course work. YES.. !! i am talking about the most wonderfully written .. PRIDE & PREJUDICE by Jane Austen.... published first on Jan 29th 1813. The date happens to be my b'day.. !! what a coincidence.. (silly me.. ! :)) thinking about it... after more than 150 years ... someone like me was born on the exact same date,and that this book should be not only my most favourite book .. with the most favourite characters ever potrayed.. but it has become something like an obsession..to me !.. the smart and witty lizzy.. and the tall,handsome,Darcy..are irresistible... the chemistry between them is something so special.. As I have said before, there is nothing soooo different and spectacular if you just look for a story. I donno how to explain, guess you just have to read it at the right time in your life .. to fall in love with the book and the characters.If you still continue to read this confession of my obsession, may be you should read it.. ?? .. and then watch it.. the movie starring Colin Firth & Jennifer Ehle.. it was first screened as a mini-series on BBC in 1995 ( which i watched on satellite TV then..coincidental.. ) .. I did not know when i turned on the TV that i was going to watch this.. . ..and u wont believe me.. but i have tuned in during the first episode.. :) .. now i have my own VHS copy.. and have watched it more than 50 times.. my husband does'nt get it at all.. what is in that book..that i shud be so crazy about.. you too think i am really silly and crazy ?? may be i am.. but u know what.. ? there are many many fans of P&P out there.. more crazy than i am...People have fallen in love with colin firth for his portrayal of Mr.Darcy.. He is very charming ofcourse.. aptly cast for the role.. and he played it exceedingly well.. The author of " Bridget Jones' Diary " --the book.. was inspired to write that book.. after watching Colin's portrayal.. of Mr.Darcy. And recently the movie was made starring Colin Firth again.. as Mr.Mark Darcy ( the original being Mr.Fitzwilliam Darcy in P&P) .. there are fan - shrines for him all over the web.. dont believe me ?? check the following..
