Happy Endings

"Pride & Prejudice (2005) is my first film with a happy ending. Before, I naively thought they were a cop-out, but now I've come to believe that happy endings and wish fulfillment are an incredibly important part of our cultural life".

Keira Knightley

Director Joe Wright was not initially keen on Keira Knightley playing Elizabeth, believing her to be too attractive. He changed his mind upon meeting her, deciding her tomboyish attitude would be perfect for the part. Or, as she tells it on The Graham Norton Show (2007): "He initially thought I was too pretty, but then he met me and said 'Oh, no you're fine!'."

Learning From My Peers

I loved the historical background info that you shared in different posts on your padlet! There is so much that isn't covered in the film and it's helpful to have some knowledge of what was going on during the time period.
