“And then the music that starts at the window you´ll recognised as being the music that we first hear when we enter Longbourn at the very, very beginning of the film. And the reason why I used the same piece of music is because it would remind her of home. That finding the person you´re supposed to be with is like coming home. And that, even though this house is so completely different from her house, it´s the same spirit, the same music moves there”.

200 years ago, a day like today, Jane Austen’s novel Pride & Prejudice was first published. Great stories give authors the gift of permanence in a world they may not be in forever, and this one is indeed a great story. Everyone who has enjoyed it, re-told it, shared it, may have their own reasons to why this story is great. In my case, I think it’s an honest journey of different people, as real as they can be. There is love that is, as in life, not perfect and that can be born from two very different perspectives colliding in heated conversations, instead of a fairytale true love’s kiss. There are people who make mistakes and learn from them, instead of perfect heroes we can’t ever reach. There is self discovery and mutual understanding in an epic battle that happens within people, instead of outside them. And so, it is a story that can be told in many ways by many perspectives, but it never loses its magic.

~8 days of Pride and Prejudice {3/8}

She said no more, and they went down the other dance and parted in silence; on each side dissatisfied, though not to an equal degree, for in Darcy’s breast there was a tolerable powerful feeling towards her, which soon procured her pardon, and directed all his anger against another.

“I didn’t want to cast people who looked like each other though. What I did rather, was to find mannerisms that they all shared.”

How important one touch can be.

parallels: I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun…

Lizzie: Do you dance Mr. Darcy? Mr. Darcy: Not if I can help it.

“My take on Mr. Darcy was that this is a man who is a homesick. He is no good at conversing with people on trivial subjects. He is obviously bored  with those young women he´s introduced to. He rather be anywhere but where he is at the beginning. In the Assembly ball Elizabeth understands, just by seeing him that  he is uncomfortable there.”
