Who are the characters in the film Pride and Prejudice?

Pride and Prejudice (1938-2005) has nine editions.

First of all, the 1938 version stars Coolvin Louis and Andrew Osborn. This is the first Austin film and television work, produced by BBC. The whole play lasted for an hour without leaving any message.

2. 1940, starring Gloria Jason and laurence olivier, is the first film version of Austen's novels.

Gloria Jason looks tall and burly at first glance, but on closer inspection, I think she shows Liz's lovely, alert, witty and elegant side. It's just that sometimes Darcy seems rude and a little arrogant. For example, as soon as he refused Darcy's invitation to dance, he turned and promised Wickham, leaving poor Darcy angry.

Laurence olivier, from the first impression, feels the closest to the original among all versions, because he seems to be the only one who can look so handsome without smiling. It is said that if we put together the stills of the third edition (the 05 edition has not yet been published), Darcy will be chosen by someone who has only seen the original work and has never seen any adaptation, and it will always be our Sir Oliver. The aristocratic gentleman style that can't be covered is beyond the reach of others. However, the image belongs to the image, and compared with the original, it belongs to the most unlike one. The most fatal point is that arrogance is insufficient and hospitality is more than enough. Looking at the picture under the heading, we can see that the old jazz is also very dissatisfied with this one. Besides, I'm sorry that Vivien Leigh missed the film.

This version of Pride and Prejudice is an American film, and it was a black-and-white film at that time. The whole film is concise, and many plots in the original work have been deleted. Oliver Si Tong and Jason play Mr Darcy and elizabeth bennet respectively. Among them, the heroine's intelligence and wisdom are interpreted just right by Jason, and even because of her excessive reason, she is more like the eldest daughter of the family. Among them, her prejudice against Darcy is one of the dramatic conflicts in the novel, and she seems to lose her temper when she is angry. Because this performance appeared in a movie with too many plots deleted, it made her passive in the transformation with plots and characters' thoughts, making it seem to develop too fast. Mr Darcy of Olivier Si Tong is extremely noble and worthy of his status. But he lacks inner portrayal, just like wax exhibition, and arrogance only stays on his face and lines. Compared with the characterization in the first two versions, he lacks the emotional expression in Silent Telling, rather than Telling with Sound. In the plot arrangement, I deleted the scene of "meeting unexpectedly" which I think is more important, and added the scene of Elizabeth shooting an arrow in Netherfield Garden and avoiding Mr. Collins with Darcy's help, which seemed to be somewhat out of thin air. In the film, the comedy effect is particularly prominent, such as the antics of the two sisters on Mr. Collins, the messy room when Catherine visited during her period, and even the intimate friends of Mary and Katie at last. The feature of this version of the script is that Catherine Menstruation is written as a character who finally supports Darcy and helps him, trying to test Elizabeth's transformation to Darcy after several twists and turns, and using "provocation" to make her express her feelings that she can't promise not to marry Darcy. At the end of the novel, Darcy can summon up the courage to propose to Elizabeth again, which is the confidence laid by Catherine after being criticized, but Catherine inadvertently helped the lovers, which she did not expect. The adaptation of the film is undoubtedly to make everyone happy, which is a breakthrough.

Iii. 1949 Starring: Madge Evans and John Baragrey.

This is a three-act stage TV play, and the whole play is also an hour. The story unfolds with Jane Austen's narrative. When the TV started, Jane sat behind the desk and wrote thoughtfully. The voice-over asked her what story she was thinking. Jane's preface is the first sentence of the novel-"It has become a universally acknowledged truth that all rich bachelors always want to marry a wife." Then introduce the characters, bring the audience to the dance, and the characters appear in turn. The main content and dialogue are similar to the novel, but the difference is that Darcy proposed for the first time in Pemberley, and Elizabeth came here unexpectedly while traveling with menstruation. At the end of the story, after Darcy successfully proposed for the second time, he said to Liz, "I just love your prejudice", and Liz responded, "I just love your pride".

Due to the limited time, a large number of characters were deleted from the version, and only three of the five daughters in the class were kept, without Mary and Kitty. Besides, there is no Lady Catherine, no Miss Darcy, not even Mr. Collins who just mentioned that "Liz refused his proposal".

Fourthly, the 1952 version stars Daphne Slater and peter Cushing.

This is the second film produced by the BBC, which lasts for three hours and consists of six episodes. See the title picture for stills. There is no information about this version at present. But the hero once starred in Sherlock Holmes, and then appeared in a large number of horror movies, known as the king of horror movies. So this version of Darcy is probably a "horror" version. :)

5. Version 1958 stars Jane Downes and Alan Badel.

It left little information, and some critics criticized this version as too farce.

6. Version 1967 Starring: Celia Bannerman and Lewis Fiand.

The fourth adaptation of BBC is to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Austin's death/kloc-0. It is the first color version of Pride and the first TV version with exterior shots. The whole drama is also 6 episodes ***3 hours, with some characters changed, only four sisters and no Mary. Charlotte's younger brother was added, which made him always bicker with Mrs. Bennet. It aggravated the scene of Mrs. Lucas, and competed with Mrs. Ban all day to see who married her daughter a day earlier. Darcy's proposal was arranged after Rosings' ball. At the end of the film, Mr and Mrs Darcy got married and went to Pemberley. When he arrived, Darcy said, "home, Mrs. Darcy!" " "I think this Liz is a bit like the original.

VII. Version 1980 Starring: Elizabeth Galway and David Lintu.

It has been recognized as the most faithful version of the original. Before the publication of 1995, it was always considered as the most classic "pride" drama.

Liz in elizabeth garvie is petite, easy-going and approachable, and her manners are always so solemn and elegant. She must take an umbrella when she goes out. Always smiling, talking wittily, and sometimes mocking myself. Every day, I either play cards and chess with my family or sew together. If I am alone, I can write and read. I like her two songs in Lucas' Home and Rosings Garden. They are not famous songs, but they are so elegant and beautiful. If you have to find fault in an egg, it's because when I was a child, I always thought she was not as beautiful as Liz in the original illustration, and I have to admit that her eyes were not as beautiful as Jennifer later.

David Rintoul's back is always straight and full of gentleman's breath. At first glance, Darcy seems a little dull. He looks at Liz exactly as the book says. "He seems to be in a daze and absent-minded. Even Fitzwilliam laughs at why he is always stupid." However, when he had the last laugh, he was so handsome that he completely charmed me. These days, I have revisited it again. Ten years later, I still feel the same. He was always regarded as "Mr. Darcy" forever until Colin appeared after 15.

8. 1995 Starring: jennifer ehle and Colin Firth.

This is by BBC and A &;; E, so North Americans used to call it A &;; E version, just like many people in our country like to call it BBC version. This is also the longest version so far, with a total duration of 300 minutes, which is 1 hour more than the 80 version.

Once considered as an insurmountable peak, the 80' s edition finally met its most powerful rival after five years in charge of/kloc-0. It was from this new edition that Austin fans suddenly realized with surprise that the original story could be adapted so imaginatively from such a perspective, because it brought you another strange and wonderful feeling-even though it was a painful struggle, including myself.

Jennifer ehle, a Liz with the most beautiful eyes and the sweetest smile. When I first read this version, the only thing that gave me the best first impression was this Liz. She smiled sweetly at her father and playful bright eyes outside the window. I was so happy: this is my Liz, cuter than the 80 th edition. However, slowly, that feeling has changed.

I found that this is a Liz with a slightly different "lady" flavor. Perhaps this is the original intention of screenwriter Andrew. He once said that he just wanted to give the audience a lively Liz who was a bit "tomboyish and gypsy", so as to strongly attract Mr. Darcy, a "heartthrob".

In terms of verbal humor, I always feel that this Liz is almost, and there are many ingredients that are ridiculous or even mean. This is because several distinctive quips have been deleted, such as "singing with breath" (this is because the part behind Liz's singing has been deleted), "the picture of three people walking together is beautiful" and so on. Although there was no latter sentence in the 1980s edition, many interesting dialogues were designed for Liz and Charlotte, which highlighted the cleverness and naughty of the characters. I forget whether this version has been kept. Besides, after the engagement, Liz's jokes about Darcy were also omitted. I think this is one of the most interesting parts of this book! Because this is one of the major changes in Darcy's temperament caused by "love", georgiana was so surprised. Correspondingly, the 80th edition is a copy of the original, and the 05th edition was changed to "Mrs Darcy", which is also very interesting. However, there is a quip in the 95 th edition that I appreciate, that is, Liz asked Colonel Foster if he would stay for a long time or a short time. This is not in the book, and it is a genius, because it subtly and indirectly explained the background of the story.

Moreover, this Liz's mood is superficial, and her smile is beautiful and charming (I like all the photos of her smile), but she can't stand up and looks impatient, which is particularly prominent in the second half. She is calm and sometimes even bored with her mother and three sisters, which is even more unacceptable. I think the director probably wants to give us a Liz who dares to love and hate! Therefore, after this version, Elizabeth was suddenly regarded as a member of "feminism". Some people say that at the beginning of the story, Liz skipped down the hillside after the horse overlooking Darcy and Bingley left, implying the desire to "run to freedom". Some people think that the 80' s version is too ladylike, too impersonal and without feminine charm. hum ...

Colin Firth, an "extra Dacy!" -this is the imprisonment that the film critics sold before the play was broadcast in Britain. What an unprecedented Darcy!

From image to manners, British critics say that the choreographer is probably based on the protagonists created by half Austin, half D.H. Lawrence and half ken russell. I think it's a little similar, too.

Take Lawrence's works directed by ken russell in the early 1970s as an example. On the whole, Colin, like the two leading men in it, has messy hair (many British and American fans say that they want to go up and flatten Colin's hair and trim his sideburns when watching movies), which is a bit rough. For example, our Mr. Darcy opened Mrs. Young's door with a cane; Moreover, people swim naked, and our Darcy swims in clothes (it is said that when he was playing this paragraph, he saw Darcy jump into a dirty lake in his clothes, and I don't know how many people exclaimed, "Don't jump!" " Is Darcy, who thinks he is lovelorn, too desperate to let go? ); They wrestled naked, and the man tried to fencing with his shirt open. Afterwards, he murmured, "I will beat it, I will!"! The charming Mr Darcy.

Colin's version of Darcy's most popular sentence is "no, no, the green one", and then he rides his horse smartly to confess to his sweetheart for the second time. How do you know that his sweetheart is flustered and helpless because of the news that his little sister eloped? What a pity!

Andrew said that if he had to find fault with Darcy himself, Colin's walking stick was too ugly. Remember the last picture of the second proposal? Darcy's fighting posture is like leaning on a crutch! ~

Darcy's other extra number is the extended version, which adds a lot of content from his point of view, which is also the biggest novelty of this version. As I said before, Liz's plays were cut a lot because they were all given to Darcy. This version of Darcy is the one with the most plays, and those added contents are not described in the original or only a few words, and it is that part that moves us most. Therefore, in all fairness, the position of the 80' s version of Darcy in my mind is always higher than the 95' s version.

Tell an episode (someone may have heard the story). Andrew said Colin didn't want to take the play at first. Andrew asked him why. Colin said that he had read the book and found the story meaningless. He is not dramatic, especially after Darcy's proposal was rejected. How else can he shoot? Andrew realized that Colin had only got half of the script. So he asked Colin to look at the original book before making a decision. A few days later, Colin called, and as soon as he came up, he said, "I'll do it!" " . A new Darcy was born!

Another thing that bothers me is that Colin failed to win the Best Actor Award from BAFTA, and was defeated by a veteran actor (the one who later played the giant Hagrid in the Harry Potter series). The reason should be that the actors who were also chosen to play Bennett scattered some votes. Therefore, when I see Mr. Bennet now, I feel "enemy". Why should I argue with Colin? He's not the hero!

Conlin Firth and Jennifer Ellie play Mr Darcy and elizabeth bennet respectively. To tell the truth, Jennifer was very uncomfortable at first. She is neither beautiful nor fat, so it is difficult to associate her with a girl in her early twenties. However, her acting gradually made me accept her, and her choice of wisdom and love concept was naturally attributed to elizabeth bennet's extensive reading. Her elegance will not make people feel that she is so aloof and out of reach, but rather that she is quite approachable. When Elizabeth was still biased, she not only admired Mr. Wickham a little, but also sympathized with him, showing her good side. Colin Firth, with his low noise, calm face and charming gentlemanly demeanor, is undoubtedly Darcy's signature appearance. In the third edition of Pride and Prejudice, Darcy has few lines, which requires the actor to express his character beyond the lines with his own understanding of the role. At the first dance, Darcy Blau, played by Colin, was very angry with the country people. When Nedved Darcy looked at Elizabeth through the window, there was a feeling that he could only understand but could not express. Besides, the overall atmosphere of this edition, like a fairy tale, is more preaching. At the end, although the priest's words are a speech at the wedding, the switching of pictures proves three different marriages in the story. One is that the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Collins is based on money, and their marriage life is undoubtedly boring. The second is that their marriage, like Lydia and Wickham, is mixed with desire and deception. Lydia has no reason in her mind, let alone thinking, and she is reckless and crazy. The third is that Darcy, like Elizabeth, Bentley and Jane, married for true love. In front of the sacred temple, different kinds of marriages are sworn here, but it is not clear whether they really understand the true meaning of love, whether they have no regrets before God, and finally achieve the goal of growing old together.

9.2005 Starring: keira knightley and matthew macfadyen.

The film version that appeared after a lapse of 65 years, a new version that no longer simply pays attention to the plot, pays more attention to the artistic atmosphere and adds a strong flavor of the year. It seems that since the 95th edition is about Darcy, the 05th edition is about Leeds. Since a "charming" Mr Darcy is allowed, a "wild" Leeds is also acceptable.

This version of Liz is considered to be the most beautiful of all versions at present. You can feel the breath of youth without running and jumping. She has a lot of images of the' 95 s, a little more "Tom boyish" and a little less ladylike-Liz, who plays the piano the worst.

For example, both versions retain the phrase "Don't get married until you find true love". Jennifer is standing on the rock. She is standing on the edge of the cliff. Interestingly, at some point, two people are just opposite in anger. Jennifer's expression is on her face, but her behavior is not out of place. Although Keira's expression is soft, her words are straightforward. The most obvious contrast is the mother's forced marriage. Jennifer's version answers her father softly, but she looks unyielding and stubborn. What is she thinking? Keira blurted out, "You can't let me!" Although the speaker was in tears.

This version of Liz smiles a lot. If the 1980s edition is smiling, the 1990s edition is grinning, and the 1950s edition is childish, then it is somewhat close to the original feeling of "she only smiles, and I laugh". I don't think Keira's smile belongs to "giggle". For example, when Darcy appeared for the first time, Liz's eyes collided with Darcy's eyes and immediately lowered her head to think about something, and then she smiled-I agree with some fans-she must think it is ridiculous that so many people all stopped dancing just to hold such a strange welcoming ceremony for these three people. For another example, the smile at the door of Pemberley is probably: God, I almost became the hostess of such an elegant manor. This will be my home, but I gave up. It was foolish of me to open it. ...

Matthew macfadyen, the Darcy who has the least drama and appearance time among the four versions, has also fascinated a large number of female fans. It can be seen that this Mr. Darcy is the real charm master! He must show the inner emotional world of the characters through his eyes and detailed actions in a limited time. As I said, the ingenious use of details is the most striking feature of this edition. Many of Darcy's little moves are designed by Matthew himself, such as proposing marriage in the rain. When Liz mentioned Wickham's name, Darcy immediately took a step forward-how jealous! And the ending, director joe wright said, according to the script, the last kiss will stop when it comes. But the two protagonists seem to agree that there was such a delicate, lengthy and romantic kiss, hehe. "You bewitched me, body and soul" undoubtedly became the symbol of Darcy in Matthew's works, just like the sentence "I will!" Similarly, it is destined to be passed down by fans. In contrast, the 80 th edition of the original did not leave its own things, which shows that being too loyal to the original will have shortcomings.

In addition to the above nine editions, there are also modern editions of 200 1 and Bollywood editions. I don't think it is necessary to put them together. But the Bollywood version of "No wife, no life" is really funny.
