I'd love to hear your thoughts and look forward to further confabulation. Please just be courteous to one and all. Oh, and I love thoughts on old posts, so comment away!
(Also of late -- what with time being finite, and Life Happening + managing multiple blogs and computer issues and all that -- I sometimes have to alternate between creating new content and replying to comments, but rest assured I'm thrilled to hear from each and every one of you and always hope to reply thoughtfully in full ASAP. <3)

Before I follow the link and read the post... is it favorable or unfavorable to the '05?
ReplyDeleteWell, it is a critique, but I tried to keep it as level and objective as possible. And I don't like to view the film as an arena for bitter contention as I have friends who really like it. :-) So (if you love it) I would be thrilled to consider you one of them! ;-)
DeleteGot it! I'll read it, then. I do love it, and I'm so tired of reading cattily mean posts that bash it that I've gotten to the point where I'm very hesitant to read anything about it written by someone I like, lest it make me stop liking them.
DeleteYes, I was afraid of that... Did I pass?
DeleteYou did :-) Especially since you made no mention of the infamous pig.
DeleteOh, good! Whew!! :-)
DeleteHey Hedi, Thanks for the mention! I have put a link back here and thanks ever so much for doing the post :)
ReplyDeleteYou're most welcome...my pleasure! :-) And thank you!
Delete:D
DeleteI've read it, and I think it's very, very good! You are such a good writer.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, thank you, Naomi! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :-)
DeleteI really enjoyed your post! It was chuck-full of information that I didn't even realize before! So, thank you! :-)
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Sarah! :-) I'm glad you enjoyed it!
DeleteI read the post, and it is really well written. I agree on all your points.
ReplyDeleteThough I still enjoy the to watch the movie I see it more as a romantic drama that just happens to have the same plot as P&P, than as an actual adaption of the novel.
Thank you for reading it! And I agree. As I've been thinking about it, I've been trying to figure out just what makes a spin-off of a certain story and what makes an adaptation. Interesting question...
DeleteThanks so much for commenting!
