Treasury Tuesday: Pride and Prejudice

I have been in a Pride and Prejudice mood lately. I don't know. I just have. It's one of my most favorite stories EVER. Obviously, I'm not alone in this, it's kind of a cult really. And, I understand, some women refuse to date some men unless they remind them of Mr. Darcy. A little too over the top for me, but, hey, to each their own!



I'm on my third time reading the book at present. Thank you iBooks on the iPad for having it for free! It's such a fun read. I have to say, my favorite movie version is definitely the most recent one. I know, a lot of people love the Colin Firth version and I love Colin Firth myself. I even love the fact that he played the original Mr. Darcy and the new version of Mr. Darcy in Bridget Jones' Diary, but, there's just something about the Keira Knightly version that I can't stop thinking about, pretty much ever. It's so gorgeous. They condensed the story perfectly, beautiful cinematography, beautiful music, beautiful people, beautiful acting, great chemistry. Just, all around gorgeous. And this is, most definitely, my favorite scene:


Ugh, I get chills every time I see that scene. The perfectly timed thunder after Mr. Darcy snaps at Lizzie and how jealous he gets when she starts talking about Mr. Wickham. Then they think about kissing and he storms off. LOVE IT!!!!!!

And, really, who doesn't love saying, "Mr. Darcy" with a British accent? Go on, say it out loud. You know you want to!
