Pride & Prejudice
This one of my very favorites too. I just love Jane Austen.
It's funny that most of the people prefer a thousand times the BBC series than this movie... I see that the series is more faithfull. But it seems so raw to me. Like a copy of the words, not the spirit of the book. And I can't swallow Colin Firth as Darcy, I'm sorry.
When I watch it it feels like the feelings she wanted to portray in the book come alive uniquely. And the actors play their parts with such grace and charm! The photography of the movie is quite exquisite too. There's always something new to be noticed at every scene, specially at the ball parts. I also love the soundtrack. One day, I'll learn to play the theme on the piano. One day.
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
This movie always makes me want to walk out the door and chase adventure. Who cares about real life and responsabilities? "Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free! You are a pirate!"
Okay. This was a funny movie to watch because my friend is just nuts about Johnny Depp and wants to marry him and all those stuff. So I was expecting constant regards about how wonderful he is, but she always finds a new and completely hilarious way to do it.
Who doesn't love pirates? First time I saw this movie I went running to the library to buy a book about them. I ended up with a very acurate description of the main pirates at their golden age by no one less than Daniel Defoe - that guy who wrote Robinson Crusoe, you know who he is. Fact is he wanted to provide good information so the english authorities could catch the pirates. He was very meticulous in his research, so it is very interesting.
But well, the movie. I can't see how someone could dislike it. It's epic awesome! The story is very nice, the acting was marvelous, the costumes make you sigh and all you have to say in the end is "Yo-ho yo-ho a pirate's life for me!", no matter how cliché that is.
We watched The Mummy too, but I've already talked about it. By the way, my hair went really well with the cut. I loved it!
