God, I soooo love the book when I read it. Before it became a movie, I thought that Keira Knightley would be perfect for the leading lady. When the movie came out, I was all, "HOLY COW!!" when I heard that she had The Role.
I was flipping out when I watched it on HBO. I was all gushy, and mushy...of course, their were parts that weren't in the book that they were bloody worth watching!!! especially the ending:
Mr. Darcy: How are you this evening, my dear?
Elizabeth Bennet: Very well... although I wish you would not call me "my dear."
Mr. Darcy: [chuckles] Why?
Elizabeth Bennet: Because it's what my father always calls my mother when he's cross about something.
Mr. Darcy: What endearments am I allowed?
Elizabeth Bennet: Well let me think...”Lizzie" for every day, "My Pearl" for Sundays, and...”Goddess Divine"... but only on *very* special occasions.
Mr. Darcy: And... what should I call you when I am cross? Mrs. Darcy...?
Elizabeth Bennet: No! No. You may only call me "Mrs. Darcy"... when you are completely, and perfectly, and incandescently happy.
Mr. Darcy: [he snickers] Then how are you this evening... Mrs. Darcy?
[kisses her on the forehead]
Mr. Darcy: Mrs. Darcy...
[kisses her on the right cheek]
Mr. Darcy: Mrs. Darcy...
[kisses her on the nose]
Mr. Darcy: Mrs. Darcy...
[kisses her on the left cheek]
Mr. Darcy: Mrs. Darcy...
[finally kisses her on the mouth]
How could I NOT fall for Mr. Darcy???
I shall be called "Your Highness" everyday, "My One and Only" for Sundays and on very special occassions, "Mrs (guy's last name)"
Oh gosh, I'm all gushy mushy again. haha.
