my good opinion

"My good opinion once lost, is lost forever."
-Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, Pride and Prejudice (2005), Jane Austen.

Ahh, I am currently in the Romantic Period of my life. And I have a single profession to make (after watching and adaptation of Pride and Prejudice year 2005).


I am in love. With the character of Miss Elizabeth Bennet. Oh! to be in the company of one so witty, and amusing without even realising she is doing so. A woman of strong will, opinion, and sophistication. Who wouldn't want to become Mr. Darcy?? Evidently, of course, there is the usual bantering and jousting of words, the hurting of one's feelings. But it is all only to end with love.

Then of course there is also the music to be in love with. Believe it or not, this show has an entire original soundtrack composed. Out of all the movies with original soundtrack which I have watched, Pride and Prejudice tops it all. Gladiator of course, comes in second.

And now it is time for my good opinion.

Critics have mentioned that Colin Firth who played as Fitzwilliam Darcy in the year 1995 adaptation of PnP is one of the best so far, which has lead him to playing roles like Jack/Ernest Worthing in The Importance of Being Ernest. But I beg to differ. I think Matthew Macfadyen thoroughly pulls of aristocracy and romanticisms perfectly.

Oh yeah, I am currently reading Wuthering Heights. Like I said, the Romantic Period. Only thing is, I cannot begin to understand why is it called a romantic novel, with the character of Heathcliff being absolutely vile and vindictive.
