“You have bewitched me, body and soul,” Mr. Darcy (Matthew Macfayden) so passionately exclaims in the 2005 version of the popular Jane Austen novel Pride & Prejudice.
Gathering more fans as the years have gone on, the popular adaptation is bigger than ever before. This is a serious feat, considering it topped the film charts in the year of its release. Blending a style of classic romanticism and new-age filming techniques, director Joe Wright made some unique decisions that propelled the movie to be better than its predecessors.
