Pride & Prejudice (2005)
Pride & Prejudice (2005) is a celebrated film adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic 1813 novel of the same name. Directed by Joe Wright, this version is a visually stunning and emotionally resonant take on the timeless tale of love, class, and social expectations in Regency-era England. It stars Keira Knightley as the spirited Elizabeth Bennet and Matthew Macfadyen as the brooding and enigmatic Mr. Darcy.
Set in early 19th-century England, Pride & Prejudice follows Elizabeth Bennet (Keira Knightley), one of five sisters, as she navigates the pressures of society, family, and romantic entanglements. The Bennet family, led by the eccentric Mrs. Bennet (Brenda Blethyn) and the more reserved Mr. Bennet (Donald Sutherland), is under pressure to marry off their daughters to secure their future due to their lack of wealth and the inheritance laws of the time.
When the wealthy and aloof Mr. Darcy (Matthew Macfadyen) arrives in their town, Elizabeth initially finds him arrogant and prideful. However, as the story unfolds, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy undergo a journey of self-discovery, gradually realizing their misconceptions about each other. Their evolving relationship is at the heart of the film, exploring themes of love, class, and societal expectations.
