Just For Fun: More of my Pride & Prejudice Manip Arts (Part 2)

Posted by Le on Monday, October 3, 2011

 
A little slow on P&P Actors News today, so I thought I'd keep you all entertain with posting more of my amateurish attempt on P&P fan manip arts...since I'm still in the mood for it, lol. I must say, Lady Catherine's advice had been beneficial (probably the only advice I'll ever follow from her, haha!) and I'm improving with it as I go along...still learning and practicing though. I've had a lot of fun doing these newer ones.

Check them out and let me know what you think. Feedback is very much appreciated, of course. So, feel free to leave your comment. Take a look at them below and enjoy!

Just For Fun: My Pride & Prejudice Manip Arts

Posted by Le on Monday, September 26, 2011

I've been in a P&P fanart mood since I started playing around with photoshop/photobucket/picnik months ago. I'm not very good, but I tried, lol. I followed Lady Catherine's advice and practiced and well, it's been fun especially when I'm bored and I tend to get some ideas on which still images of Elizabeth & Darcy (Keira & Matthew) to use and manip. Some turned out ok and some turned out actually good that I ended up also doing a few Jane & Bingley (Rosamund Pike & Simon Woods) manips. I only intended to do Darcy & Lizzie manips, but I also love Jane & Bingley too...so I thought I might as well...What do you all think? Hope you like them...

Anyway, here are some of the random P&P manip arts I've made recently...


Elizabeth & Darcy

Jane & Bingley

My Top 12 Favorite Elizabeth Bennet Moments

Posted by Le on Saturday, March 19, 2011


My Top 12 Favorite Lizzie Moments
(Well...at the moment...until my next viewing...the order could change and I might changed it up or add a different scene, who knows? lol...)

What are yours? Feel free to list your own Top 12 in the comments section...

Ok, so I had to make my Top 12 for Lizzie Bennet instead of 10, as she's our favorite heroine and the lead character of this whole P&P story/movie (and it's told/seen through her eyes, for without her, we wouldn't have come to know and love our favorite Mr. Darcy as she did, wouldn't we?)... It was hard enough to come up with My Top 10 Favorite Darcy Moments (as there were too many and my list was just some selected random scenes that when I think of Darcy in this film, those particular scenes/moments come to mind quickly as I've seen the movie so many times and knows every scene by heart, as many of you here probably knows too, lol). It was even hard and interesting enough coming up with my top 12 without excluding the other scenes I want to add include in this list (too many of them to count or list...that would be the whole movie as Lizzie appeared pretty much in every scene...well, except for a few... I also loved and enjoyed watching, but she appears pretty much from the very first scene to the last scene, so even 12 Lizzie moments, are not long enough (or probably too long...see my list below) to list here, but I have to narrow them down to 12...


My Top 12 Favorite Lizzie Moments
1. Lizzie getting a fresh air at the Peak District with the soothing and beautiful to listen to Liz on Top of the World music playing in the background. I must say this was a beautiful Lizzie moment! Love watching her in this scene too! (The Peak District/Derbyshire scene)
2. When Mr. Darcy surprised her with helping her to the carriage and holding her hand...the stunned (and lingering) look in her eyes at Darcy said it all! (Leaving the Netherfield Hall scene)
3. Lizzie's private talk with her father, Mr. Bennet in his library after the second proposal scene especially when she said to her father (and surprised him at the same time) about Mr. Darcy, "I do like him. I love him."  (Lizzie and Mr. Bennet's "father-daughter heart-to-heart talk" scene)
4. Lizzie slowly closing the door, smiling and couldn't take her eyes of off Darcy...who would when you have the handsome Mr. Darcy in front of you with that lil' smile of his, right? (After The Second Proposal scene)
5. Lizzie admiring and staring at Mr. Darcy's bust in his Pemberley estate (The Sculpture Gallery scene inside his Pemberley estate)
6. Lizzie listening and focuses her full attention to Mr. Darcy as he proposes and declares his love to her for the second time (The Second Proposal scene)
7. When Lizzie wasn't impressed with Darcy's first proposal to her after finding out that he separated her beloved sister Jane and Mr. Bingley. Love her last line, "And those are the words of a gentleman. From the first moment I met you. Your arrogance and conceit, your selfish disdain for the feelings of others made me realize, you were the last man in the world I could ever be prevailed upon to marry." (The First Proposal scene)
8. When Lizzie giggled (she gets me every time too when I re-watch this scene, lol) at the first glance and eye contact she and Mr. Darcy encountered (at The Meryton Ball scene)
9. When Lizzie said, "Oh, dear I cannot tease you about that. What a shame for I dearly love to laugh" to Mr. Darcy and all their heated banter (in The turn-about-the-room in Netherfield scene)
10. When she held her own against Lady Catherine (and made her speechless and stunned for a moment...love this scene and this part!) and told her off by saying, "I will not, and I certainly never shall. You have insulted me in every possible way and can now have nothing further to say. I must ask you to leave immediately!" (Lizzie's confronation with Lady Catherine scene)
11. When Lizzie was hiding quickly by the side window upon her surprise of hearing Mr. Darcy's name and seeing him (with Mr. Bingley) outside the window approaching the door to her family's house. (Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy's unexpected visit to the Bennets home in Longbourne scene)
12. When Lizzie said, "Perhaps Mr. Collins has a cousin" after her beloved elder sister Jane had just been engaged to Mr. Bingley and was saying to her, "Oh, Lizzie, if I could but see you so happy. If there were such another man for you." (Lizzie and Jane post Jane/Bingley proposal scene)

My top 10 Favorite Darcy Moments 
(well...at least for the moment, until my next viewing...)

What are yours?  I could say all, but then I won't have anything specific to talk about here, lol. I know, I know... it was very hard for me to even pick just one let alone 10 favorite Darcy moments (and make a collage of those scenes/moments at the same time too) 'cause I love pretty much every scene and every moment he appeared on screen (doesn't everybody? lol), but I must say I love, love, love these 10 Darcy moments (yes, even his flexing hand had a moment, lol) in the 2005 Pride & Prejudice film.


My Top 10 Favorite Darcy Moments

1. Darcy striding towards Lizzie in the misty morning! (Just before The Second Proposal scene)
2. Most definitely when he said to Lizzie, "You have bewitched ME body and soul...and I love, I love, I love you. And never wish to be parted from you from this day on." (The Second Proposal scene)
3. His unexpected "I love you. Most Ardently." line to Lizzie (The First Proposal/Rain scene)
4. Darcy's rare, unexpected, and genuine smile when he introduced his sister Georgiana to Lizzie (Pemberley interior scene)
5. When he held Lizzie's hand to help her get inside the carriage (Leaving Netherfield Hall scene)
6. His flexing hand after his first touch moment with Lizzie (Leaving Netherfield Hall scene)
7. When he surprises her and asked, "May I have the next dance, Miss Elizabeth?" just before their first and only dance scene in the film (The Netherfield Ball scene)
8. His awkward/fiddling his gloves moment with Lizzie at Hunsford pre-lude to his first proposal scene in the rain (The unexpected visit of Darcy at Hunsford/Collins home scene)
9. Another unexpected, little smile from Mr. Darcy (After the Second Proposal scene)
10. When Darcy elbowed the rude Mr. Collins, lol... (at The Netherfield Ball scene)

A Pride and Prejudice ~ The King's Speech Reunion
The King's Speech. They were last seen together 15 years ago in the much loved Pride and Prejudice (1995 BBC/A&E TV Miniseries), which they famously played Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet. Jennifer Ehle won for Best Actress on the BAFTA TV Awards back in 1996.

Speaking of TKS: Read my Film Review: The King's Speech
 
An interesting CF/JE trivia (via UK's Daily Mail)...
He landed the role of Mr Darcy in the BBC adaptation of Austen’s Pride And Prejudice, and with it came a year-long romance with his co-star Jennifer Ehle (who played Elizabeth Bennett).

But by the time the drama was televised in 1995, he and Jennifer had split up.
Here are the following production stills, promotional photos, and very recent public appearances photos (promoting TKS with director TH) of CF and JE in...
