HE’S SO REAL (yes I Paid Him To Say A Meme Joke)

An easy and completely accurate guide to the characters of Pride and Prejudice

Darcy, whispering: I really want to kiss you.

Lizzie: Pardon, sir?

Darcy, panicking: I said if you die I won’t miss you.

“Costumes are also used to show Mr. Darcy’s evolution as he comes to love Elizabeth Bennet and let go of his snobbery. His costume had a series of stages. The first time we see him he’s at Meryton, where he has a very stiffly tailored jacket on, and he’s quite contained and rigid. He stays in that rigid form for the first part of the film. By the time we get to the proposal that goes wrong in the rain, we move to a similar cut, but a much softer fabric. And then later he’s got a completely different cut of coat, not interlined, and he wears it undone. The nth degree is him walking through the mist in the morning, completely undressed by 18th-century standards.

If you see closely Darcy costumes in the course of the film change quite radically. In the early scenes he´s wearing a very buttoned up, very rigid, very stiff style of costume. In the middle stage, he´s wearing the same style but in a softer fabric and a softer cut and, by the end of the film, he´s wearing a much looser cut, an open jacket, a more country style, less uptight, less rigid. His costumes reflect the other changes in his character.” - (Jacqueline Durran, P&P Costume designer; via P&P Companion Book)

me: it’s not realistic to expect the type of love depicted in movies and stories, they function on an idealized notion of love that has a quick deus ex machina for situations that would require entire lifetimes to solve in real life

me, when Mr Darcy has to flex his hand after briefly holding Elizabeth’s hand in Pride and Prejudice (2005):

"I want a boyfriend."

No you want a dark haired arrogant gruff man's heart slowly softening after he declared you tolerabe but not handsome enough to tempt him.

Leo, about Donnie: Oh, yeah he’s my brother. My twin brother, from the same sewer. Thank you so much for hiring Donatello. It means so much to me. Even though, honestly, he’s 🎶The wo-o-orst.🎶 He is the worst person in the world. Huge skank. Terrible. But thank you. It means a lot. 

I love just how blatant and embarrassingly obvious Darcy’s affection for Elizabeth is on your second watch through of p&p 2005. I love him describing an accomplished woman as someone who “must improve her mind by extensive reading” and immediately eyeing Elizabeth with her book. I love him asking Elizabeth to dance at the Netherfield ball when, at the previous ball, Elizabeth had told him that dancing was the best way to encourage affection. I love piecing together the shots and realizing that Darcy is almost always looking in her direction. I love realizing the reason Darcy is walking through the crowd at the Netherfield Ball is because he’s searching for Elizabeth. I love him coming over to hear Elizabeth play piano and I love him telling her that he has trouble conversing easily with people he’s just met and knowing he’s attempting to be open and vulnerable with her.

His first proposal is so jarring and unexpected for Elizabeth but damn girl this idiot has been openly pining after you this whole time

"you held her hand ungloved? what, you gave her a lap dance too?"

I'M SO PROUD OF THIS ONE it's my first time trying out semi-realistic art and I just had to do an iconic scene that lives in my head rent free.
