The love between Marius and Jeannette is sweet. Perhaps a film that would relate more with viewers 40+, this film still has some connection with most of the other age groups. I had to study this in school and it's funny how it relates to such issues as: • Belonging versus alienation • Coping with change • Tolerance of difference This film really works on two levels: entertainment and education. The story initially focuses on Jeannette and her family, but soon everyone in her neighbourhood gets involved in the storyline. Each character experiences love, pain, acceptance and changes. This film predominantly relies on its actors. All the actors really get into their roles, and it does show that they are having plenty of fun. Simply put, this film is simple and lovely.

After reading the book twice I'll felt inclined to watch the acclaimed mini series. On receiving the VHS version I apprehensively inserted it into my video player. On seeing the opening I already knew that what was in store was a lavish and thoroughly polished produced of a 19th century romance. The first time I couldn't unglue my eyes from the screen I was riveted to my seat for the duration of the film. This was the first film that I saw Colin Firth and became addicted to his acting and wanted to find more films he had been in. Jennifer Ehle on the other hand was just pure Elizabeth Bennet I can't imagine anyone playing this free-spirited character. Simon Langton did a superb job on directing this film.

It's about love, courtship, marriage and morals. I recommend this to anyone that wants to view the way Jane Austens tales were meant to be portrayed.
