  1. I love this movie!!!!!! I do not get tired of watching it!
    In general I admire movies that have come from popular books. Making movie with adapted story from book is not easy at all because writer of the book has unlimited page and words to describe her subjects; however, in the movie, directors have limited time and power to illustrate the story. As a result, most of the people who read the book and watch the movie of it, like the book better than the movie. For example, Harry potter’s movie series. Lots of Harry potter’s fans prefer not to watch the movies because movies change and story in some ways. However, the production and director of the Pride and prejudice did a very good job in adapting the original story from book, and made a very successful movie.
