After all, it’s 6 hours, not 2, so much more time to deal with things. What I love about MacFayden’s treatment of Darcy is that you can really see the humility in him at the end. To me, that’s missing in Firth’s portrayal. Another thing I like about the shorter version is Mrs. Bennett, the mom. I can see she really does care for her girls. The A&E Mrs. Bennett seems more selfish. But I so totally love that I finally get this story!

That said I prefer to watch the newer version. I love the way MacFayden’s Darcy struggles with his prejudice! It’s such a flaw but because he struggles, we can forgive him (and so can Miss Prideful Lizze 🙂
