bodhigirlsmiles Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 as you may have realized by now, i am somewhat of a HUGE fan of jane austen and her works.... i am not at all certain if any of you have seen the a&e version of pride and prejudice, but if you have, and if recall, what sort of accent does the actress playing charlotte lucas have?? it seems so very....well, almost reserved....and so very proper. can any of you shed some light on the accent for any of the actors and actresses in that version?? especially charlotte lucas?

kona0197 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Anything is better than those novels written by Stephenie Meyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodhigirlsmiles Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Anything is better than those novels written by Stephenie Meyer.cheesy and follow-the-herd as it may be, i liked them! i suppose it is the girly, romantic side of me (a big side, i'm afraid....probably 9 tenths) to which they appeal. i didn't, however, enjoy the movie all that much.

kona0197 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I will not read them. Nothing "Christian" about vampires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fugazi Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I have not read the Twilight series. My wife loves the books though. Anne Rice wrote the greatest vampire series ever. It is sad to think there will not be any closure to that series. Due to my conversion I would not be able to read it anyways. I forgive her though, because in the year of my conversion Anne Rice started writing books about Christ's life. She had a rebirth in her Catholic faith.

bodhigirlsmiles Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Do you not recommend them?absolutely without reservation i recommend them! i was so very shocked to read that you have not yet enjoyed any of them. i would love to guide you on your path to realizing the utter beauty and humor in her works. she is, to me, someone without whom i cannot live. her books have uplifted and sustained me from as early as i can remember.

bodhigirlsmiles Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Ohhh I misunderstood. What book do you recommend I start with?pride and prejudice has got to be the single most romantic (as well as humorous) book ever to be committed to print.

pam Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I will start with that one. My daughter also has the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodhigirlsmiles Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I will start with that one. My daughter also has the movie.if it is the newest movie with keira knightley, i beg of you to avoid it. it lacks so much of the warmth, humor, true characterization, and beauty of the a&e version with colin firth and jennifer ehle.

pam Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I think it is that one. I would have to check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgama Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 is it the one with Colin Firth? -Charley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanguine Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I'd have to see the vid again, to check the accent. These books are classics and must read. My youngest daughter didn't 'get them' the first time she read them, some of the wit and humour went straight over her head, but she recently read them again and loves them with a passion. The last dvd version of Sense and Sensibility, had me chortling at the lady with the strong Devonshire accent. One of my favourites is Persuasion.
