When Good Adaptations Get it Wrong: Pride and Prejudice 2005 vs. 1995.

Sometimes good films deviate from their source material in annoying ways. The 2005 adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice by Joe Wright does a lot of stuff right — it's gorgeous, the cast is great, etc., but there are reasons why it suffers when compared to 1995's BBC adaptation by Andrew Davies. Hat tip to ‪@EllieDashwood‬, whose great comparison video inspired this one:    • Pride and Prejudice 1995 vs 2005 Comparison   This video is 100% human-made. No generative AI was used in its creation. I write all of the scripts myself, it's my real human voice, I edit the videos myself, and I read all of the comments and if I respond to a comment, it's really me responding. This is TT002, the 2nd video essay posted on the channel. How I Make Video Essays I write my scripts in Google Docs. I record myself reading the scripts using a Shure SM58 microphone going through a Behringer XENYX Q802USB audio mixer into Audacity on my PC. I edit the videos in Adobe Premiere Pro (with a final audio pass through Adobe Audition). I also make use of Photoshop and 4k Video Downloader in pretty much every video.
