Pride and Prejudice - Book vs Movie

We know the book is always better than the movie, but how faithful is the movie to the book? How faithful is the 2005 movie to the book "Pride and Prejudice?" This is a love story for the ages. Several movies and TV series have been made from the book. In this video, I compare the book to what I think is the best movie version. The book was written in 1813 by Jane Austen. She published the book anonymously, as so many women writers did at that time. It was a popular book when it was published. It sold out the first edition in the first year. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, the book never went out of print. The movie stars Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen. It was well received and was nominated for four Academy Awards. The movie didn't win though.
