Lost in Austen!

I was watching this movie "Lost in Austen" the other day. Needless to say I like the story "Pride and Prejudice". The Lizzie character is so.... very....ante no words anymore. Must have been difficult in those times to be as smart and not taken for granted. Come to think of it, it has not changed much from back then to now! I can see the same saga almost every other month at some point or the other where strong women are loathed or hated. Why!??

Anyways, I liked this version of the movie too. I would say if you are bored, and want a mild twist to all things in the tale and despite this end up liking the movie, then one must certainly watch it. Throughout the movie I was looking at the main character's hair! Yes, while so much was happening in the movie I was consistently, through every frame, looking at her hair! How come no one seems to be bothered by it ani :-/

Anyways, I always knew why someone like Darcy could fall for Elizabeth. I mean, clearly, what about her isn't worth falling for? She is smart, has integrity, carries herself with such aplomb, etc. But what does SHE fall for in a man like Darcy is something I never really understood. I thought the same while watching this new version of the movie. I had to question my memory while I had this conflict of thought. What did I miss about his character sketch karke. I had to therefore question my old age issues that seem to be growing at hand as well! Beware, senility ahead. That is probably the sign I must carry is what I fear now a days about.

Anyhow, I think I have come across a person like Darcy. No, I have not fallen for him! The reason I even thought of why Elizabeth falls for him is because I was thinking about how rude this Darcy-look-alike guy is. I watched the movie two days ago, and today abruptly I was thinking why some people are rude. Therefore I had this drawing-parallels-between-the-two episode in my head. Wondering why or what could be attractive about such people in general. Is it because he is honest, despite his genuine supercilious behaviour and attitude? Someone might explain it to me sometime maybe. I'm really confused! Yes, I have lots of time on hands too!

But there was one other thing that the actress says which made me think. The courtship was at such a slower pace back then. I mean it is still the same here in the country. But really? What is it about this sort of a ball game? I was just wondering where would I place myself between slow paced and fast paced? I guess I know the answer but I don't want to admit it to myself. Samai ke saath chalo, ab ki baar modhi sarkar! very sad PJ, but somehow couldn't help it!

I will bid Adieu with a musical note this time. Some dear friends have left indelible notes in my head, this is payback time for the music they have implanted in my life :-D

Thanks to them nevertheless. Here is goes - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JxyVHg5eEQ
