Running Time(Screen Duration): 1 hour and 69 minutes
Genre: Romance/Drama
The story is set in England during the 19th century. During these time people are very much particular with good manners and right conduct as it defines the kind of family a person has. It is also the time where women are still inferior and men are superior. Women don't have the freedom to choose for what they really want compared to our generation where women are strong and could do the things the men does.
It is also a time where social classes are very much evident and the value of marriage is such an essential subject.
In the movie, marriage is viewed as an important thing to each of them especially the women. In the case of the Bennet sister's, all of them are girls causing their parents to worry for their future. That is why their parent's especially their mother is doing everything she can to make her daughters presentable to men, especially to those wealthy ones, hoping that someone would ask any of her daughters for marriage.
The Bennet sister's is composed of 5 lovely girls that differ in terms of attitude and behavior.
JANE BENNET (22 years old)
Jane Bennet is the eldest of them all and considered as the prettiest. She is a sweet, shy, and fine lady. She is the favorite of their mother because of her beauty. She is close to Elizabeth.
She fell in love with Mr. Charles Bingley, friend of Mr. Darcy.
ELIZABETH BENNET (20 years old)
She is the second Bennet daughter which contrasts the behavior and attitude of her older sister Jane. Unlike the sweet and shy Jane, Elizabeth is playful, stubborn,intelligent, and has a strong personality. However, because of her intelligence she has the tendency to judge others even without knowing the person. Most part of the story revolves around Elizabeth.
In the latter part of the story, Jane fell in love with Mr. Darcy whom she once despise for his pride and arrogance.
Mary Bennet (18 or 19 years old)
She is the third of the Bennet sister which is considered as plain or not that pretty.
Catherine"Kitty" Bennet (17 years old)
She is the fourth daughter who is close to Lydia, the youngest. They are always seen together in the movie. Despite being older than Lydia, she always follows what Lydia does.
Lydia Bennet (15 years old)
The youngest of the Bennet sisters. She is not serious and doesn't have a clear purpose in life. She is also flirty as seen on the movie, as she always love to socialize with the officers of the militia. At such age she doesn't care about the moral code in her society and live the way she wants without thinking of the troubles that it may bring to her family.
In the later part of the movie, she eloped with George Wickham and married at an early age, earlier than all of her sisters.
The story made use of representation. From its title "Pride and Prejudice", Mr. Darcy represents the "pride" of every men and Elizabeth represents the "prejudices" that every women does. It is shown in the movie that the two characteristics possessed by the men and women leads to a misunderstanding between the two gender. It could only be solved by eradicating such characteristics that men and women possess same as what happened to Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy. Mr. Darcy swallowed his pride and Elizabeth overcome her prejudices.
