I had a hankering to rewatch the 2005 Pride and Prejudice, and I am noticing, for instance, at 17:23? Mr. Darcy is having breakfast with Miss Bingley, and the camera is behind them as a squire-dude in a wig comes in and announces that they have a guest. Now, Miss Bingley is reading society gossip out loud, and Mr. Darcy is hunched over his newspaper ignoring her. The squire-person walks in, announces there is a guest, Mr. Darcy looks up and then looks back down at his newspaper, and then when he hears the name "Elizabeth Bennet" he looks up and his back unconsciously, gradually goes straight. At this point we can't see his face, just Caroline Bingley's profile as she looks at him, taken aback by his reaction. It is a lovely little bit of body language that I have just rewound and watched six times in a row, and I would never have noticed it before.
(Also just after that, when Elizabeth walks in, he looks terrified. That never fails to make me giggle.)
(Also, right when she walks out it is so obvious that he is kicking himself for not managing to say something cooler. Oh, Mr. Darcy, patron saint of socially-awkward introverts everywhere).
Basically I love everything in this movie that involves Caroline Bingley. I don't know if it's a cultural thing or just reflects badly on me as a person, but I am charmed by people insulting each other very politely.
Also, since I started sewing, I keep pausing movies to look at how the costumes are put together. I love the dresses in this movie (so flattering! So comfortable-looking!) and it was only yesterday that I figured out about the y-seam in the back of the bodice. Why is it there? What does it do? Is there really no side seam?
I realize that discussing this without screencaps is unfair to everyone who hasn't seen the movie as much as I have, but it's sunday morning and I'm having a livejournal ramble, so there.
Happy Sunday?
