pride & prejudice (2005)
joe wright director's commentary
everyone shut the fuck up this is the only thing i care about in the entire world
Nothing is funnier to me than Mr. Collins coming up to Darcy with “I’ve made the most amazing discovery! You are the nephew of the great Lady Catherine de Bourgh!” And Darcy staring at him like he’s the most idiotic being he’s ever come across, like, no shit Sherlock. I know she’s my aunt. This isn’t an Importance of Being Earnest situation, I wasn’t found in a basket, I know this dumbass.
Lestat, this is the witches' place!

When barbie notices the leaves in the trees rustling and people yelling and people crying and children playing and people living their lives in this strange other world, and she sees an old woman and she cries and tells her she's beautiful...why was that so emotional?
How did barbie make me see the mundanity of life as something miraculous and new
Imagine that you and I shared a personal language, one that only we two could interpret.
Perhaps we do.

nah cause the fact that jane austen wrote a character like emma woodhouse is still insane to me. she threw all the standards out the window and was like hey, here’s this incredibly complex and nuanced character, she’s selfish, privileged, manipulative and arrogant, but she’s also really fucking kind, she would do anything for those she loves (including sacrificing a lot of her liberties), she is able to admit that she’s made a mistake and grow from it, because those things are not mutually exclusive. and i think the reason why everyone is trying to girlbossify their heroines to make them like lizzie bennet (which is an insult to her character but that’s another story) is because they’re scared to write characters like emma. which is understandable, because she’s unlikeable-ish, and they don’t want to take that risk.
honestly the way jane wrote emma is IMPECCABLE and not everyone can pull it off, but i wish female characters with actual flaws were more popular.
