 Pride and Prejudice (2005 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was filmed totally on location around the UK in the summer of 2004 at stately homes including Chatsworth House in Derbyshire (as Pemberley), Groombridge Place in Kent and Burghley House in Lincolnshire (as Rosings).
Some critics noted that the length of the film did not permit the film to be as faithful to the book as the five-hour 1995 television version.
Criticisms made by some critics were that the film placed greater emphasis on romantic atmosphere than social comedy and that the casting of Knightley as Elizabeth unsettled the balance of the story (in the book it is Jane Bennet who is the family beauty rather than Elizabeth).

Much the same is true of the filmed versions, yet the three movies are of such high caliber that a viewer who enjoys one is likely to be equally captivated by the other two.
The two are not immediately attracted to each other -- a fair share of pride and prejudice separates them (hence the title) -- but, as the story progresses, they are forced to examine their hearts as well as their preconceptions about each other, in order to understand the truth.
Whereas the 1940 film version of Pride and Prejudice, which starred Laurence Olivier as Darcy and Greer Garson as Elizabeth, conveyed the bare bones plot of the novel, it was less successful in translating the book's tone to the screen.

 The Observer | Review | Film of the week: Pride & Prejudice
The first film for the cinema by Joe Wright, an established TV director, working from a script by novelist and TV playwright Deborah Moggach, this widescreen Pride & Prejudice is a brisk affair with a narrative drive that finds relatively little time for reflection.
The latter's pride and arrogance immediately antagonise the spirited Elizabeth (Keira Knightley), second eldest Bennet daughter and the one, for obvious reasons, best liked by her sardonic, ironic father (Donald Sutherland).
It is appropriate, therefore, that after endless intrigues, proposals made and rejected, social signals misunderstood, lives enhanced and depressed, and an elopement, the film version ends not with marriages but with Bennet's final resigned quip to Elizabeth after giving his blessing to her forthcoming union with Darcy.
