Let it be a male without a flaw There are TV melodramas so naive that it's even charming - sometimes it's helpful to turn off the brain for a couple of hours to believe in perfect men falling unconditionally in love with stupid heroines. But in the same segment there are just very lazy films. Such hastily sewn defects, unfortunately, most, and “Pride and Prejudice and Dogs” (or “Free Mr. Darcy”) – just one of them.
So, the charming Lizzie loses her job because of terrible injustice, and then meets the arrogant Mr. Darcy, declaring class struggle to all the elites in his person. The environment of the heroine at the same time convinces her that in fact clashes with a man are a genuine passion, does not confuse advisers and the presence of Darcy a girlfriend. Soon, the heroine herself begins to play along with these conversations, building eyes for the poor hero “from hatred.” Oh, yes, there is an intrigue around dog shows (spoiler: always wins the dog in the hands of the heroine).
The whole romance of the film is built on the cliches of popular predecessors of the genre - conventions harmful and even dangerous. Are you suspected of something even though it's not your fault? Get out of town! Does the man give you a dime? He's got a crush on you! On your "against" everyone says that you are lying, and she is very "for"? Oh, well, then it is! Learn, girls. As a result, the script slapped on the frame of “Pride and Prejudice” cannot even justify when it fascinated the character of a young man who personally appeared in the frame less often than some of the dogs of secondary characters.
And this is not the first and not the last attack on the legacy of Austin, but, sadly, one of the most incompetent in my memory. It is surprising that people who are inspired by this ingenious in its simplicity book, can not do even worthy of imitation. Yes, they even took off dogs incorrectly - and this is quite basics.
