Darcy and Elizabeth: Their Wedding Night (Leaving More or Less to the Imagination) - Jane Austen Variations
May 7, 2021 - That was the day a copy of the ’95 film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice fairly leapt off the shelf and into her oversized shopping cart. After watching the mini-series, Shannon was hopelessly hooked on the story, Colin Firth’s Darcy, and all things Jane Austen. One may guess what followed – compulsive reading, late-night trips to the library and video store, secret rendezvous with Mr.

May 31, 2022 - Colin Firth....ahhhhhh. However, in the first 3, the costume designers must have forgotten that the story takes place in the UK Regency Era and not the US Civil War Era. 🤭🤭 ... I loved seeing this in Dutch! I need to watch that one. Yeah, 1995 can't be beat as far as I'm concerned. To me the rain is a ridiculous distraction in the 2005 but both actors do fine. 1980 Darcy is way too stiff, just standing there, but I love Elizabeth in that one.

February 14, 2018 - He gets what makes Darcy tick and what makes his female audience tick: a throbbing heart trapped under layers of shyness, pretension, and social convention a meter thick. Up until this point Firth gives a relatively restrained performance but in this scene his Darcy literally cannot sit still. When he comes to call on Elizabeth at the Collins’ home, she sits down and invites him to follow suit.

October 5, 2022 -
I’ve read and studied the book multiple times, I know the 2005 adaptation like the back of my hand, I adore this adaptation too.. But for the first time I’m giggling to myself at Darcy’s awful first proposal 😂
It’s like a tutorial on how NOT to propose:
Step 1. Blurt out your infatuation with the lady out of the blue and whilst she’s alone and headachey
Step 2. State how it’s quite obvious to everyone including yourself what a terrible idea this match is
Step 3. Keep going anyway, keep digging that hole, really knock her ego down whilst telling her you love her
Step 4. Explain how hard you’ve tried not to be in love with her because, as you mentioned before, it is a BAD idea
Step 5. Pop the question
Oh Fitzwilliam Darcy you clueless, adorable man 👏🏼

It's a great scene. I used to have the DVD set and booklet for the 95 series. IIRC that was the first scene that Firth and Ehle did together, the awkwardness definitely shows.

I once read an interview with Colin Firth where he said he realised he couldn't just act that scene and make it believable, so he managed to work himself into a mindset whereby it was incredibly romantic to make it clear that he'd thought seriously about this marriage and all the downsides and a massive compliment that he wanted Lizzy anyway. He did this so well that he was rather surprised a few days later to overhear some of the film crew talking about how terrible Darcy's proposal was. :)

Colin Firth is a real one. Stanley Tucci in his memoir describes how Colin Firth basically drove him to all his chemo appointments. During the first COVID shutdowns, Colin Firth was in Italy with his ex wife and kids and ended up helping his former brother in law run an outdoor vegetable stand so people could get groceries.

September 22, 2015 - It was Davies who wrote the screenplay ... it was Davies, not Austen, who had Mr Darcy (Colin Firth) going for an impromptu dip in his private lake, before striding away in his clinging wet shirt and bumping into his future bride, Elizabeth Bennet (Jennifer Ehle)....

The REAL Reason Darcy Married Elizabeth
April 30, 2023 - As P&P unfolds, we happily suspend disbelief when we learn that both Darcy’s moral and monetary ledgers are in the black—not to mention he’s tall and cute. While it’s obvious why Elizabeth chose him, a certain question began to haunt me—why does DARCY choose ELIZABETH? In my opinion, Colin Firth scored as Darcy because he humanized him.

Darcy: I don't actually want to do this, but I have to tell you I love you. By the way, even telling you that would make my family and friends hate me, since your family is embarrassing and you're unfashionable and poor. But I want you, so I'm prepared to put up with society's mockery, even though I think that they're right and we're not a good match. Marry me. Lizzie: That's really offensive, I refuse. Darcy: You said no too easily. How dare you reject me so thoughtlessly? Lizzie: How dare YOU propose to me by telling me that you hate my family, my character, and everything about me? And why do you think I would marry you, when you've messed up my sister's chances with Bingley?

The content is pretty simple: He tells her that he has fallen in love with her and despite how awful her family is, he’s going to marry her. She tells him that he is rude and she has no interest in him. He goes into it assuming an enthusiastic “Yes!” from her because he’s rich and has no idea that she has quietly loathed him for the six months of their acquaintance.

r/PrideandPrejudice on Reddit: Who Was The Better Mr. Darcy — Colin Firth or Matthew MacFadyen???
July 22, 2023 -
I’m sure this has been debated here before, so please be patient with me...
I’m torn.
Colin Firth was an amazing dark, brooding Darcy. Firth is the master of the barely perceptible smile that takes him from standoffish to extraordinarily handsome and approachable. And I know the BBC version is far more accurate. And well Firth soaking wet from diving into the water…quite quite lovely.
But MacFadyen was a much more passionate, vulnerable Darcy that I adored. I mean, “I love you…most ardently.” And later still, “I love…I love…I love you.” Which I fear Jane Austen never wrote.
So I’m leaning towards MacFadyen. I will admit, however, I’ve seen the movie a bazillion times and just binged the BBC series for the first time.
Someone here suggested, you fall in love with the first version you’ve ever seen. And I have to say, the sweeping music…Darcy striding across the field at sunrise…his passionate declarations…pretty much did me in.
I think it’s MacFadyen for me.
Please don’t kill me or criticize me too harshly. I fear - I KNOW - I haven’t been the Jane Austen purist that I should be…
I’m actually afraid to hit “Post”!

Colin. MacFayden has 0 pride. Darcy wasn't shy sad missunderstood boy. He was arogant man, Who though himself better than others becouse of his position in society. Also I don't see him as romantic tbh. The confession in rain and walk in the dawn seems ridiculus for me. Like Twilight level of ridiculous. For me the most romantic scene was when Lizzy was telling about Lydia in 1995. The way he took her hand and let go becouse it would be highly inappropriate to hold. The way he REACTED when she was crying. Also MacFayden probably gets lower score for me becouse the movie just ignore manners of 18/19 century and I can't help but notice. For example when Elizabeth was introduced to Georgiana. Georgiana just ran ahead and he just shouted the introduction when walking three steps away....

Colin Firth or Matthew Macfadyen? There Should Be Room in Pride & Prejudice Fans’ Hearts For Both Mr. Darcys
November 15, 2025 - His performance was so iconic, in fact, that it helped make him a star — and he sort of reprised his role in the Bridget Jones’ Diary series, where his character Mark Darcy was based on his portrayal of Darcy in the miniseries. Firth’s performance is excellent. He has wonderful chemistry with Jennifer Ehle’s Elizabeth Bennet, and the way he opens up, showing new sides of himself, after he proposes to (and is rejected by) her, is wonderful.

October 21, 2024 - I also love the scene when he's walking through Pemberley in the dark after Elizabeth and her relations have been there, and he's just remembering this moment. It's a look of, "holy shit, I might actually have a chance!" It's as close to giddy as I think Darcy is capable of being, and it just kills me! ... Do you want more hot Colin Firth?

February 17, 2011 - Despite his numerous credits, Firth did not receive his major breakthrough until he appeared as Fitzwilliam Darcy in the television miniseries Pride and Prejudice (1995). His portrayal of a repressed aristocrat whose haughtiness hides his growing affection for Elizabeth Bennet (played by Jennifer Ehle) earned Firth a devoted following.
