Les Maries sont de retour
The fairest of them all
Oui je sais, bel anachronisme music - image. Mais je suis faible et je n'ai pas eu le courage de récupérer des chants grégoriens...I know I know, that's a pretty nice music/picture anachronism. To my defense, looking for gregorian songs is not my top priority yet.
Vingt dieux!
Everything cannot be a happy ending my dear Maries. Do remember Anthony Haselby: people started to gossip after his messing with the traffic for Mary Penelope. Her sister, Mary Ophelia, sobbed over his moving confession. However, weak though she may be, she's not an idiot. Why would she believe his words when he's been harassing her for the past fifteen years. It was out of question she would be, once again, the laughing stock of the whole town! She closed the curtain and told the coachman to leave. But what was that feeling slowly entering her heart while she remembered his face, with no malice nor anger, but only pain, when she told him he would never see her again? Did she make the right choice?
Wickham le beau parleur
'est tout un art de raconter des mensonges; quelques omissions et quelques petites déformations de la réalité. Georges Wickham en a fait son atout drague et notre chère Lizzy est tombée dans le panneau. Sa société lui était bien aimable pour condamner Mr Darcy au titre de "plus méprisable des hommes". Mais le coeur de miss Bennet n'est pas des plus facile à charmer et surtout beaucoup moins interessant que celui d'une Miss King à la dot plus juteuse.
Les cousines Withmoore
What an unpleasant surprise! When Mary-Suzanne arrives at the autumn ball, all she can see is her cousin Lydie, aged 16, dressed like a marchioness, and surrouned by all the men of the assembly. What a shame for the Withmoore family! Such an attitude is certainly unacceptable! Suzanne cried during the whole evening... Nevermind honour and virtue, for it was her very first ball, and Lydie stole the show...


La méchante...
Do you remember Mary-Lavinia and her dear cousins? Mary-Bettina Hamilton is rich, smart, beautiful, and proud... Among all the Lavinias, she is, without a doubt, the most unbearable... But Mary-Bettina has a secret. Everytime Bob-Justin Alexander, the priest's son, is around, her heart starts beating faster, and her mind gets filled with the craziest ideas... Ha, Mary-Bettina, you are not that different from the other girls, when a boy is around, you get over excited too!

Officers! A whole Regiment!
Among the Bennet sisters, Lydia is not the prettiest, nor the brightest... She is a typical teenage girl. At the age of fifteen, her only goal in life is to find love. When a whole infantry regiment arrives at Lambton, her heart starts pounding with high excitement, and all she can see trough her eyes, is glittering passion. Never mind reason and virtue, Lydia will find a husband! And even trapped by evil George Wickham, she manages to get through, a ring shining on her finger, a bright smile on her face, and in addition, mommy's benediction... Ha, Lydia, you are the most unbearable silly goose of all England...
Instant télévision : si vous n'avez pas eu l'occasion de voir les films adaptés du roman Orgueils et Préjugés de Jane Austen, je vous recommande le drama de la BBC (avec le très beau Colin Firth) plutôt que le long métrage... Il est bien plus fidèle à la version papier, et surtout le personnage de Lizzy est interprétée par Jennifer Ehle, très charismatique en comparaison à Keira Knightley. En revanche, si vous voulez juste voir de belles filles, c'est le film sans hésitation.
TV trivia : if you have never watched any TV adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, I recommend the BBC drama (starring handsome British actor Colin Firth) over the 2005 movie. Keira Knightley doesn't make a very good Lizzy Bennet, while Jennifer Ehle is stunning in the role. However, the female cast is certainly more attractive in the movie... The choice is yours!
