PRIDE&PREJUDICE

SYNOPSIS
It's a story happened in a rustic of England at the end of the 18th century. The Bennets, a family with five daughter and no fortune. Meet the rich and handsome newcomers, Mr.Charles Bingley and Mr. Darcy. Mr. Bingley immediately taken with the eldest daughter, Jane, the gentle beauty of the family. Lizzie, a self-determined girl with beautiful face. Mr.Darcy tended to admire her wisdom and vivacious character. While Lizzie had a lot of misunderstanding about him.With a crisis of her little sister, Kitty, Lizzie finally realized how much she loves Mr. Darcy.

I've seen this movie before, which I was really touched and I liked it a lot. And I got the chance to recall my memories this week. The story concerns courtship and marriage among the gentry of pre-industrial England, focusing on the pursuit of love vs. the pursuit of financial security and social status.The part I like most is When they are having a second party, and Mr. Darcy invited Lizzie to dance with him. Many girls think just Lizzie, they might have a prejudice about man. But they will know there's a Mr. right waiting for her.

Kate & Leopold

I saw this movie on TV last night, it’s a story take place in New York and it’s talking about a Duke, Leopold, who time travels from1876 to 2001 with an amateur physicist, Stuart(which I think look like my English teacher in school..) . Leopold met Kate in 2001, an ambitious career woman and also Stuart’s ex-girlfriend. And although they can’t find true love within their own generations, it might be possible with one another.

I saw some movie review said that the plot of the story is not creative enough and seems like to cater the audience and become a fairy tales that they live happy ever after. Because in the Kate go bake to the past because she saw a picture that she was dancing with Leopold in 1876. But not because Leopold said something moved and made her touched.

However, I did not think that much when I was watching. This movie may not be my favorite one, but I do like happy endings.
