    THIS is where we see book Charlotte. The Charlotte who isn't sure of her own success. The Charlotte who knows that happiness is not certain. The Charlotte who is logical and practical and, yes, even cynical.

      If you chase after happiness with the idea that "I will only be happy when..." you'll never get it. Because it's as fleeting and fickle as the the wind. Happiness is a choice, not a goal.

    I love how they aren't afraid to let you just sit in the awkward silence, and what a brilliant way to incorporate the "inseparable friends slowly drifting apart" theme of the original. Great writing/directing/acting.

    After watching some of the bloopers, I can't stop laughing whenever I watch this video, because one of the bloopers when Lizzie is being Darcy, talking about fine eyes, but in the bloopers she says "the pleasure of a pair of... boobs"

    It's the modern version of Charlotte's views on marriage from Chapter 6. 'Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance'. Only here, a job/career is substituted for marriage.

      @hollybronis4942 Před 3 lety +31

      The book never describes her as ugly, just plain. Which in large part is probably due to being right next to younger and really pretty Jane and Lizzie. Plain does not equal unattractive

    ''Can't predict Hapiness... too many variables.'' Great line, but still cynical. Hapiness is often a choice more than a chance. Some people have not much and are still super happy (Lydia), and others are rich and successful and still are miserable (Caroline).
