Kiera Knightley, Pride and Prejudice

I just watched the Kiera Knightley version of Pride and Prejudice. Boo, hiss. 1) How can you call it "adaptation" when you change the story? Austen was a master - don't mess with her. 2. Knightley never closes her mouth! Someone must have told her that she was more attractive with a half-open mouth - but for that moue to be effective, it must be contrasted with some faces with lips together. Does she do that in all her movies?

Why did I stay up to watch that when I knew every minute was making me more irritated.

I agree. I didn't like that version. And her Mr. Darcy was no Colin Firth.
