History Film / PrideAndPrejudice2005

* AdaptationExpansion: This film contains many scenes and lines of dialogue which did not exist in the book. For example, a sequence where Mr Bingley practices proposing to Jane.

* BelligerentSexualTension: Some scenes between Lizzy and Darcy positively boil over with this, most notably their DanceOfRomance at the Netherfield ball.
** After Mr. Darcy's attempt to propose to Elizabeth devolves into a bitter argument, Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth both lean in as if to [[SlapSlapKiss kiss]], then Mr. Darcy awkwardly apologizes and leaves, all while taking a [[LongingLook long look]] at Elizabeth.
* BerserkButton: The berserk is relative given the social mores for gentlemen of the time, but Elizabeth mentioning Mr. Wickham to prompts Mr. Darcy to take a couple of steps towards Elizabeth and drop some absolutely blazing sarcasm - [[SarcasticWellWishing "Oh, yes, his misfortunes have been very great indeed."]]

* CannotSpitItOut: The adorable scene at Mr Collins' house, where Darcy makes the most incredibly awkward conversational gambits ever heard by human ears.
* CaptainObvious: When Charlotte announces that she and Mr. Collins are engaged, Lizzie asks if she means that they are to be married. Charlotte asks what other kind of engaged there is.

* DeadpanSnarker: Lizzy and Mr Bennet.

* AdaptationalComicRelief: Mrs Bennet's annoying ways are played for comedy more so than in the book.

** Mary's more unlikable qualities are filed off -- particularly her KnowNothingKnowItAll attitude and refusal to socialise.
** Darcy's pride is downplayed in favor of his poor social skills.

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the book, Georgiana is a younger female version of Mr Darcy; one of her major characteristics is being ''painfully'' [[ShrinkingViolet shy]] in front of new people. In this version she's a bubbly social butterfly with a sunny disposition who immediately chats with Elizabeth with perfect ease.

* HiddenDepths: Dame Judy Dench imbues the otherwise overbearing Lady Katherine with a sense of tragedy merely with her nuanced delivery of one line.

The 2005 film adaptation of ''Literature/PrideAndPrejudice'' was directed by Creator/JoeWright. It deviates somewhat from the novel, including being set in an earlier time period (the turn of the 19th century, as opposed to the 1810s setting of the original) and emphasizes {{romanticism}} more than its source material.

* BerserkButton: The berserk is relative given the social mores for gentlemen of the time, but Elizabeth mentioning Mr. Wickham to prompts Mr. Darcy to take a couple of steps towards Elizabeth and drop some absolutely blazing sarcasm -[[SarcasticWellWishing "Oh, yes, his misfortunes have been very great indeed."]]

* CassandraTruth: A mild example. At the Netherfield Ball, Charlotte tells Elizabeth that Jane should be more demonstrative about her feelings for Mr. Bingley to move along a marriage proposal, and Elizabeth dismisses her concern. There's some ValuesDissonance mixed in - "There's plenty of time for us to get to know them after we're married!" - but Charlotte is ultimately proven right when Mr. Darcy later cites Jane's apparent indifference as a reason he interfered with Mr. Bingley's courtship of Jane.

* ArmourPiercingResponse: When Lizzy accuses Darcy of coming between Bingley and Jane because of the Bennets not being rich or powerful enough for him, she's taken aback when he reveals the real reason for his discouragement of the match. For an added cherry on top, a sound of thunder is visibly heard after he gives the response:

* BackhandedCompliment:
** A lot of Mr. Collins's lines. He proposes by assuring the woman that he does not have a problem with her low social status and relative poverty. When Lizzie visits he tells her not to worry about her best clothing, as Lady Catherine has never objected to modesty.
** Charlotte argues there's no reason she wouldn't be as happy with Mr. Collins as with any other man.
** Elizabeth, on her part, tells Mr. Collins that no one would ever accuse his manners of seeming rehearsed.

Intelligent, lively Elizabeth Bennet (Creator/KeiraKnightley) is the second of five daughters to a landed family in Hertfordshire. Since the Bennets have no sons, Mrs. Bennet (Creator/BrendaBlethyn) schemes for her daughters to marry well so they will be provided for, to the consternation of Mr. Bennet (Creator/DonaldSutherland). The arrival of the handsome, wealthy and eligible Mr. Charles Bingley (Creator/SimonWoods), his sister Caroline (Creator/KellyReilly) and their well-off friend Mr. Darcy (Creator/MatthewMacfadyen). Mr. Bingley and eldest and loveliest Bennet daughter Jane (Creator/RosamundPike) hit it off, but misconceptions and judgements abound before everyone involved can find marital bliss.

The film also stars Creator/TomHollander as Mr. Collins, Creator/CareyMulligan as Kitty, Creator/JenaMalone as Lydia, Creator/TalulahRiley as Mary, Creator/RupertFriend as George Wickham, Creator/TamzinMerchant as Georgiana Darcy, and Creator/JudiDench as Lady Catherine de Bourg.

* ComplimentBackfire: Mr Collins asks which of the Bennet girls prepared the "[[ItIsPronouncedTroPAY excellent boiled po-tay-toes]]" served at dinner. Mrs Bennet takes mild offense to his implication that the Bennets can't afford a cook.
