I am either vibing with the female leads of period dramas - the bisexual icons - the guy in the midlife crisis - the middle aged guy who is in some crisis - the supporting crew who need to get themselves together - the guy who inhabits the dark academia aesthetic - the woman who is trying to get shit done
I'm currently updating my portfolio so here's an illustration of Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy! I also added the old one which is from 4 years ago (I think). Always nice to see the progress you've made over the years 😇
Hope you like it! 🥰
Hi! This is my first Reel, please be kind👉👈,
I love Pride and prejudice in every form. Did you know of the musical from 2020? It's so funny and I needed a meme out of it😆
Based on the intro for the Song "Bravado"... Poor Mr.Darcy... he liked her eyes🤣
She is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me, and I am in no humor at present to give consequence to young ladies who are slighted by other men.
Anna Chancellor played "Duckface" (aka Henrietta) in Four Weddings and a Funeral in 1994 and Miss Bingley in Pride and Prejudice the following year. You almost wouldn't believe it was the same actress, she looks so different. Austen adaptations tend to be a who's-who of English actors with familiar faces popping up across adaptations (eg. Sophie Thompson* in Persuasion 1995 and Emma 1996, who was also in Four Weddings) but what I found interesting was the similarity of two shots in these movies.
Fiona (Kristin Scott Thomas, with similar vibes to Miss Bingley) comes up behind Charles (Hugh Grant) as he watches Carrie (Andi MacDowell), the character he loves, her head over one shoulder, hand on the other (Miss Bingley would never!). Anna Chancellor as Miss Bingley, appears on Darcy's opposite shoulder while he's watching Lizzy Bennet. Both engage the men in conversations about the women they're watching.
The difference being that Fiona is in love with Charles and tells him so directly as this scene continues. Austen doesn't indicate Miss Bingley is in love with Darcy; it's likely she wants to marry him for his money and status. Miss Bingley never makes any kind of declaration to Darcy; it would be unseemly to do so. She does think she is a much more appropriate match for him than Lizzy. There is a shared pain of the person they want to be with, watching and wanting to be with someone else. Ordinarily it might be a stretch to say a modern woman wants to marry a man they love, but marriage is front and centre in Four Weddings, so it's likely.
Bonus: Anna Chancellor is also distantly related to Austen. It's a very small world

If you'd like to discuss Austen with my privately you can book a "Read With Me" session.

en la SALA PEQUEÑA con @nesthimos @leohiranc @mrdarcv
intento por abrir las puertas traseras de aquella sala resultan inútiles; y no son las primeras puertas completamente bloqueadas que se cruza. no le sorprende, pero sí lo lleva a dudar un poco de las decisiones tomadas por quienes les han convocado allí. ‘ ¿cómo están tan segures de que no existirá una tercera diablerie en esta misma sala? ’ inquiere, cuando percibe la presencia de alguien más en la sala. ‘ si las dos anteriores fueron por deporte, apuesto que nos vemos tentadores para quien sea que las cometiera ’
