Please. Forgive me, madam, for taking up so much of your time.

#sometimes i scroll down gifsets of this scene and just start laughing  #bc wtf are you doing joe wright? why are you putting a hate makeout in a story about money and emotional repression?  #but like on the other hand you go ‘OF COURSE’  #‘YES THIS MAKES SENSE’  #these two people have too many thoughts at any one time for whatever room they happen to be in  #and fundamental problems in communicating everything going on in their heads  #i mean they both have people they love and people they talk to obvs  #but like one of the reasons lizzie and mr bennet are so close is that she can be mean with him  #like they can bitch together  #can you imagine having only one person in your whole life who you don’t have to be ‘pleasant’ with?  #and even then there’s a limit to how much she can break loose  #and darcy is on 98% emotional lockdown most of the time  #and is basically ashamed of having Feelings in general anyway  #so this is probably the first time they’ve had the luxury of a screaming fight  #they simply cannot really rip into it with anyone else in their lives without huge emotional fallout and cleanup  #whereas this?  #this is flexing some muscles that have been taut for a while  #they both have the intelligence to be really truly creatively mean  #mean with direction  #mean with speed and accuracy  #and they have nowhere to put that  #until this shitshow  #and
they’re both just like ‘I’M HAVING FEELINGS AND HERE THEY ARE IN POINT
FORM – IF POWERPOINT HAD BEEN INVENTED I’D HAVE SLIDES’  #and they’re both just talking as fast as humanly possible to stay in 5th gear  #and keep up with everything their brains have finally been given permission to instruct their faces to yell about  #a lot of adaptations play the first proposal as something that Feels Bad and that’s accurate of course  #but in some ways this nasty little honesty trainwreck at full volume also Feels Good from a certain point of view  #so to lead it up to ‘oh shit are we about to make out up against a column in the temple of apollo at stourhead??’  #well that’s sort of apt to be honest

I feel the need to pass this loveliness on to you , my fandom friend:

The would-be lip lock after so much bickering? Knightley says the idea was hatched not by “Pride and prejudice” director Joe Wright but well before filming began, when she and Macfadyen met in an audition room.
“I did the scene with all of the guys who were up for Darcy, because I was cast before we found Mr. Darcy. It wasn’t in the script at all. But as we were doing the scene, it just so happened that it felt right to do, right at the end. So we went through the scene, and we did it really, really quickly. We were literally in each other’s faces. And then we both went in for a kiss, and went out. There was complete silence in the room. And he was cast straight after that.”
