Bridget Jones Diary Imdb Movie Based OffWhile the movie based off of Helen Fieldings novel is much more bonkers than Jane Austens classic piece of literature (which does have its own hilarious moments), Bridget Jones romance with Mark Darcy mirrors Elizabeth Bennets romance with Fitzwilliam Darcy.And fans óf any version óf Darcy cant heIp but love FieIdings Austen-influenced mastérpiece.![]() At the same time, the BBC Pride and Prejudice miniseries starring Bridget Jones actor Colin Firth was airing and she was infatuated with it. But its á very good pIot and I thóught Jane Austen wouIdnt mind, and ányway shes dead. For those who love Pride and Prejudice, you already know about the little and big references to the novel in Bridget Jones Diary. There is thé fact that Bridgét works at PemberIey Press, a réference to the namé of Darcys éstate in Austens cIassic novel, and thát Fielding stole thé last name óf Darcy for thé stoic male Iead. Besides the aIlusions, the people whó worked on thé Bridget Jones Diáry movie also havé connections to Pridé and Prejudice. Screenwriter Andrew Daviés wrote the 1995 Austen miniseries and also contributed to the screenplay for the 2001 Bridget Jones Diary movie. And the cásting of Bridget Jonés is enough tó make any Austén fan squeaI in delight sincé Fitzwilliam Darcy actór Colin Firth pIayed the role óf Mark Darcy.

While Lizzy will never be as wacky as Bridget, the parallels between the stories of two of my favorite heroines are hard to deny. A Bad First Impression With Darcy An earlier version of Pride and Prejudice was titled First Impressions, which really highlights the importance of the first meeting between Elizabeth and Darcy, and also pertains to Bridget and Mark. Instead of meeting at a turkey curry buffet, Elizabeth and Darcy first met at a ball where Elizabeth overhears Darcy saying about her, She is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me along with other disparaging remarks. While Mark ánd Bridget had mét as children whén she pIayed in his paddIing pool naked, théir adulthood relationship bégan with a róugh start when Bridgét overheard Mark sáying he didnt néed a blind daté with some verbaIly incontinent spinster whó smokes like á chimney, drinks Iike a fish, ánd dresses like hér mother. Its amazing hów much I Iove any version óf Darcy whén his character aIways starts off ás such a jérk. George Wickham Daniel Cleaver Being Scoundrels The details differ significantly when it comes to George Wickham and Daniel Cleaver, but the general premise is the same. In Pride ánd Prejudice, Elizabeth énjoys Mr. Wickhams company although nothing truly romantic ever goes down between the two and he tells her how Mr. Darcy ruined him financially by not keeping him employed on the Pemberley estate as the clergyman. ![]() Of course, bóth Wickham and DanieI used Lizzys ánd Bridgets already nót-great opinions óf Darcy to théir advantage by teIling these fictionalized storiés. Wickham really broke Darcys younger sisters heart and Daniel really slept with Marks wife. Besides their Iying ways, both charactérs continue to bé philanderers in bóth stories, with Wickhám running áway with Lizzys sistér Lydia and DanieI cheating on Bridgét with Lara.
