Pride and Prejudice and Zombies | comment |
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is a 2016 action comedy horror film adapted from Seth Grahame-Smith's 2009 parody novel of the same name. Written and directed by Burr Steers and produced by Natalie Portman, the film stars Lily James, Sam Riley, Matt Smith, Lena Headey, Charles Dance, and Jack Huston.Following Colonel Darcy's failure to prevent the slaughter of the inhabitants of Netherfield Park during a whist-party, due to the hostess's refusal to tell him of a second potential zombie infectee, the place is acquired by Darcy's friend Captain Bingley, much to the delight of Mrs. Bennet, and the indifference of her husband and eldest daughters, who are rather more concerned with their potential survival than their matrimonial prospects.At their first meeting at the Meryton assembly, Darcy succeeds in mortifying Elizabeth's pride, only to rapidly change his mind upon seeing her prowess in combat. Elizabeth, however, despises him, which is only encouraged by the arrival of Lieutenant Wickham, who tells her of the great wrong Darcy has done him.That is about as close as the text sticks to the original Pride and Prejudice. As far as its faithfulness to Grahame-Smith's parody, it also diverges quite sharply from the text by focusing far more on the world of Regency England now beset by a Zombie Apocalypse, causing substantial alterations to the plot and characterisation as a result. | |

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies / int_126ce03c | comment |
Mrs. Bennet is shown to be slightly younger and prettier than she is in Jane Austen's novel. It's suggested that she was pretty in her youth but her looks faded over the years. Although Sally Phillips is the right age (forty-five), she's Older Than They Look. | |

Katanas Are Just Better | |
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies / int_12a22bd8 | comment |
Katanas Are Just Better: Averted, which is notable because the book played it straight. Mr. Bennet is considered to have made a social faux pas in sending his daughters to study the deadly arts in China rather than Japan, but the Bennet sisters are just as skilled as the others. Both Darcy and Catherine use katanas, but they aren't shown to have any special qualities compared to Chinese or English swords. | |

Shrine to Self | |

Shrine to Self: Lady Catherine de Bourgh, being the deadliest woman in England and hero of many zombie battles, has a very large portrait of herself slaying a zombie in a manner similar to the Archangel Michael◊ or St. George◊. Judging by Lizzie's reaction, she thinks it's a bit much. | |

Shoot the Dog: Darcy appears ready and willing to follow this philosophy whenever he suspects someone of being infected, whether it's the sister of the woman he's falling in love with or his own best friend. And when he was younger, he was forced to put down his own father after he became infected with the zombie plague. | |

Hidden Depths | |
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies / int_2dc0d2bf | comment |
Hidden Depths: Despite her claims that she doesn't want to marry and finds being 'paraded like a herd of heifers at a cattle-market' at the local assemblies degrading, Elizabeth pretty clearly does care about the fact that her training, social position and relative lack of accomplishments due to her father's focus on training his daughters as warriors mean that she is unlikely ever to be able to marry, and she is much more stung by Darcy's initial insult as a result of this insecurity, where in the original Pride and Prejudice her chances of matrimony were rather higher and so Darcy's insult did not have quite as noticeable an effect. | |

Rank Scales with Asskicking: Darcy is a Colonel in this version of 'Pride and Prejudice' and is actually seen leading men from the frontlines. Wickham, being The Antichrist leader of the zombies, seems to be significantly tougher than any ordinary zombie and does not succumb to blows which would dispatch the garden variety zombie. | |

Skewed Priorities | |
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies / int_3d2c6d30 | comment |
Skewed Priorities: Mrs. Bennet, at least so far as her husband is concerned, for being more concerned with marrying her daughters off than seeing that they can defend themselves against the zombie hordes. Played with, however, in that marriage is still an important part of the Bennet girls' future prospects due to the entail on Longbourn and, in fact, having somewhere to go when Mr. Collins inherits is of even greater importance due to the risk of being devoured by zombies if they don't. Those attending the party at the beginning of the movie are hiding an infected family member in their house and will not reveal this to Mr. Darcy, knowing that Darcy's rigid stance for mercy killing. As a result, the infection spreads and even more people die. | |

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: Lydia appears to be sorry for her elopement with Wickham and grateful to her sisters for saving her. On the whole, she is far less of a silly character: being trained in the martial arts must have provided the discipline that her parents would have otherwise neglected. Mary, as well, is a less tedious character with her introverted habits and is shown to be adept at fighting as her sisters. | |

It's suggested that she was pretty in her youth but her looks faded over the years. Although Sally Phillips is the right age (forty-five), she's Older Than They Look. Lady Catherine is an elderly woman in the original book, but can't be older than middle-aged here. In this case it's justified, as Lady Catherine is now imagined as a skilled zombie hunter still young enough to fight in battle. | |

Upper-Class Twit | |
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies / int_9cc1a329 | comment |
Upper-Class Twit: Bingley, to almost Too Dumb to Live levels. When zombies attack the ball, his first inclination is to go for Darcy instead of fighting them himself, and when he does go after them, he's subdued almost immediately. Later, he is almost strangled to death when a zombie grabs his cravat. Played with, however, as one could argue that his decision to go to Darcy indicates that Bingley knows full well that he is not a particularly capable fighter and so trying to find Darcy, a very competent swordsman with a proven record against zombies, was the most sensible course he could have taken, if not for Elizabeth's intervention. | |

Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette | |
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies / int_a0434be6 | comment |
Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: Darcy. Dresses primarily in black, hunts zombies for a living, and is something of a Perpetual Frowner. Even the people in his own class appear unsettled when he walks into the room. His penchant for beheading fellow guests at whist-parties may have something to do with this. | |

Too Dumb to Live: After witnessing a zombie hunter prove that a normal looking man is infected , Mrs. Featherstone remains silent when Darcy asks whether the man has any relatives who he may have had a chance to infect . Once Darcy leaves, one of Mrs . Featherstone's guests or relatives incredulously says that the Zombie Infectee's niece is present , but Mrs. Featherstone ridiculously claims that he doesn't want to subject the girl to be interrogated by Darcy , as if what he does is a great sacrilege , never mind that his method of interrogation is perfect , non-violent if the person is not a zombie and just submits people innocent to a slight annoyance . The niece is infected and proceeds to turn most if not all of the house and party guests . | |

Sacrificed Basic Skill for Awesome Training | |
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies / int_b6b58f | comment |
Sacrificed Basic Skill for Awesome Training: The Bennet sisters have extensive Shaolin training but are not nearly as well-versed in womanly arts like drawing, singing, or cooking. Lizzie argues to Darcy that this is inevitable and a person can only specialize in one area, and it seems that she's right: the genteel and social Bingleys are terrible at combat, while expert swordsman Darcy has No Social Skills. | |

Offscreen Teleportation: Lizzie stumbles upon a group of men dressed as undertakers who do this when Wickham interrupts her. She is quite disturbed later when she sees the painting at Lady Catherine's that depicts the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse the same way. Darcy later encounters what are presumably the same four men guarding Saint Lazarus and easily bypasses them, indicating that they were probably just members of the Lazarus cult dressing the part of the Biblical entities. | |

It Can Think | |
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies / int_c95d04f2 | comment |
It Can Think: Zombies are shown to be capable of passing for human until they first eat human flesh, and even after that they are capable of creating traps for the living. This is exaggerated by the congregation of Saint Lazarus who are capable of controlling other zombies and creating much broader plans for conquest and domination, due to eating pig brains rather than human. | |
