Keira Knightley In ‘Pride & Prejudice’

According to Austen’s novel and the movie itself, Lizzie is quite plain. Even Mr. Darcy describes her as “not handsome enough to tempt me.” But I think we can all agree Keira Knightley is beyond beautiful. The director disagreed, saying that the actress’ tomboyishness and “scruffy independent spirit” was perfect. Knightley does manage to embody these aspects, but the world’s most spectacular acting couldn’t convince audiences that she is barely “pleasing” to look at.
