anyataylorjoy:“Matthew has incarnated Darcy as that complicated layered person who isn’t easy in his skin and who isn’t easy to love, yet who is a good person with a sense of honor and integrity. [Macfayden] was not afraid to be disliked by an audience at the beginning of the story and we have to dislike him because we are seeing him through Lizzie’s eyes, and we grow to love him as Lizzie does.” - Joe Wright“You need to see that kind of rugged beauty in Darcy, knowing that here was a man who walks across fields, climbs trees, and very much manages his own estate. With Matthew, you can see that etched across his face, yet he’s also got this extraordinary vulnerability. On the page, Darcy reads as being very cold, but Mathew is so vulnerable through his big manliness that he gives Darcy extra qualities.” - Keira KnightleyPRIDE & PREJUDICE2005, dir.
