Let's hear it.

The debate is, of course, who is the definitive cinematic Mr. Darcy? Are you loyal to Colin Firth from the 1995 BBC miniseries? Or are you a defender of Matthew McFadyen from the 2005 Joe Wright film?
S
27:28speaker_1HOST
It is a fascinating study in how different eras interpret the exact same text.
S
27:32speaker_0HOST
It really is.

27:33speaker_1HOST
If we look strictly at Austen's source material, she wrote Darcy as profoundly aloof, deeply uncomfortable in social situations, and fiercely private.
S
27:43speaker_1HOST
Matthew McFadyen captures that social anxiety with a sort of painful, quiet vulnerability.
S

See, I am a massive McFadyen defender.

Joe Wright's direction in the 2005 film focuses heavily on sensory intimacy.

And then, like, yeah.

So, um, MacFadyen is related to the people who owned the manor before, and he's inherited it, and he kind of lied to his friends, 'cause he was just too chicken to stay in it by himself, and he wanted to check it out.
M
12:30MelHOST
But he didn't want to...
M
12:32MelHOST
He kind of made it into this, this weird face-saving elaborate lie where he was just like, "Oh, let's all go shooting at this manor." And like, "Oh, we need a beater.
M
15:13MelHOST
Um, [laughs] uh, so make of that what you will.

MacFadyen's little Charleston moment is beautiful.
M
15:22MelHOST
There's a moment where our protagonist friend, I can't remember his name, I think, uh, comes in to the hallway and, like, peeks through the keyhole and sees MacFadyen, who has invited them all, um, doing the Charleston in his bedroom with a gramophone on the floor.

I think Oldman as Smiley in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy was wonderful because they also captured some of that kind of very old-fashioned British Bakelite and brown Windsor suit, all slightly dowdy kind of post-war world, and it's brilliant.
B
57:15Ben MacintyreGUEST
But I have great hopes for the new one, for, for, for Matthew Macfadyen as, as Smiley.

57:20Ben MacintyreGUEST
They've just released the, um, the first stills from that, and he is, he is brilliant.

I think he's absolutely superb actor, Matthew.

For a full cast list of people who don't think funding transphobia that strips trans people of our rights is a deal breaker, head to the IMDb links for these projects in the show notes.

It is worth noting that Nicholas Hoult has since backed out of the project, citing, quote-unquote, "scheduling difficulties." Call it what you have to so you can get out of the contract, I guess, but the fan outcry over him joining this franchise was pretty big, and I certainly hope it made him realize the harm he'd be doing to both the trans community and his career.
