I missed the first part of this thread (only have access to the Internet from Mon - Fri at work). Am I right in thinking that you want access to an Italian-English Dictionary online. If so, try out the following link.

: This is a phenomenon not unlike the "our song" thing. I thought I was the only one who got nostalgic about film soundtracks.

Thank god I'm not alone. I surprised myself preferring singing parts of this soundtrack to the radio/tape. Quite unusual for me. My three year old daughter wondered why there is no more music in the car (except for the likes of Akuna Matata)! Was actually wondering THIS MORNING whether there was a tape. Going to get the CD TODAY. And when I learned P&P2 begins playing tomorrow morning on AE, yesterday,I ran to subscribe to this channel so I would'nt miss anything. Upon subscribing, I notice the The Movie Network 1 will air Persuasion in mid-november.
Kindred spirits well appriciated

: : : I was eating lunch yesterday at Au Bon Pain, a fast food sandwich place, when I suddenly felt very tranquil, despite the fact that my 2-year old lunch companion is not especially genteel. Then it hit me---on the piped-in music, Voi Che Sapete was playing---the song Lizzie sings at Pemberley. The Look! Sigh. I felt momentarily transported. I wish I'd had some BB friends there to share the moment---and I suspect you would all have been less likely than my little girl to spill chili on me. Coincidence, or is everyone taking advantage of Austen-mania? If so: more, please.
: : : Jane A.

: : Along a similar vein; when someone posted "The Look" picture, I could hear running through my mind Voi Che Sapete! Will I ever be able to hear it again and *not* think of Darcy?

: Last summer I was in Harrod's book dept. when I heard the music from P&P2 playing quietly in the background. Needless to say, I couldn't leave the dept. till it was finished. I now have the CD and play it in my car all the time.
: Inko

Please, someone must tell me where they found the soundtrack. Did you have to order it or is there a store that sells it? I have been searching for months! It will be greatly appreciated :) --Sarah

: : : Colin wasn't at the presentation ceremony, but he gave a very witty acceptance speech from a poolside in LA.
: : : : : : : Bernie
: : : : : : : PS. His hair has been dyed dark, and the mutton chops are back (although they're not as large as in P&P)! He also gave us one of those SMILES, sigh!
: : : : : : : Bernie, you never even gave us a hint that this was firthcoming...excuse me, forthcoming. With just a bit of notice, we all could have gotten satellite dishes and been ready ---- not to mention, some of us chartering flights so as to join you in your living room. Have you no group loyalty??

: : : : : Actually, I had no idea that this was on myself, until I switched on the box and there he was!.. . P&P2, Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle were all nominated. I got my husband to (try to) video if for me. I know that Colin and Jennifer didn't win, but I've no idea whether P&P 2 won the best drama award. My other half managed to cut this!!!
: : : : : Bernie
: : : : : Bernie, you are forgiven.
: : : : As for your other half, there can be no excuse. Any man who cannot perform the most basic of marital duties.....programming the VCR......is not worth having.
: : : : With condolences on your choice of husband, Grace

I'm a bit confused by all the reference to the music to P&P2.
Is there a sound track? If so can any of you tell me the name?
If there is no sound track can you recommend one with at least
some of the music I've heard on P&P?
thanks for your help

Well said.
May I recommend that next time you write a long post you do it on a word processor and copy it over. It's much more reliable and you can save it as you go! ;-)

Where have you been, Kali? I have missed your youthful teasing. I would beg to differ with you on part of the above. You'll not get a lot of truly awful spelling from me, I would hope. You, however, have broken many records in that category. But, enough chiding... I will, indeed, admit to the hormonal rantings, of which you were much aware!

: : Also, there's the fact that even while you may love your family members, you don't choose them, and often you don't mesh perfectly with them. I guess finding the right mate is a way to compensate for a misfit family, but, unfortunately, most people in Austen's day and many today don't find that that's the case.

___________________
I'm not the expert on dysfunctional families, but right now I am writing my senior scholar paper on the families of Jane Austen's novels in general and what types of parenting styles they have. I think that Mr. Bennet's parenting style is permissive-indifferent (he lets the girls do what they want but has no active part in their lives at all), and Mrs. Bennet is permissive-indulgent (she lets the girls do what they want but insists in meddling constantly). Mrs. Bennet is the one constantly worried about what will happen to her five daughters if they are not married by the time Mr. Bennet dies. Mr. Bennet does not place as much emphasis on what happens to the girls and takes little interests in their activities.
Plus, the Bennets are guilty of playing favorites. Mr. Bennet clearly favors Elizabeth, and her life is the only one that he really has interest in because Elizabeth "has a bit more quickness than the rest." Meanwhile, Mrs. Bennet clearly favors Lydia because Lydia is the most like her. Neither one of them cares for Mary, Kitty is lead by Lydia and therefore is probably next in Mrs. Bennet's affection, and Jane is considered by her father to be a sensible girl, but not singled out as Elizabeth is by him.

___________________
Has anyone read Jane Smiley's "A Thousand Acres"? I read it last year in an English class. Anyway, the reason that I ask is because I read in an article somewhere that Colin Firth was going to be playing a part in the film, but I just can't quite picture the character he's supposed to be playing (named Jess). I mean, I know who the character is in the book, but I don't see him playing the part! (This is not to say that I don't think he will do a fantastic job. I'm just saying that he isn't who I visualized as the character when I read the book.) If anyone else has read the book, write back and let me know what you think.

There's a CD of Colin Davis's original music on fortepiano. I got it mail-order from A&E. It doesn't include the Mozart aria Lizzy sang or the dance at Netherfield.
Hope this helps.

I just ordered the soundtrack from a web site that sells CD's. The link is below (http://www.abcds.com/index.html). Do a "New CD" search for Pride and Prejudice. Or, you can call them at 1-800-468-4249.
The price is $14.59 + $1.95 shipping/handling. When I submitted my order, I received an email message back saying it would be between 7-10 days until I receive it (I can't wait!!).
Hope this helps!
