Look, I have never fully understood why women love Mr. Darcy so much. Or rather, I guess I do. I imagine it has to do with wanting to believe that every man who is sullen and uncommunicative and vaguely insulting is?secretly in love with you.?Women of Earth ? he is not. He is just sullen and uncommunicative, and it?s important not to confuse one for the other.
But, no matter, there is still a giant statue of Colin Firth?s version of Mr. Darcy rising out a lake in England, so pay no attention to any of my logic.
The Daily Mail says:?
The installation was commissioned to celebrate the launch of UKTV?s new TV channel Drama and Mr Darcy was chosen because Colin? Firth?s lake exit from the?BBC?s 1995 adaptation?of Pride and Prejudice was named the most memorable British TV drama moment of all time in a recent survey.
For a moment I was heartbroken that it seemingly beat out all of Monty Python until I realized it was just the most memorable moment in a drama.
The creators claim:
?We took Colin Firth?s famous lake scene as a starting point for creating Mr Darcy but we also read the book and looked at performances of the brooding hero by Matthew Macfadyen, David Rintoul and even Laurence Olivier.?The challenge for us was capturing the spirit of Darcy as handsome and noble but also aloof and proud. The Mr Darcy sculpture is a real mix of the many portrayals of Jane Austen?s most famous hero.?
Ugh he is not noble but aloof, he is just a jerk, probably. In real life, I mean. Not in Jane Austen. Jane Austen remains not real life.
