What Parents Need to Know
About Pride and Prejudice (1980)
Parents need to know that, despite a lack of objectionable material, this made-for-television miniseries' extended length, antiquated language, and subtle themes make it dead boring for younger kids. Even older kids may find the stuffy cinematography and formal, stiff manners of Georgian England a turn-off. But for lovers of literature, especially that written by Jane Austen, this adaptation of her novel is a treat.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what happens when a book is translated into a film or TV show. Is it possible to get every nuance of a book into a film? What sort of changes might be necessary in order to hold audiences' attention, to keep from confusing them with too many characters, and to telegraph what characters are thinking, when they don't speak their thoughts aloud? Also, students might use this video as a study aid, as it is quite true to both details and the spirit of the novel.
