Movies, books, and crap like that Mark Darcy in Bridget Jones's Diary is undeniably similar to Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice. For one thing, they have the same last name. They also both appear to be arrogant. And they fall in love against their will. And the actor in Bridget Jones looked exactly like the actor who played Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice. Oh wait, it was the same guy. Colin Firth. He's, um, cute. I suppose I'd have to read the book to find out if there's some intentional allusion to Pride and Prejudice in it. But reading a book after you've seen the movie isn't always a good idea. I read Forrest Gump last summer, and it was nothing like the movie. It was actually a very stupid book. Very stupid.
