You really nailed it with the P&P example they "showed" emotions in a way that so many romance movies just don't get right. The Darcy Hand Flex is iconic because it evokes so much feeling!!
Loved this article! In the same way that thinking about adaptations helps us to reflect on romance novel expectations, I felt like this article made me reflect on romcom movies beyond adaptations & some of your points made me think about what’s missing from the current romcom releases. Can’t wait for the post on contemporary adaptations!!
