“One Of The Make-up Artists, Who Stood Beside Me While We Were Shooting [the Meadow Scene], Whispered

“One of the make-up artists, who stood beside me while we were shooting [the meadow scene], whispered very quietly: ‘I wish that was my life.’ And I think wish fulfilment serves a purpose. I think a lot of people consider it a cop-out or a cynical act, but I think wish fulfilment is very important in drama. And it’s important for the people who watch it and the people who make it. We need to have something to reach for. To not settle for less.” — Joe Wright, during director’s commentary of Pride & Prejudice.
