*Six hours no longer seems like a long time.
*You begin to wonder why all 电影院 are not six episodes long.
*You have memorized where the commercial breaks come as well as the order of the commercials in each break.
*You watch the movie all the way through non-stop - then rewind it and start all over again.
*The movie just keeps on getting better every time 你 watch it.
*On a 最近的 visit to a local lake, 你 were inspired to dive in and go swimming fully clothed.
*Your relatives and 老友记 no longer think that 你 are strange for asking them to call 你 "Lizzy".
*You sing along with the background music.
*You find ways to quote Pride and Prejudice in daily life: "That 衬衫 is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me." ...etc...
*After hours of studying the dance scenes, 你 held a party and forced all your 老友记 to learn the dance steps so that 你 could pretend to be Lizzy at the Netherfield Ball.
*You are saving up money to go to England to visit the filming locations.
*You made a special trip to England last 年 just to visit the filming locations.
*Your itinerary includes a special trip to Pemberley where 你 plan to stand at the window and say, "Of all this I might have been mistress" - and 你 are devasted when 你 find out that this is not possible since the Pemberley interiors and exteriors were filmed in separate locations.
*You think of time in terms of the number of Pride and Prejudice episodes 你 could watch in that amount of time. For example: "I’ll see 你 in four episodes" = "I’ll see 你 in four hours."
*You have pets and stuffed toys named Lizzy and Darcy.
*You name your first two children Lizzy and Darcy.
*Right after 你 splurged and bought the P&P video boxed set, 你 made two copies of it. The original videotapes are now in your display case (along with all your other precious objects and silverware), one copy is at your relative's house in case of a fire, and the third copy is for your daily viewing.
*Others refuse to watch P&P with 你 because they find your habit of reciting the whole movie in unison with the actors annoying.
*Even though 你 have never lived in Britain, 你 now regularly speak with a British accent.
*You find yourself often saying that 你 are "excessively diverted", "quite put out" 或者 "most seriously displeased."
*You dance along with Lizzy and Darcy every time 你 watch the Netherfield Ball scene.
*You have played the whole movie in slow motion to prolong the ecstasy of watching the movie. (Unfortunately, the 音乐 and the sound doesn't work on slow motion so 你 don't do this very often.)
*You commonly use the "frame-by-frame" advance function on your VCR so that 你 don't miss any miniscule detail of your favourite scenes.
*Upon discovering that some characters wear their costumes 更多 than once in different parts of the movie, 你 were inspired to draw up a large 表 in order to 搜索 for possible correlations between the costume worn and the mood of the character.
*You have drawn maps and layout plans of the rooms and the buildings in the movie.
*You special ordered a CD so 你 can listen to "Mr. Beveridge's Maggot" (over and over again) even when not watching the Netherfield Ball scene (eg. in the car, on the bus, while washing dishes, on the airplane, while taking a walk, while going for a jog, while vacuuming the house, while painting a fence....)
*You own two copies of Pride and Prejudice - one for the bedside, and one for downstairs reading.
*You own three copies of The Making of Pride and Prejudice - one for the beside, one for downstairs reading, and an extra copy in case either of them gets lost.
*You giggle whenever 你 see Mrs. Bennet 或者 Mr. Collins, before they even open their mouths.
*You find yourself constantly quoting your 最喜爱的 lines from P&P and 你 feel sorry for your family and 老友记 when they give 你 confused looks since they have only watched P&P once (horrors!) and can't recall the lines.
*You start thinking of excuses to wear muslin dresses in the Regency style so 你 can look like Lizzy and Jane.
*You spent the past five months researching Regency fashions so that the "Netherfield Ball" dress that 你 will be wearing to the 下一个 formal occasion is historically accurate.
*You no longer need an excuse to wear Regency style clothing - 你 now wear it everyday as your own personal fashion statement and as a indication of your progressive sense of style!
*Your family and 老友记 put a on when and where 你 can talk about P&P because, unbelievably, they are just so sick of it. (For example, Tuesdays and Thursdays are designated P&P-free days.)
*The above happens and 你 resort to saying lines that 你 hope they won't notice are from the movie (such as: "no, no, the green one.")
*You searched everywhere for a script of the movie and finally wrote your own (by studying each scene in detail) when 你 couldn't find one. With your new script in hand, 你 often recruit all your 老友记 and force them to be a part of your P&P play while 你 simultaneously 星, 星级 as Lizzy (or Darcy) and direct it so that it matches the movie exactly.
*You have a complete 列表 of all the differences between the book and the movie.
*Your 列表 of differences is cross-referenced to the script of the movie that 你 wrote earlier.
*Every time 你 open "The Making of P&P" book, 你 immediately have to start watching the 视频 all over again!
*Saturday night finds 你 and your best friend putting your hair in buns and curling your bangs into ringlets in an attempt to imitate Regency hairstyles.
*You start referring to your ex and his new ditzy girlfriend as Wickham and Lydia.
*You realize everyone in your life fits a character in P&P, and 你 start desperately asking your "Colonel Fitzwilliam" if he has any cousins.
*When your friend declares a dislike for P&P, 你 seriously consider and re-evaluate the basis of your friendship.
*You have written your own stories to conclude the lives of the other characters in the movie.
*You are very proud of your most 最近的 story, called P&P: The 下一个 Generation.
*You tape a picture of Lizzy (or Darcy) to your ceiling so it's the first thing 你 see when 你 wake up in the morning.
*You download pictures of the movie from the internet to put in picture frames in your living room.
*As an excuse to watch P&P 更多 often, 你 contact every friend and acquaintance 你 can think of and offer to loan them the P&P tapes (the backup ones, of course) with the understanding that 你 need to be there for the viewing.
*You can relate to most 或者 all of the signs mentioned above!
