	chel1395 picked Donald Sutherland (2005): Super tough question. I'm conflicted. We get to see much more of Mr. Bennet in the 1995 version and he's so quick and witty. But, Donald Sutherland is always fabulous and I especially like the scene between him and Mary when he comforts her at the party. Ugh, I'm torn. posted più di un anno fa.

	kateliness2 picked Donald Sutherland (2005): I love how much you see of him in the mini series, but I love all the scenes (especially those between him Mrs. Bennett, he teases so well) with Donald Sutherland in the movie. posted più di un anno fa.

	tessajanuary picked Donald Sutherland (2005): I thought that Whitrow was too flawless of a Mr. Bennet. In the book, we see that no one in that family is flawless. In the mini series it seemed to me like his character is less flawed. In the 2005, you can see that he too is not a perfect parent. Besides, I think that he's an amazing actor! posted più di un anno fa.

	Jillywinkles said: Darn it! I almost picked Whitrow but I just couldn't--I love Donald Sutherland too much. Whitrow was great at delivering those snarky lines, but Sutherland wasn't bad either and you really felt his love for Lizzy. The scene at the end where he's crying... And I also liked the scene with "Peace! is that all you care about!" You could see that Mr. Bennet is human and faults too. AHh but Whitrow's version was so close to the book! You see how I can't decide. posted più di un anno fa. last edited più di un anno fa

	TypicalSquint picked Donald Sutherland (2005): donald sutherland is the man!!! posted più di un anno fa.

	evrogers picked Benjamin Whitrow (1995): Benjamin Whitrow infused so much heart into the role. You could see the remnants of his love for his wife, even through all the teasing, in his eyes. And that final scene with Lizzy when he kisses her forehead and gives his permission for her marriage makes me cry everytime I see it. Donald Sutherland was very good, but Whitrow was masterful. Every subtle gesture he made was the perfect choice for his character. posted più di un anno fa.

	juleseemimi picked Benjamin Whitrow (1995): Donald Sutherland was interesting, but not Mr. Bennet. He lost all the humor of the book. He needed some prozac and a hairbrush. He's seriously depressed. That is not at all what Jane Austen created in that character. posted più di un anno fa.
