Bridget Jones's diary

It might be the fact that I have only arrived in September and naturally I still do not know England half as much as people who lived here forever, that the first movie came to my mind in connection with 'britishness' was Bridget Jones's diary . It reflects on modern English and single lifestyle in a slightly silly and comical way. Most of its events take place in London and the casting is typically from British Cinema, including actors such as Colin Firth (who played in 'Shakespeare in Love' and in the TV mini-series 'Pride and Prejudice') or Hugh Grant (who acted in 'Sense and Sensibility' 1995 and in 'The English Man Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain') . What I found interesting in Bridget Jones's diary that beside the story it also represents the class differences or rather the social background of the characters, putting an emphasis on the education (indicated by the educated Mr Darcy and the less educated Bridget Jones) that, I think, is a key concept in defining "what is English".
