      Sense and Sensibility--Combine Both Two

      Ang Lee's storytelling ability is the best among the directors I've ever seen. The story is told very well, without any pitfalls; the full name is no distraction; and the ending is often the most brilliant, often with big surprises. Emotions are delicate. I was conquered by him again (following the wedding feast). My sister is very sensual and won't hide her feelings, so she loves vigorously. The scumbag...

      Watch the third Jane Austen movie

      I saw this movie on TV by chance, and the focus at the beginning was on Kate Winslet, the youngest daughter, who was lively and brave. And the more the plot goes down, the more I feel that the eldest daughter's temperament and forbearance make people familiar and distressed. Later, Baidu Film learned that it was adapted from Jane Austen's work. No wonder the temperament of the heroine is such a feeling. Colonel Brandon, who likes the youngest daughter Marianne, has always been very kind to her,...

      two questions

      The beauty of "repression" should be regarded as a kind of symbolic label of Ang Lee's films. He combined the 18th century British etiquette with the subtlety of the oriental people to express "people who are blinded by appearances, those who recognize the essence, and those who recognize the fate after realizing the essence". Only there is no modern society [people who choose to go their own way after recognizing the essence]. Is this an improvement or a regression?

      Of course,...

      beautiful in one word

      Ang Lee's films are beautiful, beautiful scenery and beautiful music. People are also beautiful, because I haven't read the novel, so I don't know if the script adaptation is appropriate, but it is still an award-winning script. Manor in the English countryside, how gentlemen and ladies live. It seems trivial, but it can also see the spiritual outlook of people's lives in that era. Jane Austen is a real genius, she knows what girls are thinking at that time, dare to love, dare to hate. And her...

      Central six. This is the first time I know the specific story of reason and emotion, and it really is a companion piece of Pride and Prejudice, and many plot arrangements are similar. Due to habit, it is still suitable for two professors to be paired...

      At that time, Jane was still young, so I had to give an ending to the drama... Keep sense when you can't keep your sensibility. The most memorable part of this exit was Edward's words to his fiancee of 5 years: " How do you do" can really directly pull the person's mood curve into the A-share trend chart! It can definitely fall to the...

      I Weep You No More Sad Fountains. Is love a fantasy or a feeling, no, she is pure and true eternity, she is not like a gorgeous flower that will wither and die when it leaves the branches of youth, she can grow carefree in a barren land without needing to use it. Sweet words to drive away...

      Some plots remind me of [Pride and Prejudice]. Since I haven't read the original film, I dare not make comparisons, but this film has Alan Rickman, KateWinslet and Ang Lee, who I like very...

      There's a particularly wonderful scene where Edward and Eleanor sit opposite each other and stop talking, but the rhythmic bells in the room create anxiety instead. ˙ Ang Lee is very good at filming the emotion of forbearance and restlessness, because he often captures the environment very accurately, and the crying scene at the end was so well...

    Evaluation action

    "This "Sense and Sensibility" has been stamped with the indelible seal of Ang Lee's typical restrained director style. Although this Eleanor is older than people expected, Emma Thompson managed to unearth this touching role. Vulnerability, and Kate Winslet, who had such an eye-catching performance in Sin Angel, also perfectly captured the confusion when Marian’s idealized romance was betrayed."-Michael Dwyer, "Ireland" Times Review
