"Sense and Sensibility"--Awakened Love

Monte 2022-08-03 19:09:49

A squire dies, his son inherits the estate, and his stepmother and three sisters are forced to leave. With the help of a cousin, the family settled into the hut. Among the three sisters, the eldest sister and the vicious sister-in-law's younger brother have mutual affection, but they have not been named, and they lost contact after moving. The good times didn't last long, and the young talent lost his right to inherit and went to London. Soon after, the second sister found out that he had a marriage contract, and it was painful, while the eldest sister found that the lover in her heart had already been privately set for life, so she could only give her blessings. The love of the two sisters is dying, but soon they also find their own happiness.

Idea:

1. Sometimes it's not that you don't love; it's just that another thing overcomes love.

2. The eldest sister is mostly rational, and the second sister is mostly emotional, but in the end, the emotion that the eldest sister finally broke out and the reason that the second sister suddenly awakened brought them to happiness.

3. Never forget the concept of equality between men and women, no matter how many tragedies the male inheritance system in the film has caused, and never make the same mistakes twice.

A well-known director, really worth watching.
