Writing adapted scripts is usually a thankless task. Faithful to the original is afraid of being said to be uninnovative, and creating a plot and being afraid of being drowned by the original slogan, but "Sense and Emotion" is an exception. The first third of the original work is basically the young Miss Austen's sensual and rational side-to-side fighting, accompanied by a third-person description and few dialogues, so it is slightly boring, until the 22nd episode of the sudden change of the situation, the marriage contract with Edward After being kicked by Lucy, the conflict in the story became intense. This allows Emma Thompson to make room for changes. The first third of the space accounts for about half of the movie's time. The relationship between Elinor and Edward is almost entirely an original plot, which puts the various characters in full bloom before the turn of the story. Up. In contrast, Elinor and Lucy’s scheming part has been greatly reduced, the roles of the two male protagonists have been increased, and the most dramatic scenes have been retained-the Dashwoods are more than stingy, the first conversation between Elinor and Lucy, and the confrontation between the two heroes. The embarrassing scene, Edward's last confession, gave people the right feeling. The most powerful thing was that a prom scene was used to solve many problems, which was a magical stroke. Emma Thompson deserves the award for best adapted screenplay.
Different from the original admiration of rationality, Ang Lee's version emphasizes the unity of opposites between sensibility and rationality in human nature. Continuing the tradition of suppressing emotions until the explosion in the "Father's Trilogy", Ang Lee reconstructed the theme of "Sense and Emotion" in his way-the suppressed emotions will eventually be released, and it seems that rationality just has not found an object to express. Elinor tolerated the whole process, making the final emotional explosion extremely tense. Brandon was not as ordinary and dull as the original, but slowly opened his heart to his beloved Marianne to show his sensual side, and even Mr. Palmer tried his best to discover the sensual side. It can be called the biggest spoof of Ang Lee's delicate style in this film. It is said that Ang Lee used "yin and yang" to explain this idea in the interview-indeed, some characters in the original book are too caricatured and clown, especially Mr. Palmer (in the film, Mrs. Palmer is caricatured), Li After the infusion of Ann's style, all the characters are magically personalized, making people almost blurt out the first time after reading it-it's ok. It was taken by Ang Lee. In fact, we all learn advertising know that almost all appeals are emotional appeals in the end.
There are no purely rational people, but they are not sad.
