Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility" is her debut, two years earlier than "Pride and Prejudice", although it is also called her companion book, but it is not as famous as the latter. The reason is simple, British readers of that period also preferred golden sentences. Personally, I think Sense and Sensibility is more cleverly conceived. This version of the film in 1995 was directed by Ang Lee. Before that, although he had won numerous awards, not many audiences knew him in mainland China. The film earned him an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. Kate Winslet didn't have the post-Titanic fame, and Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson weren't as well known as they were in Harry Potter. My knowledge of Hugh Grant also started with "BJ's Single Diary". The book is good, the directing is good, and the acting is better.
