Sense and Sensibility is more cleverly conceived than Pride and Prejudice

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.

    [Shanghai Studio 4K Restoration] 1996 Berlin Golden Bear Award. Delicate and expressive, meaningful and long-lasting. Reason and emotion, subtle and unrestrained, forbearance and passion, calm and fiery, are all in it. Ang Lee's control and control of audio-visual language is impeccable, and Emma Thompson's exquisitely adapted script and penetrating performance are the soul of the whole film. In the theater, the audience sometimes burst into laughter, and sometimes burst into tears. I burst into tears for a while. (9.5/10)

    "Since you can't go to nature, I brought it to you." The original story is great, and the script adaptation is great. Both knees are dedicated to Jane Austen and Emma Thompson. I even forget that this is a movie. The work of the director "Ang Lee". There are many roles, taking turns, and good shows. Love spreads lingeringly under the English Manor. It is true that it will be happy, forbearing for a turnaround, and waiting for a return. "Love is blazing, burning"

  • Marianne: Colonel Brandon.

    [Though trying to slip out, he eases slowly back into the room, almost afraid to speak]

    Marianne: Thank you.

    [a fleeting look of mild gratitude crosses his face from these first sincerely kind words she's ever spoken to him]
