Review of Sense and Sensibility (1995) by Magnus X — 22 Mar 2009
"Your sister seems very happy. Yes. Marianne does not approve of hiding her emotions. In fact, her romantic prejudices have the unfortunate tendency to set propriety at naught. She is wholly unspoilt. Rather too unspoilt, in my view. The sooner she becomes acquainted with the ways of the world, the better. I knew a lady like your sister - the same impulsive sweetness of temper - who was forced into, as you put it, a better acquaintance with the world. The result was only ruination and despair. Do not desire it, Miss Dashwood.".
A masterpiece of romantic drama directed by Ang Lee and written by Emma Thompson based on Jane Austen's book. This film has it all. Great cast,.
Kate Winslet excel as Marianne Dashwood,.
Emma Thompson is splendid lowkey as Elinor Dashwood,.
Hugh Grant likewise as Edward Ferrars and.
Alan Rickman is marvelous as Col. Christopher Brandon.
Excellent score by Patrick Doyle. Together with fantastic scenery makes this the very best of the Jane Austen books turned into a film.
