	Sense and Sensibility (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jane Austen's novel Sense and Sensibility (1811) was adapted into a 1995 film by Emma Thompson, for which she received general acclaim as well as the 1996 Academy Award.
		Like all of Jane Austen's novels, Sense and Sensibility is as much a commentary on 18th Century society as a romance.
		The film captures the plight of genteel ladies "of no fortune" during that period.

	Boston Review: Alan Stone on Sense and Sensibility (film review)
		Sense and Sensibility improves on second viewing -- as you recognize its construction, and the contributions of director Ang Lee and editor Tim Squyres, who worked with Lee on his two previous films, The Wedding Banquet and Eat Drink Man Woman.
		Elinor is the eldest and the "sense" of her family while her mother and Marianne are creatures of "sensibility." The crucial question is how the two older girls, deprived of their wealth and status, will find husbands.
		Some passages in the novel, however, hint that Elinor's "sense" has caused her to behave in such a restrained manner that the man she loved was misled to her detriment.

	Sense and Sensibility Movie: Sense and Sensibility DVD is available from Bestprices.com
		The two have extremely divergent approaches to life: Elinor represents "sense" and believes in behaving with propriety and thoughtfulness, while Marianne represents "sensibility" and basks in her own emotions.
		Thompson finished the SENSE AND SENSIBILITY screenplay five years later, after appearing in seven films, in between which she worked on the script.
		The scene in the film in which Marianne catches a fever after looking at Willoughby's estate is new; in the book, she got ill after an evening walk.

	Britmovie - Sense and Sensibility 1995
		Sense and Sensibility was the author's first published work and, as is often the case with early writing efforts, displays an undeniable shallowness: themes are half- developed, characterisation is uneven, and plotting follows a predictable straight-forwardness.
		Sense and Sensibility is a wonderful motion picture, even given the weaknesses of the source material.
		The novel's flaws guarantee that Sense and Sensibility cannot be a perfect motion picture, but it would be difficult, I think, to do much better with the material than Emma Thompson and director Ang Lee have here.

	Sense and Sensibility
		Other films along similar lines as "Sense and Sensibility" that I recommend highly are "Howard's End," in which Emma Thompson won the Best Actress Oscar but which is inexplicably not available on DVD, and an eccentric gem called "Impromptu," in which she has a smaller role within yet another exceptional cast of actors.
		The film follows the sisters on the road to love and happiness, which is quite a bumpy road, due to the rigorous constraints of 18th century society and manners.
		Sense and Sensibility is, like Pride and Prejudice, a story taking place in the Victorian era, telling you of the caste system that often created catastrophic incidents.

	Filmtracks: Sense and Sensibility (Patrick Doyle)
		The film does have merit; it was a surprisingly good adaptation of the Austin story by lead actress Emma Thompson herself, and the supporting cast led by Kate Winslet and Alan Rickman (in a charmingly rare gentleman's performance) counterbalanced the on-cue bumbling of Hugh Grant.
		For detractors of the kind of ridiculous structure of society resurrected in these Austin tales, Sense and Sensibility is an insipid bore, with the sort of mindbogglingly trivial romance of the era that indeed nearly ruins the larger, overarching themes of the maturing process that the film also displays.
		The romance and interminable conversations in the film beg this kind of basic string, woodwind, and piano writing, and while the charm shines through in the end, Doyle is careful to present his music with just enough solemn pace of restraint to serve the hardships of the women in the film.

	SENSE AND SENSIBILITY
		Though many people are tired of the "Merchant Ivory" period films, SENSE AND SENSIBILITY transcends it's time period with it's story of true love, heartbreak and familial devotion.
		His style gives this film a much greater emotional core than many of the other period pieces that have come out in recent years.
		SENSE & SENSIBILITY is a funny, tragic and wonderful romance that transcends its' period and makes you yearn for love.

		Sense and Sensibility was the author's first published work and, as is often the case with early writing efforts, displays an undeniable shallowness: themes are half-developed, characterization is uneven, and plotting follows a predictable straight-forwardness.
		Austen's later books, including Persuasion, which was developed into a wonderfully sumptuous film earlier this year, and Emma, which received unusual treatment in Clueless, plumb the human soul far more deeply, creating characters and situations of greater versatility and vitality.
		The novel's flaws guarantee that Sense and Sensibility cannot be a perfect motion picture, but it would be difficult, I think, to do much better with the material than Emma Thompson and director Ang Lee (Eat Drink Man Woman) have here.

		The look of this film is fantastic Then there is director Ang Lee, better known today for his stellar work on "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." His previous film, "Eat Drink Man Woman," more than hinted at his prowess as a possible international success with "Sense and Sensibility." His work here is outstanding.
		Ang Lee's first Engish-language film, "Sense" is a vivid period drama, intelligent and involving, and benefitting from Austen's skewering of English social mores, gossip and materialism.

		This 1981 BBC version of Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility" presents a mixed bag for both those who adored the novel and those who were delighted in the 1995 screen adaptation.
		Elinor is the sensible one while her younger sister is the incurable romantic who wants what little sense she has to be overwhelmed by love.
		By the time we get to the requisite happy ending Austen's point about the proper balance between sense and sensibility has been made (Elinor is too sedate for her own good, but that hardly seems as grievous a fault as Marianne's dramatic excesses).

		As Elinor, a determinedly sensible young woman who's learned to conceal her feelings as a proper Victorian should, puts it ""I'm a woman of no rank who cannot afford to buy sugar." Without the benefit of a dowry the Dashwood sisters can hardly expect to marry the right sort of man.
		Kate Winslet is extremely touching as Marianne whose emotional suffering is painful to watch but who ultimately proves to be a woman of sense and sensibility.
		This is case in which all the elements - the acting, the writing, the photography and the directing combine to create what is easily the most captivating movie of the year.

		The film revolves around the two Dashwood sisters, the passionate and highly impetuous Marianne (Kate Winslet) and the more conformist and restrained Elinor (Emma Thompson), who have had a sudden reversal of fortune, having been left impoverished upon the death of their father.
		Thompson may be a bit long in the tooth for the role that she plays, her thespian talents and charm enable her to pull the proverbial rabbit out of the hat.
		I first say this film when visiting England and I was so caught up in the story that I had no idea who was going to end up with who.

		This semi-virginal state proved ideal for experiencing a hushed, sombre film that unlocks its secrets slowly, makes you think, jump, and cry (if you're a terminal wuss), and which culminates in the now-famous, genuinely shocking twist that makes you re-assess everything you've spent the previous two hours watching.
		The $55m Sixth Sense, however, despite the might of Disney behind it, relied on an irresistible combination of word-of-mouth recommendation and an Omerta-like resolution not to give the game away.
		It's a little premature to announce the death of hype, but The Sixth Sense is an increasingly rare example of a film that's succeeded on viewer power alone, which is about as radical as it gets in Hollywood these days.

		Okay, there may be one distinguishing factor between Sense and Sensibility and its ilk: director Lee is Taiwanese, but still observes this very English story with exquisite warmth and period detail.

		Not to be confused with "Pride and Prejudice," the other Jane Austen (1775-1817) novel with a two words that start with the same letter joined by the most common conjunction, "Sense and Sensibility" should also not be confused with a Merchant/Ivory film.

	Jane Austen's Writings
		This novel contrasts two sisters: Marianne, who, with her doctrines of love at first sight, fervent emotions overtly expressed, and admiration of the grotesque "picturesque", represents the cult of "sensibility"; and Elinor, who has much more "sense", but is still not immune from disappointments.
		This is an exuberant parody (in epistolary form) of the cult of sensibility, which she later criticized in a more serious way in her novel
		Characters who have this "sensibility" fall into each other's arms weeping the first time they ever meet, and on suffering any misfortune are too preoccupied with indulging their emotions to take any effective action ("Ah!
