Austin but not

I've read the book but the actors in this make the movie better than the book, and it's nice seeing the late Rickman as a good guy. Engaging, emotional, beautifully done and very much worth seeing!!

One of the Best.

One of my all-time favorite movies and productions. The score is beautiful as well. Right up there with Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre and Rebecca. The originals of course. Thank u,

Ms. Emma Thompson is the very best there is for us!

Sense and sensibility is about character. Its about those that are evil wicked and cruel despite the seeming graces and superficial charms of civility, and it is about goodness and idealism and beauty for which there is no equal on earth. In this respect Emma Thompson saves the day not only in respect of this movie but rather as a shining beacon on this earth for those that wish to be the best we can as good souls, true christianly spirits in our terrestrial walk on this good earth bestowed by the good lord for those of his own.

The balance between the desire for being sensible as it were while giving positive vent to healthy emotions and doing so in a way that keeps you sane good decent and certainly wise is in fact the ultimate study of the movie.

In this respect we have no better teacher than our lovely dear Emma. shes the best at al there is in this respect, her speech at the golden globe awards for her well deserved award for this movie said it all. Her articulation prowess, her captivating charm her immense beauty and her most lovely lovely spirit are in fact a wake up call for those who as yet only look like she does, yet have so much potential if they will only accept her as their queen and learn to be like her. That would make for a lovely world, one in which Id want to have a place and to make my own way having contributed to the fullest in my own right for Emma.Read full review...

Great Movie!

I have enjoyed this particular version of Sense and Sensibility for years. While other versions of the story have merit, this has become my favorite!

Perceptive interpretation of Jane Austen, famous actors in cast.

Of the several versions of Jane Austen's Sense & Sensibility I have watched, this is incomparably superior; carefully crated scenes and conversations, cast filled with famous actors.

Sense and Sensibility directed by Ang Lee

Wonderful DVD. Extra Features include another scene between Elinor and Edward Ferras, after their engagement. Audio tracks include Ang Lee's directors commentaries and, Emma Thompson's comments as the screenwriter. A priceless gem of a feature is the inclusion of Emma Thompson's acceptance speech for Best Screenplay Adaptation at the Golden Globes; which she delivers as though penned by "Jane Austen" herself. Emma Thompson is an accomplished writer, and a brilliant actress. Ang Lee proves himself yet again to be a sensitive director with the gift of telling a highly nuanced story that delivers great emotional impact.Read full review...

My take on Sense and Sensibility

I loved the casting in this film, couldn't have picked a better cast. The acting was superb, and the costumes were spot on. I am a Jane Austen fan, and I thoroughly enjoyed this film, just as I enjoyed Pride and Prejudice. I bought this film because I loved it the first time I saw it and wanted it for my own. If you have a girlfriend, or if you are a woman, you'll love the romantic sentiments in the movie, and you might even get the man in your life to watch it with you. He will if he knows what's good for him. Plus, it's great to watch by yourself, or with a group of girlfriends. It's an instant classic, and I give it 2 enthusiastic thumbs up.Read full review...

Jane Austen a great story teller.

I really enjoy the way characters develop in such a way that I think most of us can understand.
