Wonderfully adapted by Ms. Thompson
Emma Thompson continues to astound me with her talent. Not only is she one of the greatest actresses working today, the woman can also write! And write well she does. Jane Austen is a frightfully difficult mountain to tackle for even the most experienced of screewriters, and Thompson conquers this feat with the adroitness of an learned professional. (Her Academy Award shows others thought so too)

Emma Thompson plays Elinor Dashwood, a practical-minded young lady who spends most of her energy looking after her two sisters and mother, which unfortunately gets in the way of her marrying. Kate Winslet plays Marianne Dashwood, a passionate lively young woman who isn't afraid of showing her love to anyone. Alan Rickman also delights as the staid Colonel Brandon (oh my god, his voice...) and Hugh Grant is appropriately 'English' as the bumbling Mr. Ferrars with whom Elinor falls in love.

Particularly dazzingly performances from Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet, though their youngest sister, little Margaret, also gives a memorable performance as a spunky, geography-minded girl. All in all, a remarkable film and one to purchase and watch over and over again.

PERFECTION!
An absolute gem! This is a movie you can watch time and time again. It is perfect in all ways.

Sense & Sensibility
We mainly purchased the Sense & Sensibility DVD for our oldest daughter, but the whole family enjoyed viewing it. The language of the times portrayed in this movie was very eloquent and the storyline was very compelling to follow. Amazon has made the availability and purchase of this movie very convenient with a very short waiting time for delivery.
