Sense and Sensibility is one of those movies that you always hear people talking about and until you watch it you don't know what all the fuss is about. This adaption of Jane Austin's novel is written for the screen by Emma Thompson and nicely directed by Ang Lee.
Emma Thompson also stars in the movie as Eliner Dashwood - Kate Winslet plays Marrianne Dashwood and the movie has an impressive cast including Hugh Grant, Emile Francois, Alan Rickman and Hugh Laurie.
The story is about Eliner and Marrienne who on their father's death are cruely denied any inheritence to his fortune. They have to leave the estate but soon find some hope when they are offered a home by a relative on a Devonshire Estate.
A romance begins when Marrienne meets John Willoughby (Greg Wise) and Colenel Brandon (Alan Rickman). Eliner meets Edward (Hugh Grant) and starts her own quirky love story. Austin's characters are all brilliantly written for the screen and performed by a smashing cast.
Emma Thompson also won the best screenplay oscar for this movie and deservedly so - She is one of those rare actresses who is always reliable on screen.
The film is nicely shot in various English locations. The direction by Ang Lee (before he made 'The Ice Storm' and 'Riding with The Devil') is excellent and so is the soundtrack. If you want to watch a moving drama with some nice comedy moments in it then have a look at this movie.
