I love movies about romance and Sense and Sensibility is a truly romantic movie.
In 1996 S&S won an Academy Award for BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY and 3 B.A.F.T.A.S for BEST FILM - BEST ACTRESS - BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS.
Certificate:U
*The Cast*
Emma Thompson - Alan Rickman - Kate Winslet - Hugh Grant ~~~~~~~~~~~ Sense and Sensibility is the story of two sisters;
Elinor (Emma Thompson) - being the eldest Elinor carries a lot of the burdens, she listens to her head rather than her heart
Marrianne (Kate Winslet) - the opposite to her sister, she has a passion for life and doesn't seem to have any problem expressing her feelings.
Brought to you by Columbia Pictures you are transported to an era were romance is so very proper and a society obsessed by financial and social status.
After their father Henry Dashwood takes ill and dies, according to the law his estate has tobe passed to his eldest son from his first marriage.
Elinor strikes up a "friendship" with Edward Ferras (Hugh Grant) after a visit to his sister (the wife of Henry Dashwood's first son). Will the "friendship" turn to romance? His current wife and daughters are forced to leave their home and grand lifestyle to find accommodation more suited to their newly found financial state. The sisters are soon accepted into their new society.
Marrianne strikes up a romance with a cad called Willoughby (Greg Wise) much to the horror of Colonel Brandon (Alan Rickman), who carries a secret torch for her. Meanwhile Elinor struggles to keep a careful grip of the family financial affairs and to keep her feelings for Edward a secret from her family.
