Sense and Sensibility is more cleverly conceived than Pride and Prejudice

Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility" is her debut, two years earlier than "Pride and Prejudice", although it is also called her companion book, but it is not as famous as the latter. The reason is simple, British readers of that period also preferred golden sentences. Personally, I think Sense and Sensibility is more cleverly conceived. This version of the film in 1995 was directed by Ang Lee. Before that, although he had won numerous awards, not many audiences knew him in mainland China. The film earned him an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. Kate Winslet didn't have the post-Titanic fame, and Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson weren't as well known as they were in Harry Potter. My knowledge of Hugh Grant also started with "BJ's Single Diary". The book is good, the directing is good, and the acting is better.

    "Since you can't go to nature, I brought it to you." The original story is great, and the script adaptation is great. Both knees are dedicated to Jane Austen and Emma Thompson. I even forget that this is a movie. The work of the director "Ang Lee". There are many roles, taking turns, and good shows. Love spreads lingeringly under the English Manor. It is true that it will be happy, forbearing for a turnaround, and waiting for a return. "Love is blazing, burning"

    It is not surprising that Ang Lee's first foreign language film excavates Jane Austen under six feet for "criticism", because the lifestyles of those who uphold "Pride and Prejudice" are completely in line with the relationship between explicit and implicit in traditional Chinese culture And the reality of the misjudgment of self-perception in "Diet Men and Women". His gradually improving "Sense and Sensibility" not only crosses the cultural context of East and West and is neutral between the two, but also sees the unity of historicity and modernity in the seemingly opposite phrases of the 18th century texts.
