Ang Lee's Austin

I personally think that the most successful film (not including the TV series) that remakes Jane Austen's original work is "Sense and Emotion". Even the most critical Austrian fans will not be disappointed if they read it. This should be attributed to two people: screenwriter Emma Thompson and director Ang Lee.

To condense the thick original work into a two-hour movie, then how to cut the original work is the biggest test for the screenwriter. The screenwriter Emma Thompson is really a talented woman. It is rare to understand the story in less than two hours while retaining the charm of the original. In the deletion, she also added some small details that seemed to be the finishing touch, which made the film look so beautiful. The Oscar for Best Screenplay that year was awarded to her is really well-received. Emma Thompson's outstanding performance lies in the thirty-six-year-old she successfully played the film's middle-aged nineteenth sister Eleanor.

Many people wondered how the Eastern Ang Lee could understand the Western Jane Austen. Really, Ang Lee can make "Sense and Emotion" well, dare you say that Spielberg can make "A Dream of Red Mansions" well? (Khan! What the hell are you talking about?!) But once I saw a friend on the Internet saying: "Actually, the rational Eleanor and the emotional Marian were swapped for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but one is Yu Xiulian. One is Yujiaolong." This friend's vision is really not so sharp!

Winslet (the actor of Ruth in the movie "Titanic")'s classical beauty and her age at the time made her very suitable for the role of her sister Marianne in "Sense and Emotion", especially when she chanted in the wind and rain after the broken love. The scene of chanting Shakespeare, farewell to past feelings, is naturally so affectionate that it does not make people feel contrived at all.

The two male actors did not have many lines, but they performed very well. It was Hugh Grant who played Edward. He was first met in the British TV series "When To Reunion" (I played it in the midnight theater of CCTV many years ago. It was so good to watch. The theme song was also very nice, so for many years. Lai I kept stretching my neck waiting for it to replay, but the TV station hasn't satisfied the desire of the masses?!) Hugh Grant was invincible at that time! Later I looked at his "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and "Notting Hill", and then looked at his "BJ", I felt that he is the kind of guy who can carry any role. There are few noble evils in "To Be Arrived", the obscure paste bucket in "Four", the clumsy and heart-rich Edward in "Sense", the honest and friendly man in "Nuo", the flower-hearted big carrot in "BJ". . . . . . These characters are different and very different, but Hugh Grant is easy to come by and is easy to do, which makes the audience unforgettable.

Alan Rickman, who plays Colonel Brandon, is the actor who played Professor Snape in the movie "Harry Potter", my cool and bad Professor Snape! (Both eyes shine like ing), he is an obsessive character in "Sense".

    Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove: O no! it is an ever-fixed mark That looks on tempests and is never shaken awesome~

    Chinese vases should be included in paintings, in love and reasoning about family property, and be polite and disciplined. Be careful of horse manure and Qiluo skirt, if there is no topic chatting. Jingchai and Shuangshu ask for a good price, the temples are like cutting a heartless man, the poems of changing hearts are tears in the rain, when I know that the king is not married, the heart throbs again
