I had originally seen the movie when it came to video and at the time he hadn't come to America so I had no idea he was in the film.<br /><br />My favorite story related to this film is something that happened during the audio commentary for the film Love Actually. Hugh Grant is with the director and the director comments that his film re-teams Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson. Grant asks, "What else have they been in together?" There's a brief pause then the director responds, "Sense & Sensibility. It's a good movie. You should check it out." Grant just made a sound of disgust when he realized how stupid he had been.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759165361533454798.post-66453316866959343322012-05-11T02:21:13.295+01:002012-05-11T02:21:13.295+01:00Wahooo!!!

Bonus for mentioning ALAN RICKMAN... yes he deserves the all caps as he truly made the film for me. Who cares about the other men in this film when you've got Col. Brandon with his utmost kindness, dignity, love... and THAT VOICE. I love Alan Rickman forever because of this role and Emma Thompson's script is just top notch. There is nothing boring about this film for me, even the slowest parts are so lovely. Glad you enjoyed this Diana.ruthhttp://flixchatter.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759165361533454798.post-85977335214727431532012-05-10T22:45:10.998+01:002012-05-10T22:45:10.998+01:00@Max: Try it out, but if you haven't seen Jane...@Max: Try it out, but if you haven't seen Jane Eyre [2011] or Pride and Prejudice with Knightley, see those first!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18333927581755884053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759165361533454798.post-52546635568847582792012-05-10T22:16:05.530+01:002012-05-10T22:16:05.530+01:00I've never seen this adaptation, but I've ...I've never seen this adaptation, but I've heard a lot of love for it lately.

A couple of minor or unnecessary characters written out, but as far as I can remember that's about it. <br />Caps lock is definitely necessary when you're talking about ALAN RICKMAN! He was so good in this, how could anyone not fall in love with him? (Well, one of my close friends is an example...but she was never a fan of Austen/period dramas to begin with, haha)<br />Great review Diana - I think I understand what you mean when you say there was something lacking, but for me it was just the opposite I guess :) It was probably seeing such a beloved story brought to life like this was (though I will admit it did have it's very cheesy moments *cough*theending*cough*)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00175638828147935702noreply@blogger.com
