I, personally, find Emma Thompson a much more realistic Eleanor, and thought that particular comment extremely appropriate to the situation.Alexa Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10086472405632748174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6589226281542951200.post-54650354070308633502011-01-29T09:35:17.420-05:002011-01-29T09:35:17.420-05:00The film is indeed excellent.

Somewhat sadly, however, just as I reconciled my problems with the films (as a junior in college, writing a warm-up on adaptation for my thesis), the new film came out which addressed my major discontentment with this film - which is to say, my lack of connection with the characters.

I love Sense and Sensibility, it is one of my favorite novels, but if I were to list my favorite Jane Austen novels, it would probably be towards the bottom. <br /><br />I am enjoying your reviews on these adaptions!Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07081700715706497061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6589226281542951200.post-15155010219242860692011-01-28T12:28:32.956-05:002011-01-28T12:28:32.956-05:00Hi Svea.
