In 1995, Ang Lee directed a film adaptation of Sense and Sensibility written by Emma Thompson, who also starred as Elinor. It also starred Kate Winslet as Elinor's sister Marianne, Hugh Grant as Edward Ferrars, and Alan Rickman as Colonel Brandon.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The story begins with Mr. Dashwood, on his deathbed, entreating his son to "take care of" his second wife and three daughters. John most sincerely promises to do so, and then in the space of one carriage ride, is convinced by his wife Fanny that the degree of caretaking mustn't mean any kind of monetary settlement or annuity. Then they take over Norland estate, forcing Mrs. Dashwood and the three daughters — levelheaded Elinor, romantic Marianne, and thirteen-year-old Margaret — to be visitors in their own home, and unwelcome ones at that.When Fanny invites her brother Edward Ferrars to visit, he and Elinor quickly become close, but marriage to a poor woman is not in his family's plans. An invitation from Mrs. Dashwood's cousin, Sir John Middleton, has them move to Barton Cottage and begin their life under reduced circumstances. Also in the neighborhood are Colonel Brandon, an honorable middle-aged man with a tragic past, and John Willoughby, a dashing young gentleman who makes himself interesting to Marianne by rescuing her in a rainstorm.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The film is largely faithful to Austen's novel, but expanded certain characters and drew attention to the differences in societal expectations and gender roles that have arisen between 1811 and modern times. It won Emma Thompson the 1995 Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
| Sense and Sensibility / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: The movie adds scenes where Edward interacts with Elinor in ways not shown in the book, such as helping her to coax youngest sister Margaret out of hiding and discussing their respective future prospects. Not only are many of the scenes hilarious ("What is swabbing, anyway?"), they help give a reason for Elinor falling for Edward where the book never did. The film also gives Margaret some personality traits, notably being a tomboy. She has almost no characterization in the book. In the commentary the creators express profound gratitude that Margaret existed in the book, as they could have her make the "impertinent" remarks that were necessary to move the plot along. (The 2008 miniseries did this as well.) | |
