Sense & Sensibility (2008)
Sense and Sensibility 2008
To be the same or not to be the same. Andrew Davies's obviously watched the film and did a cut and paste; grabbed the nearest thesaurus and changed some words. Fair play to him but it was very patchy in a sense. Cuts from Scene to Scene; no transition.
I waited eagerly to see Andrew Davies's edition but the interior of the cottage was what it would have been in the 1800s but the persons living then where shorter, so watching the ducking and diving of characters was comical. I bet there were a few sore heads during filming.
Did they use the same cottage in the film version?
I did not like the person playing Willoughby; too young and very odd looking. Give me Greg Wise anytime. I loved the person playing Edward; very Hugh Grant but he pulled it off. The rest of the casting was off centre,the only believable one was Hugh Grants' double.
The narrative was stifling; almost as if the characters where searching for the correct words of the century to use.
Short, patchy and disappointing.
