Marianne spends much of the book believing that the lives of the older people around her are frozen in place, their circumstances set sometime in their youth. But the events of the book disabuse Marianne of this way of thinking. When she first drafted the text that would become Sense and Sensibility , Austen was a late teenager , around the age of her elder heroine, Elinor. But by the time the book was being readied for publication, Austen was almost exactly the age of Colonel Brandon.
And both were about the same age, I should add, as Emma Thompson when she starred in Sense and Sensibility as Elinor, performing a screenplay that Thompson herself wrote and won an Oscar for. I wonder whether Austen, like Colonel Brandon, experienced her mids as a new beginning. However, by the time this movie was being made, Root could not appear, as she was already working on another Jane Austen movie, Screen Two: Persuasion The result is the piece Colonel Brandon requests Marianne to play on the pianoforte and the end title music.
Colonel Brandon is sixteen years older than Marianne Dashwood in the novel. In reality, Alan Rickman was twenty-nine years older than Kate Winslet. Although they portray love interests on-screen, Winslet and Wise dated only briefly in reality before Wise took to Winslet's on-screen sister, Dame Emma Thompson.
Thompson and Wise were together for eight years before getting married. Together, they have one adopted son and one biological daughter. Interestingly, Richard Lumsden , who portrayed Thompson's on-screen love interest's brother Robert Ferrars, is her actual brother-in-law. Lumsden is married to Thompson's younger sister, Sophie Thompson , who also was featured in two movie adaptations of Jane Austen 's books, Screen Two: Persuasion and Emma In the former, Sophie Thompson played the younger sister of the story's main character, Anne Elliot, which was played by Amanda Root , who ironically was sought for the role of Marianne in this movie.
Root, however, could not accept the role due to her obligations to film Screen Two: Persuasion In a nutshell, Root landed a role in an Austen adaptation and was coincidentally asked to star in another one. When she could not appear, another actress, who dated the future husband of her on-screen sister's sister, was given the role, and her on-screen sister's actual husband portrayed the on-screen eventual brother-in-law of his actual sister-in-law in the same movie in which she could not star.
This movie was effectively bankrolled following the surprise success of Little Women Ten years later, however, Lee directed and won a directing Oscar for Brokeback Mountain , which was about two men who meet while sheep herding. Alan Rickman loved playing with all of the dogs that belonged to Sir John Middleton in this movie. Dame Emma Thompson , who also appeared in that movie, wrote the parts of Mr. Palmer for them. Marianne Kate Winslet is, at some point, carried by almost all of the leading men in this movie.
Palmer Hugh Laurie. Wimbledon was taking place during filming. Alan Rickman and Kate Winslet watched matches together in his trailer. Shot over a period of sixty-five days. Richard Lumsden , who played Dame Emma Thompson 's on-screen eventual brother-in-law Robert Ferras, married Thompson's real-life sister Sophie shortly after this movie was released.
Marianne Dashwood's wedding dress was trimmed with straw. This movie received an award from a Christian organization for incorporating a character, Edward Ferrars, who preferred becoming a clergyman rather then choosing a military or legal career. In at least one of the trailers for this movie, the background music is actually from the soundtrack to Little Women This is a common practice when advertising a movie that is still in post-production for which the musical score has probably not been finalized.
For instance, the trailer for Regarding Henry used the score from Terms of Endearment Sir Kenneth Branagh was attached to this movie at one time. Included amongst the American Film Institute's list of the four hundred movies nominated for the Top Greatest American Movies. While Elinor is dancing with Robert, he asks about her living situation in a cottage and states that if he had any money to spare, he would build one himself. This foreshadows the immediately following appearance of Willoughby who once said the exact same thing to the Dashwoods.
In the novel, Brandon challenged Willoughby to a duel which ended in neither party suffering injury. This was not depicted in this film. The same costume is also worn by an extra at the London party where Byron meets Annabella Milbanke in Byron The green and beige patterned waistcoat Hugh Laurie Mr.
Palmer wore at the London ball is the same costume worn by Benjamin Whitrow Mr. In this novel, Austen analyzes the conflict between the opposing temperaments of sense logic, propriety, and thoughtfulness, as expressed in Austen's time by neo-classicists , and sensibility emotion, passion, unthinking action, as expressed in Austen's time by romantics. In this conflict, Elinor, a reserved, practical, and thoughtful young woman who embodies the "sense" of the title, is juxtaposed to her passionate younger sister Marianne who embodies "sensibility".
Elinor may be loosely based on the author's older sister, Cassandra Austen. Elinor is described as possessing a coolness of judgement and strength of understanding which qualifies her to be her mother's frequent counsellor, and sometimes she shows more common sense than her mother, whose judgment is shown to be flawed by her exaggerated notions of romantic delicacy.
Her mother is more often preoccupied with Marianne and her problems. Although Austen writes that Elinor's feelings are just as passionate and deep as Marianne's, she knows how to govern them better, as she is more aware of the demands society makes upon women and more prepared to compromise. She is described as having a delicate complexion, regular features, and a remarkably pretty figure—although less striking than Marianne, more "correct"—which Austen uses as a good overall summary of their characters as well as their physical appearance.
She is more polite than Marianne, though her repugnance towards vulgarity and selfishness is quite equal; and thus she can appreciate the rather vulgar but good hearted Mrs. Jennings , and be civil to people Marianne would be repulsed by such as Lucy Steele.
