"Sense And Sensibility (1995)"

Sensibility?Listen.

Okay.

I think anyone who knows me well would know how much I love this movie.

I love it.

I think it's one of my getting to know me kind of movies.

I just have so much adoration for the crafts behind it.

I, I have a core memory of watching it on TV and staying up late to watch it as a teenager.

And I enjoyed it, but it wasn't until I reached, I think, my early 30s that it started to resonate with me on a deeper level.

And then just quickly kind of took off and became an all-time favorite of mine the more I kept watching it.

So I just love the sisterhood in this story.

I love how central it is to the narrative and to the characters.

It's...

I think that's what's so comforting and soothing about it, and it invites me to keep going back to it.

I'm just drawn to this world of women navigating loss and romance and learning their different love languages and, um, leaning on each other for support.

And it's a very hopeful film in, in the midst of this kind of, um, economic, uh, and social disparity, and you're, you're really rooting for these characters to thrive.

And, um, I think it's one of the greatest literary adaptations ever made.

I think Emma Thompson's screenplay and, um, Ang Lee's direction are j- just this dream pairing because they're both so observational, and they pick up on all of the intricacies from the gestures and the conversations.

I think Emma Thompson's sensibilities are just all over the dialogue.

It's so witty and funny and intelligent and very moving and just...

And also just the way that the, the characters' inner conflicts are visualized in a very engaging, absorbing kind of way, and that is down to Ang Lee's direction, too.

He's just...

I think he complements the writing really well because there's just an intentionality to every word and every movement, and it's so delicate and poetic and I just think...

I mean, just the amount of magic that happens to just with small gestures is incredible.
