Amazon.com essential video
Emma Thompson scores a double bull's-eye with this marvelous adaptation of Jane Austen's novel. Not only does Thompson turn in a strong (and gently humorous) performance as one of the Dashwood sisters--the one with "sense"--she also wrote the witty, wise screenplay. Austen's tale of 19th-century manners and morals provides a large cast with a feast of possibilities, notably Kate Winslet, in her pre-Titanic flowering, as Thompson's deeply romantic sister. Winslet attracts the wooing of shy Alan Rickman (a nice change of pace from his bad-guy roles) and dashing Greg Wise, while Thompson must endure an incredibly roundabout courtship with Hugh Grant, here in fine and funny form. All of this is doled out with the usual eye-filling English countryside and handsome costumes, yet the film always seems to be about the careful interior lives of its characters. The director, an inspired choice, is Taiwan-born Ang Lee, who brings the same exquisite taste and discreet touch he displayed in his previous Asian films (such as Eat Drink Man Woman). Thompson's script won an Oscar, and 1995 was a fine year for Jane Austen all around: Persuasion was made into an excellent picture, and Emma became the spritzy high school comedy Clueless. --Robert Horton

5 out of 5 stars Best Movie Ever   January 6, 2009
This is my favorite movie. I have watched it several times and I always feel like I have learned something new about the characters or story each time. This movie is an emotional rollercoaster.


5 out of 5 stars educational standpoint   December 24, 2008
As a high-school teacher for English foundations, I try my best to expose my students to the literature their peers in regular English classes receive. I must utilize movies as a visual aide supplement to help them connect with the characters, setting, dialogue... I strongly recommend using this dvd to support your curriculum to teach on all levels of student learning (auditory, kinesthetic, visual).


5 out of 5 stars excellent purchase   December 12, 2008

3 out of 5 stars Very good, but not perfect.......   December 10, 2008
The adaptation of this movie is very good but not perfect. The characters portrayed their roles very well, but the eldest Ms. Dashwood in the movie looked a little bit older in her role. Overall, the movie was alright.


5 out of 5 stars So great I almost cried   December 10, 2008
I love Jane Austen and I don't often see a movie who does credit to her books but this movie was great. The actors acted well, The script was good. Worthy of the acadamy award it won. The best movie I've seen in a long time. I had tears in my eyes. And I got mocked for it. But it's okay because i loved this movie.
