Willoughby (Greg Wise) eventually ends up snubbing Marianne for someone with more money.
Our villains are those who enforce the boundaries of class. The Dashwoods start out well-to-do but eventually fall to the status “country folk,” which the richer crowd can look down upon. From the very beginning, we are introduced to the idea of the poor and the rich. Sense and Sensibility deals with classism just like Pride and Prejudice. More Pride and Prejudice Than Pride and Prejudice While we never get to fully delve into these characters, we get just a glimpse into exactly what kind of people they are, which is enough to spur curiosity. His bluntness clues in some of the less astute of the audience at times, which is helpful for me - a less astute member of the audience. He can be a bit much, as evidenced by the Dashwoods’ discomfort around him, but he’s a great contrast to their more reserved personalities. He is violently indifferent to his own wife, played by Imelda Staunton, but he does have a soft spot, as evidenced by his willingness to stay behind and help Elinor take care of Marianne.Īnother character that I think deserves more of an analysis would be Sir John Middleton played by Robert Hardy. One of my favorite side characters has to be Mr.
Nobody overshadows anyone else, and each has their shining moment. The cast meshed together quite well for this film, which is good considering the intimacy which Sense and Sensibility tries to convey to its audience. These men hold such a great air of dignity and yet are able to lend levity to their personalities as well as the awkward suitors of the Dashwood sisters. Moving on to their male costars, we have Edward (Hugh Grant) and Colonel Brandon (Alan Rickman). Both stars have the right mix of innocence and worldliness to lend credibility to their characters. Starting off with our main characters, Elinor ( Emma Thompson) and Marianne (Kate Winslet), the cast already shines bright. In the case of Sense and Sensibility, I get the best of both worlds: a great movie and a phenomenal cast. Was Avengers: Endgame everything I hoped it would be? No, but I sure loved all the people in it. I’ve already given you quite an earful, but here are some of the top reasons that I prefer Sense and Sensibility to Pride and Prejudice. The variety of characters alone was enough to engross one in the story. While Pride and Prejudice was sweet and enduring to a generation of young, starry-eyed teenage girls, Sense and Sensibility had some actual substance to it. Like Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility revolves around female characters and their relationships, specifically with male suitors who wish to take their hand in marriage. Unfortunately, Pride cannot even hope to outshine the candor of Sense and Sensibility. Sense and Sensibility (1995) is what Pride and Prejudice (2005) wishes it was.
