Sense and Sensibility review – blue-chip cast decorates Emma Thompson’s pleasurable Austen adaptation

Thirty years later, this richly enjoyable film is back with its quality lineup including Kate Winslet and Hugh Grant alongside Thompson herself Emma Thompson won a screenplay Oscar for this buoyant, vibrant, richly enjoyable adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel. Released in 1995, it was directed by Ang Lee and is a movie with the pleasures of a golden age studio picture of the kind made by William Wyler. It was the second half of Thompson’s Oscar double – she won her first one in 1993 for acting in Howards End – and she is still the only person in Academy Award history to win for acting and writing. With marvellous lightness and gaiety, Thompson found a response to Austen’s comic register, expertly marrying it up to the romance, and 1995 now looks like the golden age of Austen adaptation, having also seen the Colin Firth/Jennifer Ehle Pride and Prejudice on television and Amy Heckerling’s Emma-homage Clueless at the movies.

Victoria Beckham is trying to mend the relationship between the girls of her sons Brooklyn and Romeo

Victoria Beckham is trying to mend the relationship between the girls of her sons Brooklyn and Romeo A source close to the Beckham family told the Daily Mail that a split is brewing in the celebrity family.

Because of this, Victoria is most worried and is trying in every possible way to reconcile the girls. She even invited them to a friendly lunch, but both girls refused to come, citing being too busy. Rumor has it that, in fact, 27-year-old Nicola and 19-year-old Mia are very similar, both in appearance and in character, which prevents them from making friends. But since Romeo is determined toward his beloved and plans to tie the knot with her, Nicola and Mia will become relatives, and they will have to meet more often. Although after the wedding, Brooklyn and Nicola moved to America, where the Peltz family lives, and began to rarely come to England. They didn't even come to David Beckham's birthday, which, of course, Victoria didn't like. Earlier, news had already appeared on the Web that Mrs. Beckham was beginning to dislike her daughter-in-law. And all because, according to Victoria, she pushes Brooklyn, does not allow him to communicate with his family, and before that, she forced him to take his last name (recall that now Brooklyn and Nicola have the surname Peltz-Beckham). By the way, in Victoria's personal account, there is a commercial in which Mia Regan tries on different outfits of the Victoria Beckham brand is a branded boutique, but there are no such videos and photos with Nicola.
