[…] There was also some detail added to Edward and Elinor’s romance, something I liked in the movie and also liked here. It’s so much easier to root for a couple when you know why the like each […]

I think it’s entirely possible you’d like it better as a movie. In the book, I didn’t feel like the relationship was shown in enough detail, so I appreciated that the movie filled in the gaps

I wasn’t keen on the book, but I really want to see this adaptation. I do remember not really being interested in the relationship, and now I’ve read what you said about the film making it more obvious I’m wondering if I would like it more for the film.

I can’t remember if I saw the movie before I read the book and it’s bothering me because I’m curious whether seeing the movie first influences how much I like it compared to the book. I can certainly see myself picking up the book based on how much I liked the movie. It was very well done!

She was awesome! She and Edward were by far my favorite part of the movie

I haven’t read her screenplay but my library has a copy which I’ll probably get. I think I like Emma Thompson and would have learning more about her

I love this film, and I love it more than the book too. Emma Thompson (Elinor) is just awesome, I think she won an oscar for the screenplay.

I love this movie too, although I recently saw the 2008 mini-series so I’m a little divided now about who plays the best Edward. But Hugh Grant’s version of Edward is so funny and charming in his awkwardness. Have you read Emma Thompson’s screenplay for the movie? She has cute little diary notes about Hugh and missing him after he finished filming his scenes.
