Negative Positive
Title: the good definetly outweighs the questionable
Review: Okay, so ELinor was supposed to be 19 and Brandon only 35. Emma Thompson fudged with the ages a little. So what? If I was Emma Thompson and over 19 and writing this screenplay I would do so myself. There were a couple of times, I grant you, that I did wish that Elinor was being played by a younger actress. But only a couple of times and I have watched this movie more times than I care to report. And Alan Rickman was over 35 but he's ALAN RICKMAN and he provided a beautiful portrayl of Colonel Brandon. As for Ms. Thompson's alterations and additions they were for the most part not only neccessary for a screen adaptation but delightful and on reading the book I missed the scene about the atlas. Ms. Thompson's writing is quite charming and a delightful companion to the book.
Is the review positive or negative?
