I love this movie. And the book. It's my favourite Austen's work, way better that Pride & Prejudice (which - of course - is also very good). As a matter of fact, I love everything that Jane Austen created...
This is the famous William Shakespeare's sonnet 116 and it's my favourite poem of all time. I know it by heart in english and polish, although I prefer the orginal version.
Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments. Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove: O no! it is an ever-fixed mark That looks on tempests and is never shaken; It is the star to every wandering bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks Within his bending sickle's compass come: Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom. If this be error and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
Nie ma miejsca we wspólnej dwojga serc przestrzeni Dla barier, przeszkód. Miłość to nie miłość, jeśli, Zmienny świat naśladując, sama się odmieni Lub zgodzi się nie istnieć, gdy ktoś ją przekreśli. O, nie: to znak, wzniesiony wiecznie nad bałwany, Bez drżenia w twarz patrzący sztormom i cyklonom — Gwiazda zbłąkanych łodzi, nieoszacowanej Wartości, choćby pułap jej zmierzył astronom. Miłość to nie igraszka Czasu: niech kwitnące Róże wdzięków podcina sierpem zdrajca blady — Miłości nie odmienią chwile, dni, miesiące: Ona trwa — i trwać będzie po sam skraj zagłady. Jeśli się mylę, wszystko inne też mnie łudzi: Że piszę to; że kochał choć raz któryś z ludzi. (przekład S. Barańczaka)

I agree - this is one of my favourite of Shakespeare's sonnets, if not my favourite (I haven't read all of them, so I cannot know). I loved the BBC Sense and Sensibility production - I think it is one of those films that one can watch over and over again, and never get bored. I cannot count the number of times I have watched it; all I can say is that I knew the script and music off by heart at one point! Lovely work .
Ah, I was mistaken; it is the 1995 version I have seen (and love and know by heart), and I have not yet seen the BBC version . Would you recommend the BBC version? It it as wonderful as 1995?
I don't think I have seen the 1995 version... Ooh, this is exciting - a new Austen to watch! I do love a good period film
