[edit] "Took liberties"

S&S not being my preferred Austen novel, I'm having to plug through it to find for myself the differences with Thompson's screenplay. It would be helpful to the users if those who evaluate the script as taking liberties in order to please modern audiences were to identify what these were. For example, two differences I've noticed some one-third of the way through the novel are that Thompson "killed off" Sir John's wife, eliminating their children as well, and that the same fate met other minor characters, such as Lucy's sister. However, these don't seem changes calculated so much for modern audiences as they seem to be typical book-to-film decisions to streamline the story. So as yet, I've seen nothing that goes to modern tastes, per se; in fact, I thought it interesting that the book shows Edward spending a week at the cottage (which I'd not have expected to be acceptable for the day), mentions Charlotte's pregnancy, and shows Mrs. J alleging that Miss W___ is Brandon's "natural" (read: illegitimate) daughter. These all seem to be changes making the story seem more old-fashioned rather than less. I only really have noticed the film's use of phrasing such as "then the relationship will be over" (my emphasis) as the only notable concessions to modern ideas so far. Maybe the fact that the screenplay suggests that Marianne comes to love the Colonel before the marriage rather than only after? Lawikitejana 02:15, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Film Adaptation

There is ONLY one film adaptation of Sense and Sensibility. The others are television series. Please GET RID of "1995" in the article name, please. --PJ Pete

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Sense and sensibility.jpg

Image:Sense and sensibility.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
