cutest part of the movie <3

Movie 33 of the 365 Film Challenge: From Prada to Nada (2011) - adaptation of Sense and Sensibility
Aside from Camilla Belle’s horribly orange fake tan, the shaky camera work and the failure to modernize Elinor/Nora’s ending, I enjoyed this! Alexa Vega was adorable and there were quite a few genuinely funny and relevant moments. It’s no Clueless or 10 Things I Hate About You or Easy A, but still cute fluff!

It’s cute and you guys should watch it. But yeah, why change the line from ‘always will be yours’ to ‘always has been yours’? Like maybe the audience doesn’t get it that Edward always did care for her all along? But like, he puts a key to a house AND a ring on it, I think we get it.

Have you,” Elinor continued after a short silence, “ever seen Mr. Willoughby since you left him at Barton?”
“Yes,” Colonel Brandon replied gravely, “once I have. One meeting was unavoidable.”
Elinor, startled by his manner, looked at him anxiously, saying—
“What? have you met him to—”
“I could meet him no other way. Eliza had confessed to me, though most reluctantly, the name of her lover; and when he returned to town, which was within a fortnight, we met by appointment, he to defend, I to punish his conduct. We returned unwounded, and the meeting, therefore, never got abroad.

Jane Austen - Sense and Sensibility, Chapter 31.

It took me severalreadings of this book before it sank in to me what Brandon is saying here. He actually fought a duel with Willoughby over Marianne. I couldn’t believe how naive I’d been - partly because of all the euphemism Brandon employs, but also because I’ve never seen it dealt with in any of the film adaptations. I wonder why that is. Seems like a relevant detail, says something very definitively about Brandon’s character - who always seemed a bit on the mild side to me.
