Colonel Brandon's Invitation | Sense and Sensibility | Love Love

[@monicaaboites5053]

I don't care what they say.. Alan Rickman was a handsome man.

[@LiaBian]

Totally gorgeous!!!

[@sofianemov9469]

Totally agree!

[@palasthyemma]

Who dares to say otherwise?!

[@truffaut650truffaut6]

He was everything what I like😇

[@lisamader5270]

A beautiful man.

[@OceanbornAngel]

How could you not fall in love with this guy at first sight?

[@EmilyGloeggler7984]

Willoughby is definitely a cutie but he ruined his chance with his true love Marianne.

[@PatricaMarden]

Yesterday i went into the church where wedding was filmed i lit a candle for him ❤

[@IAmThe_RA]

Where is it?

[@PatricaMarden]

The church from Sense and Sensibility is St Mary's Berry Pomaroy Dartmoor Devon

[@cherylkavanagh3387]

I love Alan Rickman in this role.

[@ket2i]

😍😍😍 О и мне тоже. 😍😍😍

[@cynthiaennis3107]

He was my first choice to date in this movie! A great empathic, charming & loving character! We could only love him!

[@catezaida8081]

He was such a great actor. I will miss him always.

[@vickilindberg6336]

Alan Rickman taught us that "handsom" means more than just physical appearance. He was Hot!

[@lorrainestarks6628]

He was always gorgeous to me!!!

[@stacyparenteau4390]

He is sooo handsome-and I don't care how many people say otherwise.

[@DavidJohnsonFromSeattle]

He's such a ball of sadness and misery. Makes me want to cry

[@tzeven1]

Alan’s voice! ❤

[@yellow_daffodil5689]

She's not that interested in the picnic until he mentions Willoughby

[@falconeshield]

She was a 17 year old with an infatuation. The point of the story is to move on from childhood and see not everyone you see is the same as when you first perceive them.

[@Marguerite-wu3nw]

Rightfully, after all, Willoughby was a lot of fun

[@zilkill09]

He is literally Prince Charming.

[@EmilyGloeggler7984]

Who? There are no Prince Charmings in either man.

[@Girl-rj3qe]

Do not forget, Sense and Sensibility is about mainly Elinor and Marianne, their suitors are just supporting characters. I hate it when Marianne gets all the hate just because she fell in love with the wrong man at first.

[@breejean7705]

Also when people disgrace her character saying she's cruel or self-absorbed because she is uninterested in the colonel for most of the film. She was a 17 year old girl in love. Of course that's all she thought about and cared about, lol.

[@Girl-rj3qe]

@breejean7705 She's 17 and she also has limited access to knowledge. We as a modern audience should understand her more. I just wonder if any of the haters have a 35 year old courting them when they were 17 or courting their 17 year old daughter, would they bash their 17 year old selves or 17 year old daughters for not liking a 35 year old back?

[@Girl-rj3qe]

@@raraavis7782 yeah, you have a point. But er have to be consider that Wentworth was an honorable man (although beneath Anne in social status when she was younger) while Willoughby wasn’t.

[@raraavis7782]

@@Girl-rj3qe True. But there was no reason to assume that, for the longest time. Everyone, including her mother and sister, thought Willoughby had honorable intentions. Which, indeed, he had, as is revealed at the end of the novel. He had planned to propose to Marianne. It's just that his past affair caught up with him, his aunt(?) angrily disowned him and he was faced with a life of very limited means (meaning, he couldn't have married Marianne anyway), unless he married for money. Which is why he dropped Marianne and married Miss Whatshername with 50.000 pounds. Of course one could argue, that Willoughby was a dishonorable man, simply because he had had an affair, that didn't result in marriage. But he didn't have ill intentions towards Marianne, he really intended to make her his wife.

[@LookAtWow]

I was Marianne's age once and I went through the same thing. I thought things would never go right but eventually I matured a bit and learned to look past how someone looks and acts to realize a person with true character is best

[@jarrodbarkley9061]

Poor lovely Colonel, she had no interest until he mentioned Willoughby, that scoundrel!!

[@EmilyGloeggler7984]

To be honest, both Willoughby and Brandon are scoundrels.

[@salviaofficinalis02]

This is the best film in the world & Kate Winslet's hair!

[@freyasslain2203]

Brandon was a man of goodness and great wisdom . He deserved better than the self absorbed Marianne .

[@Girl-rj3qe]

Marianne is not self absorbed. She’s a young naive woman. Sense and Sensibility is partly about her growth and her experiences. Why hate women for their feelings? Brandon is good and wise because he’s older. I’m sure he made mistakes when he was younger too

[@baoyenaj5186]

Marianne was only 16 at the time, Brandon was a 35 year old man with a lot more life experience. The book shows her coming of age.

[@falconeshield]

​@baoyenaj5186 35 was 48 in his time

[@unaflux2834]

😊 sólo de oir esa voz y ya lo amo ❤ Porqué no hay un caballero así para mí 😢

[@salviaofficinalis02]

Marianne's basking for piña coladas and freedom, her mind being way ahead of her time, she dreams of boarding a plane and landing in Bora Bora eating sticky rice with mango. Meanwhile Elinor is stuck, grounded to reality, empathetic, thinking of what can be done.

[@bethfiori4708]

That's why it's called "Sense and Sensibility," -- reason and passion, groundedness and fancy, coolness and emotion, Spock and McCoy.

[@themermaidstale5008]

@@bethfiori4708 Control rather than coolness. Marianne mistakes Eleanor’s control for lack of depth of feeling, while she herself runs rampant with emotion and impulsive behavior, thinking that is the only way to live life. Is Marianne really English? The English seem to pride themselves on being in control of their emotions, particularly in public. Basically everyone else around her behaves the opposite of her.

[@narnia1233]

I tend to think this concept is timeless. A universal truth, as it were. Sense and Sensibility-these concepts are timeless. They’re not ahead of their time nor behind. It’s always existed. Rational thought and planning-and the opposite with throwing caution to the wind.

[@beth12svist]

@@themermaidstale5008 Were Byron or Shelley really English? This is roughly that time, and the ideas floating around at the time are definitely reflected in it. Maryanne isn't the way she is just because that's the way she is; it's also that she's half young and inexperienced, and half under the influence of books of the time / the fashionable thought of the time. It's a thing in literary history, the way the movements keep arguing against the previous one, and often taking it too far in another direction. The passionate young Romanticism following the older, cool-headed Classicism and Enlightenment. And Austen's making the case that in real life, you actually need both, in balance.

[@713davidh42]

Good scene from a great movie!

[@Me-fo1kk]

Yep. And Marianne almost met the same fate C Brandon's first love did.

[@run4cmt]

Not quite since Willoughby had intended to propose marriage to her.

[@FandubWorld]

When Rose Dawson hooks up with Professor Snape.

[@Smile-rd5fn]

When mr rickman speaks people listen

[@EyeMixMusic]

As much as I love this film, scenes like this make the ending a real stretch. Marianne is so dismissive of Brandon he's standing in front of her inviting her to a party, and she's literally acting like he doesn't exist? To go from this level of disdain to falling in love and marrying the guy...

[@helgaioannidis9365]

Well it happened to me. When I met my husband I realised immediately he was interested in me, but he was nothing of what at the time I thought I wanted. I needed to grow up a bit and find myself and my value to see him for who he is, to value his patience and silence as strength and security of himself instead of thinking of him as desperate and shy (which he never was). My husband is 9 years older than me and when I met him I felt he was sooo old. I can understand that Marianne first only saw an old creep in him, but by getting to know him better started realising that they had far more in common than she had assumed was possible.

God, Willoughby is just the worst, shaking the hand of Colonel Brandon, who doesn't yet know that Willoughby got his teenage ward pregnant out of wedlock.

[@gabrielabarros2036]

Marianne is too fucking young for him. I'm not just talking about their appearance, but about their behaviours. She is just a little girl, so innocent.

[@gerica82]

Age is just a number

[@kelrogers8480]

@@gerica82 Not really.

[@debbiehenri345]

Colonel Brandon is said to be 16 years older than Marianne. My husband is 17 years older than me, we have been happily married for nearly 30 years. When the personalities, interests and general outlook on life all fit - you forget about the age difference.

[@kelrogers8480]

Watch the language, please? There's no need for that here. Decency costs nothing!

[@themermaidstale5008]

Many women married older, well-off, established men at that time.

Alan Rickman is dead?

[@luciadilazzaro2285]

Yeah. He died almost six yeard ago.

[@martinemeyer1075]

Yes sadly very sadly from cancer

[@EmilyGloeggler7984]

If I were Marianne, I would have kindly and respectfully refused. Ironic that some people defend Brandon and yet, like it or not, the book and this film proves he's a man with emotional baggage and he compares Marianne with his ex love Eliza. In modern times, that rarely if ever bodes well.

[@KarenEstepa]

Ugh, shut up.

[@gnostic268]

This is an adaptation and not exactly the same as the book.

[@gf4453]

In modern times, people carry emotional baggages and make comparisons too.

[@harringt100]

No one is perfect and virtually everyone over 20 or so has some emotional baggage. If your goal is to avoid emotional baggage you should probably not get too well acquainted with anyone in your life.

[@LB-gz3ke]

By the time she pays real attention to him, she too has emotional baggage. And their relationship does not progress that quickly. The end scene, where they marry is two years later. It is plenty of time for her to consider her options or maybe entertain other offers. The Dashwood sisters had no money so that would limit her prospects. She did well finding someone kind, respectful and wealthy who didn't care that she pined for another man.
