🤣🤣🤣 ❤️ THIS

Yessss

So true ❤

Omg yes!!!!!

He’s so gorgeous ❤ poor Alan 😢

Lily+Severus for ever❤🤗🥹😭

Typical Pisces, brooding, romantic and in love.

indeed!

IF Colonel Brandon lived in the 2020s he’d be an incel too, because he isn’t the minimum 6 foot & $100,000 salary that Gen Z women demand. Also Alan Rickman was ~50 years old. Once again in today’s world, he would be internet-shamed & doxxed for dating a 20 year old girl. (As happens every day with Mr. Leonardo Dicaprio.)

@Mrs.847 Do you mean Pisces like Chopin and George Harrison; or do mean Pisces like Wyatt Earp or George Washington? Perhaps Einstein or Ralph Nader. There is no typical Pisces….

Your comment is how I found out he was dead.....😢

So very much.

I miss his galant voice and sweet nature . I’ve seen a few movies with him , to play an antagonist. Seeing him here , is so different, but I like it. I was shocked when he passed away, and saddened.

I was just about to write this--I miss him so much. It always shocks me terribly when I remember that he is gone.

At a well known place in my city, there was a display of actors and actresses outfits worn in a movie of theirs. I got to see the military uniform that Alan Rickman wore in Sense and Sensibility. Won't ever forget seeing that as well as him in that movie. What a fabulous actor he was! And missed.❤

😂😂 yessss!!!!👍😀

Alas, but sadly we must live in the world of mortals.

They all do, until they get their wicked way

If every man acted as gentlemanly as Colonel Brandon men incels wouldn't complain that women hate them

Yes, BUT, a man may look at a woman as Colonel Brandon did…. and then the same for another and another, hence the divorce rate.

❤️

❤miss you AR..❤

He definitely did. ❤

I loved him

He took my heart with him. 💔💋

When he reads to Marianne, I swoon.

💯

So true!

Best part is he wanted absolutely nothing in return. He’d lost hope that she’d ever reciprocate, and had no sexual interest whatsoever in her sister. He just wanted to help. Where oh where are men today who are like that????

​@@12classics39 they're hiding somewhere, we just gosta find then😭

❤️‍🔥

He makes that movie.

His role was the only reason to watch that movie.

And for me it's Hanz in Die Hard❤

AR with black hair being a sarcastic baddie - be still my ❤

Great metaphor!!!! ❤

Emma received an Oscar for writing the screenplay. The man who played Willoughby is her real life husband.

​@@marquitamarina1486Really? I didn't know he was her husband.

​@@destinychild4659They met on the set of this film.

I didn’t realize Emma wrote the script. So they were brought back together in Love Actually.

I was waiting for someone to say this!

So sadly missed.

Him and Hugh Grant for me.

Me too. Alan Rickman is my favorite Austen dramatization leading man. ❤️❤️

​@@manipoolI literally screamed "what the fuck!" when I saw Hugh Grant. It was like a buy one get one free

Me too. I miss him a lot. I know. I never knew him or met him or talked to him. But I really admired him so much. Not just as an actor but as a good human being.

🕯🌟🌷 I share your feelings. Something about this man touches ones heart, in an unexplainable way.

​@@electrictroy2010 Alan Rickman was 6'1". Colonel Brandon had $2000 a year, equal to $53,000 today. You are not counting his estate. He was a landowner, which made him stable.

you made me cry 😭

@@LM48888 💜

I met mine, we were together for almost fifteen years. Our story ended with his passing. ❤

@@ITSMEndez1970 you were blessed 🌹

I was thinking the same thing just now watching this. After she used the knife and saw how well it cut, I wanted her to thank him.

Yes, me too. But I think it’s a metaphor for her stubbornness and inability to see what was right in front of her. Or at least, choosing not to.

@AudreyII- BRITISH people of the upper class 1800s didn’t say “thank you” and other exuberances. You’re expecting them to act like the colonials in America but that’s not happening. Also: IF Colonel Brandon lived in the 2020s he’d be an incel, because he isn’t the minimum 6 foot & $100,000 salary that Gen Z women demand. Also Alan Rickman was ~50 years old. Once again in today’s world, he would be internet-shamed & doxxed for dating a 20 year old girl. (As happens every day with Mr. Leonardo Dicaprio.)

⁠@@electrictroy2010 First of all, there are 25 instances of the BRITISH characters saying “thank you” in this script. And 7 instances of it in Jane Austen’s novel. And she was British. Second of all, this movie is based on that novel which is rich with metaphor. Even the title is a metaphor. Which was the point of my comment, to infer that her cold response is merely a metaphor for where she has placed him in their relationship. Aka, he could help her and show her love if only she allowed herself to let him. Third, Colonel Brandon is 35 in the novel and Marianne is 19 by the time they marry. Yes it’s an age gap but you’re not supposed to take the literal age of Alan Rickman as the age of his character. They are acting and he is acting as a 35 year old. Your points about “today’s world” (although I don’t disagree they are problematic in some instances) might be better served on a different thread.

@@electrictroy2010Goodness - what a diatribe. Never heard of “exuberances.”

More like there are so many Sense and Sensibility actors in Harry Potter. This movie came first. 😂

@@maryd1495Fair point. It did, in every way. And it’s a much better movie and adaptation as well. But it’s kind of funny to imagine this scene as a staff meeting at Hogwarts.

And Kate was offered a role in HP but the offer went through her agent who turned it down without consulting her! (I would’ve fired that agent so fast)

@@sailorarwen6101 what in the hell! I was wondering why she is one of the few iconic british actors not in the series. what was the role?

@@frankinsaneandmyrrh1202 Helena Ravenclaw

💞

I watch this regularly. I helps me relax and go to sleep. Alan Rickman was dreamy.

Leonardo DiCaprio

That's when one realizes that they might be bisexual

@@watermelonlover745 😂🥲😭

Or Emma Thompson...

His hair-do and wardrobe helped too. He was so attractive in this movie.

I know. "Always" makes me stop in my tracks.

Ditto❣️😉

💯💯

Col. Brandon is supposed to have been of marriageable age 20 years prior to the setting of the movie, so very late 30s at the earliest, but more likely early 40s.

Yeah you can tell

Absolutely. To be honest, I found the novel so depressing because of Marianne's ending. He seemed like a decent person, but also an utter bore. I love the way Rickman's performance turns him into a quiet hero.

Ew

That would be more like a dad or uncle to her.

😬

Since life expectancy was shorter back then, teens were considered marriage age and 30s were considered middle aged.

That age gap was considered normal back then. So it is accurate for the time period.

She's a child - too young to be a romantic heroine. I like to think that her time would have come, and with two elder sisters respectably married, she would have her pick of suitors. If she wished to marry, that is!

@@Celeste-wx8ce I think she would have preferred to go off to explore the world.

The whole point of the movie is that Elinor HAS much spirit, but keeps it quiet it because she is introvert and behaves according to society rules.

Margaret’s story would make a great sequel. Brandon would pay for an expensive education and travel - He was very fun with her, he’d salute her when he saw her.

@@sallyhallada There is no reason to make sequel, because Margaret is just a person, but there is no story to tell. Yet.

You should hear her song! It’s called What if

I get what you did there. 😊 I adore that movie.🎶 "The sun ain't gonna shine anymore." 🎵

YES! No one ever mentions that movie!

Reading it again right now!

This and Truly, Madly, Deeply

Me too! But she was always for the awkward Mr Ferrars

So's mine, ROFL!

Practice 40 hours a day.

Certainly in the novel there is a great mutual respect & liking between him & Eleanor, as with Col. Fitzwilliam in ‘Pride & Prejudice with Elizabeth.Though the reader may think there’s potential, Austen’s plan is for their intended partner to be a less likely choice (and the woman undergo a learning process to realise this). (Note Brandon’s falling quickly for Marianne is partly because she reminds him of a long lost love)

I actually really appreciate how Austen builds a completely platonic male-female relationship between Brandon and Elinor. No underlying sexual tension, just mutual respect and support. An extreme rarity in literature and cinema alike.

I agree - I think Elinor and Brandon would have been good together. But then, I’ve always thought Edward Ferrars was a bit of a drip.

@@GradKat I always thought intelligent Brandon wouldnt actually be interested in flighty Marianne for any but the basest reasons, leaving him in a position like Mr. Bennett and the silly Mrs. Bennet.

@@jenniferpearce1052 i respectfully disagree; the scene where Brandon reads poetry to Marianne is impactful because she has already indicated that her ideal man would share her appreciation of poetry. Also his classic line to Margaret about the East Indies, “the air is full of spices,” reveals his romantic nature akin to Marianne’s.

In the books, he was supposed to be 36 or 37

It was socially acceptable for gentlemen of rank to marry late because they were usually established more in their careers or inherited their estate by then, and therefore could afford to have a wife and children. Women married much younger because they were expected to have several children, plus their fathers wanted them off their hands financially and well married to a man of means. This was a very different time. A man in his 40s would marry a woman in her late teens or early 20 s and that was considered a suitable match.

Even Severus Snape is supposed to be 38 in HP while Alan Rickman was well in his 50s at the time.

Alan Rickman is ageless in all his work.

Why is that not his prime? My father was 50 when I was born 😊

She's nice, and she made a beautiful movies. I Iike her but she looks like her age and not twenty and was way too old. It Always bother me how old she looks beside Kate Winslet and Hugh Grant and she should had cast someone else to play elinor.
