Oh I adore that adaptation! It's so perfect and wonderful, but it does seem to focus more heavily on the Marianne/Willoughby side of things even then. But I suppose even in the book that's how it's supposed to be, though Elinor is by and large the perspective character. Elinor and Edward's relationship is so internalised and downplayed, whereas Marianne's is so out there. But Emma Thompson and Hugh Grant make the perfect Elinor and Edward - it may well be the only Hugh Grant film I can say I actually really like.

Haha, he usually enjoys it more than he is at the moment. He's reading 'Strange Story' by Bulwer-Lytton, and it's like 8 volumes and 89 chapters and seems to largely be monologuing on the existence of the soul. He's nearly finished, but he's spent the whole of the last week grumpy about it! Jane Eyre made him grumpy too, but at least that was comparitively short!
