由著名華人導演李安執導的《理智與情感 Sense and Sensibility》一片，將簡奧斯汀描寫十八世紀英國女性愛情與婚姻的同名名著搬上銀幕。導演通過鏡頭給我們展示了兩對終成眷屬的情侶，更是將當時婦女們的日常生活狀況、聚餐、舞會和社交等各種場合完美復原，帶我們回到那個充滿鋼琴曲、詩歌和愛情，同時婚姻又被金錢左右，顯得格外現實的年代。
　　
這部電影以其緊湊、跌宕起伏的劇情、凄美悠揚的電影配樂、演員們的出色表演，獲得了第六十八屆奧斯卡六項提名，雖然最終只拿到最佳改編劇本獎，但這是我最喜歡的名著改編電影之一。由英國作曲家Patrick Doyle執筆的原聲配樂更是本片的一個亮點，古典悠揚的音樂，配合李安導演獨特的鏡頭視角，精確美妙地傳達了劇中每個人物的感情。
Patrick Doyle began his career in film music writing scores for Kenneth Branagh's films -- but he didn't receive his first Oscar nomination until he wrote this one for Branagh's then-wife, Emma Thompson (whose magic touch with the Academy landed her almost annual nominations in the 1990s). Since then, Doyle seems to have joined the small group of score writers who get voted in year after year by the old boys' club that is the Academy's musical wing. However, this is not Doyle's best work -- most of it simply recycles melodic phrases from his previous stuff. Nonetheless, Sense and Sensibility has a pleasant romanticism in its orchestrations, and the vocal solos by renowned soprano Jane Eaglen are quite good.
