Admin	Men and Women & Romance. Posted : 30 Apr, 2011 05:30 PM It's been on my heart to ask, so I'll go ahead... Do men view romance differently than women? As in they don't like it at all? I'll be more specific, romance to women means: Being with someone who loves and cares for them, and usually looks out for them, and wants to sort of be attentive and kind to them, you know, someone who just sort of loves the person you are and your relationship with God, and wants to feel that way towards her husband. Okay, now let's go over here to the opposite side of the track, I'm not a man, never going to think like a guy, so I'm going on testimony. Men think: Practically, typically about their jobs and physical comfort from the woman, as a man wants a wife, I've heard a few of them say it's primarily for practicality, cooking and to have someone to be there for them -physically- and have children with, and sort of look after everything. Okay, what I'm asking is, do men value romance at all, like women do? Or do you think it's pointless, maybe a little impractical or downright gross? A man told me once that romance and love as women see it was like pornography is for men, mostly fantasy and based off of untrue conclusions on how men think. I hope I haven't offended anyone, this is a rather deep topic, I guess. I really just wanted to know. Rachel Post Reply

View Profile History	Men and Women & Romance. Posted : 30 Apr, 2011 07:14 PM If you are referring to the version of Sense and Sensibility by Emma Thompson (the one with Kate Winslet and Hugh Grant), it actually is not very close to the book at all. There are very few scenes in the movie that are in the book. But, every scene has the feel and character of the book. If you listen to the commentaries on the DVD, Emma Thompson discusses that very topic. There are a lot of minor characters that are missing, events that are combined, or take place somewhere else. But, it was so well done that it �feels� just like the book, even though it isn�t. That was the first time I saw Hugh Laurie. He was awesome as Mr. Palmer. Post Reply

View Profile History	Men and Women & Romance. Posted : 30 Apr, 2011 07:30 PM You were probably confused by the script, it won an academy award. The two most accurate (that I have seen) are A&E�s Pride and Prejudice and the 1983 miniseries of Mansfield Park. Post Reply
View Profile History	Men and Women & Romance. Posted : 30 Apr, 2011 07:35 PM I own the A&E's Pride and Prejudice, I have never seen the miniseries for Mansfield Park, is it good? I don't even believe I've read the book. Post Reply
View Profile History	Men and Women & Romance. Posted : 30 Apr, 2011 07:39 PM The version I am speaking of is accurate, but poorly done. The main characters are good, but there is plenty of bad acting, poor lighting, bad sound, bad editing. Very low budget. Not to mention six hours. But, it�s almost word for word from the book. I haven�t seen any other versions. Post Reply

bcpianogal View Profile History	Men and Women & Romance. Posted : 30 Apr, 2011 07:40 PM I love all the A&E Jane Austen movies. Pride and Prejudice is my favorite, though. (I don't like the new Keira Knightly version very much for some reason.) I think the Emma Thompson version of Sense and Sensibility is great, even if it isn't like the book. Hugh Laurie was absolutely perfect as Mr. Palmer. There is another version that is really good (and more like the book). I can't remember if it's A&E, BBC, or something else...I just know that it was LONG! And good. Post Reply
