First of all, I want to tell you that I find your blog very interesting.I like it very much.
I know it's maybe too typical, but my two favourite moments are :
-150:02 Brandon "What can I do"
-155:30 Brandon reading poetry at Barton Cottage. For me, it's the scene when I think: "I wish I were Marianne!" Mr.Rickman plays a misterious and sexy Colonel that I don't find in the book character (that's my opinion), but I love this "change" hehe.
