Favorite Cinema Moments: Part 51
Sense and Sensibility.
My favorite Alan Rickman role (though close behind are Die Hard, Robin Hood, and Galaxy Quest;). This is the scene where he's rescued Marianne Dashwood out of the rain after being lost and brings her back. Her family takes her away and he is left as an unsung hero. When Marianne finally says thank you to him after she has recovered...it feels very sweet and satisfying. He has cared and done so much for her, and been so generous to everyone and yet has had some of the hardest burdens and been walked over the whole time. This shot, to me, represents all of that and is very nicely done; it zooms in with the others running towards him and when they run away so does the camera, zooming out again. You "feel" it, he is alone, left alone again, no thank you's.
