Don't forget Emma Thompson. She was also the screen writer for this movie and won an Oscar for the screenplay adaptation for sense and sensibility. Lee may have done a good job shooting the movie but a good screenplay is the key to success.
The worst casting ever. Elinor’s character is supposed to be in her early 20’s, though somewhat discerning but still lacks the maturity in judgement of someone older and more experienced. Emma Thompson looks and acts like she should be Elinor’s mom. Great actress, but absolutely the wrong role for her.
