Emma Thompson got knighted by the UK Queen, as Dame Emma Thompson, in part based on this film. 

Hang Lee [Ang Lee]: A quiet man of wit and full of heart,  with his Pushy Hands working on small budget films. A young director of talent in Jane Austen's humorous, satire/senicle mixed up with romance,  and warm-hearted language. Ang Lee's work revolves around family, the significance of food, and the experience of sharing meals at tables; it is magnificent, gorgeous, heartwrenching, and perfectly adapted, yet words fail to capture the greatness of Ang Lee.

Ang Lee quietly observed every beautiful actress! He is quietly in control!

Ang Lee is magic. Jane Austen was a genius. Thompson is a wordsmith. The best cast of any movie ever.

 The film "Sense and Sensibility," written by Emma and directed by Ang Lee, stands as an absolute masterpiece of filmmaking.

"Colonel Brandon is the man of all our dreams, actually." - Emma Thompson ?

Still love how she, in contrast describes Willoughby as "...The guy who broke your heart when you were fifteen..." and then she married the actor playing him.

 Greg Wise I think he was the one who mended her broken heart from Kenneth Branagh.

 @Momabear1  I think you are right. It is hard to be a gentleman. I mean, Edward Ferrars and John Willoughby came close to being the perfect gentlemen, but they fell short. I would give Edward Ferrars a pass, because he made some mistakes in his younger years; otherwise, he has the qualities of a gentleman. So, in today's world, a young boy can be taught how to be a gentleman, and he may become one.
The scene near the end when Emma Thompson as Elinor realizes Edward (Hugh Grant)is not actually married, when she breaks down into hysterical sobs of happiness, that is one of the best acting scenes of all time, and great writing by Emma Thompson. It is laugh-out-loud funny at the same time. So memorable.

 

I am so impressed that Emma Thompson wrote the script for this version of Sense & Sensibility. I only wish she and Ang Lee would collaborate again on other Jane Austen works. Northanger Abbey and Persuasion have never been done as they should. I know these two enormously talented people could make those stories sing as they should.
Indeed. I watched this movie during my military service in Taiwan. It was played in the base as a part of the “family day” event, and I sat in between my guard shifts that day. When Elinor burst into tears, so did I in my full uniform. Such a powerful moment.
I especially love the way the other three females look at each other and, as one, quietly make their exit. It's so real, and it's also so funny.
 
Like ordinary life events, you exit the event and go your way, quietly as life goes on, in solitude. 
 
I love the character arcs: Elinor begins to release painful sensibility in that moment. She carries the pain quietly inside of Edward's secret engagement, as much as it kills her to do so.
 
Marianne develops sense when she realizes that a real man of quiet dignity, gentleness, kindness, and patience like the ever-faithful Colonel Brandon, who loves her more than life itself, is a far better choice of husband than the gorgeous love-em-and-leave-em fortune hunter John Willoughby.
 
She even admits as much to Elinor later that she wonders if the demands of his pocketbook would have become far greater than the demands of his heart over time had he married her.
 
Marianne grows up A LOT and recognizes quality, and Elinor learns to unburden her soul of her true feelings and learns she doesn't always have to be so dignified a hundred percent of the time.
