prosodicas much as I love Emma Thompson, I just had a difficult time accepting her in the role of Elinor Dashwood in 1995's Sense & Sensibility. Elinor is supposed to be in her early 20's or something like that, yes?
And yet, when that movie was filmed, Emma Thompson was in her mid-30's. That was all I could think about as I watched it. She did a brilliant job writing the screenplay, and she is a fantastic actress. But I really think Elinor would've been more convincing played by someone more age-appropriate.
(I guess it's obvious that I just watched the movie this weekend, or I wouldn't be mentioning this. I picked up the DVD for $5, and I had never seen this version before.)
I think I actually prefer the version that was shown on PBS last year.
