Trivia:
The green velvet Spencer vest Kate Winslet (Marianne Dashwood) wears walking in the rain at Cleveland is the same costume Elizabeth Berrington (Charlotte) wears in Quills (2000), and Sally Hawkins (Anne Elliot) wears to the concert at the Bath Assembly Rooms in Persuasion (2007) (TV). moreGoofs:
Factual errors: In the wedding scene, Colonel Brandon wears a military coat - but it has only a single epaulette, which was the mark of a junior officer, no higher rank than captain! And it has gold buttons and silver lace loops on the lapels, which is an impossibility in British military uniform where buttons and lace are always the same colour, either both silver or both gold. (Mixed metals colours were known in French military uniforms, but never British ones.) moreQuotes:
[watching Brandon court Marianne]Mrs. Dashwood: He is certainly not so dashing as Willoughby. But he has a far more pleasing countenance. There was, at times, if you'll remember, something in Willoughby's eyes that I did not like.

This is my all time favourite adaption of one of the best novels ever made. And since it's filled with my favourite actors and actresses (except from Hugh Grant, of course...) I was pretty exalted about seeing it for the first time.
Now I've seen it like ten times and I find more and more to love about it. Emma Thompson should have a thousands oscars for her beautiful deeds in this film, not only as an excellent actress but also as the one who changed the novel to a script. she's done everything right. and could Ang Lee possibly have found any better actors for the parts? I really doubt. Kate Winslet is stunning as Marianne, the wild, strong girl who got full attention from two very special men. Hugh Grant gives us the usual performance of a nervous, very English guy (please, could someone give him a different part, at least once!) but I forgive him in this lovely film however. and Alan Rickman- he's just wonderful! He gives Brandon the right amount of sadness, tenderness and love- and sweeps anyone of their feet just by being in the scene. And God, that voice! Why on earth would Marianne chose anyone else but him?
Emma Thompson is probably the best actress ever. I adore her. Her performance is brilliant. She's brilliant. The whole film is so brilliant!
