The point of Emma Thompson?

I thought that I've read somewhere that when Emma was writing the screenplay for S&S she wasn't writing the part for herself but she wanted to play the part. It was up to Ang Lee to chose who he wanted to play the part of Elinor and I guess he wanted Emma.
Also let's be fair. Emma was going through some personal things while she was shooting S&S. -

You're a complete idiot who knows NOTHING about acting, and wouldn't recognize intelligence if it spit you in the face.
She's a superb, multi - faceted actress who plays drama and comedy equally geniusly. She is a very good writer. She is an extremely thoughtful, compassionate, altruistic human being. And, in addition to all this, she is also a naturally very funny, intelligent Dame who's a great conversationalist.
You don't know what the hell you're talking about. -

Oh shut up you idiot. You're pompous boob. Yeah, because looks is all that matters to you. It must be difficult thinking with whatever you have between your legshowever, small it is at that.
RIP Philip Seymour Hoffman 1967-2014 a tremendously great and talented actor. -

I agree. Her dotty, potty Oh-so-English shtick started wearing thin somewhere around 1996. People think it bespeaks a sincerity and humbleness which is the intended effect, of course. But she's really a smug cow who thinks very highly of herself. She's completely overrated as an actor (Wit is the only performance that stands out on her resume), and her personality is truly emetic. The people who think she's funny and witty must have very low standards and are very easily impressed - people like that sad, unstable idiot mitsos-1, who seems to think anyone who doesn't talk with a posh English twang is far beneath contempt. And she's hardly a great writer; yes she won an Oscar for adapting Sense and Sensibility (though any wit and cleverness in that was Jane Austen's) but her screenwriting output since then has been paltry and underwhelming, to say the least.

Emma is a brilliant actress and WRITER. She completely outclasses most American actresses with her pure talent. Above all, she is a wonderful human being who uses her status to bring awareness to important causes. Emma Thompson is so likeable?I can't praise her enough.

I can't agree more - every time she is on screen the viewer is aware of "Acting 101". Lillian Gish used to say "Don't ever let them catch you ACTING!"; Thompson always appears as if she's reading off cue cards, but it's hip and trendy to think she's the greatest thing going (as is true of a multitude of other 'famous but untalented' people). Her sister is so much better.
