Making up for the absence of the "fathers" through the pursuit of love by the "children (leftover daughters)" is still Ang Lee's continuation of the "Father Trilogy". From the traditional East to the classical West, Ang Lee's focus is still on family and Interpersonal, and after many confrontations and compromises, Ang Lee's ending is always an unexpected and extremely harmonious fusion. Jane Austen's works have something in common with the masters of family melodrama Douglas Sack and Aunt Qiong Yao.

That kind of fragility and depression are often seen in adaptations of British classics
Charlotte Palmer: To think! We can see his insufferable house from the top of our hill. I shall ask Jackson to plant some very tall trees.
Mr. Palmer: You will do nothing of the sort.
Mrs. Dashwood: We're so happy that you chose to invite Edward to Norland. He's a dear boy. We're all very fond of him.
Fanny: We have great hopes for him. Much is expected of him by our mother with regard to his profession.
Mrs. Dashwood: Naturally.
Fanny: And in marriage. She's determined that both he and Robert will marry well.
Mrs. Dashwood: Of course. But I hope she desires them to marry for love.
Fanny: Love is all very well, but unfortunately we cannot always rely on the heart to lead us in the most suitable directions. You see, my dear Mrs. Dashwood, Edward is entirely the kind of compassionate person upon whom penniless women can prey. And having entered into any understanding, he would never go back on his word. He's simply incapable of doing so, but it would lead to his ruin. I worry for him so, Mrs. Dashwood. My mother has made it perfectly plain that she would withdraw all financial support from Edward should he choose to plant his affections in less... exalted ground than he deserves.
Mrs. Dashwood: I understand you perfectly.
