![]() Now for the story and it's was very strange to have Captain Wentworth telling Anne about how as an Admiral he would think "what would Anne do" and that's what he would do.how she is calm in a crisis, etc.and all of this before Luisa hits her head. Elliot and Anne's straightforward banter, again highly inappropriate and inaccurate. Fairly certain neither appear in the source material and seemed time period inappropriate. There is an added feminist twist to the story (one that Austen didn't proved), Wentworth apologizes to Anne for her not being able to be in the navy and when Luisa and Anne discuss Wentworth's qualities.him listening to women is touted as a virtue. It also gets a modern approach to sexuality as at one point it is alluded to that Lady Russell goes on European tours to have dalliances with men.something she and a young lady like Anne would never, ever have spoken about in reality. The cast is given a multi-ethnic approach, similar in it's period inaccuracy as Bridgerton. If you read the novel, this seems horribly out of character.which in the source material is above reproach. I was very disturbed that they turned Anne into a lush.her only pleasure seems to be drinking and she does it heavily throughout the film.including straight from the bottle. I could handle it at the start for the set-up, but then it really just started to take you out of the story, serving more as a distraction than a storytelling aid. The film starts with our protagonist, Anne Elliot, speaking to the audience.which she proceeds to do through the entire film.and not in a writing in her journal or thinking kind of way, but full on looking at and speaking to the audience. ![]() It's like the story received a Bridgerton-lite filter and not just modernized twists but a true dilution of the source material. I was there at the stroke of midnight to watch and grew more and more dissatisfied as the film went on. I really like Dakota Johnson and Henry Golding and, as mentioned, I love the source material.so I can honestly say I was very excited to see this film in the works and I was eagerly anticipating it's release. That film really brought the story to life, building drama and tension that crests in the actual letter. ![]() I absolutely loved the 2007 BBC production starring Sally Hawkins, Rupert Penny-Jones, Anthony Head and Alice Kridge. I like the more mature story of a second chance romance.and the letter, often touted as the most romantic letter in literary history, is truly sigh worthy. Pride and Prejudice is my favorite (I am team Darcy all the way), but Persuasion may be my second favorite of her novels.
