This was the best trailer I could find. The movie looks and sounds a lot better.
My Thoughts:
- I liked this! It was a great story with lots of tension!
- Captain Wentworth isn't as handsome as Richard Armitage, but he did a good job portraying the character.
- Mary is SO melodramatic!
- Mrs. Croft is Mrs. Dursley!! It was so weird to see her smile and play a kind character.
- I felt sad for poor Anne. Everyone took her for granted and didn't appreciate her. I really liked Anne's character. I liked that she was shy and quiet. There is nothing wrong with a meek, humble, and sweet female protagonist.
- I loved all the longing looks between Anne and Captain Wentworth.
- I love that Anne travels with the captain on his ship! Such a happy life for both of them!
- I had unanswered questions after the movie. What happens to Mr. Elliot and Kellynch? Does Elizabeth ever get married? Are Louisa and Captain Benwick happy?
- The circus parade at the end is weird!!
- The circus parade at the end is weird!!
- Wonderful movie! I wouldn't mind watching this a few more times.
I don't think I'll watch this one. I think the actors being so old would bug me. I know the characters in Persuasion are older than most of Austen's characters, but they're not in their 40s and 50s!
ReplyDeleteYou should try the other version (2007) that I watched and compare. I'd be interested to know which one you liked the best. :) (Capt. Wentworth is very handsome in that version, but still not to Richard Armitage level!)
ReplyDeleteI'll watch it soon! It is sitting on my shelf.
DeleteI actually just watched this movie this morning. I adore this version of Persuasion, even though it's older. I love the little looks Anne and Wentworth give to each other (or don't give), and I love that the letter scene stays truer to the book than the BBC version. My favorite part is when he squeezes her hand before they kiss <3 glad you enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteThe looks are awesome! I love little things like that. Yes, the hand squeeze!
DeleteI liked this movie version the best. I'm so glad you liked the book after the slow start. It's my favorite Austen.
