 Written on June 22, 2008 Summary: Even Jane herself would approve of this production The producers of this film took their jobs seriously. By that, I mean that I think they actually read the book before producing the film. And the production is so much better for it. The story is classic and familiar: Boy and girl fall in love. The girl (who is young and easily manipulated) is convinced to drop the boy since he is not "acceptable" -- not of her caste. Later, after many changes in fortune, they meet again, but this time it is the man who is initially reluctant to form any kind of alliance with her, though she still cares deeply for him. It takes some shared experiences, a change of scenery, and some realization on both of their parts of their mutual responsibilities before they are happily joined together. Sounds like the making of a soap opera, doesn't it? But in the hands of Jane Austin's incomparable skill at story telling coupled with excellent casting of the film, a fine adaptation of the story, and just a smidge of Aristotle's "willing suspension of disbelief," this film is a wonderful fresh surprise. By the way, if you saw the recent PBS Masterpiece Classics adaptation of this same book, you may find as I did that it suffered greatly when compared to this earlier production. Take a look at this film and once more escape into Jane's world of Regency England and the rise of the middle class.  Written on June 20, 2008 Summary: Difficult to understand Persuasion is a beautifully filmed period movie. The british actors were at times difficult to understand. People whispered and then spoke loudly. It was sometimes hard to decipher the British accented dialogue. Worth watching for the costumes and scenery. Written on June 19, 2008 Summary: Persuasion Just loved it !! Its better then the oldest and newer version of Persuasion. I say " buy this one.. you won't be sorry". Written on June 14, 2008 Summary: breakage Sorry, my fault. i cracked the dvd trying to get it out of the case! Written on June 12, 2008 Summary: How could you not love this movie? You have Anne, poor little Anne she is looked over mistreated and ignored by her own family, even though she gave up the man that she loved for them. This movie has rich and lush visuals, to me this it the best of all the Jane Austen, in my mind I could never decide who I love most, Captain Wentworth, Colonel Brandon or Mr. Darcy. Oh, I have tried to pick but its impossible. Captain Wentworth's letter to Anne the first time I read it, I just cried, when I see it in this film, I remember very well being that fourteen year old who was awkward and shy and identified so closely with Anne. Oh, if you have a romantic bone in your body, you will adore it. |
