Anne + Wentworth || Are you coming back? 

True!! I just commented this. His look of love was heart wrenching. Didn’t love the movie but he saved it for me

Agreed. He looks at her the whole film as one looks at a lover, or something they wish to eat. How do you miss his looks of longing, want, desire, anguish, envy, and love. People so often miss the unsaid.

Great yearning on Cosmo's [Wentworth's] part! Also love that Ann couldn't see that/him until his beautiful letter. My favorite part of the book as well -

@@sistertara9730 Yes! Excellent observation -

Agree, Cosmo made Wentworth character alive.

That's how she was written in the book like the 2007. This was Garbage

Thank you😂 ❤️❤️

Thank you 🥺🥺 I was just saying that to the someone else that I loved the cinematography and the cast as inclusiveness is really important to me too! When I switched off my Austen head space I enjoyed it for what it was with its satire.

Fair comment.

It was absolutely awful it’s my favourite Austen and this was just a mess.

Totally agree with you. It was not persuasion. It was not Anne and Wentworth. And what was up with that rabbit??? Why?? No the writers messed it up. Persuasion is not Bridgerton. It is classic

I'm not in love with this movie, and it's by far my favourite book ever. I didn't hate it though. Wentworths clothes confused me, hes an rich officer in the navy but dressed like a farmer. The fact people wanted them to get together when he first came back, they are supposed to be looked on by others as acquaintances. It's where the romantic tension comes from. Mr Elliot as a character seemed likable which diverged from the book... Henry Golding maybe just isn't capable of being unlikeable. I know the modern language probably bugged people but I didn't mind it so much. That said, the 2007 version had flaws too... well one particular one. Rewriting the end and removing the letter writing scene and then the prolonged run through Bath.

@@amandadublin3129 I’m not upset by the “modern” take on things - the language, the clothing, etc. My issue is that the characters seem rewritten and don’t resemble the characters from the books. Anne is quiet, observant and capable. Her strength comes from her internal fortitude and ability to remain steady and clear headed, practical throughout difficult circumstances. Frederick is hurt and pining, but he hides it beneath layers of indifference and civility. In this version the characters are so different and don’t represent their book counterparts at all - and it’s not “a new take” - it’s actually completely different characters. So it’s not even related to their book selves. Anne is unrecognizable as this condescending, outwardly eye rolling, disdain for her family evident and on display type of character that has nothing to do with who book Anne actually is. Wentworth judges Anne at first sight, then changes his mind about her without any real reason to do so. It’s before Louisa’s injury - so he does a 180 without any development in the story to warrant it. Longing and regret is such a huge part of Persuasion and this film has nothing resembling that. 2007 isn’t perfect I agree - my issues stem mainly from the choices the director made. But RPJ and SH are amazing as Anne and Frederick

@@amandadublin3129 yes and 2007 totally messed the crucial meeting in Lyme with Mr Elliot. If you didn’t know the book you’d have totally missed it. This version was an attempt to modernise a classic. The characters were barely recognisable. Wentworth looked like he was going to cry all the way through and imagine telling Anne that when he was in danger at war at sea, he would think what she would do in that situation!!!!! Attempt to pander to modern female audiences again. Mr Elliot was too likeable & fun, Wentworth wore his heart on his sleeve & Anne was knocking back bottles of wine!!!!! Having said that Mary was v funny & tbf I thought Dakota was a charming heroine, just not Anne Elliot. If we can forget this was meant to be Austen & it’s just a quirky modern take on period romance, it was a nice way to pass a couple hours.

Thank you very much. I haven't got plans to edit the 2007 just yet but will keep that song in mind for when I do :)

I think his performance did it. Imo he nailed the look of love

Hahaha yeah wasn't it just! Thank you so much. I had to edit it to see if the essence was there at all 😂

Yeah if they hadn't of sold it as persuasion then I would of enjoyed it as it is

Hahahaha yeah you got how we ended up on that course of thinking that if your seperate it, it wasn't bad, but if you view it as persuasion it was bad 🤣🤣 thank you my dear, I just really wanted the longing, that I found was clearly there under the comedy and long monologues ❤️

Definitely, this video is much better than Netflix's movie 🙈

The snort that came out my nose 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@CoolCatKerr😂😂😂 My pleasure dear. God, it was awful. Even worse than I expected it to be. Her lipstick!!! 🙄🙄 well, the make-up artist is not going to win any awards this year. That's crystal clear. EVERYTHING was wrong about this adaptation. (Well, maybe the opera singer was okay. I wanted tot give her some credits but her long notes lasted way too loooooooooooong) Dakota cóuld have been a good Anne if she was handed a good script. But this actor playing Wentworth...brrrr🤮 Nope. No. Njet. Nein. Nee, Non. Nothing is going to persuade me to ever watch this disaster again. Not even your edits.

Getting there, still testing positive for COVID but less of the symptoms now - just extra sleepy still! Thanks for checking in ❤️❤️ If you go into it knowing it isn't a faithful Persuasion you may like it and enjoy it more, if I switched off my Austen head I laughed etc but viewing it as Persuasion will be disappointing for sure 😂

I did like this version - especially Wentworth - it just broke my heart whenever he looked at Anne. And I liked Dakota Johnson as Anne. Her Anne wasn't a milksop!! I say all this being a Jane Austen fanatic - I have read all her books - Persuasion being my favourite, seen all the TV and movie versions. I don't get all the negativity!!

Not so
