I'm a minority in this but not having read Persuasion, I love the movie. I felt the devastation when Anne thought Wentworth was marrying Louisa. I felt her emotion when she read his letter. All the actors and actresses did a great job. Why must all movies follow source material to the T. Movie daptations are like song cover. They are not the same but you get a different spin depending on who the writers and actors are. Dakota is personally my favorite Anne to watch.
I think modernisation of stories like Jane Austen's or even the BBC adaptation of SH doesn't quite work on me. It just feels extremely bizarre and takes away the charm and poshness perhaps from the whole intricately designed historical fantasy story. It would be great if in further adaptations they would be able to do justice to the original books and bring out the mellow, enchanting and intricate scripts, attires and altogether the atmosphere without making the adaptation so detached from the original but also far from the current modern society.
This is a scary thing to suggest. 😂😂 I'm sure you'd agree that society nowadays is so easily offended to create a historical era film without making some inaccuracies.
What ever do you mean 🤔 oh the blk characters are not servants. I watched last night brilliant made a massive change not seeing blk ppl as slaves and speaking we sick massa. Well done BBC 👏 ✔️ 👍 👌
@@nukoe9863 Hmm how so? I think we are on completely detached planes here. What I'm demanding has absolutely nothing to do with real actual history but rather remaining true to the book as in terms of the dialogues which is in the original quite phenomenal as compared to " we are exes" stuffs. Also, the costumes are so 21st Century too. I mean it's fine if it works for you, great but I'm just expressing my opinion here no need to be so immature and ridicule ppl about it.
@@pauletteguminska4437 Bro no. Wth are you on about? I can't believe that you're comparing such a sensitive and serious issue to a fictional work made purely for entertainment purposes which has nothing to do with it at all. Please grow up.
@@SH-zh8eh I get what you're saying. But it just happen. Regardless if it's fictional or not. People will find a way to be offended. Remember the game of thrones where people got offended over the fact that the slaves in Essos (which was shot in Morocco) were mostly people of color.
I'm sorry, but the original Persuasion is Leagues better than this...I see what they are trying to do here, but it's like a D student trying to sound smarter and cooler than the A student without reading the assignment.
I’m a twenty-year-old mixed girl who adores period dramas and seeing Louisa on screen for the first time made me so happy. Seeing a Black girl being represented as a young and hopelessly romantic girl is so powerful. I’d like to thank the casting director for breaking the stereotypes and crashing Bridgerton’s broken fantasy with the way they handled Marina’s characterization and harmful representation on screen in the first season. Louisa is allowed to be just as innocent as the other girls in that time period and it’s beautiful to see it. This movie happens to be unsurprisingly, written and directed by women who totally understand the importance of respectful representation of women. I’m sure it, out there, made a lot of girls happy. I’m currently reading the book by the way. Jane Austen actually included a mixed heiress in her unfinished novel Sanditon!
I'm also mixed. What exactly did you find harmful about Marina's characterization? What does "respectful representation" mean to you? Marina was a hopeless romantic until life--societal expectations/norms, consequences of war, etc--dashed her hopes and dreams. There are other Black women in the show, the Queen is played by a biracial actress, as well as the actress playing the modiste, Delacroix. It's as of yet unknown if their characters are also mixed, but even still, each of the women are distinct 3-dimensional characters. Representation, to me, is about having many and varied portrayals of fully rounded personalities with rich backrounds and motivatoins, showing that there is more than the stereotype.
stop violating historical fantasy books by modernizing them. it just doesn't work especially if the f book is Jane Austen's. I mean... God, it couldn't get any more cringe than this. the details, the emotions, the struggles, the etiquette, the mentality of the era all of those things you choose to ignore make historical fantasy books so appealing in the first place IT GIVES THEM THE DEPTH. I wish I could unwatch this BS
I am sorry but no. There are many beautiful and modern adaptations that happen in a different era. Usually the story is reworked so much it only resembles the original work in a few core points and themes, and that is ok! It's beautiful actually. BUT THIS?? IN THE SAME ERA? THE SAME EXACT STORY BUT WITH TOTALLY DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES? It feels like No constructive effort is done, only a destructive one. And that's not ok for the memory of the author of the original work. It is called bad plagiarism not creative inspiration.COME ON! It's ok to fail at a project in life at a few projects even it's ok. We learn from mistakes, but one needs to admit the errors to learn from them!! Why did you waist the talents of the actors and so much money for this? Why? You could have done so much better have you just created a new story, Anew plot, new characters in the same era, maybe dealing with he same issues,it could have been much better. Moreover, I' am not an expert, but sometimes, roles may be written specifically for an actor to match their acting style. Some roles are simply not made for some styles, either the actor changes his/her style to match the role or the role is designed for the said style. but it's not ok to make a defamation to a beautiful classic. And call it na adaptation. Of the protagonists characters change, the work changes,. The title changes the story changes it has nothing to do with the original. We love movies we love romance, we love new stuff too but please take us the audience into consideration when you make movies. LoL I've never been angry at a movie before, books perhaps, but movies 🤣 but this one? It feels like reading a scandalous article in a particularly scandalous sensational tabloid lol. Anyways, keep improving.
Lol. Had to get Asians and Africans to diversify the movie . Year 1787 and the world is lala land I guess . Not historically correct and a knock off version of Jane Austen's Work
bullshit, this type of movie influences women to judge their true love and marry a f rich guy and then feel hollow and lead to divorce and desire again that true love she left behind without feeling any shame. that type she dont deserve to be loved.
