The heroine, Gongan, is an overly gentle and kind girl. Eight years ago, she fell in love with Winworth, but she was persuaded by her family to give up this love because she was unworthy of the family. Eight years later, when her family was in trouble, Winworth had acquired a fortune. The two meet again, one with resentment and anger, the other with guilt and remorse, hurting each other in a painful tangle. Fortunately, the ending is a happy ending, which has always been Austin's style.
In the last paragraph of the film, Ann finally found what she really wanted, and she made up her mind that she would no longer be persuaded by others. So she ran, completely disregarding the image of a lady, and went to Winworth. She ran out of breath and ran across the splendid streets of Bath, and in the process of running, she also threw away her weak and unsteady heart. I was very moved by this part, although the picture is a bit too modern.
Austen's novels are very similar, and even the protagonist's name is reused. But this "Persuasion" can obviously feel that the author's thoughts are more profound. While her masterpiece is undoubtedly Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion is undoubtedly an excellent novel, and its depth of thought is, personally, more profound.
Every time I read Austen's novels and movies, I feel a new experience and moving, but frankly speaking, it is not a good thing to read too much, at least there will be a lot of unrealistic British gentleman fantasies.
