A story about British loveliness

To call this story of Jane Austen "Persuasion" or "Persuasion" is a mistake, or at least the text is off topic. Because this is completely a lost and found love story. This book was published after Jane Austen. I don't know if the title came from her, or from her brother Henry Austen who later published the book. Maybe the author and her book are too famous, and the movie based on this novel may have to be wrong, or use the original name of "Persuasion". The love stories written by Jane Austen are like the London weather, obscure, tucked, pretentious, and coquettish. The reason why she has this taste is because she is British, and many British novels and film and television works have this taste. If "Pride and Prejudice" and "Sense and Sensibility" among Jane's six novels are considered her masterpieces, then "Persuasion" and "Emma" can only be regarded as very ordinary and mediocre works.

No wonder the British writer Charlotte Bronte commented on her ''perspective is too narrow'', and Mark Twain even said ''A library is a good library as long as it doesn't have Austen's books''. Much more vicious than my comments on her novels above. Obviously, I wanted to comment on the movie with emotion, but I talked about the novel and the author. In fact, I want to say that a good movie must first have a good story and a good script. On this premise, the director can make a difference and play. There are many flaws in the story, and the movie is not much better. At the end of the movie, there is a scene like this: the lover Wentworth left a letter expressing his love to Annie. Fortunately, Annie saw it in time. Loving herself and chasing after her fiercely, Annie finally caught up with her lover who was about to leave again, and the two embraced passionately. In the arms of her lover, Annie raised her head and gazed at her lover affectionately, eagerly asking for a kiss, but the lover just didn't stick to his noble gentleman's mouth for a long time. This situation is really anxious to Annie, and even more anxious to the audience. The author and the director are all working together to carry the pretense to the end, which is really unbearable and unbearable.

Persuasion quotes

  • Sir Walter Elliot: I must say, though, the worst of Bath is the number of plain women. I frequently observe that one pretty face would be followed by five and thirty frights.

  • Captain Wentworth: [distressed and avoiding making eye contact] I have been charged by the Admiral... That is Admiral Croft has been confidently informed that Mr. Elliot... That everything is now set in your family for a marriage between yourself and Mr. Elliot. It was added that you were to live at Kellynch. The Admiral wished me to say that if this is the case that his lease will be canceled and he and my sister will find themselves another house... What answer should I give the Admiral

    Anne Elliot: You will please thank the Admiral for me, but I must tell you that he is utterly misinformed.

    [Capt Wentworth suddenly makes eye contact]

    Captain Wentworth: [hopeful] Misinformed? Utterly?

    Anne Elliot: Quite mistaken.

    Captain Wentworth: No truth in any of it?

    Anne Elliot: None.
