Every older young woman needs a partner

In this film, most of the plot is relatively depressing: a vain father and sister, a neurotic sister, and a heroine with a broken heart.

Ann was alone most of the time, without a partner, even when she walked over the little bridge made of wood. Finally, she fell. She needed a break before she could continue walking, and when her brother-in-law proposed to stay by her side, she insisted that he leave. Because, she really needs someone to shed tears quietly and well. The tears this time have nothing to do with the wind and moon, just to defend their dignity.

I believe that every older young woman needs a partner, even I call him a disguise of an older young woman... When no one loves themselves well, or when the person they deeply love tries to be indifferent to them , I need a shell, I need a disguise, even if my heart is crying, I have to live with dignity in front of people, and my partner, is my disguise, is my dignity.

Watching this movie, my eyes were wet most of the time and I wanted to cry a few times. In the front is Wei An's loneliness and the torment she has suffered; in the back, the hero and heroine can finally be together.

Those introverted, self-controlled, but sincere and beautiful emotions always move me time and time again.

Persuasion quotes

  • Lady Russell: Anne! Who is Admiral Croft? And why does he cause you to be out of countenance so?... Anne.

    Anne Elliot: Admiral Croft's wife is... is...

    Lady Russell: Mrs. Croft.

    Anne Elliot: Indeed. And Mrs. Croft is the sister of Captain... Frederick Wentworth.

    Lady Russell: Wentworth? I see. I see.

    Anne Elliot: To think that soon he may be walking through this house.

    Lady Russell: Anne, you know that your father thought it a most unsuitable match. He would never have countenanced an alliance he deemed so degrading.

    Anne Elliot: He was not alone, as I recall.

    Lady Russell: My dear, to become engaged at 19, in the middle of a war, to a young naval officer who had no fortune and no expectations. You would indeed have been throwing yourself away. And I should have been failing in my duty as your godmother if I did not counsel against it. You were young, and it was entirely prudent to break off the understanding.

  • Sir Walter Elliot: Come, come, Anne! We must not be late. You cannot have forgotten we have an invitation from Lady Dalrymple.

    Anne Elliot: I regret I am already engaged to spend the evening with an old school-friend.

    Elizabeth Elliot: Not that sickly old widow in Westgate-buildings?

    Anne Elliot: Mrs Smith. Yes.

    Sir Walter Elliot: Smith? Westgate building?

    Mrs. Clay: Excuse me.

    Sir Walter Elliot: And who, pray, is Mrs Smith? One of the five thousand Smiths that are everywhere to be met with? Upon my word, Miss Anne Elliot, you have the most extraordinary taste. To place such a person ahead of your own family connections among the nobility of England and Ireland. Mrs Smith!

    Anne Elliot: Perhaps she is not the only poor widow in Bath with little to live on and no surname of dignity. Good evening.
