Before talking about the male lead, let me say a few words about the female lead. Anne of Sally Hawkins is by far the most perfect female image in my mind. As for RPJ, I also like the actor, but it was only when I watched other dramas that I liked it later. It can be said that when I watched it for the first time, Sally's superb acting skills made me ignore this beautiful man. Sally's acting skills are very delicate. Some people say that the confession of the 2007 version of the story is too easy, but the actors act well and are contagious. It arouses the emotions of the audience and expresses the heart of the characters more deeply.
Persuasion is a work from a purely female perspective, so the female protagonist must be portrayed more than the male protagonist, but despite this, I think the portrayal of the male protagonist should be sufficient. There are few descriptions in the early stage, and the reaction of the heroine can only be seen unilaterally, while the reaction of the male protagonist is very small. No matter how well he hides, he still has feelings for the heroine, so it is impossible to have no psychological fluctuations. , so that when I see the back, I always feel a little abrupt
Compared with other versions, the 07 version is a shorter version, but the good news is that Wentworth has more scenes (or more concentrated), let's talk about some details about Wentworth
I didn't notice it when I first saw it. Later, I found out that Wentworth often looked at Anne silently. When Anne's eyes moved to him, he quickly looked away, and he seemed to be indifferent to Anne on the surface. , but will pay attention to Anne inadvertently, no matter how much you deny it, this is love
On the way to visit Charles's cousin in a group, Anne saw that her former lover was getting along so happily with other girls. She was not only lonely, but also bitter. Anne slipped, and Wentworth was the first to run over to help her. (You were originally the first in the group, but you came back the fastest, your legs are long enough to run fast haha), if you look closely, you can see that Wentworth's expression changed a bit when he helped Anne up, slowly He turned back to a cold face, tried his best to restrain his emotions, then glanced at Anne from a distance and walked away (as shown in the lower right of the picture above, it is easier to ignore), also because of slipping and hurting his foot, so later sister Wentworth invited Wentworth carried Anne into the carriage without a word while they were in the carriage
In addition, several scenes between Wentworth and his friend Colonel Harville were also good. When they first met, Wentworth enthusiastically introduced Charles and his family, all of whom introduced their full names, but when it was Anne's turn, she said indifferently Miss Elliot, The voice became a lot colder, and the friends next to him obviously realized that it was Wentworth's former lover Anne. Later, they confessed to Harville on the shore (or the dam) that they still loved Anne, and finally his confession letter was also given to Anne by Harville. Yes, as a friend of Wentworth, Harville knows his feelings and heart. It is reasonable for the screenwriter to make such a change at least.
In the end, Anne ran for a thousand meters to chase her sweetheart. This is also the point that most people complained about-Austen's heroines would not run like this
But why did Anne run on the street regardless of her manners, because Wentworth's first letter had already revealed that he was leaving Bath. Before their conversation at home was interrupted by Mary and Mrs. Russell, when it happened that Anne was going to marry this After the big misunderstanding (I didn't explain which rumor was released, but I think it should be my cousin), although Anne denied it, their conversation was interrupted again, this should be the third time (Sheltering Rain) +1, concert +2), so Anne went after him to finish the unfinished words, met Colonel Harville halfway, and received a letter of confession from Wentworth from the other party, which made Anne more determined to chase her sweetheart back. Determined, she gave up this relationship back then, so it can be seen that now the screenwriter wants her to find it back - this is the screenwriter's thinking in the 21st century, and women should be bold in chasing love (but I am surprised that the screenwriter is actually a man)
PS: Speaking of Mrs. Russell interrupting their conversation, Wentworth's performance was also very interesting. Anne said [Colonel, do you remember Mrs. Russell], Wentworth first nodded politely, and then answered indifferently A sentence [How can I forget it], it's a sour answer (I want to laugh when I think of this, I'm so unkind)
In the end, they even kissed each other as they approached slowly like a long march. From familiarity to unfamiliarity to familiarity, this relationship was not easy to come by. They were separated for eight and a half years (generally the relationship is over), Removing all kinds of difficulties and regaining love again, that cautious and somewhat unbelievable feeling, I can understand why they kiss at such a slow pace
I always feel sorry that the 07 version is only an hour and a half, it would be better if there was another episode, I really didn't watch enough of Sally and RPJ.
