Since they are former lovers who have been separated for 9 years.
Was ANNE's reaction exaggerated? ! Not satisfied with the heroine crying too much.
People who have been separated for 9 years can still hug KISS on the street. Again incomprehensible.
Towards the end of the second half, the original work used a scene in a living room, and Captain Wentworth handled the small fragment of the letter, and the details were very moving. Completely abandoned in this show. It was changed to Annie running wildly in BATH city looking for a lover. It has become a classic version of "Lola Run". Seeing this is simply out of breath. ╭(╯^╰)╮If
it can be completely interpreted as described in the original work, it will be a classic without modification.
A common assessment of Austen's novels is how shrewdly the women in them are about the economic trade-offs of marriage. The resulting films are almost exclusively male interpretations.
What's the point of making films like this if you can't fully follow the idea of ​​embodying Austin.
Seeing that there are many in the comments chasing the BBC adaptation. Except that I was more satisfied with the adaptation of "Pride and Prejudice" (the heroine was the one who later performed "Titanic", which was actually adapted into a TV series, it seems to be 8 episodes). Others dare not compliment casually.
"Sane" is something Austen has always admired, but his only late work, Persuasion, is a bit of a break with that rule.
In general, Austen's heroines are trying to restrain their emotions, I think this may have something to do with religious asceticism, and although Victorian society was thriving, in fact, the rules of conduct were complicated and strict. Women, especially the young ladies who are close to the upper class, must strictly conform to social standards. Therefore, the excessive changes in the film should be the responsibility of the screenwriter. It is simply adding shrimp paste to the foie gras.
Women are restricted by the patriarchal society and are almost in a passive position (although the status of women has improved a lot, but the root cause has not been solved, it is undeniable that women are still in a disadvantaged position). As for the topic of marriage, which has a certain role in changing fate, Austin's None of the women took the initiative, even when they were extremely misunderstood. A typical representative is the heroine of Northanger Abbey.
The conduct of beautiful women becomes the "dignified" dowry of Cinderella-like characters, and these beauty can only be discovered by gentlemen who truly "know the goods".
I can understand why some people take the trouble to watch Shakespeare's plays. Alas, screenwriters and actors, please take a good look at the original work and interpret every word on the white paper. Please don't play "fashionably". Otherwise, there will always be viewers who will faint (~ o ​​~)~zZ

Persuasion quotes

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

    [Capt Wentworth suddenly makes eye contact]

    Captain Wentworth: [hopeful] Misinformed? Utterly?
