Only RPJ can get in the eye

The plot is too simple, I don't know if the original is like this, or the movie is too simple. The heroine's appearance is a bit shabby, and she is far from her family. When she first appeared on the scene, I thought she was a maid or a governess... But she has a good personality, gentle and rational (mainly this drama). The other women are too shallow and ignorant, but she alone seems to be a little brainy). Well, RPJs are always eye-catching, but they don't look like soldiers who have experienced the baptism of war, but rather like a pampered aristocrat. The whole film is basically boring from the beginning to the end, and the kiss at the end really looks like the heroine kissing the hero (⊙﹏⊙).

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.
