@tdiggs45 i´m quite sure it was "normal" for gentlemen to do that. you can see it in many novels (i.e.dorian grey, sherlock holmes)- it´s like this dangerous thing, that everyone wanted to get to know or something like that. i´m not sure if it was legal, but still^^;
dont flatter urself elizebeth! Mr.Elliot is not after u...u old ugly hag! HE IS AFTER ANNE AND THE ESTATE! wentworth such a clueless man since he didnt realize that Luisa and he was considered couples by others!
Uhhh..why is the acting in this SO LAMEEEE??? Anne isnt too bad but Mr Elliot is a JOKE and a half! Including his face which was *supposed* to be handsome?! Same goes for Elizabeth, she was meant to be stunning. And I dont remember Mary being a spastic in the books, just a bit of a drama queen.
Ugh..this is the problem with watching movies of books, they tend to kill the magic! >.<
You would think that Lady Russell would have made provisions for Anne to have better dresses than she had or at least restyled some of Elizabeth's hand me downs.
are the english a little above their head, that louisa girl was literally throwing herself at the guy, all he did was play with her like a little sister. just cause he helped her, while her skull was cracking open, that means he likes her n intends to marry her, wow that is soo hilarious and plain stupid
@whatwouldjanedoGD I'm guessing you're talking about Mr. Elliot, right? At first I read your comment, and I was like, 'okay, why would anyone care?' then after watching this part of the video I was like 'duh!' :)
What is sickening is that the elite are still here today. In this period, they met in such places to walk around and meet other rich people, while in most of london, people were starving to death. There are people today who still feel most of us are beneath them. Time to get rid of such class predjudice.
I love how he comes to the realsation that he's attached himself in others eyes to Lousia when he was only trying to make Anne jealous, trying to show her that he can in fact be happy with out her when the reality is that he can not. Anne is his reason for being, why else would he come back to the place that holds "unhappy memories" for him? He returned in hope that Anne was still available to him and he could maybe win her back even though she hurt him the way she did.
@chevycheckonit they didn't want to put her in anything beautiful for the simple fact that it might come across that she is like her family, self centred and shallow, looks are important to them where as Anne would "dress down" in order to try and conserve what money her family has left. She is like her mother rather than her father.
@chevycheckonit The coloring is a juxtaposition of character and personality between her stern father and witchy sister. Anne's clothing is not necessarily drab. It's actually warm tones that she wears, signifying her warm and caring nature, versus the cool tones of her father and sister, which signifies their self-centered and all about appearance-countenance and personality.
@nsb5Q322 LOL! No, I'm not a costume designer. But I will take that as a compliment. I do a lot of reading and I'm the type of someone to look for things such as costumes and a person's personality. I think when one watch enough period piece dramas and read Jane Austen, one tends to become a pro :). Take for example, Pride and Prejudice (Kiera Knightly version). If you watch that, look at the colors in that movie. From the houses down to the Bennet sisters gowns. It tells a lot!
@thomipamp I disliked her sister for that comment; the disrepect in her voice was horriable but the actress plays the part brilliantly, she makes you hate her character. ^_^
I always found some of the things in the storyline curious. If you bother to read the book, it makes sense. This version is the least true to the book, though beautifully filmed and RUPERT is ..... beautiful. What frustrates me so much is that there are so many chances for them to talk and they don't until it's almost too late. This is explained in the book by his stubborness and resentment of her.
I always wondered if Lady Russel was just trying to keep Anne for herself... She seemed such a cynic and so alone at the same time. Anne seemed to be her only solace...
Towards they end of this clip are in they all just walking around a room aimlessly and talking. Seems like a meeting place akin to todays coffee shops minus the coffee and a distinct lack of chairs!
The city of Bath was built on hot springs. In refined society is was kind of "instyle" to travel to Bath and partake of the healing waters of those spings.
That's what those people are doing in this clip - they have drink of spa water and then take a turn about the room.
@ccomputa its called snuff, its like powder tobacco, very popular back in the day it basically like having a cigarette but without smoking because they were considered unattractive and common
@anatinoni And a silly girl, not woman who needs to grow up and realize that jumping of steps and smashing your head is not the way to go about it all.
@anatinoni Elizabeth is supposed to be 29 in the book, so yes she's cast too old here. Also, she's supposed to be the MOST snobbiest of all the 3 sisters. Basically, she likes being admired & is waiting around for the richest guy she can get. But it's weird that no one calls her an old maid! Hmmm...
@ddaanniieellee1 because they are so handsome and rarely today we find men that have the same qualities be available. they are either gay, married and/or both.lol
Darcy?lol..not in my case, the perfect man is John Thornton from Elizabeth Gaskells novel "Northa and Souh", wathat series on youtube, you will fall in love with THE PERFECT MAN EVER!
@Kareena1988 : they have some common point, both are confident, responsible, they know what they want, the qualities I like most in a man :) helas! they are rare in our time :-(
I LOVE Thornton! He is pretty much perfect. I love Darcy, Wentworth and Thornton, because they're all tortured, brooding, beautiful souls. xD Not to mention portrayed by gorgeous men!
@chickflickaddict91 that's because Jane Austen had the talent for reading poeple and being able to transfer that on paper. Her descriptions of such charcters and the relations between them is ahead of her time. She will always be compared to but no one will be able to beat her skill at her writing. IMO though,
One of the coolest clothing of both sexes in regency times was on the woman, and you see it often in the films and read it in the books, a plain muslin gown, with long sleeves, a silk handkerchief round her neck and crossed in front,(easily as good as the cravat on the male) with parasol and gloves to match.
This clothing made even the plainest maiden look lovely and presentable.
I agree with pandorarevolt...Elizabeth is supposed to be extremely beautiful and not look a day over 18. She is rather overdone, and I think she had to be, because they got an actress who looked older. They should have used an actress who could play a mature woman, but who naturally looked younger, instead of applying a ton of makeup to an actress who didn't quite fit. Although I must say, she plays the part perfectly!
The men have their nice waistcoats and cloaks billowing around them in the breeze, making them look all sophiscated yet why is it all the women dresses make them look like fat little lumps :(
The lady's look just as sophesticated and lovely in their high-waisted and muslin-gowned dresses, bonnets and hooded-cloaks and they would of been just as breezy if not more than the men.
At least the women were women back then, today its all tracksuits, jeans, trainers, big dangly earings and other disgusting clothing that kills feminity off.
Oh my god! Cousin Elliot is Brutus from Rome! I loved that series! Nice sideburns, by the way. They're enormous. And I love how disgusted Wentworth is at the idea of marrying one of the Musgroves.
this is nit-picking, but i feel like reaching into the screen and undoing anne's hair, give her poor scalp a break. my head is aching just looking at her do. its s'damn... TIGHT
SPOOKS star Rupert Penry-Jones isn't ashamed to admit he was overcome with emotion after filming his latest role. "I've seen it twice now and there's been tears flooding down my face both times. It's a different, gorgeous film."
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@anisete46 anne is ugly...kierra cud carry similar ugly costumes with ease but i am terribly disappointed with anne...she acts well but looks more like wentworth's nanny or mother rather than a ????
@bchan89, I agree, the one in this version looks like a scarecrow. Also Elizabeth & Mrs Clay are better looking in this version. Not sure if that's true to the book though.
4:35 Wentworth is astonished that Louisa believes he is romantically interested in her.... My goodness! Things have certainly changed. Seems as if in 1810s a man "looked or spoke" to a young woman he was next to being engaged... now adays "kisses are NOT promises" and "sharing a bed does not a commitment make".
I'm not saying that, I am all for marriage. But back then people couldnt leave each other and were forced to stay in unhappy situations. Women were also property and dowrys in marriages. All I am saying is now we get to make a gamble, and it is on us whether or not it works and we go through with it. Thats all.
1:45 People still use "snuff" - and also "chewing tobacco" like 'Skoal' or 'Copenhagen'. They're available at any tobacconists and most corner stores sell Skoal - at least where I live! ICK! That's what the spittoon in a saloon (pub) was for... double ick!!
Getting really irritated by that little piano riff...and Anne's constant moping. It's really quite depressing.

One of the coolest clothing of both sexes in regency times was on the woman, and you see it often in the films and read it in the books, a plain muslin gown, with long sleeves, a silk handkerchief round her neck and crossed in front,(easily as good as the cravat on the male) with parasol and gloves to match.
This clothing made even the plainest maiden look lovely and presentable.

I agree with pandorarevolt...Elizabeth is supposed to be extremely beautiful and not look a day over 18. She is rather overdone, and I think she had to be, because they got an actress who looked older. They should have used an actress who could play a mature woman, but who naturally looked younger, instead of applying a ton of makeup to an actress who didn't quite fit. Although I must say, she plays the part perfectly!

The men have their nice waistcoats and cloaks billowing around them in the breeze, making them look all sophiscated yet why is it all the women dresses make them look like fat little lumps :(

@SkysongOfSerenity
The lady's look just as sophesticated and lovely in their high-waisted and muslin-gowned dresses, bonnets and hooded-cloaks and they would of been just as breezy if not more than the men.
At least the women were women back then, today its all tracksuits, jeans, trainers, big dangly earings and other disgusting clothing that kills feminity off.
It's tragic.

The guy playing Mr Elliot - the young one has the face of a thug and a most distinct trace of cockney in his speech :)

Oh my god! Cousin Elliot is Brutus from Rome! I loved that series! Nice sideburns, by the way. They're enormous. And I love how disgusted Wentworth is at the idea of marrying one of the Musgroves.

Elizabeth is older than Anne, yet Anne is considered the spinster, even though Elizabeth is not married either.

Just thought I'd share this...from an article:
SPOOKS star Rupert Penry-Jones isn't ashamed to admit he was overcome with emotion after filming his latest role. "I've seen it twice now and there's been tears flooding down my face both times. It's a different, gorgeous film."

@bchan89, I agree, the one in this version looks like a scarecrow. Also Elizabeth & Mrs Clay are better looking in this version. Not sure if that's true to the book though.

4:35 Wentworth is astonished that Louisa believes he is romantically interested in her.... My goodness! Things have certainly changed. Seems as if in 1810s a man "looked or spoke" to a young woman he was next to being engaged... now adays "kisses are NOT promises" and "sharing a bed does not a commitment make".
suelizjohnson 1 year ago 10
Hell, even engagment rings aren't promises. Nor marriage really. Now people have choices. Amen for choices.

So what would be the point in the first place of been engaged? or married?
UUGGHH!!
Jo7welder 1 year ago 7
I'm not saying that, I am all for marriage. But back then people couldnt leave each other and were forced to stay in unhappy situations. Women were also property and dowrys in marriages. All I am saying is now we get to make a gamble, and it is on us whether or not it works and we go through with it. Thats all.

@suelizjohnson: He is astonished at first, but then realizes how "unguarded" he had been.

1:45 People still use "snuff" - and also "chewing tobacco" like 'Skoal' or 'Copenhagen'. They're available at any tobacconists and most corner stores sell Skoal - at least where I live! ICK! That's what the spittoon in a saloon (pub) was for... double ick!!
