i wonder why they changed the bit about Mr.Elliot..he does not live on borrowed money...in the book he married for money and is rich after his wife died. But now he wants the title too and will do anything to stop Ann's father from marrying again. (in the book)Mr.Elliot holds Ann in high regard and truly wants to marry her. I like that better because who wouldn't want to marry such a beautiful and sensitive woman...love u Ann..
I know lady Russell means well, but all her advice REALLY SUCKS lol- she would have had Anne forget captain Wentworth, and marry her snake-in-the-grass cousin Elliot!! shoot. she needs to shut it and mind her own business already
It was in an early draft of the book that Jane Austen decided not to use but the filmmakers chose to add in here(a nice touch,in my opinion). Some editions of Persuasion do include this bit-try a Penguin or Oxford University Press copy for it.
This scene where Ct. Wentworth tells Anne that the Admiral sent him to tell Anne that they will leave Kellynchhall if Anne marries Mr. Elliot is in both film versions but I could not find it in the book. Has anyone seen it in the book? Did I just not see it? Did the 2007 version just copy it from this movie if it was not in the book?
@kobnum@kobnum It's free to read/download/print on, for example, republic of Pemberley or just google it :-) Nice enough chapters, but I'm so glad she was inspired to revise them and write THE LETTER....!!!:-)))
@mtav30 Thanks, I will have to find another version it seems. I'm sorry she took it out b/c I really like that part. I think the 2007 version also adds more angst than the book or this 1995 version has, which makes it more emotional for me.
Okay, not to burst the ooey gooey bubble of romance (in which I am happily situated) but both the actors for Captain Wentworth and the other man in this scene played pedophiles in episodes of Prime Suspect! I really can't help but find that HILARIOUS when I watch this scene.
This movie showed Anne's growth, from learning to shine infront of others, to speak her mind, to disagree, and to follow her own heart. A mature love is very apparent here. Anne will be persuaded no more. :)
There's a lady at my church with the same timeless, unusual beauty as that of the actress who plays Lady Russell. My friend is in her seventies and in 20 years---heck, in her GRAVE--she will be beautiful, with an enigmatic smile like the above.
What a great cast! Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds are PERFECT. I prefer this adaptation to the 2007 although Sally Hawkins was wonderful as Anne. Rupert Penry Jones was gorgeous but Ciaran Hinds IS Captain Wentworth. What a brilliant actor he is. What a great book!!
Jesus, Wentworth must be blind, deaf and dumb to not register Anne's feelings for him after such a display, running after him like that at the concert. Brother needs to WAKE UP...and chill the crap out too by the looks of it. Temper tantrums and dismay left, right and centre whenever she talks to a man other than himself! Still, he's my absolute favourite of all the Austen men and Hinds lends him such an unmistakable masculine allure in this. Delicious.
I know they're cousins but I love how he flatters Anne. In my opinion, Captain Wentworth was a little bit too presumptuious in thinking she would run back to him with open arms and no opposition.
1forestcat, yes that was Ciaran Hinds in HBO's "Rome"! The actor playing Anne's cousin, Mr. Elliot, in the 2007 version, Tobias Menzies, also played a major role in "Rome".
My favorite jane austin story. I loved the recent tv movie that was on PBS, but this is the best version. The actor that plays the Captain is HOT! Hey, didn't he play Julius Caesar in the Series "Rome"?
"Ooh, certainly more man than one sees of men in Bath. Indeed, peruse his kugelsacks! I haven't seen such a pair since my last race at Ascot!," cried Lady Dalrymple.
@just1Becky I do to..wenworth in the 2007 version is so handsome, but that version lacks a lot of emotion in the end...this part, the one when anne is talking to Mr. Harville by the window is the best of all. 2007 don't have it..
I agree - I was very disappointed by the way the 2007 version handled the whole Anne/Harville conversation and letter scene - it would have been SO much better if they did it more like this version. IMO, the 2007 version seemed to focus more on Anne's perspective - to the point that other characters, like RPJ's Wentworth - was (unfortunately) not as well developed. I love this version because all of the characters - especially Wentworth and Anne - really came alive for me.
I agree.. There are so many more details in this one, and I especially love the ending in this one,. But I have some problems with the characters (1995).. I like the 2007s much more..
Vie niekto preložiť túto verziu (1995), part 1 -10, do slovenčiny ( SK) alebo češtiny (CZ)? Tak veľmi by som chcela vedieť, o čom sa rozprávajú. Knihu nemám a skoro nič nerozumiem "-(
Veľmi sa mi páči C. Hinds a to aj v Jane Eyre. Má zvlášne čaro, nepotrebuje veľa slov na vyjadrenie, čo cíti.
I absolutely love this version. My favourite part in this clip is where Capt. Wentworth gets jealous at the recital. He shows such passion for Ann. I also love where he finally confronts his adversary, Lady Russell.
Around 8:39, Mrs. Smith says something about Mrs. Clay and a son? @.@ She talks too fast for me! lol Can someone help me figure out what she was saying? Eversince I saw this movie and fell in love with it, that particular scene still eludes me!
The thing that bugs me about both versions is that they both mess up the history between Mrs. Smith's husband and Mr. Elliot. This is a shame because it makes Mr. Elliot look more cruel in the book.
@CrazyGood88 oh I would dispute your first statement from personal experience but you are spot on about Wentworth! Dietrich Bonhoeffer lamented the pathology between the sexes while awaiting execution by Hitler--but I wish men and women had more common ground. I cannot get men to read Austen when I teach her!!
@vivascargill Oh please do dispute that first! I'm always up for a good debate! lol! What kind of class do you teach? And where could I find the Bonheffer lamentation?
@CrazyGood88 Hi I watched the film again --and re read the book--1) I don't really want to publically dispute your first assertion since it is personal and painful --perhaps if there is a private way of communication,
Bonhoeffer mentions it in his unfinished book Ethics --I don't have the book in front of me but he is accusing the "Church" of a series of failures and failing to address or resolve that pathology is one. I teach a class in extended education but have taught oops out of ...
@vivascargill Oh ok. I'm sorry I am being completely insensible towards your emotions and frankly it is none of my business something that is so painful, I would not want you to have to rehash it for my benefit. Thanks for the title of the book would definitely love to look into it. I have never heard of an extended education class but from the way you talk of it it sounds very interesting.
@CrazyGood88 extended education is simply continuing education -- 0lder people who want to take classes that perhaps they never got a chance to take in highschool or college--I taught a course on JA there recently (also taught her in University and high school) I left a post on your channel. Sadly my JA course was almost all women men need to read her!!! cheers.
@vivascargill Sweet!! Men definitely need to read JA!! Maybe they will have better insight on how to court, treat, and win a lady!! not to mention ettiquette in general!! God Bless!!!
@CrazyGood88 alas we live in vulgar times but I think she could teach men not so much to court but to treat women with respect. I also try to alert my students to other issues lurking in the background of her novels--slavery enclosure and poverty --as her brother said of her "She recoiled from EVERYTHING gross" and "she was incapable of giving offence to God or to any fellow creature" (slight paraphrase) --we ALL need to read her with care and charity. Bless you!
@vivascargill absolutely. I loved her quiet strength of presence in this movie. and Ciaran...perfection. He did not have to say anything to portray the emotions he was feeling.
I was replying to your quote, "'We do not forget you as quickly as you forget us.' how right Anne is!" In my experience, women move on with barely a moment's pause, while I take some time to recover.
@policemanaaron at times a woman will consider it a form of giving the winning hand to the man if she shows any sort of weakness in any relationship no matter who walks away first. my personal experience tells me this-a woman may appear completely unfazed while walking or watching the man walk away. and she will appear totally at ease and confident and content when next the "exes" meet but trust and believe the girl's poor heart is breaking and inside she is screaming in pain.
You're welcome! It is such a song to get enchanted by. I can't understand why they never made the sheet music for vocals. I would love to hear her sing a longer version.
@Buddafly89 the first ending has no letter --the commision from the admiral--anne says there is no truth to it--they take hands--what is remarkable is she wrote the second ending when as one contemporary said "the hand of death was upon her"
When i visited Jane austens house in Bath - you know, the tourist trap - they were selling the soundtracks to the films in the gift shop, i meant to buy this soundtrack but somehow bought sense and sensibility by mistake :( dunno if you can buy them over the internet amazon etc?
I love all the little hints he Wentworth gives to Anne through out the story. It just brings them closer together with all the difficult of the other ladies attracted to him.
@gradgurl2007 I know Lady Russell is not a bad person and she really loves Anne, but I can' t forgive her for what she did to her, I think I like lady Russell as much as Captain Wentworth...
Anne sees so well through Mr. E in this scene. I love how her annoyance unveils itself gradually and with feeling rather than a monotone of casual observation.
Man, I know this is terrible, but Ms. Smith reminds me so much of Terry Jones from Monty Python. It's the one thing that really distracts me from the film.
I love it MR.Wentworth is so jelos of Mr.Eliott you can see the look on his face I like it when the men are the ones that get jelos it makes it more interesting because guys where their feelings out in their faces not like girls when most of the time we can hide it. and I have been able to prove that theory my self from experience.
I like that love song she's singing but I cannot find any info on it anywhere. I went to B&N, Amazon, the Internet and I cannot find the name of the song. I know Jeremy Sams was the musical director for this movie but still, cannot fint anything
This is the one point on which this nfilm irritates me....the change in the history of Mr Elliot as told by Mrs Smith...why can no adaptation of this book stay faithful to this part...IMO it's essential to a proper characterisation of both Mr Elliot, and Mrs Smith.
That said, I do love this adaptation, and it is the best adaptation of an Austen book...I suppose no adaptation is ever fully faithful to the book.
To galinaqt... Yes, you are right, but confidence is something that one acquires through one's upbringing (the way your parents raised you, how much love they gave you, etc), education, your physical appearance, etc... Not everybody has had the fortune to be taught confidence, therefore we cannot blame those who lack confidence in themselves like poor Ann. :-)
I don't blame her at all. I have problem with self-confidence myself. I agree with what you say. In life we will have people who convience us to do what is not right for us and we'll pay the price.
i alway dislike lady russel at this part of both the book and the movie because she seems to impose her own oppinion on anne and have a complete disregard for anne's true feelings as opposed to her own wishes and suppositions of anne's "true" desires.
I haven't read a book yet. BYW I bought it today. I can say that it always will be people who try to impose their opinion on you. If you are not strong and confident, you will suffer. I didn't say that to critisize her, but that is life.
I think you misunderstand Lady Russells intentions It is not to squash Annes feeling but to protect her from a mismatched marriage She saw what Anne's mother went through marriaging with her heart with no regard to money or sense and when the mother died and the father was in charge of the house they nearly lose all the family fortune because he is silly and impractical a trait he is clearly passing on to his first daughter Lady Russell wishes that Anne keep the family fortune and title

You're welcome! It is such a song to get enchanted by. I can't understand why they never made the sheet music for vocals. I would love to hear her sing a longer version.

Buddafly89 1 year ago
@Buddafly89 the first ending has no letter --the commision from the admiral--anne says there is no truth to it--they take hands--what is remarkable is she wrote the second ending when as one contemporary said "the hand of death was upon her"
The NORTON edcition contains both

When i visited Jane austens house in Bath - you know, the tourist trap - they were selling the soundtracks to the films in the gift shop, i meant to buy this soundtrack but somehow bought sense and sensibility by mistake :( dunno if you can buy them over the internet amazon etc?

I love all the little hints he Wentworth gives to Anne through out the story. It just brings them closer together with all the difficult of the other ladies attracted to him.

@gradgurl2007 You couldn't have more right! I really hate her, specially in the book!

@menia147 - I didn't hate her, because I could see her point of view. That's why I love Austen, she makes Lady Russell sympathetic.
gradgurl2007 1 year ago
@gradgurl2007 I know Lady Russell is not a bad person and she really loves Anne, but I can' t forgive her for what she did to her, I think I like lady Russell as much as Captain Wentworth...

it was in an alternate ending that austen wrote. look for a fine or academic edition of the book and you'll be able to read it for yourself.

Anne sees so well through Mr. E in this scene. I love how her annoyance unveils itself gradually and with feeling rather than a monotone of casual observation.

I love how Nurse Rook draws up her chair to be closer to the gossip!
Also in part 8 a few people, including myself, mentioned that the scene in the tea room wasn't as powerful as the one in the most recent adaptation.
The part where Wentworth is asking Anne whether she want's the Admiral to end his lease is the complete opposite.
You could just tell he hated having to ask her and praying that she would tell him that she wasn't going to marry Mr Eliot.

I love it MR.Wentworth is so jelos of Mr.Eliott you can see the look on his face I like it when the men are the ones that get jelos it makes it more interesting because guys where their feelings out in their faces not like girls when most of the time we can hide it. and I have been able to prove that theory my self from experience.

MAGDAD3110 2 years ago
This is the one point on which this nfilm irritates me....the change in the history of Mr Elliot as told by Mrs Smith...why can no adaptation of this book stay faithful to this part...IMO it's essential to a proper characterisation of both Mr Elliot, and Mrs Smith.
That said, I do love this adaptation, and it is the best adaptation of an Austen book...I suppose no adaptation is ever fully faithful to the book.
Ally2572 3 years ago 5
I agree, why bother changing it? And Mr Elliot doesn't come across as properly evil when told this way.

To galinaqt... Yes, you are right, but confidence is something that one acquires through one's upbringing (the way your parents raised you, how much love they gave you, etc), education, your physical appearance, etc... Not everybody has had the fortune to be taught confidence, therefore we cannot blame those who lack confidence in themselves like poor Ann. :-)

I don't blame her at all. I have problem with self-confidence myself. I agree with what you say. In life we will have people who convience us to do what is not right for us and we'll pay the price.

At 7:10: Catain Wentworth delivering Admiral Croft's message to Ann:
- Just say it. Yes or no?
The question, of course, has a double meaning: " Do you still love me, yes or no?" :-)... Ciaran Hinds is irrestible here.

i alway dislike lady russel at this part of both the book and the movie because she seems to impose her own oppinion on anne and have a complete disregard for anne's true feelings as opposed to her own wishes and suppositions of anne's "true" desires.
anpanmon 3 years ago 2
I haven't read a book yet. BYW I bought it today. I can say that it always will be people who try to impose their opinion on you. If you are not strong and confident, you will suffer. I didn't say that to critisize her, but that is life.
galinaqt 3 years ago
I think you misunderstand Lady Russells intentions It is not to squash Annes feeling but to protect her from a mismatched marriage She saw what Anne's mother went through marriaging with her heart with no regard to money or sense and when the mother died and the father was in charge of the house they nearly lose all the family fortune because he is silly and impractical a trait he is clearly passing on to his first daughter Lady Russell wishes that Anne keep the family fortune and title
