  • Aww come on! Someone offer the poor girl a ride!

  • Making her run all over the place, REALLY WRITERS?!? YOU COULDN'T COME UP WITH ANY OTHER FILLERS?!?! a lady would never behave that way in public!

  • RUN ANNE RUN!

    

  • "I am here to take the waters. I have been dreadfully ill, it is my last hope" LOL

    is it mean that I find that hilarious???

  • @uglee45 lmao i laugh also!

  • A lady would NEVER run about places like that back then! But I still like the running scene anyways :)

  • omg this is so intense!!!!!

  • I know he was probably agravated about having to be there; that was why he was in a bad mood!! The letter it always gets me; I like other versions better as far as the letter; but it still convays the sentiment and love; still makes me cry!!

  • Love the running scenes. Even after 8 years Anne still seems to be rather passive in everything. But she finally realize she has to be in action in order not to miss him again .It's now or never. It's like She's running for her life. May be its her life for she can't live without him again

  • "u pierce my soul, im half agony, half hope" nawww

  • hello harry cunningham :)

  • Omg I want one I want one if only you could snatch a character for your own from a Jane austen novel :(

  • @JasmineRAWWR I know!! I'd like Mr.Darcy please!:)

  • I love how she runs so far to go and find him!! I just wish that that kiss would have been... well.... less awkward! That has to be the most awkward and weird kiss, she's like taking forever to kis him, and he's just like ready, and it looks like she might be drooling or something... still romantic though!

  • @123abc13579op I agree; ALOT of people DONT like that part I do!! She wants to make sure she gets him THIS time!!

  • For being a lady that can walk a few miles she is a great long distance runner.

  • Run Anne Run!!! (>_<)

  • Even after watching this a bazillion times my chest still lurches when he says, "misinformed. . . utterly."

    It's nice to have all you anonymous fans to confess my ridiculousness to.

  • I so love this letter he wrote to her. Men don't talk like that anymore :(

  • ou his eyes says it all.

  • You just missed Wentworth- Fifteen minutes across town- you JUST missed Wentworth, he's looking for you. That awkward moments when she wonders how she didn't run into him...

  • Run Forrest! RUN!

  • @Ampsplifier LOL!!!! Brilliant!

  • Now that's what I call a love letter!!!

  • "for you alone I think and plan"

  • LOVE!!! Absolutely love this scene where shes running to find him <3 My heart sinks. I have such high hopes for her to find him (even though I knw the ending) .

    *tears*

  • RUN, ANNE, RUN!!!!

  • Hm... So, Ms. Austen liked the name Harriet Smith, yes? 

  • i love the little glimpse of hope in Wentworth's eyes when she says "utterly misinformed". .

  • ROFLMAO...."I am here to take the waters....I've been dreadfully unwell, it is my last hope" push Anne to the side " Father"!!!! bwahahahaha

  • Damn! I thought that women back then weren't in shape!

  • My problem with her running (aside from being anachronistic) is that it omits the complex meanings of the book. In the novel, Wentworth realises that far from being easily persuaded, Anne is constant in her principles. I love the subtle unfolding of how they reveal their feelings - Anne to Captain Harville, Captain Wentworth by letter. This version cuts out the subtlety and hammers us over the head with its symbolism.

  • "Good heavens, it's Mary." XD

  • The letter brings me to tears every time.

  • The kiss... most romantic. But I doubt if that would've been possible in the street at that time.

  • a woman would never be running about in that time! Oh well, it adds to the momment, i suppose. : /

  • Do you remember Lady Russell,Captain?

    How could I forget? lol

  • I didn't care for all the running... I believe I prefer the 1995 version with Ciaran Hinds & Amanda Root. This version has merit, but I like the previous one better.

  • Best love letter ever.

  • Oh yeah I'll run for him as well. Damn I'll run even if he didn't want me anymore lol

  • "Good Heaven's it's Mary..." lmao, indeed, that's my reaction too.

  • @purple1316 i laugh also !

  • love the soundtrack while she's running

  • @SoftHeartConviction me too!! i wish i could know the name of it...:)

  • How romantic, his note to Ann!!

  • Why is he charged to pass on the information to Mr. Elliot? BTW: I'm glad the truth comes out, that her heart may be revealed to him.

  • @DigiScrap34 He made up that he was charged to ask her that. He just wanted to know if she was going to marry Mr. Elliot, so he devised a plan where he would ask her, while making it seem like Admiral Croft was asking her.

  • @LivingintheShire

    Thanks, It makes sense.

  • damn no cellphone!!!!

  • Before I actually went to Bath, I had no idea how far she had been running. It is actually quite a ways, and it is all up hill. No wonder she is so out of breath.

  • "Good heavens, its Mary." lol. Such a loving father...

  • After all that running, she must catch her breath & express her love towards him, that he will know that she never stopped loving him.

  • Why the running? The production should not have depicted her running so much.

  • @isolanthe I agree. A bit too much running

  • What bothers me the most, after the too long kiss, is that he had a three second head start and yet when she gets out the door, he's not in site anywhere! And then, he has time to write a letter AND give it to his friend? He's had time to join his family, then go back to her house? The timing is so off it takes away my concentration off the story. Maybe he's teleporting! How could a director foul up this badly? And the camera is not stablized when she's running back to Camdom Place.

  • 7:16

    "for you alone I think and plan...have you not seen this"

    that got me. I started bawling right after he said that, that's got to be the most perfectly executed line in life!!!! gahhhhh I love persuasion :)

  • Am I on crack, or does the music playing when Anne leaves her home to chase after Wentworth sound strikingly like the 2005 P&P Soundtrack? It sounds like a scaled down version of 'Liz On Top Of The World' by Jean-Yves Thibaudet? I believe it's 'Utterly Misinformed' by Martin Phipps, but I can't be the only one to hear that.

    I WANT the soundtrack anyway :). I like the music they've put with the adaptations recently, rather than the staid ones you'd hear in all the 90's versions.

  • Of course, I love the 90's stagings of Austen's books (Mmm, Mr. Firth :)), but I like this music.

    This version of Persuasion (my fave Austen book, btw) had one really annoying thing going for it. I HATED the DP's choice of camera movements. Too distracting, not flattering (Unless on Rupert), and just difficult. Plus, too many cuts to audience (when she looks directly into the camera); it's tough to do. Frances O'Connor did it splendidly in 1999 Mansfield Park. This one was just annoying.

  • @kerkie I totally agree! It was creepy sometimes too. Her suddenly looking up, and when the camera was so up close. Other stuff were missing too, like there were a lot of camera shots of just one person, when you desperately wanna know the reaction of the other! An example is this last scene when she's panting n looking at Wentworth!! I wanna see what he's looking at!!! Or when he met Mr. Elliotte at the book store and Anne introduced them. I wanted to see his Wentworth's face!! Not his back!!!

  • which version is better? This one or the one in the 90's?

  • I LOVE the soundtrack!! <3<3<3<3 i´ll force my sister to play it on the piano =P

  • i love the addition of her running after him.....The whole premise of the book is waiting for the right chance at love. Their first time obviously was hindered and blockaded the first time, but when she sees the opportunity for that chance at happiness she must chase after it to catch it and not allow anything to stop her. <3 Jane Austen is the most amazing love storyteller in the history of literature!

  • I'm more amazed at Mrs Smith running to Anne. She's a cripple in the book.

  • EVERYONE NEEDS TO GET OUT OF HER FUCKING WAAAAAY!!!!

  • @yofila AGREED!! DAMN when she tries to leave to follow him; they just crowd her!!

  • WTF IS SHE DOING RUNNING AROUND THE PLACE!?

    If Wentworth stayed in one place for just a minute more and stopped being so fucking hazy about everything then she wouldn't have to find out in a LETTER about how he really feels! Making that poor girl run -_-"! WHAT A FUCKING PANSY OF A BOY.

  • @yofila lol i think it's meant to be symbolic. for once, she chases after the thing she loves, and she wont let anything else distract her. that she would run to where he is and back again (almost like she's returning back to the beginning, -her starting place=her feelings for wentworth again) i hope that makes sense.

  • @aulae i know it's meant to be symbolic but honestly the guy should grow some balls

  • @aulae totally agree...although symbolicly or not I would run after Rupert/Captain Wentworth any day :P

  • @yofila How dare you call my favorite Captain EVER a "pansy of a boy"? I wonder if you've been watching the same story as the rest of us? They were crazy about each other eight years ago, and continue to be that way still. Just like aulae points out she is running after him because she will not be Persuaded by anyone anymore! Besides have you looked at Rupert? He is definitely worthy of being run after..good looking with a loyal heart (still loves her after 8 yrs) Wish there were more like him!

  • i love this series. doesd anyone know where i can get the soundtrack?

  • I wouldn't want to be Sally Hawkins when filming this scene. The poor woman must have been running all day!

  • I always wonder how Captain Wentworth could get away so fast. Anne runs here and there and never encounters him until the end.

  • When Annes Dad said "Good hevens! its Mary!" he really didnt sound to happy to see her. (i wouldnt either.)

  • @AndSendMe haha! I bet she ran more that day than she ever did in her whole entire life! ;D

  • Why the heck is she running like that to and fro? It's absurd!

  • @anglen4891 Bad enough to have had her run the one way but then back again!

  • if a man write a letter like it to me... I will run around the world for his sake...

  • Ok, so the part "utterly misinformed" Is indeed touching, the hope that comes into his eyes.... But when he repeats it back to her, I start to luagh...I can't help but wonder how many times they had to refilm it for the same reason...

  • I hate Jane Austen: it's her fault if I'm still single at 29! The men she created, (Darcy, Wentworth, Col Fitzwilliam, Col Brandon, Knigtley etc) make the men I meet in every day life so insignificant.

    Oh Jane, I hate you and I love you

  • @msinvincible2000 I hate her too for the same reason. There's no such men in the real world (or only one in a thousand). Men of every day life should really watch this and learn from Darcy, Brandon, Wentworth or Tilney.

  • @msinvincible2000 I'm in a very similair situation to you, it's her fault that she created Anne Elliot, Charlotte Lucas, Jane Bennett, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, Fanny Price and others, which make the women i encounter in this day and age a severe dissapointment and difference in comparison.

    Miss Austin you have a lot to answer for.

  • Gah... I'm not loving the dress Anne's wearing.. But it doesn't really ruin anything :)

  • I would like to see how Anne could look like with her hair made more "on the loose", and not so tight, it doesn´t look well.

  • God, she's getting a whole year's worth of exercise.

  • Okay can people stop interrupting them and let him tell her he loves her?

  • The music in this film is amazing! It carries the emotion of the characters perfectly.

  • Run, Anne, RUN!!!!

  • Charles makes me laugh everytime

  • i wish people would stop damned interrupting them!!

  • Why can't my bf write that kind of letter to me?

  • something i suggest none of you EVER do is watch this movie when you have annoying, loud elder brothers around.

  • Prefiero la version del libro, todo es mas delicado y realista para la epoca..

  • The piano playign whilst she is running is so profound,

  • i love captian wentworth. i love how much he loves her and can only think of her. this is one of my favorite jane austen books and one of my favorite movies too.

  • Where the hell is Anne running to? I had hoped they kept faithful to the book. And the way Anne found the letter in the book was perfection.

  • Run, Anne, Run!

  • I wouldn't let my family get in the way either!! I don't mind her running it shows that she REALLY wants to catch him!!

  • @SelenaMulan I agree, like she finally knows what she wants and is determined to get it

  • I have fallen in love twice. To Mr Darcy and Captain Frederick :)

  • RUN ANNE RUN! :)

  • She could be a cross country runner.

  • Ah!

    this part made me cry...in the happy way.

  • My lord, I love the scene where Capt Wentworth is leaving and partically EVERYONE in her family was getting in her way, it was so touchingly precise to how she really is being blocked by her entire family from the love of her life.

    And for god sake's, she had to run after him, then run back home. D<

  • the ending of the book is soooo much better!!! no austen women would run around bath like a crazy person...

  • @SophalNY Oh I dont know, it does make agreeable entertainment.

  • tell you sumut she is a bloody good runner .. i would have ran into him and then passed out from sheer exhaustion!

  • this part should be called ''run lola run''

  • Why can't I receive a letter like that *sigh*

  • I hate all the running.

  • "I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it eight years ago" I need a Captain Fredrick Wentworh in my life. *sigh*

  • @MrsCraigDavid

    I think we would all love for this kind of love to happen to us!! Maybe I'm just a hopeless romantic

    but I believe that it can....u just have to meet the one your destined for!

  • @MrsCraigDavid hahahaha me too!!! and i wouldnt let my family get in the way. :)

  • Those gray eyes are so beautiful....

  • My story's more like this movie and I must say my happy ending is after 4 months!!

  • Frederick must walk really really fast for her to have to run the entire time to catch up with him.

  • Look at that spark of hope and longing in Wentworth's eyes when she says "utterly misinformed"... it's to die for...

  • @221Verona Yes, yes, yes.

  • @221Verona ...it is nice to know other people notice that too...you are not the only one. ;) Thanks for posting this.

  • I really Love this movie...always watch it when I'm feeling "romantical". :D

  • @raylenethunder oh i agree! this has to be one of austens best!!! i love the letter he writes her!!!

  • Was there some sort of time vortex that she fell into? How did he get away so quickly, go home, write the letter and go with his sister to "take the waters"?

  • I love the look on Wentworth's face when he says, "Misinformed...? Utterly...?"

  • Anne has big ears...

  • Anne has some serious lung capacity. She should run cross country.

  • Comment removed

  • Aww you can see Went worth's heart breaking as he talks about Anne and Mr. Elliot.

  • utterly.. misinformed!

  • I love the way Captain Wentworth's eye flickers back to Anne with shock and hope when she says the admiral is "utterly miss informed".... so sweet...

  • @221Verona I love reading other people's comments because then I notice things that I would have never noticed if it weren't for these comments! You have no idea how much delight it brought me when Anne informs Capt. Wentworth that the Admiral was "utterly misinformed." You see that little flicker of hope in his eyes that wasn't there when he arrived at the house!

  • @221Verona Oh, I agree; had to have had every woman melting. Such a fantastic look from our Mr. Penry-Jones. It was very Wentworth.

  • @raemour Great, thanx

  • Anne Elliott, Jane Austen's ultimate track star heroine LOL

  • LOL he writes he is "uncertain of his fate...one look...would seal his fate forever"...while she's been staring open mouthed and practically gushing at him through the whole second half of the movie.

  • Why didn't she just blow past all these other people, grab him by the arm and take him back into the other room? The movie would have ended there,

    Mrs. Smith, the invalid, would never have been able to run over there. She was an INVALID who had to be CARRIED into the waters. The original BBC in the 1970's really brought the Mrs. Smith character into focus. This one changes too many things and ruins the context of the whole thing.

  • He has such emotion in his acting. Wonderful.

  • What does Wentworth begin to say at 3:11?

  • @curlysue27 I believe he says "As to that..."

  • she must be in shape cause that is a lot of running

  • you can just imagine her getting hit by a cart or something as she runs, though that would ruin the story

  • Oh God will the running never end????

  • 2:33 - Wentworth's sudden change from absolute despair to a burstingly happy heart is so very, very uplifting. The lovely dear. His hope is beautiful.

  • SQUEEE rupert penry-jones is verrry pwoar pwoar

  • this is my second favorite movie of the jane austin novels. this movie is a very close second to pride & prejudice with collin firth.

  • oh dear, poor sir wentworth...going through far to many awkward social approaches....poor man :p

  • Love jane Austin BTW how long does a girl need yo run until she finds him

  • IF YOU HATE THIS ADAPTATION, DON'T WATCH IT.

  • MRS. SMITH IS SUPPOSED TO BE A HELPLESS CRIPPLE! >:(

  • it's these kind of movies that make me want to marry a british man :)

  • does mary have some sort of mental condition or WHAT!?

  • I guess I'd prefer Wentworth over Darcy =)

  • @perfectioning love Wentworth but have to disagree with you, Darcy is the greatest in my opinion.

  • @Laurakirwan1 - I would have to prefer Anne to either of them. Hands down.

  • @Laurakirwan1 it's not just about the looks of Wentworth, which would be pretty convincing alone, he waited for her for eight years and I think he proved that way that he would be a loyal companion for her, which is actually a big deal for me. We didn't see, if Darcy would be so loyal to his love for so many years(maybe). Furthermore he is more romantic than Darcy ,remember Darcy's proposal to Lizzy=) he frankly insulted her, compare it with the letter that Wentworth wrote. *sigh*

  • @perfectioning that is so true...8yrs to wait for someone thats a lot for a man...N you i like wat you said abt darcy...I prefer Wentworth too.

  • @perfectioning me toooooooooooooo!

  • I love how they show her running. Very poetic.

  • God I LOVE Jane Austen!!!!! :)

  • That letter always just makes me melt :)

  • You can just imagine what he's thinking in the silences, like at 1:44 it could possibly be:

    "Admiral Croft has been confidently informed *thoughts* that you're getting engaged to that prick in the stupidly tall hat *end thoughts* Mr Elliot."

    Just a humourous thought that popped into my mind there. Love that scene though, just the way it is.

  • run forrest run!

  • The plot changes are absurd. It wouldn't have happened that way in those days. She wouldn't have gone to another room where she was alone with the Captain. Why can't they just leave the plot as it is?

  • So Wentworth either broke left as he left the house, or he was in the small carriage at 4.04, always confused me that part.

  • at 5:19 that group of people is clearly ahead of Anne and mrs smith but then at 5:37 the same group is still on their back. i still prefer the book.

  • Run, Forr..I mean, Ann...Run!! AHAHA

  • 1:31 Jealous much Elizabeth?! AHHA
