So far I find this Anne really adorable. She does portray the Anne I imagined from the book well. I watched the 2007 version first, so I can't say I don't like Hawkins portrayal. It kinda marked me hehe.
I agree, the beginning of this part is jus so hilarious and fitting. And Charle's sigh of "Oh Anne..." at the end as if he had something else to complain to her about... I love that part! xD
The Bitch Session to Anne is simply superb. All the carping, so understandable and human and real. I can't remember if it was in the book or not but it is masterfully done here. There's nothing like a fresh ear to prompt us to redredge all our complaints. It's refreshing to refresh them! Who's the girl who comlains of precidence? She recently did an american movie, and she's actually Australian, I trhink!
MirrenCawdor- I do agree that Anne is a good listener whom everyone seems to trust with their complaints. She neither chides nor adds fuel to any fire . Even the apothecary trusts her with the care of the injured toddler. We all want to have a friend/sister like Anne. It is sad but every family has a whiner like Mary .
Anne is an interesting character. She is so caring and sacrificing. Even with Mary abusing Anne's good nature and her felicitous feelings, Anne remains calm and self posessed. While Anne's demeanor and attitude are the most old-fashioned of the other young ladies in Persuasion, she is the most accomplished in literature and music as well as in the more mundane duties of nursemaid and house chores and in this regard seems the forerunner of the modern woman, competent at work and at home.
anne is sweet and kind and patient and sensible. no wonder everyone likes pouring out their woes to her...i would! and i'm sure the good captain wentworth does too, once they are married.
Although I am not a big fan of hunting, I understand it was a very popular sport in Austin's time. In the scene with the ground beaters and the birds, I keep laughing at the lovelorn Musgrove sisters applauding each time Wentworth shoots his gun.
Mary is a sham, plain as day, to call her a hypochondriac is wrong, what she needs is a good arse skelping followed by a shag, every day at 7 A.M., sort her out in no time, just a man's opinion.
Mary is a problem for everyone! The whole Musgrove family gripes about her hypochondria and passive-aggressive manipulative behavior, played to hilarious perfection by the great Sophie Thompson. Mary’s self absorption even eclipses even her children: her young son just suffered a serious spinal injury but she is more upset about missing a dinner party!
Poor Anne almost has a heart attack here when Lady Croft tells Anne that her brother has married! Anne thinks she is speaking of Frederick, the love of her life, and she struggles to keep her face from falling in agony. But then Lady Croft mentions the couple have settled in the parish in Sharpshire, and she realizes she is talking about Frederick´s brother, Edward, and she her body slowly deflates in relief!
The look on Anne's face when Mrs Croft told her abt Wentworth's marriage was very well captured...the shock, the pain, the hope...all in one....very well done indeed...
And then the look on her afce when she realises it's the curate Wentworth not Sailor Wentworth who got wed...so touching! :) I love Amanda Root in anything she plays!
Thanks for loading this! I was curious about this adaptation, after seeing the 2007 version first but this was sublime. Ciaran has since grown on me as a well-rounded Wentworth. Nice and tall--that's how I like my men! ;)
You are so right! The scene coming up soon when they are all walking together in the mud and Capt,Wentworth insists on placing Anne in the carriage - just so touching.
Is Mary actually saying: you are the best person to sit with the child, because you don´t have the feelings of a mother???? what a terrible selfish coldhearted person.
lol! I could not stop laughing after the first 45 seconds...it's like Anne is the family therapist, haha. And Anne's signature pensive face...quite fitting considering how everyone was talking like that, hehe.
Love the way this section starts, with them all complaining to Anne, especially about the cake. Mary is a great whiner and hypochondriac. I found Amanda Root more sympathetic as Anne - she looks so downtrodden and weary. But as the film goes on, she brightens and blooms. Hinds is great as Wentworth. He has a particularly attractive voice - not unlike Alan Rickman who played Colonel Brandon in Sense and Sensibility.
@MirrenCawdor I believe lighting (and subtle make-up, of course) go a great length towards Amanda Root's appearance. If you take notice, many of her early scenes show her face in shadow, which contributes to her dowdy, wan appearance. Also, you're quite right about Hinds's voice and your comparison to Rickman's role in "Sense and Sensibility" is very apropos. Looking at the YouTube comments for "S&S", many adore Rickman because of that very role.
@MirrenCawdor I was about to give up on this...Mary's whining is doing my head in, don't ya just want to smack her!!! But I'll keep watching thanks to your post
@MirrenCawdor :: Well, Alan Rickman was also very good for his character on S&S.. Watching him on that movie, you would think if he's really the prof snape on HP. peace.
I like the 2007 version better because of the characters are cast more as I imagined them. Everyone in this is so much older than I like. The only things I dont like in the new one are the letter/running part and how Anne doesnt seem to get prettier towards the end like she is supposed to. But Wentworth makes up for all that and more!!! I LOVE Rupert Penry Jones.!!!!! And he puts a lot of subtle emotion into Wentworth. He is Awesome.
I agree - it's painfully obvious. Elinor Dashwood was the best heroine for covering up her sadness, and Emma Thompson played the part perfectly. This actress could learn something from her.
OK this is my FAVORITE part the first time the Captain sees her again that cool camera technique where you can see how it would feel to be her all faint and dizzy. So awesome!
I totally love the actress who played Mary! she's perfect! she's how i imagined her to be. although the actors look older for their roles, their acting gives so much justice to their characters!
im enjoying this more than the 2007 version which i watched first.
Amanda Root is an excellent Anne Elliott, the character who is supposed to be age 27 . Amanda is very authentic - no obvious makeup, no affectation whatsoever and shows with subtlety her sadness followed by relief 3:02 to 3:38 .
Throughout the movie, the camera catches her emotions ,
The actress is only 32 yrs old here. In the book she was 27 and said to have lost her bloom. She is just what I imagined her to look like. I think it quite nice that the women look as if they are not wearing makeup. Gives one an idea of what might be normal in the 1800's. Did they have any forms of makeup in the early 1800's?
Yes :) They had make up, but it was more often used in the 18th century rather than 19th... I suppose it must have gone out of fashion or something! I don't know... But they did have make up =] Like white lead for their skin, mouse skin for their eyebrows... Not really very nice haha.
She does look older but you have to consider she lost her beauty and she has lived a not so quite happy life, on top of that, she regrets not marrying the man she loves. Things like that will make you appear much older than you look. Not telling you that your opinion is wrong, but do consider what she's been through and going through at the moment that can affect her physical appearance.
I thought I was going to like the 2007 version for the simple reason that it is a newer version and so it must be good. However, I like this more. LOL!
no she's not. you can definately tell because the voice is in no way the same. the voice she uses in HP is in fact her real voice. you can see her in both Bridget Jones films though!
When he walked in she looked like all the air was sucked out of her lungs and the room. I think she forgot how to breathe. She could not utter a word lost all her senses. This actress did a good job.
deplored her for the way she left her child in the exact same manner she accused her husband of doing...and how she says to anne 'you can stay you don't harbor a mother's feelings' grrrrr...
i disagree the 2007 version was horrible adaption. not true to the book at all. It was a good movie stand alone but did not do the book justice, and sometimes just weird aka the running scenes. I believe people perfer it only because the actors in it are more "attractive" but as far as acting goes based on talent this one wins as well. Anne in this verison is stronger and much more the anne in the book, the 2007 anne was horribly played...
sally hawkins is a good actress don't get me wrong it is just that she made anne seem so weak and pathetic, i always thought ann to be more inwardly strong, but EVERYONE invisions a character differently lol that is what make reading fun you get to play the casting agent and the director
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the whole point? Anne isn't inwardly strong (because she's was so easily persuaded) until 8 years later when she realizes that she has a chance to fix the worst mistake of her life?
Actually, no. In the book one gets the impression that she made what could reasonably be called a prudent choice, and that really, if Wentworth had come back 2 years later when he'd begun to accrue his fortune and re-applied for her hand, she would have accepted him right there, regardless. It was his stubbornness that kept them apart for 8 years more than any weakness on Anne's part.
except for that current mistake with wentworth everybody can see that anne has given up to all her hopes in life for an escape from her family because she considers herself "old" at the age of 27...those were the bases at that time...and thus she has turned herself to somekind of "servant" to her family and acquaintance...until frederick shows up again!one of the few intelligent men that respected anne's mind and character...(sorry for my enlish:P)
yeah that mistake costed her a "lifetime"....I think the difference between these versions is that this one is much more realistic according to the english society of that time. It's a full film by all means. And you can say that's more authentic because it came first as a release to 2007 persuasion...I mean that the actors,director and all the crew of 2007 version trying not to "copy" this version may have done some differencies on purpose...I don;t know...
The 2007 version is so much better, especially there is no comparison between Rupert Penry Jones and this Ciaran H. actor, who can't hold a candle to Rupert! lol I'm really sorry to those who like him, but I can't stand him for some reason. ..Sry! :/
You know I think that's why she's taking it out on her sister. Her husband doesn't really spend time with her because she wasn't his first choice anyway. This just make JA all the more relevant than most fiction writers even today.
Poor Anne she has to listen to these people complain about their lives and how bad it is and the way that Anne is treated like she as not feelings and that in some way she as to be the servant of those two I would had slap her for the comment but in that time it would have been inproper do to so. I would in private LOL.
I do agree that Amanda Root is fantastic as Anne Elliot, but I have never liked Ciaran Hinds as captain Wentworth. Rupert Penry-Jones is defintely definetly better!
Really?? I do think RPJ is very handsome, and I liked him in Spooks, but compared to Ciaran Hinds, his portrayal was a bit mediocre. It's not his fault though, had he given a good script and more screen time, he would've made a very good Captain Wentworth.
This is the best Jane Austen adaptation there is! It is imbued with a claustrophobic sense, a sense of being trapped whereas other adaptations merely hint at such and get on with the froth. Amanda Root is superb as Anne and Ciaran Hinds stands peerless as Wentworth. Thank you for posting it indeed.

I believe people perfer it only because the actors in it are more "attractive" but as far as acting goes based on talent this one wins as well. Anne in this verison is stronger and much more the anne in the book, the 2007 anne was horribly played...

I do believe this version is truer to the book but I don't think the 2007 one was horrible.
They did an okay job and except for the running scenes, all the other scenes weren't that bothering. Plus I thought the Anne was quite good.

sally hawkins is a good actress don't get me wrong it is just that she made anne seem so weak and pathetic, i always thought ann to be more inwardly strong, but EVERYONE invisions a character differently lol that is what make reading fun you get to play the casting agent and the director
TrisLo85 2 years ago 5
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that the whole point? Anne isn't inwardly strong (because she's was so easily persuaded) until 8 years later when she realizes that she has a chance to fix the worst mistake of her life?
KyosOnigiri 2 years ago 15
Actually, no. In the book one gets the impression that she made what could reasonably be called a prudent choice, and that really, if Wentworth had come back 2 years later when he'd begun to accrue his fortune and re-applied for her hand, she would have accepted him right there, regardless. It was his stubbornness that kept them apart for 8 years more than any weakness on Anne's part.

except for that current mistake with wentworth everybody can see that anne has given up to all her hopes in life for an escape from her family because she considers herself "old" at the age of 27...those were the bases at that time...and thus she has turned herself to somekind of "servant" to her family and acquaintance...until frederick shows up again!one of the few intelligent men that respected anne's mind and character...(sorry for my enlish:P)

yeah that mistake costed her a "lifetime"....I think the difference between these versions is that this one is much more realistic according to the english society of that time. It's a full film by all means. And you can say that's more authentic because it came first as a release to 2007 persuasion...I mean that the actors,director and all the crew of 2007 version trying not to "copy" this version may have done some differencies on purpose...I don;t know...

The 2007 version is so much better, especially there is no comparison between Rupert Penry Jones and this Ciaran H. actor, who can't hold a candle to Rupert! lol I'm really sorry to those who like him, but I can't stand him for some reason. ..Sry! :/

You know I think that's why she's taking it out on her sister. Her husband doesn't really spend time with her because she wasn't his first choice anyway. This just make JA all the more relevant than most fiction writers even today.

I do agree that Amanda Root is fantastic as Anne Elliot, but I have never liked Ciaran Hinds as captain Wentworth. Rupert Penry-Jones is defintely definetly better!

Really?? I do think RPJ is very handsome, and I liked him in Spooks, but compared to Ciaran Hinds, his portrayal was a bit mediocre. It's not his fault though, had he given a good script and more screen time, he would've made a very good Captain Wentworth.

it's very true that RPJ just wasn't on screen enough, not enough lines either. I mean even in the kiss we only saw her face.

I love how Mary says, "...you must persuade him that I am very, very ill." ...and then eats the cake!
Just like in the last part how Mary was saying she was so ill and later we see her eating a good portion of meat! She is sooo very ill, indeed! LOL

This is the best Jane Austen adaptation there is! It is imbued with a claustrophobic sense, a sense of being trapped whereas other adaptations merely hint at such and get on with the froth. Amanda Root is superb as Anne and Ciaran Hinds stands peerless as Wentworth. Thank you for posting it indeed.
