Netflix decided to make Persuasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Persuasion, a book by Jane Austen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decidedly one of my favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a 1995 BBC movie starring Amanda Root that I have on DVD. It’s very good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mansfield Park got a treatment that was different in 1999 and I would have to say, this new 2022 Persuasion from Netflix, shares a lot with Mansfield Park that I dislike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First off – Anne of Persuasion was a bit older, not very young and not very pretty just not ugly and sad, and worn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning the Netflix version you have a very flippant narration of Anne and it so says “I’m Fanny from Mansfield Park”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lady Russell showed up and voil\u00e0 I said good-bye. The transfer of characters to other people where they wanted to do so, starting with Lady Russell, not cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thumb down. Personalities shine through in Jane Austen and I really don’t understand why casting and directing of Jane Austen is either “Spot ON” or “What have you done!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We already have too much “What have you done!” in the Jane Austen world. We certainly didn’t need another one [Persuasion (2022) I am looking at you!] <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may be a fine movie, but adaptions are something I can just watch so easily. It begs me to watch the other edition I have, and read the book instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
