Title: Disappointing
Product review: A new adopter of Jane Austen fiction, I recently went on a campaign to watch every adaptation of my favorite novels. After watching the 1995 version of Persuasion, I must say that I am very disappointed in this recent take. Although I wish the 1995 actors were as handsome as those portrayed in the 2007 version, the 1995 adaptation is much more fluid and romantic. The actors portray the characters very well and look natural.Although the cinematography is better in the 2007 version, it seemed very stilted and focused more on the facial expressions of each actor rather than the actual storyline. I feel it is rushed and disjointed. The music is a bit dramatic and the acting is overdone.If you are interested in purchasing this film and have not seen it yet, I highly suggest you rent it first (along with the 1995 version) and come to your own conclusion. I am glad I did not purchase it in haste.
