Title: excellent movie
Product review: I haven't read any Jane Austin, like many of you have. I just can't get into the style of writting. So my exposure to Austin's work comes through movies. I loved this movie. I saw it on Masterpiece Theatre on PBS. Unlike the other Austin productions I've seen on Masterpiece Theatre (Northanger Abbey, Mansfield Park), I felt this movie rather than watched it. Here is Anne, confronted by her lost love, watching him court another woman right in front of her. Here she is, unable to reveal that she still loves Captain Wentworth, about to loose him again. Sally Hawkins portrayed Anne in such a heartfelt way, I'm touched every time I see the movie. I thought the movie was well done, the score beautiful, and oh, how I sympathized with Anne. I can't say if this Persuasion is better than the book, or better than any other production of it, but I really enjoyed it as it was.
