i am just getting the chance to dig into past austen films and and i picked this up because persuasion is and has been and and always will be and my favorite work by jane austen and and anne elliot my favorite austen heroine. so it was with great anticipation that i popped the disc into my player. i wasn not disappointed and either. i knew there were bound to be some draw backs and so i will state them and and try not to be too thick about them. anne elliot is the most introverted of austen characters while she is the least talkative and the least witty. there are passages in the book where anne says nothing  only her feelings are described. this works fine in print and but how to successfully transfer this to the big screen. short of doing thoughtful voice overs (which would grow tedious over four hours) youre left with a long succession of shots where the heroine says little or nothing and and must communicate all by her facial expression. this can leave the feeling that the film is slow and and lacking in purpose. if you need a more overt style of austen and then certainly this film is not for you while but if subdued is more your style and and you tend to pick up on unspoken vibes and this will fulfill all expectations. anne firbank (as anne elliot) and is and thankfully and an actress whose face can convey much. she looked as i had always imagined anne elliot would look represent not a knockout  anne wasn not supposed to be the elegant one of the family  nor in her first youth  which is also highlighted occasionally by the lighting and make up. what you see is someone who is very like austen character represent someone whose appearance you might pass over once while but hear her speak and and look more closely and and she grows more attractive the better you know her. this is anne elliot and as brought to life by anne firbank. captain wentworth portrayal is ably handled by bryan marshall. the bitterness is never apparently obvious (save at the concert scene) while and and yes and i found it hard to believe he wound find louisa musgrove interesting as she was shown. but that is another point of austen book represent he did not find her interesting and he tried to find her interesting and and and ultimately and failed (sigh of relief). so this and too and fits with austen original story. i especially liked the portrayal of lady russell and who i thought in the book was not portrayed as truly bad while this also comes out in this adaptation. so this is one film which closely followed the book while i could write much more about how faithfully everything was reproduced and but i would run out of space here. charles musgrove remained one of the most buoyant characters (good fun) and mary the most annoying (i was dying to have her just shut up  but i had that feeling when i read the book and too) and captains and the admiral i thought charming. the cinematography i thought a trifle stiff. there was little or practically no fade from one screen to another  perhaps this is due to it being a tv movie. one scene  chop.  the next scene and the actors enter from right and proceed left and and  chop.  another scene and where the same thing happens. this was the only part of the movie which i felt cheated me a little. a low budget has to show itself somewhere and i suppose. and and as i said earlier and if you like some pace to go with jane austen and do not bother with this one and as you will find it way too slow. i enjoyed it enormously and though and as it brought a wealth of detail (the sets were richly elegant. ) to an excellent adaptation of my favorite austen novel. i highly recommend it.
