DVD Reviews of Persuasion
DVD Review: Love the book? You'll love this!
Summary: 5 Stars
This version of Persuasion sticks very close to the book. Of course, this is a normal length film, so some things have to be changed or left out. But mostly, when there isn't time for an event, it is implied or hinted at. This makes the movie a bit confusing if you've never read the book. Especially at the begninning, there's a lot of "filling you in" very quickly while you're still figuring out who's who. This movie stays true not only to the events in the book, but also to the feeling of the book. If you've read the book, you'll love this movie! Don't waste you're money on the newer version.DVD Review: a wonderful movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is touching and warm in feeling. The acting is excellent and the scenes absorbing. Amanda Root is fabulous as Anne Elliot. This production is faithful to the novel. Only wish the camera had been steadier in some of the outdoor scenes.DVD Review: Persuasion

Description of Persuasion
Anne Elliot is persuaded to break off an engagement to Capt. Wentworth, but tensions are resumed when they meet again eight years later.Genre: Feature Film-Drama
Rating: PG
Release Date: 5-JUN-2007
Media Type: DVD
Movie adaptations of Jane Austen's classic novels were all the rage (relatively speaking) in the mid-1990s. Clueless updated Austen's Emma, which was more conventionally adapted in another version (Emma) starring Gwyneth Paltrow. Emma was produced yet again, this time for British television, as were a celebrated miniseries of Pride and Prejudice and this splendid film of Austen's Persuasion. Persuasion is the story of a love that survives eight years of dormancy and the frustrating obstacles of class prejudice in 19th century England. Anne (Amanda Root) is captivated when she meets the dignified naval officer Capt. Wentworth (Ciar?n Hinds), but she is advised to discourage his romantic overtures because he has no fortune. They meet again eight years later, but now Capt. Wentworth has become wealthy while Anne's father is in reduced circumstances in the wake of reckless extravagance. A series of circumstances ensue which prevent Anne and Wentworth from expressing their mutual and inevitable love. The film's success depends entirely on the subtle, superb performances of Root and Hinds. The film builds slowly, occasionally leaving you wondering if anything at all is going to happen. When it does, you realize how carefully crafted a film this is, and the final result is grandly rewarding. --Jeff Shannon
