Nearly everyone involved with Netflix's Persuasion should be slapped in the face with a glove. They have insulted us with drivel on screen, and I, for one, demand satisfaction.

#elizabeth and mary were okay #henrietta and louisa were bearable #richard e grant as sir walter was great but that's because richard e grant is great #lady russell was terribly written - honestly the writers did her so dirty #henry golding was hot because well hes hot but his mr elliot was also written terribly and they fucked up that storyline #dakota johnson played slapstick wisecracking anne and i hated it - some of that's how it was written - and she played it up #this anne is an affront to the real anne in the book #and what the fuck was the point of the letter is anne and went worth had several chats early on #the whole fucking point is they don't express stuff because they think they've moved past each other and they repress the feelings #we got more time in scree with kids screaming about marie antoinette than we got real time to observe anne's character #no she was too BUSY GIVING MONOLOGUES IN ASIDES #and they wrote out mrs smith and nurse rooke!#i HATE the way they sewed up mrs clay and mr elliot #i don't mind cosmo jarvis's emotion - i don't mind that they wanted to play up his longing - that's a more modern take i can see #maybe a more feminist reinterp of wentworth - and it's not a gross change of character in my mind- if he ket it under wraps before #but the letter- the letter is SO DEBASED by this script and the asides and sassy quips #you can't have the bit before the title card and then the letter with all the crap in bbetween and think itwill work #also the point is he's supposed to leave the letter surreptitiously - not i the middle of a table with her name n it that she rus to radoml #i just - i hate this #so much good stuff got written out only to have crap put inn its place #just - ugh #i need to watch the amanda root & ciaran hinds version- that will take the bad taste out of my mouth #but first i want to slap the production team with a glove - and thus challenge them to duels #am i i scared of duelling them all? if you've seen the movie you know i'm not. they clearly can't hit the broad side of a barn.#tht's how ff the mark this movie was #jane austen #austen related #persuasion 2022 #netflix persuasion #austen film
