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
