365 Movies: Persuasion Review


Persuasion stars Sally Hawkes and Rupert Penry Jones in 2007 adaptation of Jane Austen's novel of the same name. The film is about 27 year old Anne Elliot, who meets her lost love again after years of being forced apart. Anne was forced to leave a man she truly loved, because her family didn't like him. When the two reunite, Anne feels he despises her and the two seem more apart than ever before. I truly, love Jane Austen and this is just another fine example of her work. It's a simple, sweet, and endearing film, that is filled with love and second chances. I really thought that Sally and Rupert made a swell couple together and I greatly hope to see more movies of their's. A fine film with a marvelous set of actors.

I love Jane Austen! This movie is so beautiful and romantic! I think my favorite, though, would have to be "Pride and Prejudice" or "Mansfield Park." Great review!
