And like you, I had really high expectations the first time I watched and ended up severely disappointed! There was several scene changes that truly frustrated me. But after another viewing or two, I grew to like it. So long as I just blatantly skip over the parts I don't like, I admit. Basically, I tend to watch this version for the handsomeness of Rupert as Wentworth and because I love Persuasion so much in general. Plus there are other sweet things about it.<br /><br />The '95 version has things that bug me as well though, so really, I'm just impatiently waiting for the time when some director and writer will FINALLY give us a really, really fabulous version.

Okay, well I agree that ...Oh no, I don't agree! Okay, well I agree that he's very attractive, but I didn't like that version of Persuasion nearly as much as the older one with the Crofts you pictured here. I didn't feel that any of the actors or actresses played the parts as well, and it just didn't feel right to me overall. I might need to re-watch it now, I guess; the first time I had really high expectations from the recommendation of a friend, and I was just so disappointed. Maybe if I re-watch it I would at least like it, if still not as much.Reading in the Darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13812641480668564435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-89369011789237138792015-07-22T20:53:45.218-04:002015-07-22T20:53:45.218-04:00You are entirely welcome, Courtney. ;DYou are entirely welcome, Courtney. ;DKarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590701834142754842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-60618824300711899792015-07-22T20:53:23.022-04:002015-07-22T20:53:23.022-04:00Hamlette: HOW CAN ONE NOT?!

Clearly I need to come visit your posts, especially if they talk about Rupert! And thanks for sharing the link. That makes me doubly excited for the Christmas movies this year!<br /><br />Persuasion is such a wonderful story, isn't it? I'm not sure how many times I've read it by now, but it definitely remains my favorite Austen. :)Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590701834142754842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-10040683761989660072015-07-22T20:47:48.187-04:002015-07-22T20:47:48.187-04:00I completely agree, Jenny! :)I completely agree, Jenny! :)Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590701834142754842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-3848749543761351702015-07-18T13:30:29.100-04:002015-07-18T13:30:29.100-04:00Thank you, Kara.
