Talkie Tuesday: Persuasion (1995)

 

"I have loved none but you."

 

Hello everyone!

 

And welcome again to yet another rendition of a favourite of mine.

 

Listen, okay, I can't help it.

 

But I'm now wondering if, after TWO successful iterations, I should risk it with the Netflix one.

 

Oh I'm sure it's fine and all but, remembering the trailer, I can honestly say it comes across as quite comedic, which this story is not and never was.

 

So I'm nervous. Can you blame me?

 

I might skip that one, because man oh man, if this isn't my favourite Jane Austen story then I don't know what to tell you. And the 1995 one doesn't disappoint, just like the 2007 one doesn't!

 

So without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, for the second time: Persuasion.

 

Talkie Tuesday: Persuasion (2007)

 

"I have loved none but you."

 

Hello everyone!

 

Terribly sorry about last week, but life just got in the way of practically EVERYTHING else, and I couldn't find either the time or the energy to write up any blog posts.

 

BUT.

 

I'm making up for that this week with a rather lovely choice, if I do say so myself, because I'm starting to realize I have different preferences regarding Jane Austen than I did while still in the throes of growing up, so to speak.

 

Don't get me wrong, Pride and Prejudice will ALWAYS be her best work, but her other novels deserve the same sort of respect, too.

 

Especially and most particularly the one I chose for tonight's blog, or its adaptation at least.

 

Bonnets out, everyone. Enter Persuasion, the 2007 version, stage right.

Just a little appreciation post <3
