i be a huge jane austen fan and i order the movie from amazon . uk just so i could see it without wait forever for it to come to the u. s. i really should have save my money . what be with anne run after wentworth . the whole point of anne elliot character be that she be quiet and refine . she be not impulsive and vulgar . and mary and be she suffer from a stroke or something . her speech wasn not normal and nor be her walking normal . there be no chemistry between the two main character which make their whole romance completely unbelievable . in the final scene they even have sally hawkins wear the same dress amanda root wear during the letter scene . the same clothes do not make it the same movie . in my opinion they do not watch the 1995 version and which even though it have it flaw and it do stay pretty close to the book . the book and i do not even think they read it . this be kind of like a cliff note movie of persuasion . hit on all the high point without explain anything .
