okay and if you discount the production value and the ugly outfit and and the big hair and this adaptation be still far inferior to the 90 version . first ann firbank ( play anne elliot ) and be literally ten year too old to play this role and her act leaf much to be desire . amanda root ( play the same role in the 90 version ) can express more in her big and brown eye than firbank can with her entire face in a four hour production . anne be turn into a peevish and whining and boring character ( and what be with the scene during the ` long walk where she stop to spout off poetry . ) . henrietta and louisa look so much alike that the only time i could tell them apart be when they stand next to each other ( henrietta be taller ) . and louisa . never be there a more obnoxious character . it be ridiculous to think that wentworth be suppose to be interested in her . she be suppose to be high spirit and pretty and charm and not stupid and silly with her ridiculous laugh that like nail on a chalkboard . when she start to chant and ` to lyme and to lyme and to lyme and i start yell and hut up and shut up and shut up . the best part of the movie be when louisa fall those three foot at the cobb because i know i wouldn not have to see her anymore in the movie . speaking of the fall at the cobb scene while it be the mose poorly act and badly direct and edit scene of the entire film . how do a person fall three foot down and land on her foot and and still be knock unconscious . on the plus size and the character of elizabeth be much close to the book than in the 90 version . they also put in many more scene with anne and frederick at the end . i will admit and i have buy this movie and even though i know how sub par it be and but i be a huge austen fan and so i will buy any movie adapt from one of her novel . watch this move if youre morbidly curious and or to appreciate the 90 version even more . the bottom line be and this version may follow the letter of the novel and but the 90 version follow the spirit .
