let's talk about netflix's persuasion

I do want to jump on the hate bandwagon over Netflix's newest adaptation of Persuasion, a literal masterpiece by no other than Jane Austen.

There are exactly two things that really tick me off (alright that may be a lie, there are many things I didn't like about the movie, but still, I can understand the changes to appeal to newer audiences), so I'll try to be concise:

The girl boss-ification of Anne Elliot. I get it, we all want to see a 'strong, independent, girl boss' female protagonist be in charge of her own life, but to anyone who's read the book, they know Anne Elliot is the total opposite. She's been persuaded (hence the name) her entire life to do what others wanted her to do, for them. Anne Elliot is no Emma Woodhouse or Lizzy Bennet; Anne Elliot is the introverted, kind, selfless, feminine, tormented heroine, that a lot of people in this world are. These people deserve to be the main character too without having to become the 'not-like-other-girls' girl that has ruled these past decades' media. Let Anne Elliot be Anne Elliot.

The non-existent slow burn between Anne and Captain Wentworth. These two share a past, they almost got married almost a decade ago before Anne was persuaded not to due to his lack of title and wealth. We see her regret that decision every day, even before he comes back. And when he does, there is this thick air around them constantly, because nobody but them knows about their history, and Captain Wentworth internally struggles with his own feelings (he's bitter and arrogant and has the clear intention of moving on yet he's desperately and silently still in love with Anne). Most of the novel is literally them pining after the other, with longing looks across the room and very few interactions. But it's those interactions that indicate their love for each other. Arguably, one of my favorite moments between the two is when he helps her up on the carriage: he wordlessly hoists her up and she's left thinking about that for days. It's the first public display of affection, or at least, positive recognition of each other's existence. It's the little moments, the daily-life acts of service that show the type of domestic love they crave. And it really sucks that the movie feels empty without them.

I think that's all for now. I've seen many interesting video essays about this that I can link if anybody's interested, but yeah, I just wanted to add a couple of things to the mix. Jane Austen is my absolute favorite author, and it just felt like the movie didn't do the book justice.

The Harder They Come

Book by Suzan-Lori Parks, songs by Suzan-Lori Parks and Jimmy Cliff

Co-Dir. Sergio Trujillo

Dir. Tony Taccone

The Public Theatre, 2023

Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and The Public’s Writer-in-Residence, Suzan-Lori Parks, brings to The Public a new musical adaptation of the 1972 movie, THE HARDER THEY COME. Celebrating its 50th anniversary, the breakthrough film, produced and directed by Perry Henzell and co-written with Trevor Rhone, tells the story of Ivan, a young singer who arrives in Kingston, Jamaica, eager to become a star. After falling in love and cutting a record deal with a powerful music mogul, Ivan soon learns that the game is rigged, and as he becomes increasingly defiant, he finds himself in a battle that threatens not only his life, but the very fabric of Jamaican society.

Mary Ann Johnson, 54: Disappeared From L.A. In 1994

In 1994, Mary Ann Johnson left her job at a department store and vanished. What happened to the 54-year-old is a mystery.

For decades, the missing person case involving Mary Ann Johnson has gone unsolved. According to reports, the 54-year-old may have run into trouble, but what kind remains a mystery. It’s said that just a few days before Christmas in 1994, the 54-year-old was threatened by men hired to break her legs. Three men told Mary Ann they were paid $800 to harm her. However, they decided to pocket the…

Persuasion 2022 makes me want to visit Jane Austen’s grave and apologise

So here’s a compilation of hilariously scathing reviews. Enjoy!

-Clarisse Loughrey

How exactly does the line, “it is said if you’re a five in London, you’re a 10 in Bath”, improve on Austen’s work or make it any more palatable to modern audiences? Or what about the comments on being “an empath” and focusing on “self-care”?

When Anne is reunited with Wentworth (Cosmo Jarvis), the man she once rejected, Austen writes: “Now they were as strangers; nay, worse than strangers, for they could never become acquainted. It was a perpetual estrangement.” In the film? We get: “We are strangers. Worse than strangers. We’re exes.”

There’s nothing here that seems to drive her [Crackell’s] work (...) beyond the directive of capitalising on current trends. This is exactly what happens when art becomes a brand exercise.

There’s not even an attempt to be accurate here – Marianne Agertoft‘s costumes only look like Regency dress if you’d somehow been led to believe that the pages of this month’s Tatlermagazine had been shot out of a time machine. And, as much as I am loath to defend Bridgerton, the Netflix production Persuasion clearly modelled itself after, its anachronisms at least feel carefully chosen in order to give the series a poppy irreverence.

You can’t help but think what Austen would make of all this. She was nearly 40 when she wrote Persuasion, inches away from her deathbed. Anne’s pain in the novel is sharp, laced with the fear that she’s reached a point in life where she’s outrun every last opportunity, most especially for love. How do you absorb all of that feeling, only to give us an Anne who sighs performatively after she knocks a vessel of gravy on her head and boasts about dancing to Beethoven alone in her room “with a bottle of red”? How would the latter even happen in an era before record players?

- x - x - x - - x - x - x -

Austen should be allowed a chance at the Instagram generation. But the frozen expression on romantic lead Cosmo Jarvis’s face throughout speaks louder than any review. (He can relax: one of the few things that can be said about this film with certainty is that it will be forgotten quickly.)

- x - x - x - - x - x - x -

- Patrick Cremona

It all seems so forced and deliberate, more annoying and jarring than it is charming or inventive.

Then there are the frequent fourth-wall-breaking monologues, which start early on and continue to arrive at all too regular intervals throughout the runtime – with Alice providing a near-constant running commentary on the action, one that's neither witty nor insightful enough to be worth its while. It all allows a certain archness to take hold, a smugness that gets in the way of any emotional sincerity.

For the most part, it just feels rather drab and half-hearted, breezing along easily enough without ever injecting any real pizzazz into proceedings.

All this ensures the film commits one of cinema's cardinal sins – frankly, it's a little bit boring.

- x - x - x - - x - x - x -

In other words, the film’s Anne, unlike Austen’s quivering and stifled introvert, is that rom-com mainstay, the manic pixie dream girl, an ostensibly smart and capable woman whose klutziness and all-round-adorability ensures she’s completely non-threatening.

Sad but true, she (Dakota Johnson) is upstaged by the wallpaper on several occasions.

The famous ’letter scene’ is shrug-worthy. The final kiss moved me not.

- x - x - x - - x - x - x -

It’s set in the early 19th century, not remotely of Austen, but of Bridgerton, the success of which has unfortunately convinced Netflix that anything goes. Imagine flaunting an antique copy of the novel in a full-cosplay selfie, but holding it upside down.

Meanwhile, the dialogue perpetrates five war crimes per minute.

The way Michell finessed the most autumnal of Austen’s works, with Amanda Root cast to perfection, set a gold standard. This takes a flailing leap, but it’s neither audacious enough to commit to a singular vision, nor shrewd enough to get the novel right. It nosedives between two stools and never gets up.

- x - x - x - - x - x - x -

It is like an Austen amuse bouche — an entry-level cover version that tries to rev up the humor and speak directly to Gen Z by using its lingo — or at least an advertising executive's idea of what Gen Z sounds like.

-Lindsey Bahr

Instead, viewers get brief snippets of Anne’s internal character conflict and her yearning for Wentworth. By extension, Wentworth is always shafted and his character falls short due to the comedic tone of the film. Anne and Wentworth have clumsy and awkward exchanges that feature the sort of delivery you’d expect from an episode of The Office as opposed to a romance about healing the wounds of two heartbroken people.

Characters are constantly espousing modern beliefs. “A woman without a husband is not a problem to be solved,” says one sagely, greeted with a wry smile by Anne. Except that in 1817, unmarried women faced ridicule, lack of social agency and destitution, something Anne and Austen knew all too well. By removing Austen’s thematic concerns – class, spinsterhood, the questionable power of persuasion – there are simply no real barriers to Anne and Wentworth’s reunion. Indeed, it’s hard to see how this spirited person could be persuaded to do anything. With such low stakes, the film crawls along without momentum.

I’m all for modernising the classics (see 2020’s Emma for Austen with an injection of over-the-top fun) but this one can’t decide if it’s trying to amuse or edify and consequently does neither. Bring back Bridgerton, please.

- Francesca Steele

Sadly Persuasion, not only the worst Austen adaptation but one of the worst movies in recent memory, delivers on all the agony and none of the hope.

The filmmakers have served up a soggy mess of limp rom-com clichés that does a disservice not only to Austen but to all her contemporary inheritors, from Cher Horowitz to Bridget Jones. As played by Dakota Johnson, the novel’s heroine Anne Elliot, a lovelorn, bookish, self-effacing woman on the cusp of spinsterhood, becomes an insufferably coy scatterbrain who speaks in 21st-century buzzwords

There is updating classic literature to bring it in tune with modern sensibilities, and then there is insulting the viewer’s intelligence. Persuasion’s endlessly attempts to pander to young audiences presumed incapable of understanding any message not conveyed via Instagram hashtag

Unfortunately, as played by Cosmo Jarvis, Wentworth is also something of a lifeless sad sack. His pining for Anne is believable enough, but his character is so thinly written that it’s hard to see whatever qualities induced her to spend eight years pining for him.

In this movie, eligible men are mostly nattily attired scarecrows on which to hang romantic longing.

The fine shadings of social class that drive the novel’s conflict are mostly lost in this translation to the screen. The presence of Black, Asian, and mixed-race actors in the cast at first feels refreshing, but any intended social commentary is lost in the script’s thematic muddle.

it’s hard to overstate what unpleasant company Johnson’s Anne Elliot is. She performatively chugs red wine straight from the bottle, goes everywhere cuddling a never-explained pet rabbit, and interrupts one stodgy teatime with an extended and charmless non sequitur about a recurring dream that an octopus is sucking her face.

she (Austen) describes Anne and Wentworth’s long-ago affair as “a short period of exquisite felicity.” The only such moment afforded by Persuasion is when the closing credits finally start to roll.

-Dana Stevens

#persuasion 2022 #dakota johnson #cosmo jarvis #henry golding #you poor man #not a terrible performance though #Mary and Louisa Musgrove #were also pretty good #was I the only one who expected Wentworth to be more dashing and charming tho #He's a naval captain and a hero right #Like more of a younger Brad Pitt / Tom Hardy kinda way #Anne and him had one of the smallest hero-heroine age gaps of any couple in Austenland #Plus he's the only one who's described as attractive enough to get women solely based on his looks #And Dakota Johnson's way to young and pretty looking given that Anne was kinda depressed and was supposed to have lost 'the bloom of youth'#Henry golding would have been a way better Wentworth #At least he had charisma #and he and Anne seemed far better matched than her and Wentworth - which is the exact opposite of what's supposed to e happening!
