Propaganda...
Captain Wentworth (2007):
Can't believe Rupert Penry-Jones' Captain Wentworth is barely winning!!!! It's Wentworth - the man is half-agony half hope - writer of the most romantic letter in existence! He has lovely fun friends and you'd get great in- laws!!! He looks like Rupert Penry-Jones!!! Likes music! remembers you don't like to play cards after 8 years!!! Speeds back to his friend regardless of how hard or relentless the journey to make sure he's not on his own when he gets bad news!! Has great stories!!! He looks like Rupert Penry-Jones!!! Loves the sea!! Is Rich!!! Notices you're tired and makes sure you get the seat in the gig even when he wants to hate you!! Is so deeply in love that even after 8 years he can't get over you!! Self-made man!!! Looks like Rupert Penry Jones!!! Look at these besties!!!!

Captain Wentworth! All it takes is that one ten seconds at the end of the film where Anne tells him there’s nothing whatsoever going on between her and Mr Elliot and you can literally see hope dawning in his eyes ALONE even though his face is the same. That’s the Darcy “there is more going on here than I’m letting my face show” thing only for good and not evil! He HAS to take this thing!

Captain Wentworth (1995):
Ciaran Hinds has that perfect ruggedness yet friendliness to his face that makes him the perfect charming Wentworth. And all of the longing that he manages to convey in his eyes is so hot.
Samuel West was rather cross at being asked to read for Mr Elliot - until he learned that Captain Wentworth was being played by Ciarán Hinds.

I know that pretty much everyone agrees that the Netflix adaption of "Persuasion" was terrible, but do you have an opinion on the other adaptions? I haven't watched any of the Persuasion movies, so I was wondering which one is the best/most faithful.
My personal favourite is the 1971 BBC adaptation (you can find it free online). Once you get over the hair, it's nice that with a full mini series the story has room to breath. And lots of my favourite character, Sir Walter!

Persuasion 1995 is the most popular, it is very well acted and manages to condense the story well into movie length. I enjoyed it as well.

Persuasion 2007 is okay. I think it has the hottest Wentworth (personal preference) but it does have some flaws, most importantly, the Bath Marathon and the longest, most awkward kiss of all time. Also, implied at the end that Wentworth bought Kellynch? (literally impossible)
Tumblr media
Honestly, they are all pretty good, except for 2022...
I have not watched the webseries or any modern adaptations to my knowledge, if anyone wants to recommend those please let me know!

“You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope. Tell me not that I am too late, that such precious feelings are gone forever. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it, eight and a half years ago. Dare not say that a man forgets sooner than woman, that his love has an earlier death. I have loved none but you. Unjust I may have been, weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant.”

Half hour into the 1995 Persuasion now, and I can already see why everyone is saying that this is the superior adaptation - what’s odd though is that the 2007 version seems to have copied a number of minor alterations to the book’s plot from this earlier adaptation (the timing and staging of the young Musgrove boy’s fall and injury, for example*) rather than either keeping closer to the text or doing their own thing. Not sure how I feel about that, but as both versions are BBC productions I suppose they had the right to copy whatever they wanted.
*in the book, the boy falls from a tree in the afternoon of the day before Captain Wentworth is to dine with the Musgroves for the first time. Only Anne and Mary are home, and Mary is so upset that Anne must do all the work of sending for the apothecary, sending another servant to find Charles Musgrove and bring him home, keeping the toddler away from the injured child, comforting Mary as best she can, tending to the injured child and trying to keep him still and out of pain, and sending a message to the grandparents to let them know what’s happening. The whole family stays home with him the first night, anxious to find out if there will be any permanent spine injury, but by the following day it’s clear that only his collarbones is broken. Relieved, Charles wants to go to dinner that night but presumes Mary will want to stay with their child. Mary tries to get him to stay home with her until Anne suggests that Mary go too while she (Anne) looks after the boy, which makes Mary happy.
In both adaptations, the accident happens in the evening on the same day Wentworth is to dine. The scene starts with Anne dressing for dinner and taking extra care over her appearance as she knows Wentworth will be there, when a commotion draws Anne to the window. She sees her nephew being carried towards the house while someone shouts for help (though in the 1995 version the child is being carried by his father while Mary, walking next to them, calls desperately for Anne, while in the 2007 version the boy is in his grandfather’s arms and old Mr. Musgrove is shouting for Charles. The composition and camera angles in this shot are very similar in both versions.) We then cut to Anne tending the child while Charles and Mary argue about whether to go to dinner anyway and Anne solves it by offering to stay. Which shortens the timeline, but also presents both parents as being completely willing to abandon their child the very night of (indeed, within an hour of) the accident when they don’t yet know whether he will be paralyzed or not, instead of the next day when they’ve determined that he will recover without permanent consequences.
ETA: Also means that the accident happens after sunset, implying that the boy was climbing trees *in the dark* instead of during the day as in the book
