This time, it was also guessed from the beginning (in fact, it is certain, but it is not so certain without the book) that Anne will be with Wentworth, together. However, I didn't expect that the plot would be so complicated, and the heroine was much braver (compared to Austen's other works).
There is some gap between Annie and Wentworth. First, identity, status. Although it was not important, Annie and her father cared very much. Ordinary girls, if they are not so rebellious, may not consider whether it is possible. But Anne wasn't that obedient after all, at least not until she became a leftover girl, because she was engaged to Wentworth (because I didn't read the book, so I don't know what happened, but it's a secret for sure). Secondly, the difference in appearance, wealth and psychological gap when we meet again. When Annie met Wentworth again, she not only let herself down, but many in the audience. We thought she would be well groomed. She planned it that way, but, uh, the sky is not what people want. When they met again, they seemed to have changed roles, one was "high above" and the other was humbled into the dust. No one is optimistic, and no one will think of their relationship, except for themselves.
There have also been misunderstandings between the hero and heroine. Anne thought Wentworth and Louisa were going to get married, and Wentworth thought Anne was going to marry her cousin (just like Eleanor misunderstood Edward in Sense and Sensibility). Fortunately, Austin never let the misunderstanding bring substantial harm, but the hero and heroine were more sure of their emotions and full of joy of "lost and found" love.
The film's analysis of the characters' emotions is really good and special. Especially the scene where Annie and Wentworth were hiding from the rain, the whole screen was just their awkward faces, which made me embarrassed and didn't know what to say next. Although he was embarrassed, he liked this scene very much. Maybe he would confess in the next second? Or did she show her mind? But the focus is always a little before the end, and I can only watch this love-filled scene with hope.
However, there are several close-ups of the heroine's face, or rather, the eyes, in the movie. The heroine stared straight at the camera, and at that moment, I was definitely out of the show. I always feel that the female protagonist's straight eyes show that she is very confident, and she knows that she wants to be with the male protagonist.
Every time I read Austen's works, I always feel so beautiful: Why does the male protagonist always love the female protagonist? Persuasion especially wanted me to shout out this question. In the end, I can only comfort myself. The part where they were more affectionate before must have been omitted from the movie. Despite being "unintelligible", I still like this ending. Still Austin. You can use the happy ending to make people forget the Austin of the plot.
