JANE IN JUNE - REWATCHING PERSUASION (1995-2007)


OR

1995 or 2007? Amanda Root or Sally Hawkins? Ciaràn Hinds or Rupert Penry-Jones?



Which one in each pair do you prefer?

I honestly refuse to choose 'cause I liked them all -  though in a different way.

Read my post on My Jane Austen Book Club for the Jane in June event.

    Oh, hard choice! I also enjoy both adaptations of "Persuasion" for different reasons. (Although I think RPJ is the hottest Capt. Wentworth!:D)

    I prefer the 1995 Persuasion for almost every reason. The only thing I actually liked in the 2007 version was the very end, where we see Wentworth presents Ann with her house as a wedding present. That was fitting, I thought.

    I adore the newer version of Persuasion...the '95 one has never held my interest, I must confess.

    Rupert Penry-Jones rules! Who else could play such smouldering and enigmatic Captain Wentworth? Ciao bella. C'e' il sole qui! A.

    When you were writing this I was preparing a Persuasion mashup, in which I address this very question. I much prefer the 1995 version, but have to give it to Rupert Perry-Jones as the better Wentworth (and I love Ciarin Hinds, so this is saying a lot). His struggle is so tangibly written on his face! A masterful performance!

    I vastly prefer the 1995 retelling with Ciarin Hinds as Wentworth and Amanda Root as Anne. I love her growth throughout the film, she really seems to blossom at the end. I HATE the mad sprint at the end of the 2007 Persuasion. The movie should have been a bit longer in my opinion . . .
