Maybe the dialogue was dumbed down because Miss Johnson could not say the actual dialogue Miss Austen wrote.
Being woke destroys the audience engaging in a suspension of disbelief.
I knew this was going to be awful when Netflix described Anne as a “non-conforming woman,” as if.
And ever photo they had showed her grinning like an idiot, as if Anne were a happy heroine, instead of forlorn and grieving for most of the book.
My second favorite Jane Austen novel after Pride and Prejudice. I probably won’t watch this movie if it’s so unlike the book. The movie version with Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds was good.
If our civilization is going to turn around, I believe we will need a “trend” in which people aspire to be very formal, very proper, very controlled in their behavior. A true Victorian approach to relations between gentlemen and ladies. The lower classes should adopt such behavior in an effort to improve their station, and the upper classes should adopt such behavior as a duty to society and to demonstrate that they deserve their lot in life.
Dumbing down Jane Austen is a sign that we are very far from what I dream of. Going in the wrong direction there, dude.
I can’t even imagine her playing in this.
Subtlety is paramount in this play
Austen would be annoyed!
wokeness is a cancer
Netflix.

WTH did Jane Austen fans expect?!
This sort of fits with the recent series, Dickinson, where Hailey Steinfeld played a very work, modern speaking version of Emily Dickinson. I liked the Dickinson treatment but it was woke and sort of out there, however it motivated me to explore the work of Ms Dickinson. I understand that modernizing classic lit is not always a good thing but keeping young people interested in lit and reading is a good thing.
Let me guess. More interracial propaganda brought to you by Netflix & the Obama trannies?
Oh horrors I feel the vapors coming on ...
“...the movie adaptation uses modern phrases...”
Will there be “liberal” use of pronouns?
