Corin Redgrave as Sir Walter Elliot = absolutely perfect!
That is such a good movie.
The movie about Peter Rabbits creator ‘Miss Potter’ was a bit wokey too ...
Translation: She's a lesbo.

“... I believe we will need a “trend” in which people aspire to be very formal, very proper, very controlled in their behavior.”
This is probably the reason some of us are still royal watchers (mainly the British royal family, but there are others). Some of them may not behave well all the time in their personal lives, but they usually appear publicly well-groomed, well-dressed and well-mannered. It makes a nice change from all the tacky celebrity/famous people dreck we are bombarded with.
My wife is a huge Jane Austen fan, but she did not like the 1995 version of Persuasion. She did like the films of Sense & Sensibility (1995), Emma (1995) and Pride & Prejudice (2005 film and 1995 miniseries). We have reached a point in which filmmakers cannot be relied upon to faithfully adapt these stories.
Love the newer version with Sally Hawkins and Rupert Penny-Jones, but the BEST version - IMHO - is the 1995 Persuasion with Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds. Most excellently cast!
Won’t even bother with this latest and especially since it’s Netflix.
Has your wife seen Bride and Prejudice (2004)? The Bollywood version of P&P. Some might think it sacrilege but I thought it was fun.
Movie, the one with Ciaran Hinds
I have this movie on a dvd which Hubby and I will watch on occasion. I like this version very much.
We’ll take a look at that one.
