I think most of us have felt underwhelmed after anticipating something for some time only for it to finally come and you are like "that's it?". Well...that was me after I saw this movie.

Hello and welcome to another episode of movie reviews by Kamara...stay tuned😎

Persuasion is a movie adaptation of Jane Austen's historical romance novel with the same title. It was first released last month on Netflix and the lead actress, Dakota Johnson, in my opinion, is this movie's selling point. It was directed by Carrie Cracknell and I can't say she did a great job with this film.


Synopsis

The movie centres around a young lady of ripe age, Anne Elliot, who still finds herself without a husband as a result of a past hurtful experience. She was "forced" to give up her former lover because of his lack of fortune and rank.

She had endured eight years of heartache and emotional turmoil before fate brought them together again under some circumstances. A couple of events occur and they end up together and live happily ever after.

Not much right? yeah, my thoughts exactly.

Critique

I began watching this film with some level of positive anticipation. I'd recently seen Bridgerton and the trailer of this movie promised something similar. The fact that it was a movie adaptation of a Jane Austen book made me really want to see it, so I did.

At first, I was like "hmm, okay?" then it just went downhill from there. The first thing I noticed was the very deep background loophole. All we were told is that she was forced to give up her lover but the circumstances surrounding that were very undefined and this just left me confused with the progression of events.

Her ex-lover, Fredrick Wentworth was described as dashing. Like every other person, I was expecting to see someone that fits that description. Unfortunately, he was anything but, can't think of a fitting word but it'll suffice to say that I was disappointed with the actor choice for this role.

She waited for eight years like we were told, in that time she stalked him through newspaper articles and there was no mention of his being with someone else. This leaves us speculating that in all that time he's been thinking as much of her as she was of him.

Naturally, with this type of time gap comes either of two things for supposed ex-lovers. One, pent-up emotions that explode into beautiful chemistry once they reunite or two, shrivelled up next to non-existent emotions that result in their becoming estranged even upon their reunion.

The movie implied the first option but they failed to show it. There was absolutely no chemistry between Anne and Fredrick. It would have made more sense if we weren't led to believe that they were previously madly in love with each other. Knowing that they hadn't previously met would've made my disappointment at this a little less than it is but unfortunately, it is what it is.

source

The attempts at humour and comedy in this film are laughable as they didn't even manage to make me crack a smile and I say this without any exaggeration. Some scenes were very childish and they left me wondering what they were thinking when it was being filmed.

The cast did an okay job, they weren't spectacular but they were okay. I guess if the script is shitty there isn't much else they can do about it.


Final thoughts

The one thing I liked about the film is the colour and setting. I think they did a pretty convincing 80's setting. The scenery used in the film was definitely aesthetically pleasing and despite the movie being a downer, this little detail made it not entirely a pain to watch.


source

The only thing in my opinion that can get anyone to see this movie is the lead actress, Dakota, and the trailer which was way better than the actual movie.

All this considered, I rate this movie a 4.5 out of 10.

Trailer;


Thanks for your time!❤️



Español

Creo que la mayoría de nosotros nos hemos sentido decepcionados después de anticipar algo por un tiempo solo para finalmente llegar y uno dice "¿eso es todo?". Bueno... ese era yo después de ver esta película.

Hola y bienvenidos a otro episodio de reseñas de películas de Kamara... estad atentos😎

Persuasión es una adaptación cinematográfica de la novela romántica histórica de Jane Austen con el mismo título. Se estrenó por primera vez el mes pasado en Netflix y, en mi opinión, la actriz principal, Dakota Johnson, es el punto de venta de esta película. Fue dirigida por Carrie Cracknell y no puedo decir que hizo un gran trabajo con esta película.


Sinopsis

La película se centra en una joven de edad madura, Anne Elliot, que todavía se encuentra sin marido como resultado de una experiencia dolorosa del pasado. Se vio "obligada" a renunciar a su antiguo amante debido a su falta de fortuna y rango.

Ella había soportado ocho años de angustia y confusión emocional antes de que el destino los reuniera nuevamente bajo algunas circunstancias. Ocurren un par de eventos y terminan juntos y viven felices para siempre.

No mucho ¿verdad? sí, mis pensamientos exactamente.

Crítica

Empecé a ver esta película con cierto nivel de anticipación positiva. Recientemente había visto a Bridgerton y el tráiler de esta película prometía algo similar. El hecho de que fuera una adaptación cinematográfica de un libro de Jane Austen me dio muchas ganas de verlo, así que lo hice.

Al principio, yo estaba como "hmm, ¿de acuerdo?" luego todo fue cuesta abajo desde allí. Lo primero que noté fue la laguna de fondo muy profunda. Todo lo que nos dijeron es que se vio obligada a renunciar a su amante, pero las circunstancias que la rodeaban eran muy indefinidas y esto me dejó confundido con la progresión de los eventos.

Su ex amante, Fredrick Wentworth, fue descrito como apuesto. Como cualquier otra persona, esperaba ver a alguien que encajara en esa descripción. Desafortunadamente, fue todo lo contrario, no puedo pensar en una palabra adecuada, pero será suficiente decir que me decepcionó la elección del actor para este papel.


fuente

Esperó durante ocho años como nos dijeron, en ese tiempo lo acechó a través de artículos de periódicos y no se mencionó que él estuviera con otra persona. Esto nos deja especulando que en todo ese tiempo él ha estado pensando tanto en ella como ella en él.

Naturalmente, con este tipo de intervalo de tiempo viene una de dos cosas para los supuestos ex amantes. Uno, emociones reprimidas que explotan en una hermosa química una vez que se reúnen o dos, se arrugan junto a emociones inexistentes que resultan en que se alejen incluso después de su reunión.

La película implicaba la primera opción pero no la mostraron. No había absolutamente ninguna química entre Anne y Fredrick. Habría tenido más sentido si no nos hubieran hecho creer que anteriormente estaban locamente enamorados el uno del otro. Saber que no se habían conocido previamente habría hecho que mi decepción por esto fuera un poco menor de lo que es, pero desafortunadamente, es lo que es.

fuente

Los intentos de humor y comedia en esta película son risibles ya que ni siquiera lograron sacarme una sonrisa y lo digo sin exagerar. Algunas escenas eran muy infantiles y me dejaron pensando en lo que estaban pensando cuando se estaba filmando.

El elenco hizo un buen trabajo, no fueron espectaculares pero estuvieron bien. Supongo que si el guión es una mierda, no hay mucho más que puedan hacer al respecto.


Reflexiones finales

Lo único que me gustó de la película es el color y el escenario. Creo que hicieron una ambientación de los 80 bastante convincente. El escenario utilizado en la película fue definitivamente estéticamente agradable y, a pesar de que la película fue decepcionante, este pequeño detalle hizo que no fuera del todo doloroso verla.


fuente

En mi opinión, lo único que puede hacer que alguien vea esta película es la actriz principal, Dakota, y el tráiler, que fue mucho mejor que la película real.

Considerando todo esto, califico esta película con un 4.5 de 10.

Remolque;


¡Gracias por tu tiempo!❤️

I have read a lot of bad reviews of this movie. I really want to see it, I like the actress and the photography and costumes catch my attention. But most of them agree that the movie is bad. I'm going to risk to see it XD

Risks are adventurous lol so I totally support you. I mean you've read all the bad reviews already so what could possibly go wrong?
I'll hope you'll write a review on it too. I'd like to know your thoughts and see if you agree with all the bad press the movie is getting.

Another romance movie in the mud!😅 You already know that I normally wouldn’t see a romance movie but I would have considered see this one because of the setting and color. Dakota is cool but the actor that would have really made me want to see this film is Henry Golding. Oh well, I guess I’ll just not waste my time on it now.

Finally! Someone that has read this review and wants to steer clear from the film. Every other person wants to see the film despite the not so great review😪.

Yea I know, romance isn't you thing...or is it? 'wiggles eyebrows'😂. I'm not sure I know Henry Golding though but oh well 🤷.

Thank you for heeding my advice and not wasting your time 😊

Hahaha that is so not just it! I'm definitely going to see this movie... Persuasion is all over the movie and even persuading me to go see it 😅

I'm not quite acquainted with the characters, another interesting thing for me to really see it and get acquainted to check for new favourites in the movie industry.

Well reviewed girl but lemme see it first before I side with you on it 😝

You just like seeing movies that have bad reviews I don't know why 😂😂

Dakota Johnson is the girl from fifty shades of gray, have you seen it? I think that's the movie that made her popular.

Please go and see it o, I'm almost completely certain that your review won't be far off from mine😁

You just like seeing movies that have bad reviews

Can you lemme alone? 😂😂 Is e your like?

Well, I haven't seen that movie as well as I don't know the character but I will when I see this movie 🙂

Please go and see it o

See confidence nau 😅😂

Okay okay, you have been left alone 😂😂

It's no problem. Fifty shades is a classic, it's very surprising that you haven't seen it before sha.
It has three parts; fifty shades of grey, fifty shades darker and fifty shades freed. It's also based on a book but I can't remember the author's name.

See confidence nau 😅😂

Yes na, why not?😌

Hmm I guess I have more movies to see, thanks to you
I can't be the only one that haven't seen this one 🥲

True. There are probably other people out there, who I don't know, that haven't seen the movie either lol

Yeah that's true but I want to leave that group 🥲

Rather than always watching what people like, sometimes I'm curious about what they don't like. Like @jcrodriguez, I'll take a risk and try it 🤣.

😂😂 it's no problem at all. We humans and our curiosity lol. I can't wait to read your own thoughts on the movie...I hope you write a review too🤞🥰

Hola, he escuchado demasiado de esta película y no he tenido el tiempo para verla porque sinceramente siempre termino escogiendo otra cosa, tu post me ha gustado mucho ha sido muy sincero y parcial.

Saludos ❤️

Me alegra que te haya gustado mi publicación. Realmente no te has perdido mucho ya que la película fue mucho menos de lo que esperaba, pero siempre puedes verla también para formar tu propia opinión al respecto.

Muchas gracias por pasarte 🥰
