@AarKuNine The 1995 is my favourite, Ciaran Hinds as Wentworth is perfection. I loathe take Dakota Persuasion. They destroyed Anne's personality. They made her cheeky and funny like a Fleabag knockoff? Anne is supposed to look sad and miserable. She's not flirty, she is depressed 😔
@AarKuNine I think the age gap in S&S isn't as weird as in Emma. Seeing as Mr Knightley knew Emma since she was a child. But even then they're my favourite couple😅 I really like the Kate Beckinsale Emma and ofc the Anya Taylor Joy version.
Hm so the thing is that Austen, being stunningly brilliant, threaded the needle between two subtle things: 1)all her heroines are strong women with their own minds and wills, somewhat in defiance of society's norms at the time AND 2)a very clear value in all her work is that of upholding the standards and mores of polite society; over and over, her villains and fools commit the sin of being rude, reckless, impolite, and are punished or at least written unsympathetically for it, while those who know how to behave properly in each situation, how to move through society with grace, dignity, and the right thing to say in each setting, are portrayed with admiration and as the heroes. This is *essential* to understanding her work.
@AarKuNine I remember her from when she was still a child actress in that Disney movie Spin. Adorable. Only criticism is that more people should have been trying to date her 😂 I know she's career focused but it's NYC! She needed to be having more fun like in The Bold Type.
It's weird seeing all the baddie actresses I watched in my 20s, now being cast as the moms in teen TV shows. I'm sure the age checks out but it's still weird
