&#8220;He&#8217;s a ten, but..&#8221; Netflix&#8217;s &#8216;Persuasion&#8217; Has left Fans Traumatized Over THIS Trend&#8217;s Inclusion In The Jane Austen Adaptation

Starring Fifty Shades of Grey star Dakota Johnson as the protagonist, Netflix’s
adaptation of Jane Austen’s Persuasion started streaming yesterday. The movie
follows Anne Elliot, daughter of a superficial aristocrat living at Kellynch
Hall. Even after belonging to a family of spendthrifts, she is more of a
sensible and compassionate person.



Written by one of the most significant novelists in English Language history,
Jane Austen, Persuasion is a challenging narrative. After several film and
television adaptations, it was a tough call to attract an audience as the story
has its moments and the difficulties it poses for authentic interpretation. Now,
this modernized representation of a classic story seemed to have cast down the
hopes of Austen fans further.


NETFLIX’S PERSUASION IS A TRANSFORMED MODERN AESTHETIC OF AUSTEN’S SUBTLE NOVEL

 

Directed by Carrie Cracknell, Persuasion arrived on Netflix in a revamped style.
The trailer and cast interviews already revealed that the movie has a modern
touch. Simpler dresses, comic stances, and changes in characters’ dialogues were
also apparent. The director herself stated the same in one of her interviews.
“We wanted to adapt this story with a version of Anne who’s incredibly
contemporary, strident, and funny,” said Cracknell.

Moreover, she said they wanted to remodel the traditional ways of the Regency
era by giving voice to Anne Elliot. For instance, we saw Dakota, aka Anne,
looking more like a contemporary young woman speaking directly to the viewers.
Unfortunately, this creative experiment with the classic novel of Jane seemed to
be despised by fans as they felt the movie had lost a crucial element, the
language because they filtered that degree of realism mixed with irony and
burlesque and made it prosaic.

Austen’s compelling writings.
