“
In Persuasion, we meet Anne Elliot (Dakota Johnson) as she describes
“
how she was persuaded to turn down a marriage proposal from the handsome
“
but penniless sailor Frederick Wentworth (Cosmo Jarvis) eight years ago.
“
Unmarried at 27, Anne refuses to marry until she falls in love again.
“
Following eight years of heartbreak though as Wentworth returns into her life, this time as a Captain
“
in the navy and with considerable wealth, in search of a wife, the past feelings come rushing back again.
“
in my opinion, Persuasion is the kind of modern-day take that will
“
either grow on you or will leave despising it altogether.
