Psalm 118:6 Dear Lord, Thank you so much that you are always with me. Thank you for reminding me that I don’t need to be afraid because you’re there, watching over me. Thank you that you are far greater than anything that could happen to me in this world, and I need only trust in you. Amen 詩篇118:6 親愛なる主よ、 あなたがいつも私と共にいてくださることを心から感謝します。あなたがそこにいて、私を見守っていてくださるので、恐れる必要がないことを思い出させてくださりありがとうございます。あなたはこの世で私に起こりうるどんなことよりもはるかに偉大な方であり、私はただあなたを信じるだけでよいことを感謝します。 アーメン

I’m rather pleased with the BBC version of Persuasion despite the fact it was done in 1971.
Costumes: score 3. The costumes were nicely designed, but the fabrics were very non-authentic, which I could tell even though I’m not a designer. The fabrics were a bit dated to the 70s, which I can’t blame them for, but I don’t think they should have used fabrics that wouldn’t have been available in the 1800s, like some rather polyester-looking dress fabrics and a few jackets. There were also some rather hideous bonnets and caps.
Acting: score 4. I loved the two main actors who played Anne and Frederick. Anne especially was well-done, although the actress made Anne a little more lively than I’d have expected. The secondary characters were a bit melodramatic, but not overly so. I was very disappointed in the accident at Lyme—it was not only poorly acted by the supporting cast, it lacked any drama or urgency. However, I liked the chemistry between Frederick and Anne, especially in the later scenes.
Camera/filming: score 4. The film quality for the outdoor shots was very poor, but I can’t really blame them because this was 1971. The indoor shots were well-laid out, I thought, even if it did remind me of American soap operas.
Musical score: score 3. The score and instrumentation weren’t bad, but they didn’t use it very much at all. I think they could have used music to more advantage.
Script: score 4. Some of the pacing was a bit slow, but on a whole, I think the scriptwriter did a good job including pertinent dialogue and helping the audience understand what was going on whether they read the book or not.
Overall Score: 3.6 out of 5. I’d watch this again, I think, if I owned the DVD.
