Not perfection, but pretty good

At first, I didn't really like this adaptation. They left out some of my favorite parts from the book, and I was outraged. But I gave it another chance and began to see more positive things in it. They did have to delete scenes to get this film compacted into 90 minutes ,but I think, overall, they captured the book well. The music is excellent, and I think it shows the loneliness and anxiety that Anne is experiencing. I liked Anne's journaling scenes--it makes you feel like you really know her. And Captain Wentworth is rather fetching, after all.
