They used the 4th wall as a way to convey her direct diary writings, as they didn't want to just show her writing in the books. So, she is talking straight from her diary to the audience. A brilliant idea. So, it's not just using the 4th wall as a "humor" thing, but a way for her to speak from the diary.
That's because she sees women as worthy of respect, as equals, not as some creature to be 'won' and conquered, then discarded after the 'act' is done... Men too often see women (esp. young, pretty women) as purely sexual objects, for their gratification (emboldened by our male-dominated society). And the more shy you are, the more aggressive they are. Horrible.
The women must've felt secure with her, yet she was rather manly and charming. This is as close to flirtation they could get without causing a scandal.
I find it amazing that she stayed true to her Christian faith--even going so far as to take communion and swear on a Bible to solemnise her marriage to Miss Ann Walker--while being a die-hard lesbian. I like people who can remain true to their faith and convictions while being gay. It actually had me thanking God that there was a positive example of a gay Christian where the person wasn't internally tortured or struggling to reconcile their faith while also holding true to their sexuality. As a gay Catholic, myself, who holds the same convictions as Miss Lister and the selfsame integration of faith and sexuality, I just feel happy and gladdened to have this identifiable role model for myself.
The Protestant faith (United Church of Christ specificities) is very openly accepting gays- my mom’s church has had 2 gay pastors in a row and the rainbow is flag permanently raised! 👍🌈
To be charming is a skill. Everyone can get to this level with confidence in yourself, hunger for self improvement no matter what your passion is, and curiosity for people and their lives.
True Dat! I would love for Sarah Lancashire do Gentleman Jack now that it's cancelled. I was telling US Soap Fans how alot of Shows featured on Masterpiece (PBS) in the US have had UK Soap Alumnae. I just discovered Last Tango In Halifax. Boy what a late discovery. I loved it.
"Good Lord, I've been here four hours, how did that happen?" Anyone who has ever fallen head over heels in love with someone can relate with that amazing feeling: you just can't never get enough of that person!!
They used that technique to convery her directly sharing her diary entries with the audience, rather than just showing her writing. A way for her to speak her diary directly to viewers.
I have no clue why it tickles me so when she raises her eyebrow @ 5:02 it is everything and hilarious cuz I feel like the mom in that scene expected a different answer
That finale was everything. For once a season finale that ends on a good note and doesnt just have shit hit the fan right before it ends. They left enough to get us interested for the second season but also gave us what we have been wanting this season.
Ugh, watching these videos makes me realize how unsophisticated we speak nowadays 😂😂 It makes sense, of course, why the structure of how we speak had to change. (Ain't nobody got time to speak so drawn out) But words given more thought always seem to be so beautiful in my eyes. Anyone agree??? Am I the only one???
Definitely! But I'm pretty sure english is still better than my language (german). It's naturally not the most beautiful language 😅 but what my generation makes out of it these days... 🤢
@@blackphoenix_02 I'm German too but I like our language. It was the language of Goethe and Schiller, the laguage of the poets and thinkers. Of course English is beautiful and softer, but German is beautiful too :) Hihi schönen Tag dir noch 😁
And people in Listers time thought that the youngsters were ruining english as well. It's been a thing since writing that older generations complained about the younger ones. Just look at language change with awe: how we can mold and make something everyone uses our own. To fit our needs, circumstances and circles. It's ingenious how many different ways we can string sounds together and still make sense. Language change is an awesome thing, and shows just how inventious we as a species are. Also about the nobody got time to draw things out: we do, but only in writing. Chat messages are way longer and so are letters. Chat messages because of ease of use, letters are we tend to use them more spareingly and put more effort into it. Quite interstign actually. Since younger people send longer text messages than older people.
Every time she dose something charming I get butterflies in my stomach And since she’s charming all the time, you can imagine how every time I see the show theres always swarms of butterflies
*At first it was Shane from the L word, then Frankie from Lip Service, followed by Frankie from Wentworth.. but I'd trade them ANY day for Anne Lister ...*
Nah I find Anne much more attractive than the others listed the first three are all very similar but Anne lister breaks the mold she’s charming and dapper and refine, she doesn’t appear to have the destructive qualities that the other three have and she’s actually not that much of a player compared to the others who are notorious womanisers who can’t hold down a relationship
...I can't get enough...ahhh' 😣😬😬😬💜...I adore the Wit of writing, how she glances at us from time to time...her charm, why can't we all meet someone like this? huh? (just sublime) 😍
After discovering who Anne Lister was, she has become an idol of mine through and through! She has become this staple of my mindset and I am rather found of her story. She was steadfast in her self and allowed no one to entice her to doubt who she was. Her faith in her self gives way to a greater understanding of the fortitude she had. Her mind was that of a scholar and her humor was memorable!
There was a fourth wall-breaking moment when Ann asks Anne where she's looking at and it immediately reminded me of Fleabag when she's also looking at the camera and the Priest asks where she'd gone
You know that Virginia Woolf novel 'Orlando'. There's a movie based on it in which Tilda Swinton played Orlando, a gentleman who then turns into a lady, over the course of many centuries without ageing a whole lot. I feel that Suranne Jones would be perfect for that role, if they ever made a remake. I'd watch the heck out of it, and I am positive I am not alone.
I'm reading her biography with decrypted passages from her diary. She's awesome actually - learned lady, very curious (anatomy and things) and is a great shot/swordswoman. (Although her coded language makes me chuckle "bring about a cross" (masturbate to orgasm) and "going to Italy" (having sexual relations).)
When Anne Lister gave Ann Walker The Pin it evokes Memories of how in the 1950's Fraternity Boys in College would give their Girlfriend their Fraternity Pin which meant they were going Steady, then they would get engaged, and then "Married" but they never have their Happily Ever After or they would break up. Anne Lister was just too much visiting Ann Walker's Aunt, it was like she was "asking" to Court her. Anne Lister is so smart, an intellect, I would have been proud to have spent the day with her or go Shopping or Tea.
I had to tell you as such a secret. I would wish to be her wife. I don't think or myself as a modern Lesbian. Perhaps, I am. Wish me luck, on my discovery journey!!
I know AL was supposed to sound smooth, bu AW doesn't look invalid, just overly sheltered...so it even sound about right. Though if somrone would have given me such a line I would have tolled my eyes.
Looking at the bigger picture you can see how Society has cast such a Negative umbrella over sexuality. You can't just fall in love. You must love who they/we want you to love.

Comments: 60% lesbian/bi thirst, 20% confused straight(ish) thirst, 20% taking notes on her skills
Two out of three ;)
I'm the confused straight
Yeah, nope. Some of us came to check out the reports of excellent performances, and stayed long enough to be repulsed.
@@DP-jy2ge what's wrong with the performances?
Fantastic acting. I don't even know who this woman is and have never heard of her. I came across this video by accident. She is great!
She's not just leaning on the fourth wall, she's flirting with it.
Oh Goddess, yes, she is so ssjxjxjddjjfjfjdjfhdnchxbdidcksnskxjxnd j can't breath
Same! Every time I almost die
One of the most endearing and quirky features of the series. Glad to see they will be keeping that up in season 2!

I love how her ex names her child after her
Naitri Patel what a power top

BAHAHA wow love that

That's so gay
Suranne Jones... I want her in every show now, come to think, I believe she would make a pretty awesome Doctor Who.
*lesbian Doctor Who
@@aelyn2909 Now you're talking, someone call Chibs
She's already the Doctor's wife 😊
@@kaydb42 yeah, but now I can't get out of my head the idea of her being the doctor.
She'd be better than jodie tbh. Love jodie but living wuth chibs after one season sneaky af.
Anne's charm was so powerful it's travelling through time, seducing women to this day.
The women must've felt secure with her, yet she was rather manly and charming. This is as close to flirtation they could get without causing a scandal.
Yes. Good point. Thanks for sharing it.
Everytime she looks at the camera........my heart ❤️......wufffffd
Aaaa yes
Love those looks to the camera ! I think it goes back to the Elizabethan period of acting, but maybe later. At any rate, the techniigue is not new.
Me too, really! Is so strange, so charm same time, she acting with the eyes.
@@stargazer6753 They used the technique to demonstrate words directly from her diaries, rather than just showing her writing in the diary.
At 2:18 when she grabs her hand and then rubs it on her leg is such a masculine move-she’s a very intriguing mix of masculine and feminine!
Goodbye Girl1 I had to go back and re-play. Good catch!
Swoon I loved that move. My wife does that, I love her for it!

Hail Satan.
To be charming is a skill. Everyone can get to this level with confidence in yourself, hunger for self improvement no matter what your passion is, and curiosity for people and their lives.
I do hope so. I read somewhere that confidence comes from what you can do and what you know, not from mind tricks.

Absolutely no one:
Suranne Jones: looks directly at camera

Totally.
yesss
I love the way she talks, the way she dresses, I want to be her

I like how she always breaks the fourth wall haha
That little eyebrow waggle

I have never met a woman that literally can flirt so hard to make a straight woman think her sexuality 😂😂 yall Suranne Jones played this part AMAZING
Tell me. Is there any other actress that could play this role any better than Suranne Jones!?! By the end of S1 she's captivated us all.🎩💕
She's perfect for the role
I was thinking of Raquel Cassidy would do something similar but Jones... hooo boy!!!! Jones is amazing 🧐🌹💕🔥
By the end of SCENE one she had me captivated lmao
“we fall in love, aren’t we lucky to be alive to have life in every tiny moment... an inexplicable delight packed with potential”.
The thing that gets me every time is her attentiveness and how gentle she is with Ann.
Her confidence and attitude is what makes my heart full.
Suranne deserves all prizes, her performance is fantastic
Who is here trying to learn how to flirt with girls being a girl?
You need an Aries to be friends woth...it's in our nature to be charming
Me
taking notes as we speak
Step one become Ann Lister
@@bobbigrabe9252 LMAO my thought exactly was that Anne Lister was Aries af... as an Aries myself my flirting game is nowhere near this level though 😂
She’s soft, charming AND KNOWS HOW TO FIGHT EITH A SWORD?!.? I’m sold
Is there any woman who doesn’t fall in love with Gentle Jack? Thank you for these tidbits.
That smile she gives Henry at 3:03... my heart just bursts!
I have no clue why it tickles me so when she raises her eyebrow @ 5:02 it is everything and hilarious cuz I feel like the mom in that scene expected a different answer
If "big top energy" was a person it's definitely Anne Lister

I'd like another video with only Lister exiting coaches and walking determinedly!
When she looks right into the camera i become a little schoolgirl jesus christ
It simply was the most incredible, tour de force performance from Suranne Jones! Hoping there will be a new series!!
i freaking love this show

Amazing , but ita sad because apparently during a trip to europe she gets a virus and dies but whatva woman and she found happiness with anne
I love gentleman jack best show ever

What a wife 🥰
love this character!
Have you noticed that when Anne mentions "going to Italy" Ann smiles? That is because according to Lister's journal "going to Italy" meant sex 😅
Doctor Who vibes
Good job
I still don't know if I want to be her or marry her
“Mmm”
My legs are shaking
If it was today, Lister would have a lesbian cult following! Love the video.
0:47 my favourite
Whoo! Fan me pleez!! Damn! I did not expect this video to have me feeling this way! 😄 frfr i have been wanting to see this show but i dont have hbo.
First time learning about this show and it looks real good. I like this actress. Her face is wonderful, reminds me of the face of the girl I'm crushing on, at the moment. Anyway, I'm interested! Only thing is, I thought Lister was alive during the Regency period? This is not period-appropriate costumes... well, whatever. I'll take it.
The Regency period was 1811 - 1820 and this plays in 1832 - 34 😊
@schnitzel Oh...I didn't know that but that makes sense now. It's just that from Lister's portrait painting, she does seem to be dressed in Regency dress aka the empire waist. Like I said, though, who cares!
@@jitkasuarez That portrait was painted during the Regency Era...when Anne was younger. So the show takes place after the portrait was painted.
