Anyone else hate Mira?


I know I did. I couldn't wait for her to die and she didn't. At the end, I thought for sure we'd see the people she was running away from tear her limb from limb for killing Orpheus, but no. She lived and carried on with her wickedness. Perhaps later ruining the life of some other nice young man.

So disappointing.

OrFEu! OrFEu! It's been years since I've seen this wonderful movie, yet that voice is clear as a bell. -sigh-

Why Richard, it profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world... but for Wales?

She was there to represent worldly love. As fine as Orpheus was if he didnt he didnt have that big wage packet to loan her money to get the ring she would have moved on to the next man.
