Who wanted to strangle Judy Davis?

Her character was so pathic, hateful, ethnocentric, rude, that it bordered on farce, especially in the opera scenes where she was in the audience.

Twas a role Judy plays exceptionally well. She knows just how to bring it. Perhaps she is a little bit like that, herself. I'm always impressed by her high anxiety characters. In this one, she is extreme in her displays. Really terrific, I think.

I know where she lives, want me to do you a favor? LOL I'm serious, I live in Sydney. She does seem to play those sort of roles and so well too! Typecasting?

It may be infuriating but I found it realistic. I've encountered many people like Davis' character, even here in the forums. There are a number of foreigners who act in a similar way in the Philippines and Thailand (I'm sure in other countries too). My father told me of encounters in Thailand where foreigners thought they were worshiped as gods because the natives bowed to them as it is in their custom.

I hoped at the end she would be arrested for kidnapping but apparently not.

She was just ghastly, I hated her. I mean Harriet, not Judy Davis! Horrible woman!
