What was it about this movie that made it so horrible to you?
I just finished watching this movie again. Mostly to critique it because of some of the comments made on this board about it. It's not the best movie I've ever seen, but it HARDLY rates as one of the worst either. To those of you who hated it, what about it was so terrible? It had a plot and the leading characters where both lovely to look at, as were the set designs. I could have done without the music - especially the thinly veiled operatic reference to "A Room With A View" and I really didn't care for the way it ended, but all an all it was entertaining (to me).
I don't think some of you "got it". This was supposed to be an erotic movie. A twisted erotic movie. A Harlequin novel. Since it was written by a women it was told from a female point of view - you could tell by the dialogue and the way in which Nick was portrayed that a women wrote it. It was not meant to be "Gone with the Wind". It was intended to titillate (sp?) Just that. Take a taboo subject put two lovely people in a mansion - one obsessed and twisted -the other jaded and arrogant - and see what happens.
Not only that, any movie with the Julian Sands in it CAN'T be all bad. Talk about lovely legs and gorgeous hair. Day-um!
