so what did u think?
how did u find the film?
post ur opinions.
i thought it was good, very sad, made me shed a tear:(
good film though.
Despite the viewer having to suspend disbelief, I found this film quite moving and powerful.. somewhat of a surprise. Some of the performances, such as the always wonderful Emma Thompson, were outstanding and worth watching the film for that alone. It's good to remember what villains have had power in different countries... they usually disappear when justice prevails but we have to keep thinking of what could be. I watched this a few days after the July bombings in London near where I live. It's sad what man does to man.. or woman. Does human nature ever really change?
sharei totally agree, it really did move me(this film), i didn't know what to expect of this film when i first rented it but it really was a lovely, touching film.
I love captain jack Sparrow, because he's hot all by his onesie, savvy?
I thought the film was miscast. Antonio Banderas was great but Emma Thompson was appalling. Why didn't they get a decent Spanish or South American actress to play the role instead of an Englishwoman pretending that she can't speak English that well so puts on a dodgy Spanish accent. I think that could have been a really powerful character if it was played by the right person.
shareI really liked the movie but I agree that, as much as I like her, Emma Thompson was miscast. There are a number of Spanish speaking actresses who could have done the role justice if for no other reason than to add some authenticity. Or Meryl Streep who can do any language accent. Christopher Hampton has also directed Carrington starring Emma Thompson so maybe that's the connection.
