Oct. 12th, 2008 01:53 amI went to see The Duchess tonight. It was pretty good. Not great, because the flow seemed a bit disjointed at times. I've found that with a fair number of historical movies I've seen lately...I figure it's because they are taking bits and pieces of the story and trying to make them flow together without the parts that are missing. Which doesn't work so well.
Amazing acting though, I can see why everyone is going crazy about Kiera in it (I love Kiera, she is my favourite actress at the moment). Ralph Fiennes is also great, which was extra exciting because they were able to show that the Duke wasn't a horrible person, he was just a horrible husband.
I must read the book this was based off. And also check my royal lovers book because I'm sure that she's in there...or they stole the quote about taking care of "our" husband from someone else.
At least it wasn't "let them eat cake" XD
I also popped by Tims, but unfortunately Trevor wasn't in tonight, so I didn't get to drop off my uniform or pick up my last paycheque. Boo to that.
