What a Beautiful Film - Please watch, watch and watch!!!!!
For once, I am virtually speachless!!!This film needs 10 stars when in comparison to other films that I have seen in the past.
If Hugh Dancy isn't the next 'big thing' in the film industry then they all want their heads testing! I actually saw him in first in 'Ella Enchanted' and was really impressed with him then, but after seeing the range of his dramatic craft in this film - I was astounded that such a young actor could have already got so far down the road of excellence in such a short period of time - with a relativly small experience in 'Films' per-say!
The cinematography in this film made it a delight to watch, and makes you wish that you could just step right into the screne amongst the incredible scenery, cast and period of the piece. Alon...
Jessica is Fantastic & oh so... talanted ;)
Jessica Alba and Hugh Dancy star in these brilliant historical love story. Hugh Dancy is an english officer sent to a remote tribe to tutor them he is then given a sleeping dictionery to help him learn the language (a sleeping dictionery is exactly that by the way) and the two slowly fall in love but this is not permitted. Both Jessica and Hugh put on a brilliant performance it is a film that you will be glad you saw. It's only downfall is it's ending - but I won't tell you that bit...
