the duchess
i love period movies, i fucking LUH UH UV them. loved marie antoinette so hard anyone own that baby wanting to come over and dazzle me with it be my guest. so, i got my way last nite and we watched the duchess, not so keen on the keira knightley (we’re just not supposed to like her, no reason why other than multiple ones) but you are forced to like her in this movie because she’s just so hard done by and her husband licks some serious taint. she’s a prisoner basically, a fashion icon, and there is one scene she gets blasted in and her wig catches fire. colour me won over. fil fell asleep a few times though. meh.
i was trying to figure out if this all took place before during or after marie antoinette times and who was the first noted icon, the similarities do not go unnoticed. anyway, here’s a slew of photos obvs.
oh and it’s official, her left eye is higher than her right.
i don’t care if you hate her don’t bore me with a long i hate keira knightley top ten reasons why list comment, i liked this movie, i liked her dresses and i like her skeleton in them. enjoy!
I think the duchess and marie antionette were alive basically at the same time, romantic era. nerd (me).
ok thank you, i could be bothered to lurk out photos from this movie but not to wikipedia ‘the duchess of devonshire’ blaaah.
funny i just watchewd the dutchess yesterday too. i liked it ralph fiennes was such a pig!! did u watch the special features?? pretty fun
no i didn’t they’re worth it?
what do you think she hides in her hair?
and did u know she is related to princess diana, well diana is related to her.
the specials where kind of cool yeah, short but good.
I like period dramas, too, and loved Jane Eyre, 2006 Masterpiece Theatre version. Toby Stephens as Rochester is crazy dreamy. Check it out if you’ve got the notion.
Ahhh I adored that movie, asked the bf to buy it for my bday I hope he did! Are we supposed to hate Keira? I friggin love her and her skeleton as well haha. My only complaint is that watching The Duchess on a big theatre screen made it hard to focus on the plot because I spent the whole two hours in awe of her cheekbones.
I also totally loved the duchess! Even in spite of Keira- I can’t imagine anyone else doing a better job in that role. Also- I read somewhere that Georgina was friends with Marie Antoinette?
ooooh I love movies like that too she’s good in this film…
and that dominic cooper guy is hott
You might like Vatel(2000) with Gerard Depardieu & Uma Thurman. Same period, good watch if you can find it.
Can you imagine going out in public today with a giant fucking tower of hair like that? Hah.
She makes me want to barf because I’m a petty twat. Beyotch stole my name and stuff.
have you seen the pride and prejudice with keira? i was actually (pleasantly) surprised by her performance because it was good! very romantic and all of that.
if you like period pieces, check out Brideshead Revisited. amazing.
who is she kissing off set?
I like period movies as well. My personal favourite to this day is A&E’s Pride and Prejudice.
What’s wrong with Keira Knightly? I like her.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
jk
Gerard Depardieu- ew
yeah i’ve since read up on all the history betwix these broads. class dismissed.
yeah i liked the duchess too. not such a huge fan of keira or maybe i should say some of the movies she’s been in. i hated atonement with a passion but the duchess was good.
there is crap all to rent in the stores these days.
I WOULD FUCKING SHOOT MYSELF IF I HAD TO WATCH THAT! phil’s a total pussy. he’s basically a tall engineer version of NY Mikey now.
i gotta get out there and we gotta take in some mindless sports.
viv sure seemed bitter in that comment.
how come the guy she is kissing isn’t in costume?
paparazzi shot
Thanks for recommending this. I just watched it and it was AWESOME.
