"Vanity Fair": was DREADFUL!

05.19.09 (5:51 am) [edit]

"Vanity Fair": was DREADFUL! The story line was scatterbrained & the acting PALTRY. The time continuity was washed up. The timing between 2 events that happened back to back, felt the same as 2 events that happened far apart so that my perception of the time line was skewed. One moment Becky had a newborn and the next moment she had a young boy of 6 or 7. There was no transition to the two scenes to suggest that a conciderable amount of time had passed. The only reprieve was during the scenes when Lady Crawley sang like a bird. I don't know if Reese Witherspoon ACTUALLY did the singing or if someone sang over her for the score, but either way (whomeve'rs voice it was) it was enchanting. Her voice gave me shivers and left me yearning for more.

Did you rent this movie?
I have not seen it -- maybe I should. I don't like Becky -- she tossed the gift of a dictionary out of the carriage window.

I thought that after she "killed" off Joseph (for the money), and had his ashes scattered at sea (too late and she covered her tracks), she ended up alone with no wee ones.
It has been soooo long though.

Good scene (in the book) when she ate the hot pepper though. LOL

I liked Amelia and Dobbs/Dobben best.

Reminds me of a song Paulo sent me from Brazil, part of a play, and needed a soprano with a powerful voice...a guy did the part, been so long can't remember his name, would like to have seen him sing it..I have it on a CD somewhere goes from real high soprano down to tenor...that's when you know a man is singing it, because of the power in it...I found some interviews he gave,and did some songs... a really big guy he is too...don't think anyone made fun of him!!!
