JRR's llfe was up and down and interested; exciting, eh? How 'bout "arresting, intriguing, provocative' ?
Good God, couldn't you see the incidents and the people he was were in his books? Not just ideas, but that real situations. Sheesh. I noticed the spiders...wondered if there were clips on the edit floor. The movie was mostly fellowship and horror of war.
I also enjoyed the movie!
you didn't say why/what was so bad.....you left readers hanging for the rest. I surprised you didn't understand that. Shame.
Cool, what a special suprise!
DId you see the movie? What is the point you may be trying to put forth? What made them 'stupid?' LOL, sometimes the trailers are so good you don't have to go to the movie.
I thought the same thing....and I do remember that in all of the Barsoom books there were no traveling cities :)
I liked both also :)
If you are addressing me your remarks are absurd and ad hominem. Learn how to discuss in a proper manner.
i would hope that she had a Scottish accent with a little french lilt. Her mother made sure that she had an entourage of Scottish noble women, one of which was Mary Flemming's mother who was her governess until she had a child by the king of France. she had playmates of around her own age the 4 Marys and her 3 half brothers John,James and Patrick how long these boys stayed with her i am unsure, also she had a monk for her religious education.
she would have, must of heard the Scottish accent everyday as during this time it was impolite if you were in company to have silence, so books were read aloud, music played and sing etc would have gone on everyday all day.
It is recorded that she knew French, Latin, Greek, Spanish and Old Scots (not Gaelic). But her native language was French. Apparently, she didn't speak much English, when she did have to learn it prossibly had a bit of the broad Scots accent, perhaps a touch of french. If she spoke Scots in the movie we wouldn't know what was going on :)
The Portuguese were the first to engage in the Atlantic slave trade in the 16th century. In 1526, they completed the first transatlantic slave voyage to Brazil. Other European countries soon followed suite. Mary Stuart died by ax 1587, Spanish Armada was destroyed in 1588. The first English attempt at settlement in the New World was 1588; the first successful was Jamestown in 1606--Elizabeth died in 1606 and James Stuart became King of E&S. English ships entered China via Portuguese Macau in the 1620's. The 'diverse' actors, in the roles they were given, stood out like sore thumb--in what was supposedly a historical movie...seen through Mary's view. It's the same with set dressing and clothing--if something is wrong is sticks out--and as someone below mentions, those errors disrupt those in the audience who know that and generally lose focus of the rest of the move/play. If a person who didn't study history of that error, or overwhelm with the Holy PC, doesn't matter....
That was a different era, in the early time of movies; the white actors were made-up to appear (somewhat) what race the role was. It wasn't until mid-20th centuray that actual American Indians actually played the roles of American Indians! I think there *are* plenty of complaints of visual anachronisms--the viewer is too much worried by the error that sticks out like a sore thumb to pay attention to the rest of the move/play.
There is nothing new under the sun...for me, I'm tired of more and more Ocean (add #) movies
Yes, the corn field would be a mess....LOL. I just let it slip by :)
I didn't know what to call the music either..but some of it sounded ancient and aboriginal--like in Australia.
She was listed in IMDB in 'rest listed alphabetically.' I thought they did a good job finding an actress to look so much like the original Rachel and was stunned to find it *was* Sean Youngl Looked at her pictures through the years and see that she has aged very well.
