epic love storey

Rating: 4/10 (9 April 2004)

With all the oscar buzz, I went and saw this film. I read the book about 3 years ago, and I found the book to be the typical love story, and so I went adn saw it and I was so disapointed. Nicole Kidman is a good actress, but the role of Ada wasen't good. She looks like a princess in the civil war, with soft hair and make-up. I just can't belive Jude Law got a nomination. Renee was good, but it is not her best role. In my opinion Shoheren (spelling) did a better job. The music was very nice, "Scarlet tide" was a great song (deserved oscar), both, the cinematography and edition is very good (should have won CIDADE DE DEUS- city of god). This film is quite slow, boring, and typical. Not big deal. 6.45/10.00
