It reminds me of Marie Antoinette, but the Duchess is a more political and inspirational film, and it ends more abruptly than M.A.... it makes me wonder... were all aristo women back in that time acting like that?
one thing I'm quite disappointed with this film is that Keira is being typecast as period drama heroines, although her ethereal beauty is cut out for those roles, but I'd be more happy to see her in modern films.
The Duchess is not those girlish movies like M.A., it's about politics, love and marriage in a more grown up sense. The most intriguing thing that astonishes me is the menage a trois among Georgiana, her husband and her best friend. What is, seriously, the problem with this couple? Doesn't she has the power to drive away her friend from their house?! Georgiana has to take the blame for some reasons that she can't give up her friend for her marriage. what a sensible woman...
