Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003)
January 6th, 2005
Don’t get me wrong when I say this film was boring. Actually, do! It was enjoyable although I came away from it wondering what I’d just watched. What happened? Why it happened? etc.
This film was set in the 17th century which makes it naturally great (of course!). As you all know, I love all things old and romantic. There was this tiny, little, mini, micro….. massive “BUT” in it, and that was: Scarlett Johansson cannot act. If you wanted a catatonic person to stare blindly into a point and sigh occasionally I’m sure they could of done such a thing on a smaller budget.
My sister and I have been wondering how many words she said throughout the whole film, I bet if you consider how much she got paid per word she would be the highest paid actress in Hollywood.
The film was good. I liked it, but I wouldn’t blame you if you came away bored. This film could have been made into a TV short in 40 minutes and would probably have been better.
