Very disappointed :(

From my favorite movies..

A Disappointing Continuation

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

My ex husband and I have a long running joke about how boring this film is. In fact I forgot all about it until it showed up recently and once again I watched it just to laugh - I don't know if they re trying to portray how boring Amsterdam was in 1664 but that's the impression - poor working class people are giving a hackneyed cockney-ed accent and posh people a rich upper class English accent. The main character Griet by Scarlet Johanson has a lower lip hanging open the whole time proposing her lack of intellect. Her eyes and their expression never once change from embarrassment of her sex.How any man could even spend time talking with this mono-syllabic robot was beyond us.No other actors speak more than 3 syllable's in each sentence.In summary it is the most boring film I have ever seen. The fact its rated so highly on here worries for the poor like me who today cant afford to waste their money and truly this film is a waste of time and money this is the third time I've seen it and Im writing a review whilst its on in the background on a closed window and believe me Im not missing anything

Girl With a Pearl Earring is all textures, colors, light, sound, and Charlott's face. Despite the awesome sensory smorgasbord and a palate that would make Vermeer proud nothing stands out to anywhere near the degree of Charlott's face.The greatest acting performance of all time measured by what she had to upstage.See my page at https://plus.google.com/107486172052080671382 for my review of this and much, much more. All it requires is suspension of disbelief and I have made that as easy as it could possibly be. Well it seems that I must add on to this so I will note the difficulty that I am having with my keyboard getting it to capitalize anything on the left side.

If you tired of usual movies and want to take thorough pleasure, you should watch "Girl with a Pearl Eaeeing". This film will already intrigue you on the first minutes and it will be continuing up till the very end. On the first sight this film could seems you like boring and tiresome, however, if you continue watching, you realize, how wonderful it is. This mysterious plot without clear end make you think about important issues you haven't thought before. You may be in some shock after the screening. The action takes place in the Dutch Republic, in 1655. Griet (Scarlett Johansson) is a shy girl, which started to work as a maid in the house of Johannes Vermeer (Colin Firth). She is quite and doesn't attract many attention from the house residents. Nevertheless, she drew the attention of the Johannes Vermeer, because, despite her young age, she can feel the process of the painting, colors, mechanism for creating pictures. Vermeer appreciates her deep in sight and once ask her secretly to pose for a new picture... Actors coped with their roles perfectly. Glances, smiles, silence, tone of voices - all of in is played distinctly. The director - Peter Webber - managed with the transfer of the main idea. Music by Alexandre Desplat, who also worked on the films like "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", "The King's Speech", "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" is fantastic and it helps us to feel deeply what the main heroes are feeling. To sum up, it can not be denied that some films we watching are marginally creating our culture, our world outlook, and this very film could give us many different interesting issues for thinking about. You can enjoy this film in all occasions: sunny day or rainy night, in a good mood on in a bad spirit.

Griet (Scarlett Johansson) is a peasant maid working in the house of painter Johannes Vermeer (Colin Firth). She becomes his talented assistant, and the model for one of his most famous works. Also starring such greats actors as Tom Wilkinson and Cillian Murphy.This movie is based on a fictional story derived from the Dutch masterpiece painting called Girl with a Pearl Earring. Like the painting, this is really pretty. The set and the costumes are all beautifully created reminiscent of the paintings. Every chance he gets, director Peter Webber frames the movie as a painting. I see the idea behind the style, but inevitably it restraints the picture from anything more than 2 dimensional portraits.Scarlett's reserved performance siphons most of the passion from this film. It's obvious they're trying to allude to an overall sense of restricted sexuality. But it just takes too long to get the tension going. A quicker faster emotional speed is required for the first half.
