'The Painted Veil'


The subject matter wasn't, entirely, the most appealing. The movie, however, - as a whole - seemed quite interesting and, wow...I never thought that I would ever want to go to China but...I might be tempted with how GORGEOUS the shots were; so zen and beautiful. And...the era in which the story is set is quite intriguing, as well; to imagine how people felt towards the British and what their purpose for coming was.

I quite liked the characters, as well. The direction of the marriage took me a little by surprise, as well; quite a refreshing turn, actually. OK...I'm not revealing any more; that should be enough of a "carrot!" :-)
