ok, so after the kill bill film festival....most movies will pale by comparison.......but none could be as disappointing as one of my favorite books....the girl with the pearl earring......with one of my favorite leading men...colin firth.....he of pride and prejudice....... the screenplay sliced so much from the book's fabric that the ribbons leftover were not enough to sustain my interest..............i literally ff through the dvd after i saw that it was worthless to watch what the director had wrought from the pages of such a luminous work of fiction................and scarlett does look like the girl in the painting......which i did see in 1976 in the hague...........at the lovely poorly guarded museum that i can neither spell nor pronounce............what a waste...................the only character allowed any passion is the spoiled often-pregnant wife of vermeer...............so much left out that could have built to clarity of vermeer's brilliance.................ah well............when i am queen........................
