The Duchess:
In theaters now. Starring? Yeah, one of the Fiennes’ brothers and Kera Knightly. Miss Knightly with very – exceedingly – scary hair. Bride of Frankenstien hair.
I don’t keep up with stars or the social lives of people I don’t really know; however, that was a very good movie, with current overtones, and pointed comment about royalty.
It’s about the Duchess of Devonshire, set in various locations in and around the south of England and London a few centuries ago. Great story, excellent acting – and even me, from my stilted point of view, even me? I felt sorry for the Duke of Devonshire. Just how I am. Well-played with a wig and all by Ralph Feinnes.
Sort of Historical allegorical Romance. Comedy, too, but only in the darkest of ways. Which made it funny – to me. I’m weird and twisted.

“Two characteristics shared by the gods and men (and every rational creature):
i. Not to let others hold you back.
ii. To locate the goodness in thinking and doing the right thing, and to limit your desires to that.”

It’s still a favorite image from the last road trip. Apparently, the entrance to a “gentlemen’s club.” Talk about the irony.
