I happened upon the movie Vanity Fair last night on HBO. I've been begging a certain SOMEONE to rent it with me and watch it, but HE has consistently refused to. Instead, I spent two hours of last night with 2.5 glasses of red wine, the dog, and my remote.
I'm still not sure what the hell happened in the movie. Has anyone read the book? Is it good? Was it confusing? No self-respecting movie-goer should be left with so many rudimentary questions at the conclusion of a film. At the heart of my ill-at-ease opinion of the whole thing is Reese Witherspoon's character, Becky Sharp. Was she really JUST a coldhearted social climber? I spent half the movie wondering if I should feel sorry for her instead of hate her, as the director clearly indicates should be happening.
Has anyone seen this movie and can shed some light on it? I found it only relatively entertaining, and sort of blah.
