Review of Diana

Diana (2013)
7/10
One of the most beautiful movies
4 November 2013
Let's allow us enjoy the MOVIE, not the history. In this way, we'll see "Diana" as a fiction, not even as a fiction inspired by actual facts or people. Because I was tired - at the way out from the movie - by the same annoying and so predictable lines: (Naomi) is not Diana. She has different looks. But what about the boys? (meaning the two princes). Where were they? Well, stop. Nobody cares (or should care) about appearances. Naomi embodies the essence of a truly vulnerable, overly exposed woman. A woman living a story that could not be verified. This is not a documentary. And this is not a bad TV production (I've seen some of them, too). This is the kind of movie that irritates both "fans" and detractors of the public persona that was Diana of Windsor: everybody feels cheated. Diana is portrayed nor good or bad. Naomi's Diana is just a silent scream, incredibly strong, incredibly soft, with the main actress in total control of her character - mentally & physically. Watts feels the nuances of a disturbed soul, and we, as viewers, are not witnessing the mainly cheap process of achieving the mannerism of a public person as we all knew her. Instead we can breath within the story, sometimes forgetting that is not necessarily SHE who's trying to find the healing love, but us. And yes, is not a story about the great love, is just a story about how you can still love after you had your great love
