Great flick for both men and women. Touchy-feely, yet violent.

I thought it was great! I would pay full price to see it again.
I really try to be good but it just isn’t in my nature!
Really? I’ve heard only negative reviews, from both newspapers and friends. “Let’s take a show with great music and a terrible plot—and cut out the music!” Hmm, well, maybe it’s not as bad as I’d heard.
I do want to see “Mr. Ripley,” to see all those blond starlets being Hitchcockian.
I understand the movie is BANNED in Thailand. Can’t understand why-these events happened over 100 years ago. Of course, the Thais revere their king much more than the British
It looks like it would be a great movie, but I simply cannot stand Jodie Foster!! I don’t know what it is about her that gets on my nerves but I cannot watch any movie she is in.
I would like to see it, but haven’t yet. My husband is like you Michelle. He absolutely can’t stand her. He doesn’t know why either, just something about her.
This could maybe be a thread all its own, but my hubby also dislikes Jodie Foster – as well as Roseanne, Rosie O’Donnell, Ellen Degeneres, Oprah, Candice Bergen, Bea Arthur, all the Designing Women except Annie Potts, etc. etc.
See a pattern here? Strong, independent women are okay in real life, but in the movies and on TV, just be cute.
Huh. I like Jodie Foster. Not to kill anyone over or anything, but I think she’s a great actress 
Haven’t seen this movie yet.

Well, I certainly enjoyed it, I like Jodie Foster (anyone remember "Little Man Tate?), and think Chow Yun-Fat is very cool.
On the other hand, I couldn’t get over how arrogant and eurocentric she was (not Jodie), one minute she’s talking about treating the King with the utmost respect and the next she’s refusing protocol unless it’s British protocol. She has Indian “servants” and has a fit about Thai slaves.
On the other hand, I read in Encarta after I saw the movie that the king’s son went on to abolish slavery in Thailand as well as revise the judicial system. Thailand is the only Southeast Asian country not Imperialized, and that they have an unusually high, for the area, literacy rate and number of women in business and politics. I know it’s pointless to speculate on how much influence she might have had, but it makes you wonder.
