1. Sam Claflin is an Amazing Protagonist
I have always loved Sam Claflin and his portrayal as Philip in this film was incredible. Claflin is such a talented actor and he never ceases to amaze me with his brilliant characterization and believable on-screen emotion. He is truly perfect in his role as Philip and demonstrates great character development throughout the movie. From start to finish, Claflin’s portrayal of such a complex character is stellar.
2. It’s a Great Period Piece
Set in 19th century England, this movie is a great period piece. From the old fashioned costumes to the dated scenery, the film is a perfect representation of what life was like in a different time period. Not only is the time period aspect of the movie interesting, but it also plays a huge role in the plot of the movie and how and why each event occurs. It’s crazy to truly understand how different our modern lives are today in comparison to those featured in this film.
3. Rachel Weisz is the Perfect Villain
Rachel Weisz is amazing in her portrayal as antagonist, Rachel. In the film, Rachel is a manipulative, abusive, backstabbing woman, with a thirst for wealth. She is someone who does whatever they must in order to get exactly what they want, no matter who they end up hurting in the process. Weisz’s acting is of the highest quality in this film; she adds her own unique touch to the role and is able to create a deep connection with every person in the audience.
