Trivialidades:

Though the events in the film are based on reality, they have definitely been 'tarted up' as the opening disclaimer says. In real life, the Marquis' second wife, Marie-Constance Quesnet, was living with him at Charenton, along with their daughter. He did carry on an affair with Madeleine Leclerc (Kate Winslet's character), although Madeleine was thirteen at the time. And contrary to Geoffrey Rush's physical appearance, the real Marquis was, by this point in his life, extremely obese.

Errores:

Errores Reales: Having been whipped on the back, Madeleine proceeds to lie on her back in bed with her mother.

Citas:

Abbe du Coulmier: I am not the first man God has asked to shed blood in his name. And I am not of the last.

Interesting...

This was a good movie, but I thought it had somewhat of an unsatisfsying ending (well, to me anyway). Sad too. It moves nicely, though and you don't want to be interrupted. It can get rather graphic at times, but that's mainly because of the subject material, I guess. Geoffrey Rush is brilliant.He has a real knack for bringing strange and twisted characters to life. Michael Caine is doing his usual job of being superb as well. Every new role Kate Winslet performs is different from the previous and she excels every time. She expresses emotion very well. And my goodness, Joaquin Phoenix. I wouldn't say that I was ever a *fan* of his, but damn, now I am. If there was ever a performance that just made me melt, this was it. The restrained emotions and frustration of unfulfilled desires of his character were just performed brilliantly. This guy's an amazing actor.
