Diana

First thing is that this is a Film saying something about feelings of a woman, longing for Love and not merely a TV Documentry or a Biopic with real life **** its best not to expect that !!This Famous saying by poet Rumi...”Somewhere between right and wrong there is a garden…I will meet you there”. That’s the garden of love, where Diana wanted to go to. The film says a lot about the private life of Diana, which I guess has been researched on some hard facts. Young **** of the most beautiful women of all times…had the whole world in her palm yet she yearned for The one thing, that is a gift of only the fortunate- LOVE…She was denied that from her rebound affair with (one in a million) heart Surgeon- Dr.Khan, who realistically and logically, choose his career and family over her…only because she was a princess. But sadly Dr.Khan did not know that love is not to be analysed from the head …But FELT from the heart, which was what Diana felt…always from her Heart !! What I gather from the Film is that…Despite what was expected from the world’s most important woman at that time, from the Society, Royalty, Paparazzi and the World at large… she tried her best to Just come out of those clutches of Royalty to which she had wed into… Yet it seems like No one wanted to see her in any different image other than Princess Diana…Queen of England ! I feel there is that one dialogue from the movie- Notting hill by Julia Roberts, which best fits at the END…where Diana probably might want to have said to the world that…After all... I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her!! …R.I.P. Diana.

I honestly don't understand the overwhelming criticism that this film is receiving. The film is by no means perfect. The first half of the film is, frankly, boring. As we focus on the love affair between Diana and Hasnat, we miss the bigger picture, and you could easily mistake the couple for a pair from a so-so Nicholas Sparks novel. However, the second half of the film has a lot more going for it, as the fame of the princess begins to destroy her relationships, her family and, ultimately, herself. With a steady - if not watertight - performance from Watts, perhaps the reason for the intense negative press towards this biopic shouldn't come as much of a surprise. After all, they are the antagonists here.

In the period between her separation from Prince Charles and her death, Princess Diana (Naomi Watts) had a secret affair with a Pakistani heart surgeon (Naveen Andrews). This film lays it out in simple terms: her loneliness, her fame, her political causes and her struggle with love. Watts brings her talents to give the character depth and Andrews is effective. The events are relayed in short scenes with uninspired style, almost like a documentary. The writing is equally prosaic. While the film never especially touching, it does reveal interesting details in the life of "the most famous woman in the world'."

When I heard about this movie I thought it was going to be a more or less biographical film, like the ones that were already made for other personalities (and it seems that, after "The Queen" and "Iron Lady", the trend is to take British personalities of most recent decades). But this movie was far from it. In fact, I don't know to what extent this film is biographical because its not able to decently tell the life of Diana Spencer, who went down in history as Princess of Wales by marrying the heir to the British crown. If we don't have well present in memory all her life we will leave the room without completely understanding the film, because it explains very little and focuses more on the time after the separation of the royal couple. And let's face it, many of us no longer remember her life. More than ten years have passed since her death and almost no one has an elephant's memory. Then we have Naomi Watts in the lead role. She is a good actress and was certainly a solid bet of the director, Oliver Hirschbiegel. The physical resemblance between her and the late princess is evident and was well used, but it lacks to this Diana the good script and solid dialogues that would give to the film a quality that, in this way, does not have. Anyway, since Diana is such a beloved personality even today, it took some courage to make the film, and so I can consider it was a merit effort, even if it failed at what was essential.

So I was grocery shopping one day at the Gelsons in Calabasas a couple years ago when I passed by there like redbox but not rental/buy movie kiosk ... I was browsing the movies when I came across the movie Diana ... Hmmm, I don't remember this movie like at all and I'm super interested in Princess Diana and her whole story ... So I bought it not knowing it would make me question everything I thought I knew because in my world her love affair was with her bodyguard NOT a heart surgeon with the same name. Watching it I was also shocked as to his appearance while her bodyguard was foreign he was never like that, the movie also had situations that didn't fit the whole he was a heart surgeon profession. That's why I rated this movie a 3, because it's full of false information, maybe in someone's world he was a heart surgeon ... Or maybe he was a doctor of conjoined twins, who became a bodyguard to the one he saved and won Diana's heart and after taking their deaths are living with the twin he and her saved together ... See anyone can make up a story where's your fact checker b/c didn't u know it's not nice to lie.
