Why can't they hire Dutch actors for the minor roles and train the stars up to speak with a Dutch accent rather than the Euro-Brit one. A posh-English-speaking Griet just destroys the historical atmosphere for me.
@SierraLD At that time in History,as in others,there was "class" status.A maid or servant looked down,or bowed to show that they were subservient to their masters.
@chippyrox I've been a vegetarian for my whole life (18 years). I am not skinny. I am not chubby. I am healthy. I have never tried to force anyone to become a vegetarian. I know why they eat meat. I'm not an idiot. I have been barraded since I was a kid, though, why I DON'T eat meat. I've had to defend myself for my whole life. Not all vegetarians are like your friends, appearantly.
P.S. murder and animal slaughter are two very different things. I don't think people should be okay with either.
There is no known self portrait of Vermeer, but to see what he MAY have looked like, Google image his painting, "The Procuress". It was an artistic convention when this was painted for artists to paint themselves into paintings and have themselves looking out at the viewer. The prostitute in the painting looks at her coins, her customer beside her looks at her, and the smiling man on the left - looks right at you. Very likely Vermeer!
>the PIGS head i feel so sorry for them> idk why humans dont eat humans < since they can eat all the animals they could < they just fukin craven, who eats MEAT
>the PIGS head i feel so sorry for them> idk why humans dont eat humans < since they can eat all the animals they could < they just fukin craven, who eats MEAT
I didn't expect peiter the son to be so ugly. the way he was described in the book i sorta imagined the guy who played prince charming on shrek lol. and i didn't expect the master to be average looking either he was described differently in the book. Also when i read the book i always thought tanneke was an indian or african slave because her name. but oh well i still think the book is better then the move but its like that for every book turned movie i guess.
Hmm, look at the way Maria Thins smiles around 6:24....now,I've read the book ,and I don't remember inferring this but... I think she might have sent Griet to van Rhyven's house on purpose, so that he could see her, and want a painting of her, so she they could gain more money.
Scarlett Johansson is an incredible actress and also very beautiful!I also love her in the Other Boleyn Girl which I have I've got to hurry up and get this one!
Regardless of whether or not he looks like the character described in the novel, and whether or not he's too beautiful to be chopping slabs of bloody meat....Cillian Murphy is one fine specimen.
@thebloga20 I don't think so. I was surprised to see her put a chunk of soap in the boiling water she was washing the sheets in (part 1).I didn't think they even had soap back then,or if they did it was only used by the very rich/ royalty.
I now they did not know about germs, Its just that they were not a very rich family so only on special occasions would they use their best things, like that silver ware, and would just wipe them down from being in storage....
that is just what I gather from the book and movie...

i love this movie but cillian murphy is miscast - pieter in the book was supposed to be earthy, large in stature etc. cillian murphy's one of those skinny dreamy poetic types, looks completely wrong for the part
@lysjanvier just what i thought. he's so pale, he should have a more bronze skin, he's working allday outside and i don't think the sun didn't shine back those days in the netherlands ;)
I have a question: in the book Maria Thins is always referred to as Maria Thins, always Maria Thins, never just Maria, is that meant to be like the equivalent of Mary Helen or something?
@Clempath I know, right, you couldn't even vacuum the rugs, you had to brush them by hand - so filthy and time consuming I't must've been a form of hell to be a maid then.
@jasminehks All you could think about was 'germs'?Well thanks to them and those 'germs',people got sick and died,the living built up antibodies,to repel them in the future.All the plagues,helped the living to repel germs that would have killed them ten years prior.When the Europeans came to America,the germs they carried killed 76% of the natives.Same thing happened in Hawaii.
dude chill. I mean think about it, diseases back then when described sound REALLY similar to sicknesses we still have now-a-days. We can just handle them a bit better. Besides, there's NEW sicknesses developing all the time. It's the easiest thing in the world to not spread crap when you look into it. But alas, that's not the case. You're giving off the impression that just because you're mr. indestructible anti-bodies doesn't mean everyone else is. It's very selfish thinking.
Well, firefly215, answering your question about a pig's head)...
When my father was in the army he saw a man in the train who took a pig's head from his bag (it was boiled in a solted water with spices, you know, something like Ukranian "salo). And he cut small pieces from it and ate. He was from Kazakstan as far as I remember.
This is TRIVIAL but can anyone tell me...what can u make w/ pig heads? What dish? What kind of meal would it be to use pig heads?
My closest interpretation of the pigs head are fish heads where @ home, my mom will clean the scales off & use the fish head for soup ( with the fish head boiling in the soup) since the head is one of the few parts of the fish we dont eat..but even that soup is not made daily.
So again, anyone have an idea realistically of what dishes the pig heads are used for?
maybe for meat (pork) stock which could then be added to soups and sauces. But then again people eat pig's feet and cow's tongue, so maybe the head was used for multiple purposes.
....Pieter's son Pieter is not as handsome as I imagined he would be... :/ kinda hoping he's not her main love interest in the movie. Forgive me, I've yet to finish the book! XD
