one of the greatest performances of the 90s. watsons portrayal of du pré may not have been completely accurate, but she definitely created a very complex human portrait that was both fascinating and deeply moving to watch.
Hilary once quoted that the worst part for Jackie being in a wheelchair was that she could never escape any situation. I love playing the cello, and I would be torn if I could never play it again for any reason.
I love how most of the comments are about Jacqueline du Pré, not about the movie. This means that Emily Watson managed to transform herself totally for this role. I admire her acting.
This...This is the most sad thing in the world...A musician who cant play her enstrument....It's much more painfull if that enstrument is a cello...For me,cello is one of the most emotional enstrument in the world...i cant imagine myself in this situation...but she was in this....This is the worst thing for a musician...R.I.P Jacqueline...
Even do I loved the way she plays music with so much passion... I'm a big fan of her work... I simply can't stop listening to her interpretation of elgar cello concerto 1st mov its brilliant.
I think she didn't gain maturity because her parent didn't taught her about moral values since she was always involve in music. She behaves all the time like a little girl playing around. Maybe that's why its so amusing watch her videos.
i wouldn't just say that, i'd say she was a genius woman who made too many incorrect choices and in the end realized this - ended up alone and destroyed...sad sad life..:( makes me cry.
i think she is a selfish person, of course she is such a genius and added much to music but i didn't like her as a person specially when she asks to sleep with her sister's husband, it seems to me a woman who has everything envy her sister who lives a simple and poor life
Wow... That was.... strong! Jacqueline Du Pre had a unique talent unmatched by anything on earth except her tragedy.. So hard to imagine how cruel destiny was to such a beauty..
Emily Watson: that was the best performance I have ever seen of an actress and if you didn't win the Oscar, then it is their mistake not yours
Simply this movie is extraordinary. a copy of it should be kept playing in the British museum for ever.
Rest in peace, Jacqueline and thanks for your inspiring music
poderosa,verdaderamente poderosa actuacion,Emily Watson es un verdadero transmisor de emociones,conmovedora hasta los tuetanos,veradreamente impactante,esto es una veraddera actriz,no le importa desfigurar su cara con tal de transmitir este tipo de emociones,Sublime!!
The tragedy of this great musician in moving. Multiple Sclerosis effects so many people and we should not forget the greatness in all people that is affected by it. But, wow I love this piece by Elgar, and the story of Jacqueline brings it to the relms of passion and heart moving emotion. Do you think she was portrayed as a bit Borderline Personality or bipolar? In any case her life was riddled with circumstances that would test anyones resilience! love the movie
this is such an unforgettable scene! It's so amazing, the range of emotions she's able to translate onto the screen. I almost cry everytime I see this.
SO FUCKING SAD. I love this movie, so much.

@dll0990 Jackie is suffering from MS and can't get out of her chair to play the cello anymore--muscle weakness.

Such a sad part in the entire movie. I'd be like that too if I couldn't play my cello ever again.
snootzie78 2 years ago 2
Siempre lloro con esta parte, llego a sentirme identificada con algunas cosas que le pasaban a jacquie.
Creo que es la peor enfermedad que dios le podria haber dado . :'( pobre jacquie, no merecia eso.
Creo que es la mejor parte de la pelicula, al menos la que mas llega al corazon.

The most inspiring musician ever to have lived and the most tragic story ever heard of.
Life is so cruel sometimes and I cry everytime i hear her play because her wonderful talent was cut so short.
R.I.P Jacqueline, you will never be forgotten.
