I'll Take Manhattan (8)

[pandemits]

And Zach i believe, really loved Lilly, first as an innocent girl and then as the mother of his children. One thing he always wanted more than a career and a beautiful woman, was a FAMILY. Nina refuced him that WITH NOT EVEN A HINT OF HOPE. So, he left her...

[pandemits]

As another user said, her coldness to her daughter was because she didnt really want another child . However, in part, the reason for the coldness was that she saw her younger self in her and she wanted tospare her the disappointment she went through when her parents in their affection left her dreaming about being prima ballarina, only to land face first in th reality that she wasn't good enough for this. So, she completely does not show affection to her...

The first time I noticed Francesca Annis was in David Lynch's DUNE. I thought she was fascinating. I think she's great in this movie, too. Thank you LB for all of your wonderful videos.

I feel sorry for Zach but actually he deserves it - if he was in love with Nina how could he have married another woman, a complete stranger, - just for a stupid idea to be married no matter with whom! He should have been more persistent with Nina because they were made for each other. And the fact that Lilly was disappointed after their first time together, means that she feels nothing for Zach. She married him only for his money and wealth

[akebefrontiere]

@krysabychok I get your point but you need to understand the way she said to him was that she would never sacrifice her career to have children even if she was to accept to marry him which i think was the thing he most wanted and i don't think she actually was disappointed in the sex with him but didn't just find it enjoying as some women do on their first times as it was her fault for being to tense during it.

[pandemits]

@krysabychok not defending anyone here, but Nina made her choice by completely cutting out the possibility of ever mathering a child. a pwerful woman like she COULD have a career and a family if she wanted to. Zach felt exactly that and that's why he married Lily. Lily did not really loved him, that;s why she turned into that iceburg later on.

lily has a very mature look about her, she could have never played a teenager.

[kaluski]

she has bags around her eyes...she is not pretty. she is a quite a slut!

@kaluski

Francesca Annis is one of the most beautiful women in the world.

She is a true classic.

[kaluski]

@JoyceC777..."in the world?" Hardly. She is not ugly. Don't confuse her acting with her looks. Her acting is superb. She is a true classic actress. But her beauty is not as good as her acting. Makeup is not natural beauty. Strip away the make-up on some women and we get "hideous". She is "decent" looking, But not "...in the world". Maybe we can give her "...in Britain". That niche market is ok, but not the whole world comparison. You can get a woman to believe anything when it comes to beauty.

[JoyceC777]

@kaluski Have you ever seen her in Madame Bovery? or Lillie? Or better yet - on the stage in NYC where she was so captivating as Gertrude - Hamlet's mother, that Ralph F, (actor portraying Hamlet) - 18 years her junior - fell madly in love with her and left his wife Alex Kingston for her?

Please don't mistake my replies as anything more than defending Francesca Annis. I'm not yelling at you. I am, however, interested in who you may think would fall into the "in the world" category.

[kaluski]

@JoyceC777...beauty is really in the eye of the beholder.

[JoyceC777]

@kaluski no argument theere!

[kaluski]

@JoyceC777...lol. well...don't get too caught up in the analysis.

Lilly never really loved Zach but was infatuated by his flattery. He was mesmerized with her beauty and hasty to wed. When her dreams of being a principle dancer failed, she sought matrimonial refuge. Now, about 10 yrs into the marriage she loathes her husbands touch. Her demeanor towards Maxi tells me she didnt want a 2nd child. With no outlet for her own passion or interest in the family business, she became a bored, desperate housewife. The perfect set-up for a rogue like Cutter.

[difficlty]

why did they change actresses? :(

[Nichelle0099]

Because she was aging so they sought a more mature actress.

[hardrein101]

ecellent obersvation and very well stated!!!!.

[kaluski]

she is such a slut.

[NYCBlonde]

@kaluski Grow up.

[Deezhan]

@Nichelle0099 well! that sums it up!:D

[Nichelle0099]

Lilly landed Zach because men primarily focus on looks while women are attracted to wealth and power.
