Jude - Kate Winslet - Thomas Hardy Classic

Kate Winslet has a curious penchant for acting in films which include all forms of irreverence, female rancor, and irreligion....In these roles she has f-d her cousin, cheated on her husband (countless times), fraternized with child molesters, and self-induced abortion. Only fond of her in Eternal Sunshine, Sense and Sensibility, and of course, Titanic.....

"Nothing is left of me each time i see her..." wow guys this movie is not to be seen BUT to be heard....yes Hardy could have written such expressions....Erich Seagal is a match "Love Story"...

Luverly Chris. What a sad movie!

did they smoke in those days?

Smoking tobacco was introduced to Queen Elizabeth the first by Sir Walter Raleigh. Since then people have been using it. That was when it was introduced in England though which is where this film is based. The Native Americans in North America had smoked it for spiritual and ceremonial reasons for a long time.

try amazon or ebay :)

Kate recites that poem with genuine feeling, as if Catullus himself speaks through the ages!

Hang on. Is that supposed to be Catullus 51? Ille mi par esse deo videtur? What she said: 'Hominus similis deus quis cedit ad latum' doesn't make grammatical sense to me at all. Am I going mad? Is this another poem altogether? Someone help!!

Yes it is Catullus 51 translated by Peter Whigham (1966). But what she says in what supposedly is Latin, is utterly incorrect(For instance: it's not hominus but homo). I think the script writers had the English version and just made a feeble attempt at rendering it in Latin.

Nice one. I thought it was odd how they used 'quis' - instead of the relative 'qui', (or how she didn't read Catullus' Latin at all!) It's not weird medieval Latin, is it?
