Miranda Richardson; Period Costume

[caramelapples11]

A Miranda Richardson picspam. ♥

Made for the_friday_spam.

This week's prompt is my favourite prompt so far. I had loads of fun putting this picspam together. As I've said before, Miranda looks so gorgeous in period costume that she looks as though she's just stepped out of history. I hope you'll enjoy the picspam! :)

I am soooooooooooooo glad you did a Miranda spam! Empire of the Sun was the first Miranda movie I saw, and I loved her on sight :D All the pictures were absolutely gorgeous, and I especially loved The Night and the Moment pics!

Hee! I was pondering between Mary and Miranda, but ballion pointed out that Miranda is less represented. XD

I'm glad you enjoyed!

Awwww sooooo beautiful. I love The Lost Prince, I think I actually cried during that haha and Tom & Viv - love it.

Thank you! Oh, I sobbed my eyes out watching The Lost Prince. It was terribly sad; you could see how much the Queen felt, but was unable to express it.

p/s - I noticed you credited an unregistered username for the icon you're using. I'm the one who made the icon. :)

Lovely... just lovely! :-)

Miranda really does suit period costumes and older era's :-)
Great pics, enhanced of course by your colouring of them!

I've owned the DVD of 'The Night and the Moment' for years but have never got round to watching it; I've read and heard such terrible things about it - did you like it?
I adore Lena Olin so I really ought to get round to it, I suppose...

[caramelapples11]

Thanks so much! :)

She really does, doesn't she? In fact, I usually prefer her costume dramas more than her modern film roles with the exception of LOL, her occasional appearances on comedy/satire sketches on Brit TV. :D

I thought it was all about sex and more sex but since it's considered an 'erotic film', I suppose it should be expected. I did love the details on Miranda's costume though. Leave it to me to watch a film and end up studying the sets and costume design instead. XD

It's kind of hot. Worth watching, but don't expect much more than softcore porn :P

I think the main actor casting was kind of FAIL, because he's this Casanova sort of character who's slept with this great many women, and he's WILLEM DAFOE. I just... well, I have trouble believing that, because Willem Dafoe just isn't that sexy.

But the women are beautiful, so you should totally watch it.

She's lovely! I haven't seen her in much - just The Hours, PotO, and Harry Potter - but I was in love with her, and her character, in Phantom. I'm a huge Phantom phangirl in general, honestly, but I'm totally with you on loving the Erik/Giry relationship. It's fascinating. I don't really ship it, I'm pretty die hard Erik/Christine, but I'd have loved to have it explored more (and it is, in several of the books).

Anyway, enough rambling. Beautiful pictures, and beautiful spam!

[caramelapples11]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked!

Madame Giry is my favourite character of the film. I think if I'd seen another Christine apart from Emmy Rossum, I wouldn't dislike the character so much. I've never seen the stage version, only the film. I liked Leroux's Christine though. ♥

Books? There are books? :O

[averita]

I love Erik, Christine, and Madame Giry (though I like Emmy Rossum as well), and the dynamics between all three. I saw the stage version a few years ago in London and it was incredible, a totally different experience. I think Giry is the most mysterious, besides the obvious mystery of the Phantom, so that's kind of fascinating.

Yeah, beyond Leroux, there's the Susan Kay version - which I adore - and then theres The Phantom of Manhattan, which is pretty lame but has a lot more Giry in it!

They usually tour to Singapore, thus so far, I have not gotten the chance to see it yet. I remain hopeful. :)

Ah, thank you for the information! *Googles*
