Bronte

[niccimae]

So they are making a movie about The Brontes and horror upon horrors the terrible and wretched Michelle Williams is cast as Charlotte, my favorite Bronte of all!! I don't care about how good she supposedly was in Brokeback. Her squinty eyes and continual sort of pouting are not Charlotte Bronte!

I am so disappointed.

Hmm, I don't see her as Charlotte per se, but she wasn't bad in "You Without Me" before Brokeback hype made her less palatable. Her offscreen persona is vaguely Bronte-esque. She's apparently very shy. I don't blame you for being turned off, though. I can't imagine a Bronte movie. They weren't movie people. (Although their brother might have been.)

From the etchings I've seen I don't think Hollywood actresses or undiscovered beauties need to be playing Brontes. Brilliant women but not exactly lookers. I wish they'd quit casting conventional beauties in these roles.

Have you read the book The Crimes of Charlotte Bronte? it is quite crazy and suggests that she killed all her family and was then killed by her husband/her sisters husband (can't quite remember which) who was in cahoots with her.
