Errol Flynn, the swashbuckling Hollywood star and notorious ladies man, flouted convention all his life, but never more brazenly than in his last years when, swimming in vodka and unwilling to face his mortality, he undertook a liaison with an aspiring actress, Beverly Aadland. The two had a high-flying affair that spanned the globe and was enabled by the girl's fame-obsessed mother, Florence. It all came crashing to an end in October 1959, when events forced the relationship into the open, sparking an avalanche of publicity castigating Beverly and her mother - which only fed Florence's need to stay in the spotlight.

When I heard about this movie I thought it was going to be a more or less biographical film, like the ones that were already made for other personalities (and it seems that, after "The Queen" and "Iron Lady", the trend is to take British personalities of most recent decades). But this movie was far from it. In fact, I don't know to what extent this film is biographical because its not able to decently tell the life of Diana Spencer, who went down in history as Princess of Wales by marrying the heir to the British crown. If we don't have well present in memory all her life we will leave the room without completely understanding the film, because it explains very little and focuses more on the time after the separation of the royal couple. And let's face it, many of us no longer remember her life. More than ten years have passed since her death and almost no one has an elephant's memory.Then we have Naomi Watts in the lead role. She is a good actress and was certainly a solid bet of the director, Oliver Hirschbiegel. The physical resemblance between her and the late princess is evident and was well used, but it lacks to this Diana the good script and solid dialogues that would give to the film a quality that, in this way, does not have. Anyway, since Diana is such a beloved personality even today, it took some courage to make the film, and so I can consider it was a merit effort, even if it failed at what was essential.

I was in great two when the Princess passed away..I' ll give the movie 6 stars and 1+ for Princess Diana.Talking about the movie, This movies is blessed with such a adorable biography.Everyone loves Diana, It is not an exaggeration to say she is the only one ever lived on this Earth to received love and attention from almost everyone of the Earth. But digging into the deep of her own soul, it questioned her love hunger soul, the women's lives inside the princess. Diana does dishes, laundries for her lover, Go out and romancing like a teenager, appreciate and admire her man's work. In fact, it is noble humbleness of noble women. The movie shines light on such details melt people's hearts with love, teach the world the power of love.Naomi Watts doing enough justice for her role and bringing out what the essence of the move,pure heartiest love.The appearance of Hasnat's mother, it is bit of a obstruct and conventional barrier. Yet Diana's smile compete it all. This movie as a cinematic work,could have been more sharp and shrewd but powerful biography of Diana overshadows all the late back points and make every second of the movie touched. Finally this is a must to watch Biographical movie" Someone where beyond right and wrong,there is a gardenI ll meet you there"

There are many challenges in producing a Biopic. The visual aspect, the audience already knows the characters, the impossibility of recreating at details every moment of one's life, and try to summarize it in a 90-180 minutes movie, the responsibility of keep up with one's legacy. The list to not even try to produce a biopic goes on and on and on and on.Hirschbiegel's "Diana" was heavily criticized by specialized press for not keeping up with Lady Diana's legacy. Or many of those critics just wanted to see more of all the scandals, or even a little more of the humanitarian Diana, more of a political movie. They wanted more than the simple love story in which stars, just by chance, one of the most influential woman in the 20th century.When Lady Diana died in August of 1997, I was a three year old in Brazil, which is to say that I don't really know how I reacted to the news, but I don't think I suffered it at all. In fact, Lady Di hardly lived in my imagination in my two decades of life, except to think how "exotic" or "unique" was her wedding dress (that thought was courtesy of many TV-Specials about Royal Marriage, as a preparation to Prince William's and Lady Katherine's marriage in 2011).So as a layman in the subject, Diana was a very interesting movie. It shows a troubled woman who have a hard time living by the crown's rules, who wants to make the difference in the world and make it a better and peaceful place, and somehow finds love in the arms of the only person in the world who don't care about her.By far the thing that I mostly enjoy about the movie was Naomi Watts. As in John Ridley's "All Is By My Side", Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln", Richard Glatzer's and Wash Westmoreland's "The Last of Robin Hood", David Fincher's "The Social Network" and Anne Fontaine's "Coco Avant Chanel", I was only able to see the protagonist as the character and not as the actor performing it. The image that I have of Lady Di, Abe Lincoln, Coco Chanel, Hendrix and Errol Flynn are the image of their characters in the biopic, being a romanticized version or an accurate representation of reality."Diana" have their share of cute but non-believable moments between Lady Di and Dr. Khan, even if those moments actually happened in real life. They lived a romance, but not IN a romance is what I mean. And those silly little moments that do not look anything like real life upset me a little bit. Feels like cheating in a test. On the other hand, there are moments with other Lady Di. The humanitarian Diana isn't very developed in scene, but you can feel it deeply and real, not just as a propaganda for fame, but as real care for the world and the situation. Some bits of the self deprecating Lady Diana also feels organic and real, with a couple exceptions of course.As a romantic drama, "Diana" is a good choice. Beautiful shots, a cool story and all that a good romance needs, once it is an adaptation of Kate Snell's book, "Diana: Her Last Love". As a biopic, it won't fulfill expectations, if you look for a historical piece. Is an introduction to the subject "Lady Diana", a good one I think, but it calls for supporting material if you wanna go deeper in the history.

Diana is biographical film about the life during the last two years of the late Princess Diana.It stars Naomi Watt on the title role and it was based on Kate Snell's 2001 book Diana: Her Last Love.The screenplay written by Stephen Jeffreys starts when Diana and Prince Charles gets divorced and then enters into a relationship with Dr.Hasnat Khan,a Pakistani heart surgeon.It also provides us her tours around the world to campaign against the use of land mines as well as her fashion causes.The film ends the mysteries surrounding her death in a car crash at a time when she was dating Egyptian Dodi Fayed.No question that this was one poor movie considering that the film barely provides anything new about Princess Diana.Everything in it has been already a common knowledge to anyone who is following the current events.It was made only to have a film depiction of the event that happened particularly when the Princess died on a car crash.It would have been better if it provided us something new particularly about the untold chapters of her life and more details about her that are mostly unknown to people.The only positive thing about this movie is Naomi Watts' portrayal of the late princess.But even that is wasted in a movie like this.A better film should be made about princess sometime in the future.
