Das Mädchen mit dem Diamantohrring (2008)

Das Mädchen mit dem Diamantohrring: Directed by Jodie Markell. With Bryce Dallas Howard, Chris Evans, Will Patton, Ann-Margret. A rebellious socialite defies social conventions for a once-in-a-lifetime shot at true love, only to see her hopes shattered after a priceless diamond vanishes into thin air. Adapted from a long-lost Tennessee Williams screenplay.

“This film tells the story of a governoru0026#39;s grandson who lives a poor life with his constantly drunken father. He catches the eye of an heiress who is obnoxious and is very unpopular. He has to make a choice whether to respond to her advances.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;The Loss of a Teardrop Diamondu0026quot; is quite a strange movie because the main character is very unlikeable. She is rude and manipulative, and basically not a joy to be around. Fortunately, Chris Evans provides the eye candy for viewers. His character is very much the opposite of Fisher, which provides a bit of morals to balance the filmu0026#39;s atmosphere. The story itself is quite plain for some strange reason. Though things do happen, and there is suspense and tension, I just donu0026#39;t care for the characters and I canu0026#39;t get into the film. The ending doesnu0026#39;t have enough closure regarding the diamonds, I think. The elderly womanu0026#39;s fate and the relationship between Fisher and Jimmy is also slightly too ambiguous.”
