It's the material - an actor can only work with the script they're given. "Elizabeth" was as deep as a dime. I thought Cate did a great job in creating an interesting Liz...gripping to watch in as far as went.

I blame the filmmaker, not the actor.

And thank you for the welcome back - I've missed the gang. iit's been a tough year with 2 deaths of people closest to me...my father and my foster brother...19 months of hospitals, care giving, nursing homes and hospice, one after the other.

It's probably one reason I enjoyed Death At A Funeral so Much - I'm ready to laugh again.

But an actor choose his material too. I always wonder why so many people did loved " Elisabeth ", I never could go fully through for a second time.
Ah! What can I say, like in a film look at MY scars...Our daughter passed away last year almost from one day to the other, two weeks ago our beloved dog, three years, did not make it after a minor surgery in his eyes, and suffocated when waking up, even we choose the best doctor with the most modern equipment, and three years ago while with our son visiting a friend, our puppy dog fell out the window and broke her back...
Want to ear more?

And I can still feel the pain from others, is that not good?
- Welcome back!

  Cate was just getting started and this was one of her first films...plus it did get her a lot of attention, on Oscar nom, and better roles.
  
  There are only so many great roles in great projects at any given year, and not a lot of them are for women.

    If asked which film would you recommend with a glorious role starting her?
    That would be pain, would it be not?
    Lord of the Ring or Charlotte Gray?
    
    But don�t put me in a corner that is not mine! I like her!!!
    
    Now if you look from this perspective about women in the film industry or elswhere, I can only tell you that if I were one, I would go on the streets and throw some stones in some windows....
    This men society is a shame.
    - Ah, but then I would say... - Harmonia 20:08:50 10/12/07 (1)
      Oscar & Lucinda, The Aviator, or Notes On A Scandal.
      
      Cate has never been in a movie commensurate with her talent.
      
      On stage is another story apparently, but most of us will never get to see her in theater.

        That close our discussion, as it is my absolute feeling too. With the annotation that SHE choose her roles.
        I think Kate Winslet has been better served in this aspect.
