Girl With a Pearl Earring

4th movie of the night.

I wanted to see this. I know it's base on a book. I wanted to read it, but I’m going to have to watch this first.

Another art movie. I have high hopes for this. I know the book got rave reviews.

From this movie, it looks like Griet is the artist. She seems so more knowledgeable about art and is more visually aware than the master himself.

What's surprising to me was that Griet also speaks so very little.

That was enjoyable. I loved Colin Firth playing longing and desire.

Now I want to read the book to see what parts got cut; how true to the book they were. The description should be awesome. Hey, if the movie was great, then the book should be x10 better. I should hope that's what conventional wisdom says.

hey skeet! I thought it was pretty good, but I'm into art, so watching any art related movie interests me.
