Anyone else love the female lead?


Her voice is so sweet, of course she is beautiful but her voice is just awesome.

There is an ignorant thread on this board, prompting, that she was “terrible“, but I am with you. Beautiful looking with a memorable face and yes, her slow pronouncing voice is heart-rending, especially in the climactic scene, when she begs Edmond to let go his hatred.

Thanks for the replies guys! Glad I wasn't the only one who loved her. Why would anyone say she is terrible?

reply

She has a rockin' body, but I wasn't impressed by her performance. She didn't stand out in any way to me.


"Are you watching closely?"

I loved her as well. She was great as Mercedes and her emotions she convey are amazing.

I am writing a novel and the beauty of the love interest is meant to be unspeakable. I have been looking for a muse to visualize while I write and I have found her. In my book she is described as similar to Ashley Green in Twilight but I only ever saw that as a reference. Nothing meaningful. However, although I saw it years ago, the second I saw Dagmar Dominczyk, I was blessed.
She is so beautiful. If I am honest I think she was a terrible presence, and was similar to Kristen Stewart in here lack of vocal gravitas, all the pouting and sighing.
However, she is a perfect person to look at

She's a great actress and perfect for the part. As was this entire cast.

reply

Although you all have already made it clear you won't agree, I am here to tell you that I am one of those people who did not care for her. Just not a very good acting performance in my opinion, sorry. Perhaps, though, some of us find her performance to be sub-par in part because of the contrast with so many really good performances by the other principle actors?

reply

Are you serious? She was horrible in every way. She can't even speak.

No wonder she hasn't been in anything I've actually seen since then.

And IMO, Patrick Wilson could do better.

Agree. The love scene at the horse carriage was so moving. I almost cried even though I'm a guy who hates love films.

reply

Agreed, lovely soft voice.

reply

Agreed with the OP! I liked her in this movie!!

Prostitute: What the *beep* are you doing?
Johnny: I'm gonna kill a bunch of people.

reply

Nup. Quite a few of us didn't.

reply
