Do you mean early 1900s or 1870?
I'm not really an expert here but I think her skirts aren't full enough to be 1700s or 1800s. Skirts were GIANT then!
Yeah, me too, Unless I have time to think through my thoughts before I an say them .
You've got a point about the skirts, but then some of those dresses are rather large. Although that light blue dress that Johanna wears (*gasp*) the detailing on that was absolutely incredible. I would think that it probably does lean a bit more towards the early 1900s.
We went to see the movie last night. It wasn't nearly as disturbing as I anticipated it being based on the descriptions I was receiving. Our audience seemed to understand and appreciate the darker humor, but there were still some things that I laughed at that no one else seemed to....perhaps that says something about me but ah well. My husband was far more disturbed by it, mostly at the end, the copious amount of blood in the final scenes unsettled him, but based on his experiences overseas I probably should have thought through asking him to take me to see it a bit more than I did. He said for the most part he thought it was pretty good, but that the blood and the way it pooled bothered him.
Overall though, I thought the cinematography was fantastic and the acting was just incredible. In the stage production, the part of the assistant is played by an adult, the choice of a child in the film production made the final scene all the more potent and disturbing. I thought it was a daring choice that really paid off.
In any case, I loved it. Perhaps I'm more warped than I thought...
