I was getting a bit of HBC fatigue too to be honest, but I agree with the above poster - she was really good in The King's Speech and with a character that is not her usual type (which is kind of ironic since she started out with James Ivory, so in a way that's closer to her origins than any Burton film).

See my comment to the above poster.

I've seen James Ivory's Maurice and loved it... thinking I should probably go back and see his other Forster adaptations. :3

Watch 'Howard's End'! Wonderful book, wonderful adaptation, and HBC is delightful in it. Also 'Room with a View'. She's also in 'Where Angel's Fear to Tread' but i found that book depressing and so have never watched the movie.

*Maurice is wonderful, book and movie. :)*

i loved the book version of maurice, which is why i watched the movie. should read it again, it was really so good. sad that he never lived to see it published, though. :/ poor guy.

I know! I hope he knows that not only was it published, but it's much loved. And that being gay and out now is so, so much better than in his time.

It makes me sad to think of men and women like him who had to live their whole lives pretending, lying, suppressing, and never getting to love and be with the person/people they really wanted.

i think a lot of people in his time lived through the oscar wilde obscenity trial, though... to them, silence was a preferable alternative to being publicly tarred and feathered, as it were, and potentially executed (although, to be fair, the death penalty for "buggery" was removed in 1861). :/

Oh, I know. I just wish they hadn't had to have that on their shoulders, and i hope that they, somehow, if it's possible, know that it's not like that anymore.

It's not *perfect*, but it's so much better.

I have yet to watch The King's Speech. But for me, HBC will always be the girl from "Room with a View". That was my first contact with her, and because of that, I always had a soft spot for her.
