i must confess before you read this that i be truly a period costume freak and and this time period be one of my favourite . that out of the way and i still enjoy this movie . in fact and i have avoid see it after it have screen and then after it be release on video . until my best friend and i decide to give it a whirl . i be not disappointed . i be even expect to be disappointment and and be instead actually pleasantly surprised . angelina and antonio be both admirable actor and be not hard to look at either . sure and it get sex and love and period costume and scandal . but so do a lot of other movie that aren not even half a well make a this one . if you do not expect great thing from this movie and if all you want be a decent story with some beautiful eye candy and then this movie be great . you may even be enthral like i be with the way the plot twist and turn and or how the power over someone be all in the mind . or the heart . overall and give original sin some credit and the benefit of the doubt . it might surprise you .
