spoiler spoiler this film strike me a a story of undying love and surround by lie and betrayal . the story revolve around three main character . there be a naïve young woman name may who be part of an upper class family in new york . as well a her fiancé and newland and who be a business man and also a part of an upper class family . and may cousin and ellen and a duchess who be temporarily in new york to escape her negligent husband . from the very moment that newland set eye on the duchess and you just know that he will fall in love with her and for she be far more sophisticated and mature than may . newland soon find himself have a passionate affair with his fiancé cousin . he be tear between the innocent young girl he give his heart to long ago and the worldly enchantress who represent everything he have ever long for . i do not enjoy this film very much until the very end . the unsuspected little twist be what make me look back at all the aspect of the film with understanding . it make me sympathize and even begin to like a character ( may ) and whom i think be too naïve and meek and and dimwitted throughout the entire film . she be actually a lot smart than i think and it be a shame that she have to die before her husband could realize it as well .
