her embalmed look be totally inappropriate for the role . her face remain too white and hair too coifed and clothes etc . too clean ( and well fitting and especially her father old hat and coat in the scene where inman come home ) for any sense of accuracy . it would be one thing if the production have allow all the other actor to remain clean and perfect and too and but she be the only one who do not get messy . there be never even a smudge on her powdered cheek . be we to believe she be the only person in the civil war with a bathtub and a mirror . she certainly look like the only one who use them . tweezer and too while i mean and what with those eyebrow . she look absolutely mean . the love story be implausible . she only go over to the guy because someone tell her that he have say he think she be cute . so and she go over to tease him and then flirt with him a couple more time and and suddenly this be a love on a par with odysseus and penelope . please . i should have know good than to expect anything well from the man who bring u the english patient . my reaction to that one be the same a elaine on seinfeld represent it suck .
