Princess Diana
in Movies ·
So, I watched it yesterday and, unlike a ton of other people out there, I actually bought into it.
Their love story is just gorgeous and heartbreaking, and honestly, Naomi Watts is such a phenomenal actress—she’s got that raw talent and emotion needed to pull off a role like this. Maybe she doesn't look exactly like her physically, but man, she completely transformed herself. It was definitely a better choice than the original idea of casting someone who looks more like her but lacks the soul, like Jessica Chastain.
The movie isn't some sappy, mediocre, or pointless flick to me. It actually touched me—I was almost in tears, and I really liked it. I did a little digging online and found out the story was sourced from Diana's close friends and people close to Khan's family. So, I think it feels pretty authentic. Even Khan himself admitted that Diana broke things off with him back in July 1997. Basically, Fayed was just a smokescreen.
As for the setting, in the film, she played parts representing Canada, Australia, and Italy.
