Keira Knightley: Yay or Meh?

[retsuko]

So, yesterday, livyanne and I were talking about "Pride and Prejudice" and her annoyance for the Keira Knightly version came up. "What?!" said I. "Meh, Ick, Wishy-washy!" said she. (I paraphrase.) Apparently, Jennifer Ehle fans are more passionate than I thought.

I don't mind her one way or another--I just wish she'd stop looking like a stick and wearing odd clothes. Appearing in Go Fug Yourself's March Fug Madness Brackets and wearing things like this are not positive career moves, IMHO.

EDIT: For the record, Keira Knightly was in "Pirates of the Carribean" and in the feature-length adaptation of "Pride and Prejudice" that came out a few years ago.

on a certain level it doesn't matter what you look like-- if you are a woman, you WILL be insulted and judged in terms of your body, because you are always susceptible as a woman to being reduced TO your body. The ideal is always unattainable, no matter which side you err on.

I definitely agree with this point and I retract my former statement because it was judgmental on my part. Thank you for calling me out on that. :)
