The Film Review - Diana


Almost everyone knows Lady Diana, the princess of Wales, however, only few people know her as an ordinary woman. This film is not a classical biography film because it deals with the last two years of her life, when she left the royal family and her life in Buckingham Palace. These two years were filled with charitable work, new will to live and new relationship with surgeon Khan.

It sounds like an ordinary romantic film. However, it is built on poor dialogues and on the fact that two people are arguing and being reconciled all over the time. This makes the film boring and finally it has no emotional effect.

Moreover, this film should be biographical, so I expected some political or biographical facts. But there are only few moments concerning Diana’s charitable work and almost no moments concerning royal family.

In fact, it is difficult to believe that this film has the same director (Oliver Hirschbiegel) as Downfall: Hitler and the End of the Third Reich, which was nominated for Oscar.

On the other hand, Naomi Watts, who plays the part of Lady Diana, portrayed Lady Di very well so at least one point is all right.   

However, in my point of view this film is a huge wasted potential. It could show why the whole world loved Lady Diana, but it became one of the most useless films of this year.
