LOVED THIS MOVIE
THE PAINTED VEIL
I had this movie sitting on the shelf, kept passing it by to watch others. Wow, I LOVED this movie! It was so good, so wonderful. Edward Norton and Naomi Watts were spectacular! What took me so long to watch and totally enjoy? I was INSTANTLY immersed in this movie.
The scenery is breath-taking, the plot great. Set in the 1920's, Watts and Norton, marry -- she to please her parents and to basically get out of their house. Norton is taken with Watts and is in love with her. But, ALAS! He doesn't know how to show his love and he is too deeply involved in his work in the medical field to realize he is shutting his wife out. She gets involved in an affair with one of their friends.
Norton finds out, and to me, it seemed out of resentment, he takes a job in China to help fight a cholera epidemic. Wow, how nasty and awful this place is. While Norton is loving being there, having the medical time of his life, Watts HATES it there. To make matters worse, Norton is full of resentment and punishes Watts by ignoring her and being mean and nasty. Watts seems to be slowly going out of her mind, being in a foreign place, full of disease, political uprisings, dangerous situations!
We are taken through this village fighting cholera and the marriage and relationship of Norton and Watts. Diana Rigg as Mother Superior was wonderful, she is a superb actress.
The movie is a tear-jerker but well worth every kleenex. The ending is sad and leaves a lesson learned -- don't waste time playing games with those you love.
I HIGHLY recommend this movie, although I am probably one of the last people in the world to just have seen it. If you are in the small minority of people like me who have not seen this movie, PLEASE check it out. You will love it. Watts and Norton are such good actors and the movie is wonderful.
Thank you!!!

Captivating story....
of love, lust, betrayal,forced circumstances.How amidst such negative influences some of the characters found a sense of purpose and fulfillment helping others in far more dire situations. Beautiful cinematography plus Norton and Watts brought the story to life.
