Silk (WARNING: spoiler contained)

beautiful scenes
Keira Knightley as elegant as usual
The story line is quite attractive. (And that together with Keira actually made me went to watch this movie.) The scenes are beautiful as I have mentioned. However, the pace is a bit too slow, especially for those (like me) who haven't read the novel before. And choosing Michael Pitt as Herve is a totally mistake. I just bored by his murmurs.The ending did shocked me when Madame Blanche said the second letter is written by Helene. It just made me sad. How can a wife stand it and send out a letter like this just hoping her husband to forget this lady? *sign* The ending is heart-breaking as well. and there are so many questions waiting to be answered. And it would be better if English subtitle is added when those Japanese are chatting.
Overall, it is a movie with great storyline and scenes. It did leave space for us to think and feel. In the middle, some of the plot might feel nonsense but they are crucial for the story development. After you watch the whole movie and think it all over, you will really get something from it.
