Oooooh, I love movies set in this time period! Keira Knightly does so well in these kinds of roles. She doesn't look so good in those pictures though. Lol, is it just me, or is her face getting larger every year? =/

I think it's just seems that way whenever she smiles... she's still as [sickly] thin as ever.

I like these kinds of historical setting movies!! And Keira Knightley is my favorite actress!! She's great in Atonement.

I disagree. She has a thin upper body but DEFINITELY is one of those ladies that stores the fat in the thighs.

Just felt like I had to defend Ms. Knightley. So many people assume that she's this little twig, but...she's not. Many of these people are men who really don't understand a woman's body. Many women store their weight in their chest and stomachs. There are other women that just gain weight all over. And there are still others that don't gain anything up top and ONLY gain it in their thighs. Keira definitely falls into this category.

Anyway, I enjoy Keira in period films. She breaks away just enough (The Jacket, Love Actually, Domino, etc) so that we remember she is from THIS century, but she definitely knows what works for her.

Indeed this seems to be like a typical Keira movie. I'm not so excited about it but I like Keira though.

Ahhhh me, too. I've been trying to fix that this year so it's gotten a little better. But I'm still much thinner up top than I am at the bottom. I reckon if my bottom parts matched my top, I'd look kind of anorexic in a very bad way, though.

Anyway...Keira is my lesbian crush. The neck, the lips, the jaw...beautiful.

i went to see this last night - simply coz i love keira knightley (she's my lesbian crush too XD)

i loooove period films too and i quite enjoyed the duchess

it felt a tad long and drawn out, but if it wasn't like this, it wouldn't feel right though... iono hard to explain XD

the thing i REALLY loved about the movie was the COSTUMES. how i wish i could get hold of one of those outfits
i really like the one she's wearing in the first pic

I love Keira Knightley; she's a wonderful actress. I think period pieces are perfect for her. Some actors have certain films that really work for them. When i see Kate Beckinsale, i like her in sci-fi-ish movies because they seem to suit her (like Underworld, Van Helsing, etc). That's my opinion anyways. Keira does great in period pieces. She just looks "right". Can't wait to see this!

And about the skinny comments: she's not skinny lol. I think she's fine. I guess she does store it in the thighs more =)
