Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

j-snipes When the two principal characters are shown looking into the camera obscura, the image is shown right side up, exactly like the real scene in front of them. The image inside the box should be upside down, since a camera obscura's lens in the real world would produce this effect. I assume that the director deliberately chose to show this incorrectly in order to demonstrate the light (and image) entering the box in a way that the audience could understand. Still, it was a glaring error.

adonis98-743-186503 A young peasant maid working in the house of painter Johannes Vermeer becomes his talented assistant and the model for one of his most famous works. Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003) is one of those movies that if you're lucky enough you might actually enjoy? But in my case i was bored out of my mind also who thought that casting Scarlett Johansson as a 16 year old girl seemed interesting? She looks over 20 in here and not even the talented cast can save it from it's flaws it's boring, the characters are boring and the whole movie is just uninteresting and personally it might actually be one of the worst films that Johansson was ever part of. (0/10)

DonGateley Girl With a Pearl Earring is all textures, colors, light, sound, and Charlott's face. Despite the awesome sensory smorgasbord and a palate that would make Vermeer proud nothing stands out to anywhere near the degree of Charlott's face.The greatest acting performance of all time measured by what she had to upstage.See my page at https://plus.google.com/107486172052080671382 for my review of this and much, much more. All it requires is suspension of disbelief and I have made that as easy as it could possibly be. Well it seems that I must add on to this so I will note the difficulty that I am having with my keyboard getting it to capitalize anything on the left side.

olya-79344 There are some movies that can be called "my movies" from the first minutes." The girl with a pearl earring" is one of them for me. This movie is rather unusual, not all people will estimate it. The picture doesn't have fascinating plot or prompt development of actions. It is far from a mad rhythm of modern life. That's why it's so charming.The acting is impressing. It is very important that actors are deprived of a present raid for such films. Colin Firth ideally got used to a role of the mysterious artist, a creative person. He is shown acute, thoughtful, impulsive and imperious.Scarlet Johansson showed us the pensive young girl masterly. Her heroine is naive a little , but she has fine sense of beauty.It is one of the few movies which I know where love is expressed by views and gestures. Jan Vermeer and Griet's relations are pure and touching, and we can understand their feelings to each other without words. There are pretty number of dialogs in the film, but the essence of the movie is transferred precisely and beautifully. All picture "is surprisingly silent" and it creates its atmosphere. I think, this "silence" , the muffled colors and bright white light so helped to recreate measured life of medieval Holland from which it is impossible to take away a look.We see green channels and dirty streets against contrast: picturesque landscapes, quiet avenues, pure sheets in the cozy small court yard. The film is very atmospheric, you derive aesthetic pleasure from viewing. Moreover, the requisite is picked up with a big accuracy and attention.There is a separate wish to allocate Alexander Depl's music, without it "The girl with a pearl earring" would lose a half of the charm. It made strong impression on me, the movie ended, but the desire to listen to this wonderful music again and again remained.It is natural to become interested in Jan Vermeer's creativity after the movie. Unambiguously I recommend "The girl with a pearl earring " for viewing.
