Hi everyone
My name’s Julia and I’m from Germany, however I’ve always been very fond of Great Britain and period films, so naturally a BBC miniseries about Elizabeth I would get my attention. Up until the 4th part everything was business as usual. And I was fully prepared to hate anyone who wasn’t Robert Dudley trying to win the queen’s affections. Alas I didn’t see this one coming! I literally went from shouting at my telly “You conniving little bastard!” to utter confusion to a thorough psychological analysis resulting in a full pardon of the Earl of Essex
(Trust me, I’m a psychologist!)
Anyway, I checked out the actor and was very surprised to find that I had in fact seen quite a few of his films without ever really taking notice of him (Mists of Avalon, Nero, Sherlock, Clash of the Titans, Tess of the D’Urbervilles), if you can believe it! So by now I’ve re-watched most of those films and am seriously concerned about my sanity, seeing that I am in my late 20s and show signs of temporary obsession and shameless misuse of the hyperactive (and oh so realistic) female imagination *g*
In order to not spoil the fun of projecting ridiculous stuff onto poor Hans, I am resolved to not want to find out too much about the man behind the myth, let’s see how long I can keep it up and when curiosity will get the better of me
So hi again, sorry for the rant & I shall enjoy this forum a lot I think
