Colin Firth in Easy Virtue

“Anyone who has married anyone knows you are going into a rival tribe,” laughed Colin Firth, explaining the theme of his new movie “Easy Virtue.” The handsome father-in-law in the venomous Whittaker clan in directorStephan Elliott’s remake of the 1924 Noel Coward play is married to a bitchy and funny Kristen Scott Thomaswho was directed to play her role more Disney witch. Firth has a thing for his son’s American bride, Larita, played ably, her performance evoking Kathryn Hepburn, by Jessica Biel.  As the prince of period movies, the quintessential Darcy—see “Pride and Prejudice,” (and he’s pretty great in the Bridget Jones franchise), Firth has occupied many a fan’s dreams, but here he is “a fellow who has gone feral,” he says, he is out of step, like a Hemingway character with post- World War I scars and it isn’t until his son (Ben Barnes) comes to the country estate with Larita that he feels a zest for life beautifully illustrated in a sexy tango the two dance amidst the uptight others, jaws amply dropped. Together, Firth and Biel represent the future, characters liberated from ideals that no longer work. In this time of mortgage crises, the Whittaker’s attempts to hold onto their estate will be resonant. As to his film choices—and you have to think of his role in last summer’s “Mamma Mia”—he regrets only one he turned down: “Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.”

One of the major problems that has confronted American society over the last couple of decades in the hyper-partisan atmosphere that is fanned by the 24/7 media. Instead of focusing so much on our differences, we need to celebrate those things that we have in common. If we would only look, it would become very obvious that we have much more in common with most folks than we have differences.

Don't you acknowledge that it's high time to receive the loan, which can make your dreams come true.

To be sitting long after dinner was a confinement that he could not endure. Neither wine nor conversation was any thing to him; and gladly did he move to those with whom he was always comfortable.
