Diana: A Tribute to the People's Princess

Having recently re watched this movie after nearly ten years of it's first screening I can't believe how awful it is. Having been made in 1998, it must of been rushed out in no time and it just looks it too. Amy Seacombe who played Diana, although not a great actress did resemble the Princess in a small way, which is more then some other actresses have done in the past, but you just can't stop thinking 'ham' when you watch the acting. The boys who play William and Harry are incredibly annoying, particularly Harry who bounds around like a over excited puppy for most of it. The scenes between Diana and Dodi are cringe making. They talk about making love and making babies, and all Diana could utter was 'that sounds exciting'. That was definitely a moment to hide behind your pillow. It would be nice to see a movie about Princess Diana, but a quality one. Diana: Her True Story was only slightly better. Please, please do not spend your hard earned money on buying this on video tape or DVD. Wait for a cable show to air and judge it yourself but quite honestly, the movie is appalling, the script is bad, the acting is far, far worse then the most z-list soap opera and has hardly any redeeming qualities at all. In fact it has no redeeming qualities at all! A good film if you want a laugh, but if you admire Diana or are looking for a decent Diana film, avoid this like the plague.

This was quite simply an insult the memory of Princess Diana. The directing and writing could have been done better by a three year old. The acting is rubbish. No wonder Di's sister Sarah wanted this rubbish to be burnt before it was even aired. The 'content' which saw an English speaking "Dodi" tell "Diana" "We'll go back to England and make a baby daughter" No seriously. It was just dire from start to finish.I would rather poke my eyes out with hot sticks than have to sit through this again. Straight to video was it? I know I saw it on a Cable TV network. Please for the sake of our own eyes, never watch this or believe any good reviews.

STAR RATING:*****Unmissable****Very Good***Okay**You Could Go Out For A Meal Instead*Avoid At All Costs

Today is the 3rd anniversary of the untimely passing of Princess Diana,and,compared to how it was about 2 years ago,much of the mass hysteria and general hype have calmed down,though the awareness of the many great things she did is still widely acknowledged on this landmark occasion.In the marking of this,I came across this TV drama on the life and times of her on UK Living ,and it did it's job quite well.

It portrayed her as she was,an unselfconscious,completely genuine person,who received all the completely unwanted attention of the newspapers because of this.Although this only really seemed to focus on the build up to her untimely death,and did'nt really focus much into her life before this.It seems here her life moreorless began in the summer of 1996,before she'd even given birth to either of her two sons,although this may have detered the cause of what it's ultimate intention was.Also,it was quite funny seeing how the actor's who played the roles of William,Harry,Fergie,Nelson Mandela and Mother Teresa looked like on screen,despite their good performances.

Certainly,all the reflections of a very TV movie shine through,but I'd rather watch this simple,unidealistic TV movie than some big hyped,over promoted hollywood disaster designed entirely for profit.***

This movie shows the caring side of Diana. She was a lovely young woman who cared for her boys very much and she also cared for the less fortunate of the world and the way she cared about those effected by land mines. I imagine that if she had been alive now with the disaster of the tsunami would have been one of the first to help. The lady who portrayed the princess did a wonderful job , she looks very much like her and carried her self like a real princess. It was so sad when she died in the movie it brought back many memories of the day of the accident and the days that followed.

That was a sad day for England and a sad day for the world.

She was the reason why my father gave me that name after I was born. All it took just a tragic car accident in Paris to make me trying to find out about my name and everything in between.

This was shown here like last year or something on the cable. But I know it's on the anniversary of her passing. Showing the final year of the life of a people's princess, and the one whom many around the world so adored.

I did remembered I did some reading on some of the things the late Princess of Wales had did and some of it did appeared in this tribute and other stuff I had never known as well. It's almost a little strange now to think that when she was killed in that car accident, her sons were still in their teens.

The late of Princess of Wales is still the reason why so many around the world still love her, even when she is already in the other world. But the craziness of the paparazzi is what up till now, I can never often understand at times. Maybe this is the price of fame. But whatever she did in those charities she is part of is for the sake to help others.

Recommended for those who want to know about her final moments in this world, far from outside the international media's eyes.
