Diana, a Princesa do Povo

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.

I never heard of this actress playing Diana but she does a great job. She looks like her and does a great job of capturing her heart and soul. Diana was such a wonderful person. I write to celebrities as a hobby and I wish that I had written her a letter. All I can say is this, if this is how it really was I don't know how Diana stood it, being chased by those paparazzi a--holes wherever she went! This film also shows there was a lot of sadness in Diana's life. People have theorized the reason she was so good and kind and caring is the simple fact that she had suffered so much pain and grief first hand that she couldn't stand seeing other people in pain. She did so much and could have done so much more. It was a loss for the world. If only she had her seat belt on.

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.

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.***

Biographical film attempts at capturing vivid, beautiful, and charismatic people usually fail. What actress/actor could convey the qualities of a Marilyn Monroe, Lord Louis Mountbatten, Ava Gardner,or Jackie O? Here we have one of the worst examples of contemporary bio-films. Neither the actress in the title role nor the screen writer/director is professionally up to the job.If one were told that Mohammed El Fayed's public relations organization had commissioned this film it would be believable. Fayed senior is the only "hero" in this version of Diana's story. No guilt for the driver of the death car-- or anyone but the press--is implied here. Dodi's discarded fiance is also trashed along the way,(as Mohammed sees the possibilities of a Diana connection for his son). Low life in high places is all that is served up in Diana: the People's Princess.
