Diana, princesse du peuple

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.

working in television is a dangerous business when it includes having to watch such drivel as this...

i have to admit now that i am not a huge fan of diana...in fact i find this whole idolising thing rather sickening...but i went into this film with an open mind and i was saddened...

so many film directors and producers have brilliant ideas and they don't get made in preference for this...

no doubt people will still watch it - everyone knows what happens but it's watching the whole sorry scene unravel...

the actors could have been replaced by cardboard cut outs...and in some of the scenes i was convinced they were...mind you, it's not their fault, i would have found it hard to get into a script so flat as well...the characters are as one dimensional as you can get...don't expect any revelations...this is simply playing out what you want to see...

i've looked on the vote display and much to my surprise (and horror) i noticed that some people have actually given this film a 10!...this is hopefully someone who worked on the film otherwise we would have to institutionalise them...

watch it at your peril...

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.

I saw this film with my girlfriend last night for the first time. What can I say about this film apart from do not pay any money to watch it, the acting is dreadful, the script is just as bad, the sets are so cheap. They make Diana out to be a saint, don't get me wrong what happened to her was awful but she wasn't the saint the papers made her out to be. Sure she may have gone on to do a lot of good things if she had lived but everyone seems to forget the real truth. The scene with Diana, William & Harry trying the dresses on so cringe worthy. I honestly thought this was written as a comedy at first.

To the people who think this was a good film with good acting you really need to get a life esp the person who writes to Celebrities as a hobby, that is pathetic, do you really think they care about you?? Its because of people like you that need to live their lives thro celebrities that newspapers and magazines write so much about them. If you hadn't bought into this celebrity crap to start with the photographers wouldn't have been chasing Diana in the first place.

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.
