[color=#3f3f3f][font=Verdana, 宋体, helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=12px]The British actress Keira Knightley has[b]rejected claims[/b] that her latest film The [b]Duchess[/b], a historical drama set in the 18th Century, [b]parallels[/b] the life of Princess Diana.
[p=21, 2, left]The film tells the true life story of Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, who was the [b]great-great-great-great aunt[/b] of Diana, Princess of Wales.[/p][p=21, 2, left]In the film Knightley plays an[b]aristocratic[/b] woman that is trapped in a marriage to a man who is in love with his [b]mistress[/b]. It is this [b]storyline[/b] that mimics the experiences of Princess Diana, who married Prince Charles only to discover that he was continuing a long-standing [b]clandestine relationship[/b] with another woman.[/p][p=21, 2, left]Even the film’s [b]tagline[/b], "There were three people in her marriage", suggests a link to Diana’s story, as it bears a remarkable similarity to the words the princess used to describe her own situation in a [b]highly candid[/b]1995 television interview.[/p][p=21, 2, left]Speaking to the BBC, Keira Knightley was quick to [b]play down[/b] the similarities in the stories, saying her [b][url=http://d.24en.com/s/?wd=character]character[/url][/b] was "an interesting enough person to [b]warrant[/b] a film completely about her without comparisons".[/p][p=21, 2, left]In fact the 23-year-old actress claims not to remember the story of Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s [b]doomed marriage[/b].[/p][p=21, 2, left]"I was 11 when Diana died, so I don’t really know what the actual story is so I don’t feel I can comment on the parallels," Knightley [b]scolded[/b]reporters at a recent [b]press conference[/b].[/p][p=21, 2, left]Whether the Diana connection exists or not, The Duchess provides a fascinating insight into personal relationships in a society where [b]divorce[/b]was [b]taboo[/b].[/p][p=21, 2, left]The film is also a [b]visual feast[/b] as the architecture and fashions of 18th Century England are [b]painstakingly recreated[/b] down to the smallest detail.[/p][/size][/font][/color]
