Do you feel Keira Knightley's representation in period films is typical of stereotypical woman of that era. Films like: King Arthur, pride and prejudice etc.
 
What do you mean exactly? If Keira looks like a stereotypical women of former times or if she has the talent to act like one?
I would affirm both questions. I think the only reason why Keira is the perfect match for such characters is her fascinating talent and expressive face. I really like her because she is different from all the Hollywood glamour girls and divas. She is down-to-earth and and one of the most beautyful women I've ever seen.
Her new movie "The Dutchess" is another statement of her talent and gorgeousness!

I think she's a beautiful woman, if a tad thin, but she's not proved herself in the acting department yet. All she does it stick her jaw out and make insolent faces.

Pride and Prejudice was an absolute travesty, there was no wit or intelligence in her part at all, which is kind of the whole point of the character.
 
I haven't sent my students to do anything below the belt. They have been asked to hand in assignments by the 10th of October. They're obviously getting a move on. Most of my lot do all 2000 worRAB the night before it's handed in - and I can tell. :D

I don't know which two of my lot have been terrorising, but I imagine you'll see a Media Student 3 or 4 with time. They'll likely be the stoners who haven't done anything until the last minute. :sleep:
 
I had no idea I was a uni student yet...

I thought i had to wait another year and finish A levels

And yer we were told to come on by my teacher and get others opinions on our topics for research, it just happened that three of us in the whole class choose Keira as our topic. Thanks for the replies they are a big help, we are studying women in film.

I feel it is wrong for this lecturer to degrade his students and my work by claiming me, an a level media student studying at a secondary school, to be a student cheating in University.
 
No.
It's a bit weird that she only does that genre. She's talented but she neeRAB to do more genres to show all of it.

And she is naturally thin but not naturally emaciated. I don't think anyone is.
