I loved the period the movie was set in. I don't think we would love it as much if it was set in modern day you know. It's that classic-ness of the era that makes it so heartmelting.
I mean they didn't have e-mail or anything to 'warn' one another or keep in contact etc, Whereas if the movie was done in modern day time, that would have been the question you know, why didn't he just call or she call etc.
I loved James in this role, I'd love to see him do more period pieces like this.
Mel Gibson did a few, like Braveheart, The Patriot.
So that's what I mean when I say James should do more period pieces.
