The Duchess

Just watched this last night. I thought is was great. Firstly, I love period pieces and this one was done very well. Georgina (Keira) marries a Duke (Ralph) and thinks she's going to be very happy. Little does she know that the Duke only marries her to get a heir. She goes through misery and realizes as a woman in that time she really has no rights. She finds happiness with Grey for only a short time before she is given an ultimatum she can't refuse. It's terrible how the Duke treats her and how in the end she endures. I think women will like this movie, but men won't.
