Miss Potter



My friend dragged me to watch "Miss Potter" last night. I thought it was Harry Porter at first but she insisted that it is "Miss Potter"... I even joked that so this movie is about Harry Porter's cousin? Then she tells she's the author of "The Tale of Peter Rabbit" and it's based on true story.

Beatrix Potter is a the world's most successful children's writer, a wealthy landowner and prize-winning farmer. You could see her perseverance in creating her dreams into reality, so adamant about her own beliefs and her determination to be with her true love. During that time, it is so difficult for a lady to have strong views and independent.

After watching, i was touched by the movie. It is another inspiring movie. I read "The Tale of Peter Rabbit" during my childhood days. I don't know who is the author, never did i know that it drawn and written from such a wonderful lady. If you have time, please go and watch it :)

My love for this movie:

Detailed Synopsis
Beatrix Potter has delighted generations of children with her books. But she kept her own private life locked carefully away. Oscar-winning star Renee Zellweger is now bringing her secret story to the screen in "Miss Potter," the first film directed by Chris Noonan since his charming 1995 movie, Babe. It is set in the high summer days of late Victorian and Edwardian England, during which Beatrix develops her natural skills as artist and story-teller. When she finally publishes her debut book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, she becomes a writing celebrity. It also leads to courtship and her first love with publisher Norman Warne, played by Ewan McGregor. Their relationship and his marriage proposal in July, 1905, was to change Beatrix's life for ever...
