Ben Whishaw's character, Lord Sebastian Flyte, (in the film) is the one whom I could most relate to! I absolutely adore the fashions of the film, the style of the era, the actors within the film, and the beauty of the sceneries + story. It's an overall favorite film of mine... I have yet to read the book.
I so badly wanted to love this film, but I just couldn't and aside from Ben Whishaw's inspired turn there is nothing noteworthy in this mess of an adaptation.
