Query: Good acting but awful plot and filming.

The filming was grainy and at times brown tinted probably to give the movie an old feel to it. I thought it hindered this movie which should have been filmed with a brighter lense and without grain. As I believe the grainy filming distracted from the complexities of the costumes and atmosphere.John Depp of course is probably the best actor around these days and he did a great job acting in this movie.The problem with this movie was the plodding plot. The boring and cold relationships with each characters and the lack of action were also other problems. At times the movie was redundant and it dragged on for too long.This movie represents a typical tragic romance with little actual love or lust and a lot of disease and death towards the end. Basically it was hard to feel any sympathy for the characters in this movie.
