Customer Reviews of The Buccaneers
England will never be the same again.... This movie will appeal to those who enjoy Jane Austen productions like Pride and Prejudice or Sense and Sensability. It is set mostly in England of the late 1800's/early 1900's among the aristocracy, tracing the plight of four "noveau riche" American girls. The movie opens in America where the girls are scorned by the old money for being new money, so they head off to England for a "London Season". The hope is that after spending a few months in the esteemed society of the English nobility, the New York aristocracy would have no choice but to accept the girls and their families into NY high society. In England however, things do not go as planned.
Unlike Jane Austen's movies, where the girls always make good marriages in the end, and the bad marriages are always portrayed in a comical way, The Buccaneers portrays events in a much darker, more realistic way. The aristocracy (which at this point in history is suffering, financially) is preying on the young women for their money, and the young women, some of them, as stalking the men for their titles. Most marriages are not made for love, and even in those that are, there is a price to be paid to maintain respectability. With main characters also including a governess, a high-priced mistress, and an un-married matchmkater, this movie also explores the alternatives for women who didn't wish to marry, and the very stiff consequences facing a woman who wished to be free.
This is a beautiful, provocative movie.
It's Fascinating!
This movie is fascinating! It's all about the four idealistic and beautiful young women who were scorned by New York society because they were new rich, yet found husbands abroad, then finally, yet grudgingly, being received in the same society that scorned them at first. What I liked about the movie is the independence and freespiritedness that those girls displayed, unlike May Welland of the Age of Innocence. I liked Conchita Closson(Mira Sorvino)the most. She is very freespirited and doesn't cared for the opinions of others. She was the first of the group to marry, a black sheep second son, Lord Marable. His mother didn't approve of his engagement because his fiancee was of mixed race. Being multiracial, I can relate to Conchita. Forgive me for being partial, but I wished Faith Evans have played Conchita instead of Mira, but Mira is a very beautiful and talented actress too, no disrespect.
