Little Zee's Picks: Restoration

For all those Robert Downey Junior fans out there, I present to you one of his greatest movies. Well, at least in my opinion.
Restoration is a wonderful movie, about love, lust, and happiness. (Sounds like a chick-flick, and, well... I hate to say this, but yes. Yes it is.)
Here's what it says on the back cover: "Invited to the court of the charismatic King Charles II, the high-spirited young Robert Merivel cheerfully abandons his medical studies to accept the post of Royal Physician. At the King's request, he enters into a marriage of convenience with Celia, the youngest Royal mistress. In return for knighthood and a country estate, the King commands Merivel to forgo any conjugal rights to his bride. But Merivel is unable to control his lust for Celia. She firmly rebuffs his advances, and the King, enraged at Merivel's disobedience, strips him of his land and title. He is forced to seek shelter within the confines of an austere Quaker hospice run by a former medical colleague. Once again, Merivel falls prey to the temptations of the flesh, and seeks solace in the arms of Katherine, a patient. Found out and expelled, Merivel takes the now pregnant Katherine back to London. At last he harnesses his resources and in the face of extraordinary adversity, redeems himself as a physician and a man."
This movie is AMAZING. It won several awards for the costumes alone, and if your a person that's fascinated with that time in history, then this is the movie for you. It's one of those get some ice cream, put on your pj's, and sit on the couch, because it's a super-sad movie in parts. I recommend this movie to just about everyone. I would give it about 4 stars out of 5, just because it was kind of slow in parts, and some parts of it tended to drag on.
