Rachel Weisz is a continuing reminder of why I adore Englishwomen. As an actress, she's able to transform herself into any conceivable role, in the British thespian tradition. The first time I saw her, in 2003's Runaway Jury (loved her, liked Dustin Hoffman, didn't like the movie so much), she played an American; I thought she was an American! :-O More recently, she has appeared in The Constant Gardener and the recently released The Fountain, directed by her fiancé Darren Aronofsky.
Weisz probably lost a few American fans when she insisted that her American fiancé was two things most American men aren't; a cultured individual who is secure about his masculinity, and someone who can find Europe on a map. She was possibly taking a subtle dig at our President, George W. Bush. Not only is he an uncultured, macho lunkhead who doesn't know where Europe is, he probably doesn't care where Europe is! :-D
