I love this movie!
Apparently, a lot of people think this movie sucks. But I personally thought it was great-the acting was good and the story was full of action, adventure, and best of all, hot sizzling romance! This movie is not easily forgotten-If you havent seen The Scarlet Letter, give a try!!

Oldman and Moore Star in This Tale of Greed, Revenge and Human Error
I am open minded enough that even though the Rev. Dimmesdale and Hester did commit fornication- as it cannot really be called adultery as they believed Hester's husband to be dead- that does not make what the townspeople in their so-called "New Jerusalem" did to "punish" Hester right or even morally acceptable in the sight of God. I found the majority of the locals to be judgemental, overly strict and downright vindictive and jealous from the very moment Hester came to shore early in the film.
Not to mention that her husband-who it turns out was taken by Indians and who shows up later in town- is no man of God either, and is so filled with revenge for Hester's infedility with the Reverend (spied upon by a peeping tom in the form of Hester's maidservant) that he becomes blinded by hate and places the uneasy but workeable truce between the towns folk and savages in serious jeopardy.
THE SCARLET LETTER is a moving and all too human tale of people judging one another and being filled with so much hypocrisy that they will do anything to appease what they wrongfully assume to be the will of God-even if it hurts their fellow man. Indeed the only redeemeable part of the town was the old maid who takes pity on Hester-even after the trial and perseuction commences-and aids her in childbirth, while the disheartened Dimmesdale must keep his vow of silence over being the father of Hester's child even though it makes him sick inside-and all the while a vengeful, evil man lurks in the shadows to avenge himself on them all!


Gary Oldman-of Harry Potter fame as Sirius Black as well as being known for his portrayals of Ludwig Van Beethoven and a young Commissioner Gordon from Batman- and Demi Moore (known for her work in such hit films as Ghost, G.I.Jane, Striptease and more) star in this fascinating journey into the heart of man and a woman who fate has conspired to bring them together- only to tear them apart.

Lest We Forget
We are rating this movie - not the grand epic of guilt, revenge and redemption that Hawthorne wrote.

This movie is trash. To comment that a character who is NOT in the book is underdeveloped is ludicrous.

Scarlet Letter with Indians and a happy ending is Fennimore Cooper. And we all know where his reputation is.
