For this movie I make no claim of rights or capacity to assess the history of the Beduins, know anything about the bio of the heroin, let alone care for perfect accents, and therefore have no arcing bolts of lightning for who should play what part. Thus, am a pitiful critic. What I noticed was a constant underlying love and appreciation of, and striving for deeper understanding for, the culture(s) of the people(s) of the Mid-East, and possibly some concern for how "foreigners" to the desert might work with them to develop a more peaceful shared respect. In this, I think Kidman's soft voice, gracious manner, copious knowledge-gathering mind, went well with with her obviously physically tough nature. And when I think of it, what better combination would win the respect of men who respected culture while having to be so ready to do combat? In any case, this is about someone who always did her homework before she entered into a situation, and when she couldn't outwit, she could soothe with the poetry of the culture of whom she was meeting. Thanks to the previous comments so I'd know where to begin with this. And, by the way, I want the soundtrack! :-)
