Just a coupld of things I noticed. When farmer is farming with his son he talks about how hard it is to grow crops and how tough the dirt is, but when he is burying his son he is using beautiful black dirt. So obviously the dirt in that region is perfect for agriculture. Ok, so young Helen Hunt at the beginning of the movie is apparently great with a sword and she wants to be a warrior, which would lead you to believe that she is super badass, but instead, every time she has a chance to fight she does nothing. She doesn't even catch the duke, a bunch of wood nymphs do. I'm pretty sure he handily defeats her with a sword too. Maybe I'm remembering that wrong though. And lastly, her dad has no idea she is magical? He gets pissed when he finds out he was banging the magic out of her and says "you've tipped the scales, you've doomed the kingdom." or something to that effect. But at the end when he is dying he is all "oh, I was so blind I hshould have seen this power in you," or something along those lines. So are we too believe that he thought that Ray Liotta getting laid would upset the kingdom? Also, she knew her dad was mortal enemies with this dude. Why in the hell would she be banging him? Of all the characters in this movie leelee sobieski was the most frustrating, by far.
