Being on her way to find her husband, Angelique gets in in all kind of unpleasant and dangerous situations: going onto the sea, being captured, raped, sold on a market... The movie is certainly not lacking actions - but compared to the books, a lot is missing and is twisted so that near the end becomes unsatisfactory. But like it is with most of adaptations for the movies, one must cast aside the books and appreciate the movies for themselves.
The movie, as it was told, shows how slaves were in the past sold on the market and how humiliating that process was for them: being stripped off in front of a huge crowd, their teeth checked... We learn what was appreciated and what features brought a lot of money for their 'owners'. This is one of the best shots in the movie and Michele did it pretty well when it came down for showing emotions.
