Bernard and Doris -a movie

The number eleven is arrived and this is a movie much like "Miss Daisy and her driver". 
A rich woman  and a young man who become friends with time. Both living in their own world but find a way to come together and understand each other better then anyone could believe. Also like the Miss Daisy movie, this story has a true history in the background. Sarandon plays a woman who was the first rich woman, quite scandalous in her lifestyle cos she did what she liked. Got the money from her father who owned a cigaret company and was also married but got divorced. She was smart as she had the luck to get to know the right people to make her money more, but also she was giving a lot of money to helping fonds and actually still money of her are given to those fonds and it's a lot of money, millions of dollars.
So Sarandon plays this strong women who always was rich, but never liked to be in public, although she had to do. Ralph Fiennes plays the new butler who starts to work for her, after he worked for Liz Taylor and Peggy Lee. He had a drug problem but seems to got over it. 
Both actors play the figures so nice, that you have a lot of fun watching it. 
The liberties they put in and some cliche they used are sadly too much or just felt wrong like the clothes they use for the butler- as he got more trustworthy for the lady, his cloths got more colorful- but for me they did too much to show his sexuality and what I know from the pics of the real butler, he was colorful, but not that much. Maybe they thought it was nice to put some more spirit into the movie with this, but I think it was too much and made it sometimes hard to watch. 
Otherwise this movie is a play which is try and clear in the way they made it, entertaining and interesting, with a shoot of drugs, parties and art. 
Part of the movie has been shorten for the sake of time or they did just knew to less about it. So it feels that they tried but should have better let it out, like the journeys the Lady has done. They did not help to tell the story and so the drug problems with the butler came a bit too short to show. 
All in all a movie you maybe never heard of but it's worth watching because of the play of Susan Sarandon and Ralph Fiennes.
