The death of the excellent director and producer Anthony Minghella reacted a lot of people: stars or politicians and more.

Tributes poured in from people as diverse as movie star Jude Law, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, the president of Botswana, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin Spacey and Ralph Fiennes

Jude Law expressed his feeling about the unfortunate death of director Anthony Minghella:

“I am deeply shocked and saddened to hear of Anthony’s untimely death. I worked with him on three films, more than with any other director, but had come to value him more as a friend than as a colleague. He was a brilliantly talented writer and director who wrote dialogue that was a joy to speak and then put it onto the screen in a way that always looked effortless. He made work feel like fun. He was a sweet, warm, bright and funny man who was interested in everything from football to opera, films, music, literature, people and most of all his family whom he adored and to whom I send my thoughts and love. I shall miss him hugely.”
Jude and Anthony worked together on 1999’s The Talented Mr. Ripley, 2003’s Cold Mountain and 2006’s Breaking and Entering.
