(10 points) Are you looking for a DVD to watch this ‘weekend? I've just watched the film Elizabeth and, though it’s not the best film I've ever seen, I think it’s worth watching. Elizabeth, which was originally released in 1998, received high ratings. However, if you like biographical films which are historically accurate, you will probably be disappointed. The film is about the early reign of Queen Elizabeth I, but itis more fiction than history. ‘The film begins in 1554, during the reign of Mary Tudor, who was Elizabeth's half sister. Mary has put Elizabeth in prison because she believes that she is plotting to kill her. In 1558, Mary dies and Elizabeth becomes queen. She must rule over England at a time when it’s under threat of invasion from France and . Spain, She manages to overcome these thredts and executes the people who are plotting her downfall. Even though many men want to marry Elizabeth, she never marries. The film ‘ends with Elizabeth saying, “I am married to England’, ‘The leading role is played by Cate Blanchett, who was nominated for an Oscar for her performance. In the film, Elizabeth is not confident in her new position as queen and doesn't know anything about polities. In reality, the woman who took the throne in 1558 was an intelligent and experienced politician. She was not afraid of her power and knew how to use it. The costumes in the film do not look like ‘clothes from Elizabeth's time. This is very surprising since there are many paintings of Elizabeth. Its even more disappointing when wwe consider the fact that Elizabeth Nerself paid a lot of attention to her clothing and her appearance. She knew it was important to impress her people and her enemies. Yet, even though the film does not present an exact picture of life during Elizabeth's reign, it is still worth watching because of the exceptional acting, Joseph Fiennes gives a particularly good performance in the role of Robert Dudley, one of Elizabeth's most loyal friends. 1.
