It's Britain's golden age, but not hers

I still remember watching the previous "Elizabeth". Cate Blanchett is still young. The plot has been blurred, but the dance is very impressive.

In the thin English sunshine, outside the gloomy castle, wearing a blue dress, she was led by the man to dance. She was not a queen at that time, just a young girl who was imprisoned and threatened with death from time to time.

In "The Golden Age", she watched her waitress dance with the pirates who returned from their adventures, stepping on the beat, step by step, thinking of the past. And she is old. Neither the Queen of Childhood nor the Golden Age is what she really wants.

A lot of people say that the screenwriter is too bad. It's true, the plot leaves little room for Cate Blanchett. Watching Bess and Sir Raleigh's brows with gusto.

Although the scenery is beautiful, the scenes are grand, and the costumes are gorgeous, the script is too weak or flawed. If it weren't for Cate Blanchett and the previous "Elizabeth" support scene, it would be a bit boring.

    The perspective of the adaptation is too modern, so the whole footing seems to be out of character.
