Since the promulgation of the US Constitution, the separation of church and state has become a very important principle in modern Western politics. But principles are principles. In reality, a person's religious beliefs have a huge impact on their behavior, not to mention the beliefs shared by dominant groups in a country. (In the early days of the United States, there were cases of Puritan persecution of Catholics.)

Watching the movie "Elisabeth-The Golden Age" last night confirmed this view to some extent. During the English Channel naval battle in August 1588, the Queen of England believed in Protestantism, while the Spanish King Philip was a devout Catholic, and the Spanish Armada was still carrying the Crusader flag and sailed to England in the name of the Holy War (Holly War). Strait. The Battle of England was a turning point in the replacement of old maritime hegemons by new maritime powers. Interestingly, in a way, it was also a victory for Protestant against Catholic. My understanding is that it is Protestant's respect for the individual's mind - the concept of declaring that individuals can communicate directly with God rather than conveying God's will through the church and priests, liberating people's minds, improving the efficiency of production and warfare, and making the United Kingdom It is possible to use pirates and other resources to carry out the war of resistance and flexible combat concepts.

Finally, review the movie.

The overall feeling is not enough, there are all the things that should be there: bed scenes (although it is rather hazy, but Chinese people like to be subtle), beautiful women (of course, it is not Elizabeth who no one wants, but Beth, the palace maid beside her), grand The war scenes of the show (although the time is very short, but the effect is not satisfactory), the clothes that have been touted for a long time are also quite fun. After getting used to the gowns in the domestic dramas in recent years, these bright colors are really eye-catching.

It is worth mentioning that we can also learn an allusion: the reason why Virginia in the United States is named Virginia is to commemorate Queen of England Elisabeth has always been a virgin.......
