1998 / United Kingdom / Biography Drama History / Shekhar Kapoor / Cate Blanchett Geoffrey Rush

After watching another girl from the Boleyn family, I slowly began to understand the stories about Queen Elizabeth's parents. For her, the responsibility she carried was huge. At that time, the British faced the monarchy and church power. In the check and balance, Elizabeth, as the ruler of England, opened a new era for her, and it was also a victory for the monarchy to check and balance the power of the church.

I still remember that Queen Elizabeth said to Lord Bergley at the end, I am married to England. She married herself to England and never married in her life. From then on, England started its golden age under her rule.

After reading it, it was still a bit shocking, perhaps based on the stories I heard about her before, and the fact that Britain grew under her rule.

    Looking back many years later, it feels good to find so many people who have become famous. It's like watching a blockbuster movie. Now the blockbuster movies can't invite so many good British + Australian actors. Joseph Fiennes and his brother have a totally different way of acting. . .

    Blanchett, Blanchett. I don't remember when I saw this film, I feel that as long as it is in the world with "Elizabeth", it will become famous. In the late Qing Dynasty, there was another Queen Elizabeth.
