watched several Queen films at once, from [Another Boleyn Girl] to [Elizabeth] and its second Golden Age, to [The Young Queen Victoria]. I like [Elizabeth], not only because cate blanchett plays well, the queen has a unique temperament, the movie itself is very exciting, the movie tells about the queen's enthronement process and the difficulties encountered in administration, the most notable of which is the religious contradiction, the dispute between Catholicism and Protestantism, In this movie involving religion, the whole film uses a lot of "God's perspective" (looking down), from the opening "God" to examine the execution scene, to the ending scene of the queen's inner monologue, and the perspective from the top of the church is really spectacular. To reflect this religious topic film from the perspective, the director makes "God" as a bystander, the audience, think it ingenious. The second film was directed by the same director, although the angle of view was not used much, and the film was shot upwards at the beginning. . But there are also unique places.
In terms of local hue, before the queen's inner transformation, there is always bright red on the clothes, representing immaturity, and then mature and stable colors such as dark red or dark green. Tonal, the dark tones of the Bloody Mary era, the appearance of Elizabeth in the film is always sunny and colorful, especially the afternoon when she is announced as queen, the whole room is sunny, using two optical transitions (light phantom) - to reflect the sanctity of the event.
I also learned about British history by watching the movie. Elizabeth was the last monarch of the Duze Dynasty. Her ruling period was the golden age of Britain. Her half-sister was the famous Bloody Mary, who was Catholic. She was baptized by Protestantism. Her mother was a usurped queen who was beheaded by her father, Henry VIII. She has always been considered an illegitimate daughter, and her mother was considered a prostitute. . She will never marry. According to the film, she is married to england and has no master. She is all for the country, so there are many inner monologues in this film. I like that before her first meeting speech, she rehearsed the speech for the camera. , including the inner monologue, the montage lens used directly reflects the state of fear and anxiety at the time (this part is really recommended for everyone to watch). Another inner monologue is that when she finally cut her hair and did not marry for the rest of her life, Cate played well and decided to give up her own happiness. This is also one of the recommendations.
The second movie is the one that cate has received many nominations for. I prefer the first movie, just watching the movie.
