She hated that Elizabeth was about to take her place because she was a devout Protestant. But she couldn't kill her either. Elizabeth ostensibly converted to Catholicism, and everyone knew that this was a stopgap measure, but on the table, Mary I could not use this religious reason as a reason for her execution. Moreover, orthodoxy is also the foundation of Mary I's rule. From the side, Mary I's inheritance of her throne supports her ruling foundation, so Mary I cannot just kill Elizabeth.
With some luck, Elizabeth ascended the throne.
Just like a netizen said, don't look at the movie as history, after all, it has been adapted a part.
From the beginning of the film alone, it shows us how infidels are persecuted, how cruel and terrible.
There is a scene in the movie where the sexual intercourse is exchanged with Mary I alone in an empty room, which highlights that as a female ruler, you must force yourself to have a man's heart and cannot enjoy the loneliness of her own love for life. The look back at the end of her movie shows her loneliness even more. She wears the aura of the Virgin Mary. She is the mother of the people and is destined to not have a happy family. She can't let love blind her, once a woman falls in love, she loses her mind.
As a girl, love allowed her to say to Robert: You are everything to me. After Elizabeth ascended the throne, although she was still full of girlish hearts dancing on the dance floor, she already understood that she was the queen, and marriage was connected with politics. She is the daughter of Henry VIII. She is genetically destined to have a heart that desires to rule, and is not the kind of woman who needs to rely on men.
Robert in the movie may love her, but this kind of love seems to have a kind of flattery and compliment. He once said to Elizabeth when Mary I was on the throne: You will be the queen in the future, people will admire you and adore you, Celebrate your beauty with poetry. This sentence really struck her mind, and she laughed at that time.
A lover is unreliable to her, a weak man will only please her, and a strong man will rob her of her rights. She is a queen, how can someone disobey her, such a woman.
Sending troops to Scotland was defeated. She hid and cried, and she went crazy. These are all part of growing up and experiencing. After all this, she will eventually become a real queen.
At the end of the film, she is mature and full-fledged.
