Of course, I admit that this film has a lot of confusing nonsense. For example, Raleigh’s expedition to Virginia was moved before he entered the court (the nautical record does exist, but he went to Southeast Asia), and he and Classmate Beth was moved to the front of the Battle of the Invincible Fleet during the incident. What's more, during the Battle of the Invincible Fleet, Raleigh was mainly engaged in organization and management work, so he did not go to the front line to act in action movies. Not to mention the messy age misplacement inside... As for the absence of Cecil and Lester, it was destined for the first part, and the accounts cannot be counted on the second part.
To put it bluntly, if you really have love for this era, the above can still be recognized; if there is no love, it is not bad whether the textual research is rigorous or not.
Put aside historical facts for the time being. What makes me wonder most about this film is that the first half is clearly tuned (some lines sound comfortable), but why is the second half so magical? Especially unhappy about Elizabeth's reaction after discovering that Beth was pregnant-don't have to be so obviously frustrated, right? To be condemned, it should be such rhetoric as "As my waitress, your behavior is too unruly", "You have set a bad example for others", and "corrupted the morals of the court", not that. The shrew-like "How dare you grab a man with me?!" The LOTR section of the Invincible Fleet was very windy. Sister Cate, you were playing Galadriel~~ As for the fire attack, I don’t blame the director. The ins and outs are not something that a movie titled Elizabeth can tell. I really want to restore the truth. I can only use the spirit of "Gettysburg" to engage it for three hours, and then call it Armada.
BTW, Babington conspired for a while, that empty gun was too clever and lost its atmosphere. I agree to portray Philip smarter, but it doesn't need to be embodied in this way.
The most dissatisfied among all the actors is Clive Owen. This person has a loyal face and is more than romantic. He portrayed Raleigh with a high-level look, with great ambitions to open up a new world, and dismissed the status of court patrons; approaching the queen is a means, and seeking funding is an end... In short, there is nothing at all. The style of the sixteenth century. As for Samantha Morton, who most people are dissatisfied with, she thinks it's okay privately, and she looks haggard after years of imprisonment. I still like the performance of the actor Jordi Mollà, although he is not like Philip at all~~Abbie Cornish who plays Beth, the little girl is very sweet, but unfortunately there is no special feature. Sister Cate's skinny feeling is always cold. It can be said that the film is not good, but it cannot be said that she is not good at acting.
Finally, the cuteness and the most important thing in a certain heart belongs to our Infanta Aimee King! Princess, let me fall under your pettiskirt~~~~~~~
