The great director
He started his carrer at Bollywood, as director of movies like Masoon or Mr, India, very popular movies with great reviews. Then, he directed Bandit Queen, another great movie.
Elizabeth, the golden age.
This movie talks about the brilliant goverment of Elizabeth I, and it present the conflict between Elizabeth I in England and Felipe II in spain, who said that all the world would be catholic, even if he should figth.
When Elizabeth I of England ascended to the throne in 1558 as a Protestant Queen, almost half of the population of England was Catholic. However, with his usual cleverness, he preferred to see them all as their subjects regardless of faith. His reasoning was that the people wanted it, whether Protestant or Catholic. Even went on to say: "Do not want to open the windows to the soul of men". During his reign, Elizabeth I of England proved to be tolerant of their Catholics subjects, which protected against protests and persecution, many of them born in his own house. This film speaks of tolerance against fundamentalism, an issue with current resonance.
Elizabeth's love: On a more personal level, ELIZABETH: the golden age goes beyond political conflicts to show a woman who is behind Elizabeth I of England, the conflict that causes your step of threatening divine Queen woman, due in part to his relationship with the soldier and adventurer sir Walter Raleigh. Explore the triangle formed by Raleigh, Elizabeth and her favorite Lady-in-waiting, Bess Throckmorton. The Queen is engaged in a hard game of chess with the dashing Raleigh and the beautiful Bess... to finish living relationship which denies itself through the young Bess. Somehow, Elizabeth expected to be able to keep the mind and spirit of Raleigh just for her, while she gives her body through Bess. But the wager is daring and ends up losing control of the heart of Raleigh.
With all this, we know that this big queen was more than a queen. She was and amazing person, with love, compassion and a lot of feelings, but she had a hard temperament, because like with all people:
Love makes people show the best, but it also shows the worst.

You show a very interesting view of the way than the movie it’s explains, because the movie is divided into two parts, the historical part and the life of Queen Elizabeth. This post really helps me to understand more the love triangle between Elizabeth, Sir Walter and Bess, and the form that the Queen represents her feelings.
ReplyDeleteI like very much the way you explain the movie because I got lost in many parts of the movie, but with your post I can understand it in a better way.
