FILM REVIEW

Most of us think that the film was interesting. There are some things that we liked more than others. For example; we all think that the film was too long, on the other hand, we liked the approach of the plot and we think that it is a very good way to see how people lived in the XVI century. We could understand the film better because we had studied before the history of this period, so we knew how the events happened and why they happened. All this facts helped us understand the characters,

Apparently, this movie review is for a teenager’s but it is actually, for everyone.

The history is about the queen of England (Elisabeth I), and the political situation of her country in the XVI century.

Some characters that appear in the movie are Sir Walter Raleigh who comes from the America, The New World and Elisabeth falls in love with him but her personal situation and her political condition made the relation between them become difficult and criticized.

The young Bess Throckmorton also falls in love with the young man .

The war between Spain and England plays an important role in the film.

The actors and actresses of the film are Kate Blanchett (Elisabeth I) who is the protagonist of the film and we think that she is a very good actress, because the role that she has to represent is very difficult and he makes you see how Elisabeth’s personality was and see how she reacted in front of the different situations.

Bess Throckmorton (Abbie Cornish) is an important character in the film too, because she is the lady-in waiting and the queen tells her all about her feelings . She falls in love with Sir Walter who also falls in love with her. Sir Walter (Cive ower) he is like a character out of his time, because he has gone to America an he sees a very different

People and ways of living. He is a very good actor but his interpretation is not very liberal. Sir Francis Walsingham (Geoffrey Rush) is a very important character in the film, because hi is the second of the Queen. He acted very well but we think that he doesn’t appear very much in film.

The movie has a unpredictable plot. Apparently, the light is good but sometimes it’s dark because the situation needs the that type of light, for example when they are in prison.

On the other hand the music is very nice, the music was created for the movie, it classical music.
