I have never seen the film before, so I had not a clear idea how it was going to be.
Elizabeth was the queen of England from 1558 to 1603. The queen’s personality was charm, she was full of energy. I could see in the film that it is not easy to be a queen; it is just not like in tales. First of all, Elizabeth’s cousin, Mary Stuart, who was the queen of Scotland didn’t get along very well with Elizabeth. The reasons are simple; they didn’t share the same religion. Elizabeth was protestant and Mary Stuart was catholic. Besides, Mary Stuart wanted to become the queen of England. She ended up being beheaded under Elizabeth’s instructions.
Elizabeth was a strong woman who didn’t give up easily. She always fought for what she believed was right.
She was known like “the virgin queen”, due to the fact she never got married. Some people recommended her to do it, but she was doing just great by herself. She left aside the role of a passionate woman and preferred to be alone in order to govern in a better way. Moreover she was interested in a good match; which means to get married for beneficial purposes.
England and Spain had a bad relationship. England was a protestant country and Spain was a catholic country. After Mary Stuart died Phillip II, king of Spain, decided to sent his armed forces to England. This was a very crucial moment; I think Phillip II wanted to take over England in order to be more powerful; he just used religion as an excuse.
I think this film was a good representation of reality; maybe not an exact one because of the changes that were made. It was good for me to know more about this period of time. I sometimes believe it was a long time ago, even though it means a lot for our time.
