I love historical movies. I love that feeling of being swept away to another time, a more romantic era than my own. This past weekend, I watched Elizabeth The Golden Age. Elizabeth, which is part 1 of this series, came out several years ago but I just saw it on DVD in November of 2007. Because of my busy lifestyle, commuting back and forth to the city, rushing everywhere I go, I have no time to create a romance of my own.
I loved both movies, Elizabeth and the Golden Age. Absolutely loved it. Cate Blanchett gave a wonderful performance as Queen Elizabeth. I loved seeing the transition from timid princess who relies on advisers to an unflinching queen who led England into prosperity. She kept her humanity, kindness and love of her country throughout her reign. When she blasted the Spanish embassador with the “I too can command the winds” tyraid, it gave me chills. Thumbs up to Elizabeth!
