Movie the Queen Review
The Queen review
Arle Uus
My opinion Movie The Queen is a drama film about British royal family. My first impressions were a little surprising in a good way because I had different expectations about it. The movie itself was very honest and close to the reality. I think that the filmmakers have done a great job showing people the life of the royals and ordinary people. Although it is a drama, I enjoyed that there was still some good old British humor. I would say that it is not only an excellent film, but it is also very educational
The royal family Helen Mirres, who is starring as Elizabeth II plays her part magnificently. She plays exactly like I think the queen would act. She was modest, honest, calm and regardful but still slightly sarcastic and high-spirited. Her family members’ manners, who were also nobles, were very appropriate to the royals’ behavior. Although they are just humans, they are not allowed to act like they want to and be themselves, they must follow the etiquette very strictly, which makes their lives very difficult. Tony Blair, his wife and family As a contrast to the blue bloods, another important role in the movie belongs to Tony Blair, the freshly elected prime minister, played by Michael Sheen. Opposed to the Queen’s old-fashioned political views, he represents new innovational worldview, which spices up the film a bit. He is intelligent, sharp, wise, hard-working. He loves his family, who supports him and is always behind him. Summary Although I’m not a cinema lover, I really enjoyed watching it, especially because I already knew some background information about the events that the movie describes. I would recommend this movie to people who love England and its

    Her reassuring motherly tone is emblematic of her love for her people. She formulates her speech in a very humble way that again makes her subjects more willing to believe in her than if she aggressive. She puts her people’s well-being before her own and to have a leader so unselfish, humble, and caring makes her endearing to her subjects. In the line, “My heart was never set on worldly goods, but only for my subjects’ good,” Elizabeth also does not give the impression that she knows everything but instead chooses to acknowledge if she makes a mistake (338). This humility provides her leadership with more credibility, and this is not one of the first traits that would come to mind when describing a king’s traits. This humility provides her leadership with more credibility, although it is a trait that king’s do not typically demonstrate. Yet again she balances strong and soft characteristics to get her subjects under her control. She does not keep them on their knees for too long and treats them equally while still exhibiting power in her words and her divine right to rule so as to be taken seriously as a leader even though she is not a…

    This movie was very interesting and kept me on the edge of my seat in anticipation. While the movie was sometimes difficult to follow, it worked well for the story. Because of the fast pace, I was forced to watch closely and pay attention to details. While the acting was not superb, Spacey and Linney did give very believable performances. The cinematography of the film flowed together smoothly and helped in distinguishing between present time and flashback shots.…

    Queen Elizabeth was a great ruler but had to deal with sexist stereotypes that believed women should follow their husbands and should not have any power. They believed men were chosen by god to rule the world. The people who fought for the queen said that the queen would never take attention from God and that it was the duty of the people to follow the ruler, and the ruler was Queen…

    The national spelling bee is a big thing and takes a lot of motivation to get to the final level. We watched eight students on their journey through the national spelling bee and I am going to talk about three of them and what their motivation was to get them that far. I have chosen to talk about Neil Kadakia, Emily Staag, and Nupur Lala. Now all of these contestants were in the top ten and Nupur Lala was the winner, and I feel that they all had great motivation to do so great.…

    Thank you for your post, it was a crisp and clear read. I felt so many emotions in this film. How did you feel about Albert, "Bertie?" He was almost like this lost little boy. He needed much help and was too stubborn at times to fully receive it. This seeded an emotional, and psychological feeling of unworthiness, especially for a royal. The subplots I agree were countless.…

    This film is an accurate and exceptionally well done adaptation of the novel. What made this adaptation so good was how it was put together; from the cast, to the added romance, to incorporating all important ideas from the novel into the film, without making it un-cinematic.…

    I have always wanted to see this movie, but never had the time to get around to it. There was so much hype going around about it. When I first heard about the movie coming to theaters, it did not sound like a movie I would like. However, when the word got around to me, I knew I just had to check it out. I must say that I am glad I sat down and watched it in its entirety. My first opinion was totally wrong.…

    This movie is very eye opening. I vaguely recall reading about this event in high school. I feel like the film did a great job at humanizing the little girls and their families. Instead of just thinking about the tragedy in a kind of abstract way, it allows you to relate to what happened in a much more visceral way.…

The recommendation for this movie could not be higher. It is a true…

    Hamlet 2009 review

    • 304 Words
    • 2 Pages

    In general, this movie was quite entertaining and memorable. The director did a decent job of not cutting out or changing the original version of the play. The director set the play in a more recent period, and costumed the characters in suits and ties. At one point Hamlet goes so far as to wearing a bright orange ‘abs’ shirt (a shirt with fake abs drawn onto the front), which made it quite funny to consider while he recites the serious and famous speech –“To be or not to be”. The camera work was not fantastic, as it was not very professional, and music, which I think is an important part of film, was often absent.…

    Without a doubt, it's a hugely compelling and thought provoking movie and it makes you ask very poignant questions about yourselves or anyone around. As we grow and get lost in the crowd we tend to keep away from the philosophy of life and seek only materialistic things, the money, the name, the prosperity while our purpose of existence and purpose of doing something still remains in question.…
