The Queen

The Queen
"The Queen" is an interesting movie. Once you get over Helen Mirren's uncanny recreation of Elizabeth that is. This may not be the way the real woman is, but how we would like her to be.

The Queen
It's a story of power and how it is used. Make no mistake, she is still the monarch.

The Queen
It also shows the people in power at home, making tea and watching the telly. With crazy grandma and loudmouthed Philip.

The Queen
The movie revolves around the events of Diana's death in 1997, and the reactions of the Crown and the government of Tony Blair. The world really did lose it's mind that week, didn't it?

The Queen
It is a film that has several messages to give, as the best films should.
