Hi!
Well. To be honest, I liked the movie that we saw in class but I think it was too short, I couldnt notice all the details that I would liked to see. What it really catched my attention was the attitude of Elizabeth. She was a Queen but she acted like if she was a normal person. I know that in those times kings were like sent by god and they were like a supreme human being but in her daily life she asked with people in a normal way. Maybe it was just the director´s point of view but I thought it was really different to the rest of the kings that I have met. A second thing that it was important in her reign was her attitude in front of her "obligations" as a woman.
She lived in a sexist time when women had to have children and take care of the house, but she was the Queen and she didnt want to get married just because. She was so strong and reliable with her believes that it was a crucial factor in the war with Spain. Maybe she wasnt a great strategist but she know how to move the pieces in a perfect way and England could win.
Have a nice weekend!

ReplyDeleteDear Barbara,
ReplyDeleteI found interesting the fact that you state your impressions about the film. Remember that films are always the director’s interpretations. What you see in the screen is what the director wanted you to see. Maybe that is why you found the film too short.
When you wrote that Elizabeth was not a strategist you are mentioning that she had something beyond mere luck in order to be successful; maybe there was a special mystic in Elizabeth’s reign.
You also pointed out one key element in the film; the “Obligations” that some women had in those times. Elizabeth did not blindly obey because she was a determined woman who knew what she wanted.
Good ideas and interesting reflections!
Try to pay attention to some spelling mistakes.
Good work.
