Miscellaneous Movie Musings

If a film does not grab you within the first ten minutes or at the very least the first twenty minutes, it never will.

This film is dung.

Elizabeth has been reduced to some sort of Harlequin Romance Novel heroine. It's detestable. She was not a giddy starlet fawning for Raleigh. Her greatest romances were with Dudley and Essex. Raleigh was a favorite but not a love interest as was portrayed here. And what ever became of Dudley? Disappeared. He was a huge influence on her until the day he died. But there's no sign of him. Ugh!

Elizabeth has been reduced to some sort of powerless bimbo in this movie. She was not.

God's Death!* What a hideous film.

Costumes and makeup do not a movie make. It's beautiful if only the shot would stay long enough for us to enjoy them.

His editing is erratic not stylish. It flaws the entire film.

And might I add, there is an air that there's some sort of lesbian relationship between Elizabeth and Bess. Wrong!

*One of Elizabeth's favorite exclamations.
