What would you give up?

Rating: 10/10 (5 February 2005)

I tend to like "period" movies and I think this one captured, "Elizabeth" quite well. Being queen was not always living the life of the rich and famous. Like any leader there are things you would have to give up, choosing to remain unwed, was her's. Many might give up a job,house, car for the person you love, but, for the well being of her country she gave up her love, how many of us could do that today? Not only give up her love, she never really knew who she could trust and turn to for support. Living a carefree life as a child/teen and then thrust into the front as she was, she not only prevail, but also managed to make her mark in history like no-one else. England should be proud of her, and how this movie portrayed her. I think the actors did a very good job.
