Best Picture? I think not...

Rating: 4/10 (11 March 1999)

This movie is a clear example of how trailers looked much more attractive than the film itself. The trailers show us how splendid the color and cinematography is, which is not always consistent through out the movie and in many spots, seemed unrelated to the plot. The trailer show us how intriguing the story line could be, but in the movie, it drags and not very well or clearly told. Two things bother me a great deal in the movie are: 1.The opening credit goes on and on and on and well into the movie. It's so distracting. 2. The scene of Elizabath preparing the very important speech before meeting the Catholic priests was shot in a way with many re-takes. I believe the intention was to show us how serious and nervous she was. However, it reminds me of a TV commercial of opera singers started doing Rock Â‘n Roll on stage in the middle of a very classic performance. It's silly.
