Classy and Lavish historical film noir.

Rating: 7/10 (25 February 2008)

As is so common in Hollywood they love to make films about kings and queens and England and it's golden age of rule and power. Well this picture "Elizabeth the Golden Age" is no different as it's classy and well done the acting is true to art form with Cate Blanchett giving a true to art performance. The movie is of historical significance telling the tale of when Queen Elizabeth's reign is challenged by the ruthless Spain army she then must act to safeguard her people. So just like all old classic literature tales the key elements of civil war and sacrifice dominates. The costumes, sets, and again the acting is super in this film a big thumbs up again for Cate she's tremendous in this fine tale of a crusade for love and control it's proves that Elizabeth is one of the world's most powerful icons.
