A daily comment from Midget Emma: The Queen (2006)

Rating: 7/10 (14 March 2008)

Much better then i thought it would be. I thought it would be boring and dry. But it was able to keep my attention and i even giggled a few times at its British humor that is spread throughout. I also know a little bit more about the royal family and princess Diana.
Of course this is about the death of Princess Diana and what the royal family thought of her. It all starts off with Diana's death and Tony Blair has just been elected prime minister. The news shocks the whole world and the palace gates are covers in flowers and cards. The public are wanting the Queen to talk but she won't. We see her side of the story and the public's side we see Tony Blair try to reconnect the Queen with her people.
You might be wondering why is a movie that we know half the story from the news getting 7/10. Well Helen Mirren's performance pushes it up a few points. She was excellent and so believable as the Queen. She comes up a few spaces behind Chalize Theron in Monster.
Here is my comment for Monster: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0340855/usercomments-514
I recommend this if you are interested and even if your not just see it for Helen Mirren's performance.
7/10
