The Queen (2006, Dir. Stephen Frears)
Diana the 'People's Princess' has died in a car accident in Paris. The Queen and her family decide that for the best, they should remain hidden behind the closed doors of Balmoral Castle. The heartbroken public do not understand and request that the Queen confronts her people. This also puts pressure on newly elected Tony Blair , who constantly tries to convince the monarchy to address the public.
I've never really been a big fan of dramas and decided to give this a go. I heard great things about this film, and decided that it was time for me to find out what is so great about it. Now i can see why. As this movie is simply a masterpiece. Such a wonderful realistic story is brought to life with some remarkable performances by Helen Mirren and Michael Sheen. If you've never been a fan of dramas, then you should still give this at least one watch through, especially if u enjoy the English culture.
