The Queen's Dilemma: Tradition or the people

Rating: 8/10 (26 March 2016)

I really enjoyed the movie, and usually I'm not a big fan of this kind of movies, given the poor action scenes and the small unroll of the actions. Despite this fact, I believe the movie is great: it represents two very distinct parts of England (the royalty and more conservative way, and the recent and progressive way of dealing with a fainting one), it allow us to see some beautiful landscapes of England (and apparently Scotland); the pressure of the media, as being one of the most powerful tool to both influence the queen's behavior and to transmit current events; Tony Blair dealing with his commitments to the people and dealing with the royalty. That being said, some less positive things about the movie are important of referencing: After reading some comments and reflecting on the movie, I must agree with some comments regarding the fact that the movie does look like a way of justifying the queen's behavior. I don't remember the tragic event of 1997 (I was 4 years old at the time), but after watching this movie I can perfectly accept the queen's behavior. Another thing I didn't understand about the movie was the deer scene. I didn't understand what it was meant to be, and the fact she tries to protect the deer in one scene, but then she congratulated the deer's hunter, which was confusing to me. In conclusion, I think it's a movie worth of seeing.
