The Queen (2006) - Long Live Diana! Long Live Mirren! Long Live the Queen!

Rating: 8/10 (16 August 2011)

"The Queen" tells the story of the aftermath of the Princess Diana murder, and explains how Queen Elizabeth II can handle all these situations, and how the murder affects the Royal Family and the whole world. Well, to start the review, Helen Mirren brings the performance of a lifetime as Queen Elizabeth II, and she brings a lot of charm and a lot of uniqueness to her character as this huge idol. But not just Mirren, but a whole other members of the cast were something to die for, with characters portrayed by glorious actors including Michael Sheen and James Cromwell. Stephen Frears' direction helped bring a unique spark by comparing a look at Princess Diana' flashbacks and how it has affected the Royal Family today. Peter Morgan's script was a special piece of writing that brought a lot of drama and magic. But at some times, the movie just felt hard to concentrate to, while forgetting a few major time-plots. But I still enjoyed the movie for its fine writing, special directing, and unique acting. "The Queen" is like a hand-written diary filled with memorabilia, and this felt like a movie that can compare royal life, and our daily life. "The Queen", in my review, "a special feature, with a unique royal charm".
