God Save the Queen

Rating: 9/10 (12 February 2007)

The Queen is really a portrait of the British Monarchy. I truly believe that Philip and Charles are nit-wits and that is HRH that takes total responsibility in the decision to abandon Balmoral and fly to London.
Helen Mirren is wonderful in the role of Elizabeth II, and Tony Blair diplomacy finally sets an example of diplomacy, at the same time taking correctly the public opinion pulse. She, no doubt, deserves an Oscar for this outstanding performance.
A scene deserves my comment. When the Queen is in the gate in Buckingham Palace and the child gives her the flowers. I do not know if this really happened, but shows at the end, that, if Diana is properly known as the People's Princess, Elizabeth II is the Queen of England.
