Two historical films that mostly tell the story of Elizabeth the Firsts reign.
I say ‘mostly’ because some incidents and people in the two films are out of place chronologically, but although this may disturb true history gurus, it doesn’t dim the drama in either film. One thing that truly bothered me was the use of late 18th Century music of Mozart’s “Requiem” to underscore scenes which actually took place during the 16th Century. Why, when music from the 16th C could have been chosen to ‘background’ the drama just as well?

I do love a good story and these two show us a …
I’m not big on the history of England, not my major in college. However…I do love a good story and these two show us a story of a virgin queen who, against the odds, becomes a great and powerful ruler. I do not consider these movies to be action, romance, or comedy. You may find these movie characteristics from time to time, but all in all, this movie is a drama. A good drama movie that may or may not be historically correct. I am sure some elements to the story are historically correct, but I am sure not all of them are as this is a work of fiction and not a documentary.

Elizabeth / Elizabeth: The Golden Age
Great historical movies of England and European politics and machination, which truly fascinates me, not the least are the juicy tidbits of their intermarriages, collusion and espionage. Elizabeth should be seen first then Elizabeth: The Golden Year, this way the viewer will have better chronological grasp and understanding of the narrative as events are unfolded. Good acting and colorful recreation of the period, setting and wardrobe. Although the faked English accent does detract somewhat from its authenticity. I’m happy to have learned more about the details of England’s first queen Elizabeth, her wit and fortitude, aside from the expected dramatization of this obscure period in history. This is best viewed in a good surround 5.1 home theater setting to fully benefit from the Blue Ray cinematography and its great sound.

The life of Elizabeth
I adore the movie Elizabeth. I thought it was a good showing for Elizabeth’s ascent to the throne.
I ended up buying this blu-ray double movie pack because my DVD of Elizabeth was dying. Since the double feature wasn’t that expensive, I decided to get that.
Elizabeth was great to watch on blu-ray.
Elizabeth: the Golden Age. Visually, I loved it. The movie itself? It didn’t gel as a movie.
It didn’t have the tension needed for the defeat of the Spanish Armada.
So, Elizabeth, I give 5 stars, and Elizabeth: the Golden Age I give 3 stars.
Which is why the double feature has 4 stars.

Elizabeth & Elizabeth:The Golden Age (My 14th GGAunt)
Thoroughly enjoyed both! Brought the opulence …. and the incredible intrigue and dangers rulers faced daily, into clear focus. The historical accuracy was moderately "fudged" (according to Luminarium & Britannia) but generally faithful to actual events. Very pleased with the presentation of the life of Elizabeth and now have a far better understanding of the transitional times she navigated so successfully. Bravo to the actors and their portrayals of the principle charectors.

Cate Blanchet’s “Elizabeth” Absolutely Great
These two movies go in tandem with each other. Besides being a great story, I believe she captures the Elizabeth of History. The movies shortcut some of the history and does some blending of characters as all historical fiction does. This does not diminish or take away from the main line of the story. Also it is more about capturing Elizabeth’s character and soul, and thus the soul of the nation in these times. I think it shows that she represented and embodied the nation in her time in history. Great movies. Great Acting. Great Everything.
