The last movie you saw



I saw Elizabeth I two months ago because I had to see it due to a University homework, anyway I had seen it a year ago but I didn't remember so much about the story.
Elizabeth I was Queen of England around the XVI century. She was one of Henry VIII and Ana Boleyn’s daughter.
The movie tells about the struggle between the Anglicans and Catholics, and, very important, the war against Spain with their King Charles V.
In the movie all the characters had lived in the real world, as Walter Raleigh, the kings, the Queen, ministers, etc. and the story is very closed to reality.
The plot is about real historical facts and the characters all existed: the relationship between Elizabeth and her maiden, called Elizabeth too and Walter Raleigh who was a corsair serving the Queen fighting against the Spanish fleet. So the movie shows the Queen as a human being too, suggesting us she was in love with Raleigh.
Finally, the movie ends showing the decisive victory against the Great Fleet, sent by Charles V to defeat the British Empire, where Raleigh fought courageously.

  2. Hi, Ricardo.

    First of all, you came too late to the classes, which I hope that it doesn't complicate you very much. Another thing, the film poster is from the previous one, but if I wanted to correct you I would do it in the rest of your post. But that's the teacher's work, not mine.

    Well, anyway. Keep going.

  3. I agree with you. I think that “The golden age” is a great film and I know that our entire classmate enjoyed this film. It is very funny see movies in some class, because you can discuss differents points of view.
