Editorial Review:
Description:
Academy Award® winners Cate Blanchett and Geoffrey Rush join Academy Award® nominee Clive Owen in a gripping historical thriller full of suspense, intrigue and adventure!
When Queen Elizabeth's reign is threatened by ruthless familial betrayal and Spain's invading army, she and her shrewd advisor must act to safeguard to the lives of her people. But when a dashing seafarer, Walter Raleigh, captures her heart, she is forced to make her most tragic sacrifice for the good of her country.
Elizabeth: The Golden Age tells the thrilling tale of one woman's crusade to control her love, destroy her enemies and secure her position as a beloved icon of the western world.
Amazon.com:
In 1998's Elizabeth, Shekhar Kapur added a layer of suds to his history lesson; the director follows the same audience-pleasing recipe in Elizabeth: The Golden Age. Since the first film, Blanchett scored an Oscar for her note-perfect rendition of Katharine Hepburn in The Aviator, and she plays the preternaturally bemused monarch in a similar fashion. By 1585, Elizabeth I is an experienced ruler about to face two of her biggest challenges: betrayal by her Catholic cousin, Mary Stuart (Control's Samantha Morton), and invasion by the Spanish Armada. It isn't so much that the Protestant Elizabeth wishes to rid England of "papists," but that she wants her country to remain free from foreign domination. Closer to her home, she enjoys a sisterly relationship with lady-in-waiting Bess (rising Aussie star Abbie Cornish). That changes when Sir Walter Raleigh (a dashing Clive Owen) hits the scene. In order to continue exploring the New World, he seeks the queen’s sponsorship. She is charmed, but Raleigh only has eyes for Bess. As in the previous picture, Elizabeth enjoys better luck at affairs of state than affairs of the heart, but the conclusion is more beatific than before (and Kapur intends a third installment if Blanchett is willing). Elizabeth: The Golden Age is a rush of royal intrigue, bloody torture, fantastic headpieces, and irresistibly ripe dialogue, like "I have a hurricane in me that will strip Spain bare if you dare to try me!" To Kapur, victory for the Virgin Queen was a viable alternative to sex. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

- Magnifficent visual feastAn immaculate and glorious visual feast, featuring Elizabeth I's inspired leadership of England, during the 1580s.
The basic threads involve her enlightened rule and refusal, of the advice, by her council to persecute her Catholic subjects, the imprisonment of Mary, Queen of Scots (Samantha Morton) and the Babbington Plot leading to Elizabeth being forced by her council especially Francis Walsingham (Geoffrey Rush), the relationship of Elizabeth (Cate Blanchett) with Sir Walter Raleigh (Clive ...

- Elizabeth: The Golden AgeThe best of the two Cate Blanchett portrails of Elizabeth I. This one had move of a decent storyline and dramtics than the other. This is pretty much what I was taught at Oxford University during a course on Tudor History.
I recommend this picture for anyone interested in Elizabeth and the Tudor era.

- Fabulous CostumesI anticipated the arrival of this DVD very much after I ordered it.
Historically correct, with a few tweaks, this film gives a very insightful view of England's "virgin Queen".
The film only captures a very short amount of the life of Elizabeth, and provides a very dry love story, but I must say that the costumes and make up in this movie are fabulous, fabulous.
All in all, it was very entertaining, I'm proud to own the DVD, but I will probably only pull it out about once a year or ... Read More

- Elizabeth...The Golden ageThis movie has become one of my favorites since I have first seen it, which was not right away after it's release. But anyone who is interested in that era, the sixteenth century will appreciate this movie, just like we appreciate the books. Of course you will not have precise accuracy chronologically as far as history goes, and it should not be expected... that is why this is a movie and not a documentary. Anyone who criticizes the accuracy should be watching/reading cold, hard data and facts for accuracy ... Read More

- Very nice pictures but historically inaccurate. Very nice pictures. This film is for those that appreciate more the stetical side of live/things than the real facts... a lot of both , Hollywood and historical inaccuracy.
