The Queen movie review
The Queen The Queen is a movie that shows a great display of the death of Princess Diana, and reveals what really happened in the house of Windsor, and how Diana’s death almost abolished the monarchy.
The movie starts with Tony Blair who is running for Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in 1997 walking up to the voting stations with his family. Tony Blair is a modernist, and many people admire him for his fresh views, people believe he is going to bring a modern change to the British Government. Shortly after the opening scene it reveals that Tony Blair has won the election by a landslide, and is now going to meet The Queen for his first day in power, but not until the queen invites him to form a government in her name. The queen reveals an important historical figure SIr Winston Churchill, as he was her first prime minister (1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955) and Tony is now going to serve as The Queens 10th prime minister.
The main characters in the movie is Queen Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor) played by Helen Mirren and Tony Blair played by Michael Sheen who represent the two main political heads. Princess Diana played a significant role as her death is what triggered all the political issues throughout the movie, her character was played by herself, they showed real videos of her when she was alive, which made it more meaningful and touching to see.
Helen Mirren who played The Queen did an amazing job of playing the role of the Queen, as the viewer I felt I wasn’t watching an actress play the role. It felt as if Helen was really The Queen especially when you see her driving in her own Range Rover through the country side of Balmoral Estate, and with her beloved dogs. You also get a feel of The Queen’s emotions at first she shows no remorse towards Diana's death, but once the public is upset with The Queen showing no public sympathy she goes into shock just like she did when her father became King as his brother
