	Amazon.com: Elizabeth (1998): Video: Fanny Ardant,Richard Attenborough,Cate Blanchett,Kathy Burke,Eric Cantona,Vincent ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Elizabeth's climb to power, however, is a personal disaster: the supple-waisted maiden with long red hair becomes stiff and harsh, emerging from her youth white-faced and trapped in the armor of a thick brocade dress.
		The princess, as this movie sees her, certainly knew her insecurities about her role in life and in English politics, her people's expectations, and the intrigues of her own court.
		The movie begins in 1554, in an England that is bitterly divided on the issue of religion.

	Elizabeth (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Elizabeth is a 1998 movie about the early reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England, written by Michael Hirst and directed by Shekhar Kapur.
		After her accession, the story mainly concerns the subversive activities of some of Elizabeth's Roman Catholic opponents, notably Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk (played by Christopher Eccleston) and the ongoing conflict with Scotland.
		The climax is the discovery by Sir Francis Walsingham (played by Geoffrey Rush) of the dramatized version of the Ridolfi plot (with elements of the Babington plot thrown in) and the mass executions of most of those involved in the plot.

	Steve's 1998 Movie Reviews
		Grease has always been a fun movie, but this "remastered" release was a technical let-down, with muddy spoken dialog and a soundtrack too easily overwhelmed by the crooners in the audience.
		Many movies rely on special effects (Godzilla, Waterworld) but this is one of that rare breed where the technical wizards are quietly supporting a strong story and interesting characters (Babe, Star Wars).
		But the movie mistakenly spends more time with the often-filmed "catch the bad guy" story, and practically ignores the stress and distrust between the public and the occupying army.

	Elizabeth
		Elizabeth, portrayed as a vulnerable young lady in the movie, seemed to follow methodically the wisdom and advice of her advisors, and it often seemed that at times they were the ruling leaders of England, taking over all of the duties of the royal ruler.
		Elizabeth seemed to be very in love with Dudley, as he with her, and often struggled with her feelings of love for him and the expectations put upon her to marry others for political reasons.
		As in the movie, “Elizabeth was deeply hurt and outraged… and only arguments that one could not imprison someone for entering into the state of holy matrimony kept her from sending him to the tower” (Levin 61).

	Royalty.nu - Tudor Royal History - Queen Elizabeth I
		Elizabeth knew that she could not legally marry without the permission of the king's council, and she refused to be drawn into the Lord Admiral's schemes.
		Elizabeth once told Parliament, "Though God has raised me high, yet this I account the glory of my crown, that I have reigned with your loves." She is regarded by many as the greatest monarch in English history.
		Evaluates Elizabeth and the significance of her reign, and examines the impact of an unmarried queen on gender expectations.

	Kinnopio's Movie Reviews - Elizabeth
		Frequently these movies tank at the box office, because being historically based is a qualifier which turns audiences off, as though they're afraid they might learn something they failed to grasp in high school during their sortie to the local cinema.
		It is not a biopic per se, for it does not chronicle the life of Elizabeth I (Cate Blanchett) from start to finish, but it does highlight the most important part of the monarch's life: her rise to power.
		Elizabeth dodges assassination attempts and even casts out her lover, Robert Dudley (Joseph Fiennes), in order to maintain stability in England; but when the Vatican caves to Norfolk's requests and sends a priest to assassinate the virgin queen, Elizabeth orders Walsingham to seek out the treachery and do away with it.

	Amazon.co.uk: Elizabeth [1998]: Video (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Loosely based on the so-called Ridolfi Plot which was an attempt to replace the protestant Elizabeth 1 with the Catholic Mary Queen of Scots, the story evolves around the faithful courtiers of Elizabeth trying desperatly and finally succeeding in keeping her on the throne.
		Elizabeth is accused of treason, and sent to the Tower, in order to wait for her fate to be decided...
		Elizabeth will have to deal with the pressure of most of her advisors to choose soon among the candidates that have asked for her hand in marriage, but she is unable to marry the one she loves, Lord Robert Dudley (Joseph Fiennes).

	Elizabeth (1998): Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		This Elizabeth is presented as a glamorously stressed-out modern woman who must cope with a super-intense case of having it all.
		Period movies inevitably reflect more about the period in which they're made than the period of their subject, and rarely has that been more evident -- or more distracting -- than it is with Elizabeth.
		Bad history it may be, but Elizabeth is a movie that makes you want more, as it plays to the myth of history's great actress-monarch, a character who puts today's tinselly political heros and heroines (royal and not), to shame.

	Elizabeth mistakes, goofs and bloopers
		Revealing: At the very end of the movie, when Elizabeth is walking to her throne as the Virgin Queen, the music being played is a Requiem written by Mozart.
		Factual error: Elizabeth did not start wearing wigs and heavy makeup until later in her reign, and although it was a combination of vanity and political shrewdness, it had nothing to do with the Virgin Mary.
		Elizabeth very much wanted to keep the image of an eternally youthful Queen, both for her own vanity, and to belie the fact that she was aging, and possibly weak or ill. Also, all this is intended to covere up the elderly monarch's smallpox scars.

	Britmovie - Elizabeth 1998
		Set in England, 1554, the film begins with Elizabeth's half-sister Mary (Kathy Burke), a fanatical Catholic, on the throne and Elizabeth (Cate Blancett) threatened with execution because she is a Protestant.
		Elizabeth toys with politically motivated offers of marriage upon the advice of Sir William Cecil (Richard Attenborough), he urges Elizabeth to marry - either the French Duc d'Anjou (Vincent Cassel) or her dead sister's husband, King Philip of Spain - to secure the future of England.
		The film ends with a series of assassinations wiping out all opposition to her leadership, with her position on the throne secure Elizabeth's self-reinvention as the Virgin Queen is complete, a figure of near-worship to reign for 40 years.

		But her Elizabeth lacks the charisma to carry this lengthy chronicle, which is weakened by the device of having the queen, in italicized passages, comment from a pallid, distant hindsight on her past actions.
		For example, Elizabeth's younger brother Edward (the only son of King Henry VIII to live to rule) is briefly described as a weak, brainwashed boy whose only trust is in his father and Privy Counselors.
		Mary, Elizabeth's sister as well as her rival, is described as an insane, short, ugly woman whose forty years husbandless has finally driven her over the edge of sanity.

		Elizabeth (1998) is a sweeping tale about how Queen Elizabeth I came to power during the 16th century.
		Elizabeth is already in love with Robert Dudley before she ever becomes Queen, and afterwards shows that a Queens love can be a poisonous thing wrought with its own danger.
		Elizabeth is a powerful story full of powerful performances, and is close to being my favorite Rush performance ever, though that is so hard to define, because even when he’s in a movie that isn’t that great, he still is. Four Stars.

		In spite of Elizabeth's tolerance toward the Protestants, Mary, near death, begrudgingly appoints her younger sister as heir to the throne.
		In the role of Elizabeth, Blanchet is introspective and utterly captivating, convincingly taking her from the naive girl depicted at the outset to the stern and resolved monarch of the finale, solemnly but necessarilyjaded at too young an age.
		Kapur films virtually all of the interiors in medieval cathedrals, redressed with curtains and tapestries to create Elizabeth's court, her chambers, etc. While interesting visuallyand in keeping with the grim tone of the storyone does crave the sight of actual Tudor interiors after a while.

	MMI Movie Review: Elizabeth (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Again not entirely subtle yet triumphantly screaming with rebellion and sumptuous splendor is his latest film, "Elizabeth." Teamed up with writer Eric Hirst, Director Kapur follows Elizabeth Tudor's early death-defying years as a princess to her ascension as the Queen of England.
		With a remarkably talented cast, "Elizabeth" stands out as a hugely entertaining costume drama thick with political maneuvering within the familial framework of the British Monarchy.
		The film takes the young breezy Princess Elizabeth played Cate Blanchett and thrusts her into the twisted quest for the throne of 16th century England.

	1998 Movie Reviews
		Despite the stupid premise, and the stupid characters, and the general all-round stupidity of the movie, it would be totally unethical of me to say nothing good about it, since I did chuckle a few times, though not very often, and wondered the whole time who this movie was aimed at...
		The movie is almost a documentary, cruising along at a leisurely pace (what you'd expect from Linklater, director of Slacker and Dazed and Confused) which really does get the mood right.
		Several times in the movie I was trying to think why the scene in question was included, and every time it boiled down to Matt & Trey having fun making a movie (stressing several times that one of them is in a hot tub with a playmate of the month, for example).
