Elizabeth : The Golden Age

Plot (courtesy of wikipedia): The film opens in 1585; Roman Catholic Spain is the most powerful country in Europe, with King Philip II on the throne. Seeing Protestant England as a threat, and in retaliation for England's constant piracy of Spanish ships, Philip intends to make war on his long-time enemy in order to take over the land that is now England and add it to what is already Spain, making his daughter Isabella Queen of England.

Meanwhile, in England, Elizabeth (Cate Blanchett) is still being pressured to marry by her advisor, Francis Walshingham (Geoffrey Rush). She is aging in years and with no child, the throne will pass to her next of kin. The Queen is presented with many portraits of crowned heads of Europe and princes. As always, Elizabeth refuses to take someone's hand in marriage.

BOOOM! and somebody its boooooring! hahaha! x] well, it is indeed a serious story because its historical. i wouldn't be surprise if the audience goes - ZZZzzz. geeky! hahaha! i dunno, what interests me here is colorful life of elizabeth, the drama, the renaissance period, the ships and the costumes.

sometimes i do wish i can go back to the past and experience it for myself. im always fascinated with old heritage of japan (note: i also watched memoirs of a geisha and the last samurai) and england. its so vintage.
oh well, DREAM ON! hahaha! :]]
