Are you born to be a queen?
Elizabeth I is one of these people who had in their family blood the royal power to be a queen herself. She was the daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn; she was born with the personality to be the queen of England. After her half-sister Mary died, she took the power of the country and initiated one of the most important periods in history, an era called Golden Age.
The movie showed the ideal picture of Elizabeth. You could see her strong personality and dictatorial manner of treating people, the same that made her accused her cousin Mary Queen of Scots of conspiracy; joined the war against the Spanish Armada and took England through an era that every book of English history highlights.
Elizabeth was cleaver enough to take the right decisions about religion. She established a strong opposition to the Catholic religion which by that time was represented by the Pope and her cousin Mary, queen of Scots. You could see this part though the whole movie, being represented by all the people who were in favor or against the queen.
Also, she fought against the Spanish Armada convinced that she was going to save England; she took this responsibility as if she were the mother of the country. England was the heir she never gave birth, but she raised it.
The movie showed Elizabeth in all her glory as the queen she was that many stories talk about. In front of people she had the image of a gifted person blessed by God; however, she was like any human being, who felt love and hate each time she met new views of the world or was betrayed. This is Elizabeth I, Queen of England in the movie “The Golden Age”.
