Title: An embarrassing misrepresentation of Elizabeth's life.
Review: As someone who has studied English history for years, and especially Elizabeth I, I was literally embarrassed by this awful version of the life of this brilliant woman. Everyone who was important to her was misrepresented, and there was certainly no reason to change history. Robert Dudley was her childhood (and best)friend and was by her side practically til the day he died, --she called him "her eyes". She did put him in the Tower, but only when he did not tell her about his second marriage (she was present at his first). Sir William Cecil presented Elizabeth with Queen Mary's ring( after Mary died) and was her most trusted advisor until he died. His son replaced him. Walsingham, although loyal and important to her, was never as close as Cecil. The list of discrepancies is endless. The writers and producers of this film, that should and could have been wonderful, should hang their heads in shame.
