Title: Oh, please give your heads a shake
Review: Okay,granted, the costumes were wonderful, but please,HM Elizabeth I would spit on this film. It takes more liberties with her story than should be legally allowed. I will not go into a boring recitation of every fact this movie bastardizes, but Norththumberland was a twit, a brainless, spinless twit who couldnt make up his mind to save his life. To portray him as a 90's style skinhead was just plain wrong. And, there is no proof that Elizabeth slept with Robert Dudley. If you know anything about her psychology, you just know she wouldn't have taken the chance of getting pregnant. This was the 1500's after all. Birth control did not exist. Suffice to say, I hated this film for its inaccuracy and almost blasphemous portrayal of one of the greatest monarchs who ever ruled England. Take my advice and pick a book on the lady, you owe it to yourselves and her to read the truth.
