Title: Wonderful and wrong!
Review: Yes, there is tremendous darkness and violence in this movie---I don't remember ever seeing such a vivid burning at the stake in those opening moments: Cate Blanchett is wonderful---perfect to play the young Queen!Some strange assumptions are made about the history of the period and the Queen's character: for a better picture see Elizabeth R with Glenda Jackson. Some of the conclusions are just too weird.A note about the costumes: if you're going to do a story about Elizabeth and set it in a different historical period for some effect, GREAT! but don't try to pass off early 20th century clothes as Elizabethan. Makes my teeth grate!
