Negative Positive
Title: Great Film
Review: This film is dark and mostly serious, but does that make it a lesser film? Personally, I think "Elizabeth" is a better film than "Shakespeare in Love." Cate Blanchett was wonderful as Elizabeth I. She should have gotten the Oscar, not Gwyneth Paltrow. Geoffrey Rush's character - can she trust him or not? This movie helped me to better understand why Protestants and Catholics don't care much for each other. The scene at the beginning of the movie where the Protestants are having their heads shaved, and then being burned at the stake, is very realistic. This movie made me want to read up on Henry VIII and his relationship with Elizabeth's mother, Anne Bolynn.
Is the review positive or negative?
