My father loved the movie as much as my mother and I did.
shareLike it quite a bit. It's up their with THE QUEEN and ELIZABETH (1998) as two of the best recent film portraits of royalty.
shareI enjoyed the sets & costumes - - I thought the script was lacking though. I was never really bored. . . I only wish the plot would have been cinched a little tighter & I was waiting to see Conroy walk off in disgrace, but his character faded away, like so many others in the film. Nonetheless Blunt & Friend had great on-screen chemistry and Jim Broadbent had a lively cameo; I only wish Miranda was given a few more scenes. Also--they should have given a FULL VIEW of Victoria's iconic wedding gown!
Damn, this is sounding like a review...
Yes, I liked it {^_^}
I liked it alot, very good film.
I'm superstitious. Before I start a new movie, I kill a hobo with a hammer-Gwyneth Paltrow
went last night --it was "senior" discount night--to only theater in our area showing it --my husband under duress sort of, my friend, and myself--
more people than I would have thought at a Monday night movie-- probably more than 40 people there
we all enjoyed it
partly maybe because they did not know very much about that era--both kept asking me questions about her being a queen and William's dowanger queen...and how she and Albert were cousins...
I thought part of the distast for Conroy beside what he was doing with Victoria and her mother was that he was jumpstart Irish--minor title (being a SIR is minimal aristocracy after all) and Victoria knew that about him...
and the fact that her children/grandchildren married into all the royal houses is why England was involved in WWI as much as anything--the alliances that Leopold was rabid about Albert influencing happened not totally through dipolmacy but through blood--their children had to be defended.
And frankly--if you compare consorts Prince Albert is head and shoulders above Prince Phillip---
"...That's the beauty of argument, Joey. If you argue correctly, you're never wrong..."
I'm another female who forced her better half to go and he loved it!
shareThis guy loved it. Victorian England was England's equivalent to 1950's America. Dominant at every level and proud of it: Spiritually, financially, militarily, culturally. No guilt whatsoever. Some of you may hate that, but that's the way it was. This great movie showed the Ultimate Political Power Couple: At the end they were rested, tanned and ready for a glorious reign that we still honor to this day with the "Victorian" houses, clothing, etc. Interesting that England enjoyed so much prosperity at that time under one of the few arranged royal marriages where the couple really loved each other and appears under other circumstances would have gotten together anyway.
England was strong then, inside and out. This movie provided glimpses of why that was. Plus, for you Western fans, it was the beginning of the Old West here in the States. What an exciting time that must have been! Great flick.
