I hate how they made a fuss over Robert Dudley's marriage, like it was some big secret. In reality Elizabeth attended his wedding...and then his wife died under mysterious circumstances. That would have been more dramatic of a route to take and more accurate, too.
The Brotherhood of DeMaistre is watching you assorted mad dogs and jackals, the Holy Office and the Swiss Guard may not be able to touch you, but we can. We will punish the promoters of Error. Just as we nearly removed that iniquitous she-wolf from the throne that that most grotesque parody of royalty, the Abominable Monster known as Henry, disgraced with his syphilitic lusts and despotism. Through his faithlessness, he showed contempt for not only religion, but the very life of his country.
@chloebella17 well actually...henry was kind of a scumbag, and i don't really think it was love on his part, mostly lust and a desire for a male heir. as for ann, it was mostly politics and how she could bring her entire family (and herself) into money and power through the connection, she was mostly a pawn. their relationship lasted until he got tired of her and she proved unable to bear a son. reality bites
Anne Boleyn was not a whore. She and Henry VIII loved each other. Henry probably would've divorced Catherine of Aragon anyways. I think Anne always loved Henry. Henry stopped loving Anne when he met Jane Seymour. Now Jane and Henry had true love, even though it didn't last long enough. Anne Boleyn was awesome.
The guy talking with lord robert is a creepy motherfucker. Everytime I see his ugly face I just wanna slug it. God, hate at first sight! And the background music just makes my cringe and want to hurl. And hurl some more.
The film is good, but historically quite inaccurate. Not mentioning previous and future mistakes, Elizabeth knew very well that Robert was married to Amy Robsart, in fact she ws present at their wedding. And besdies, what queen would not know whether or not her favorite courtier was married?
when the guy says that Robert is already married, the ladys maids snap their heads up like "oh man, she is gonna kill him" and clear out as if their lives depended on it lol
elizabeth loved robert dearly but she saw what her mother and father went through and what pain he caused his future wives through the years so couldnt do that to her heart
@Shyneecie Well technically this movie takes a lot of liberties too. There's not really any actual proof that they were anywhere near this close, or even romantically involved.
She got robbed so what? Still to me its great how she plays Elizabeth and if she lost and oscar who cares . Oscar is just as corrupt as poitics so make your own judgment there.
@San47di1 "Perhaps he doesnt know enough English to perform the ceremony" is another sly did by her i.e. not in Latin so common people could understand it.
After Elizabeth realized her error in trusting Robert, I love her comeback in saying Enough of All the BS!! She ridicules Spain with the dance of the ships & Pirates over-taking them, exposes the prince of Anjor as a closeted fag, and finally says to hell with it all! LOL
That is messed up! To find out the man you have loved for a long time is married to another woman. All this time living a lie. And then that French embassador running his mouth about Elizabeth and Robert vs. Mary of Guise's nephew. I mean, come on the nephew doesn't really change her mind about Robert anyways. The nephew is so indescent.
I'm french so I understand the dialogue but don't really see the point. Here's the translation: "- Don't she understand that her life depends on my consent? - My Lord, you have to understand that she's a woman. She says one thing but means something else entirely. Nobody can really open their hearts (women's hearts). - Unless you have a very big key (he laughs) - A very big key! (he screams) Yes, a very big key!" A very caricatural view on french people if you ask me! ;)
A prince should never flinch from being blamed for acts of ruthlessness which are necessary for safe guarding the state and their own person. You must take these things so much to heart that you do not fear to strike. Even the very nearest that you have if they be implicated.
To be honest, with some films that are an adaptation of a real life event, you need a bit of 'Hollywood' in it. But Elizabeth's life was so dramatic, so enthralling, that I really don't see the point in 'Hollywooding-it-up', so to speak.
@ShanaeEskimoFace Here: What they say in french in part 6: ''The Queen seems rather intimate with Lord Robert. With me, she plays a shrew, with him a lover. What then?''
And here, Anjou: ''Does she not understand that her life depends on my consent?''
The ambassador: ''You must understand she's a woman. Women say one thing but sometimes mean another. No one can truly unravel their heart!''
To what Anjou replies: ''Unless of course they have a very big key!'' (meaning his manly bits of course :P
Robert Dudley was married to Amy Robsart , she fell down a flight of stairs and died, he was free to marry the Queen;Amy may have committed suicide do to the pain of breast cancer. However, the resulting scandal shattered his chances in this respect. Popular rumours that he had done away with his wife continued throughout his life, despite the coroner's jury's verdict of accident. Many years later Dudley married Lettice Knollys.
There is no record, of Dudley ever being engaged to Elizabeth.
@denelind6manu Thank you so much for the translation! I'm afraid my own grasp of the French language is not strong enough to have translated it so accurately. : ) The help is most appreciated.
I love that they just speak in French (it's so weird when people in movies of foreign countries speak English amongst themselves), but I wish they subtitled it a bit :C
In real life, Elizabeth attended his wedding, she knew he was married. Kings (and well Elizabeth because she was considered the "king" of England) cared not for Marriage. A king was able to dissolve marriages and force them to marry another. She could of just raised her hand and dissolved the marriage right there... It just wouldn't bring her any supporters (which she needed)
Dudley was indeed married but his wife fell very conveniently from the top of a staircase. After that Elizabeth saw she would never be able to marry Dudley unless she wanted to repeat Mary Stuart's mistake, who remarried shortly after her 1st husband died. Mary Stuart was then blamed for having killed her husband.
royal intermarriage meant norfolk was very high in rank to the throne, more than just his title. that's why his rank. precedence demands Norfolk show deference. What;s strange is that elizabeth never challenged Norfolk to defend England with his army in Scotland. Norfolk would have had to choose between crown rank and religion to proceed.
he say "doesn't she understand that all her life depend of me?
-My lord you must understand that she 's a woman.They say somethink but they completly want to say another think.Noone can really open their heart unless you have a very big key.
I think the problem comes in is when we use God as a reason for our own feelings and thinking. Watching Elizabeth I see that a lot. Most of the teachings in the Bible aren't implemented in favor of telling someone they're going to go to hell if they don't think they way they do. The same goes on today.
I think a lot of us have an ancient vision of god, an old man sitting in the clouds. I see god as creation, love and life. Beyond anything any of us could ever imagine. The infinite can't be described by the finite. Ever. But in the end we are all one, connected and, most of us, i think, belive in the same higher power.
He asked the Queen to marry him, but it would be better for the country if she married the Duke. He put his heart beofore the welfare of the country, more or less they thought he was selfish.
Hmmm.. although the film makes it seem as if Elizabeth was unaware of his martial status, in truth,it is said that Elizabeth was invited to Robert Dudely's wedding when she was little.
French Duke:[It seems to me like the Queen and Lord Robert are very close, no?...With me she acts like a shrew, with him...like a lover.] Doesn't she realise that her own life depends on my consent?
French Ambassador: My Lord, you must understand: she is a woman. They can say something, and mean the exact opposite! No one can really... open up their heart.
French Duke: Yes. You would need... A really big key. [Laughs]AN ENORMOUS KEY! Yes, an enormous key! [Laughs]
yes, she and robert never married which is sad, but they did remain devoted to each other until his death (which nearly destroyed her) despite his secret marriage to her cousin and her other 'favourites'.
I hate how they made a fuss over Robert Dudley's marriage, like it was some big secret. In reality Elizabeth attended his wedding...and then his wife died under mysterious circumstances. That would have been more dramatic of a route to take and more accurate, too.

Hmmm.. although the film makes it seem as if Elizabeth was unaware of his martial status, in truth,it is said that Elizabeth was invited to Robert Dudely's wedding when she was little.

Geoffrey Rush has such a thin voice compared to his looks. It would be so attractive if he has a deeper voice like Russell Crowe.

French Duke:[It seems to me like the Queen and Lord Robert are very close, no?...With me she acts like a shrew, with him...like a lover.] Doesn't she realise that her own life depends on my consent?
French Ambassador: My Lord, you must understand: she is a woman. They can say something, and mean the exact opposite! No one can really... open up their heart.
French Duke: Yes. You would need... A really big key. [Laughs]AN ENORMOUS KEY! Yes, an enormous key! [Laughs]

Anyone know what the two French nobles were talking about in the last 15 seconds of the last clip and in the first 15 seconds of this one?

yes, she and robert never married which is sad, but they did remain devoted to each other until his death (which nearly destroyed her) despite his secret marriage to her cousin and her other 'favourites'.
