she done what any queen would have done all she had was her half sister to protect her to rule england for she was decieved from such lies a up evil land and it was destin to her sister elizabeth and her only to rule the land so dont judge... dont judge what she had to do protestant or catholic let it be to her own judgement when she was queen to rule england....god be..
While the Protestants were dancing in the fields, the Catholics and the Eastern Orthodox were spilling their blood against the Muslims who even then were trying to topple Western civilization. It was easy to be liberal and tolerant in the sixteenth century when one was so far removed from the most dangerous menaces in the world.
@telamon2011 Well England didn't have that problem. The problem was religious intolerence by the Catholic monarch over her own people who had mostly been protestant. She should have been carig about the peoples wellfare, not about what God they served. If she would have done that and actually had a mind of her own instead of taking direction from Philip, she may would have achieved something worth-while. And not be remembered as "Bloody Mary?"
Please, Elizabeth was responsible for the deaths of over 4,000 Catholics (3,000 in Ireland, 1,000 in England, nearly half of the Irish victims being women and children, and in the case of the English Catholic monks who largely took care of the peasants after Liz initiated the Anti-Poor Laws of the 1570s, death by slow disembowelment, far more painful than burning at the stake in which most died quickly of asphyxiation). Laws against Jewish shopowners were also passed under Liz.
As regarding history, well, the winners tend to write it. Elizabeth was smart enough to have scribblers living off the state such as Shakespeare, Marlowe and Spencer to write various plays and poems to her glorification. She was one of the earliest practitioners of political spin control. As for the "Bloody Mary" label, well, Peter the GREAT and Catherine the GREAT killed far more Russians than Ivan the TERRIBLE, but just like Liz, they patronized the right artists and writers.
the version i remember watching had background information going such as "henry viii is dead" "mary is on the throne" "catholics fear is the rising of...." then it showed the title, Elizabeth.
The violence is necessary to set the scene as a perilous time of horror and uncertainty ruled over by a paranoid, murderess Queen Mary. We are supposed to feel the fear that Elizabeth feels at this time in her life, knowing she could be executed just as thousands of Protestants were everyday. We would not sense this fear if things were hunky-dory with flowers and rose petals. The violence is also meant to be a contrast to the "Golden Age" that would be brought about through Elizabeth's reign.
No, this scene is, but most of the film is about doubts about love and betrayal in dangerous times, and very little blood is spilled (exept a few 'clean' murders). My stomach had more problems with the portrayal of a bishop Gardiner in Elizabeth's rule while the man was dead for some years :-)-)
I liked this film for the good directing, acting, the music and the clothing. Not for historical accuracy.
I made the mistake of watching BBC's "The Virgin Queen" before seeing this film. Not only are there many historical inaccuracies here but Cate Blanchett was NO comparison to Anne-Marie Duff's Elizabeth .I absolutely detested this film. In time Ill watch this film again but not in the same time frame as "The Virgin Queen" so it can stand a fighting chance of receiving a fair review. If you want to see a GREAT portrayal on Elizabeth, watch "The Virgin Queen". Thanks for the upload nonetheless...
Great movie. Please visit my channel where you can view the first part of my amateur documentary on the life of one of Elizabeth's courtier's, the Earl of Oxford, who appears in Roland Emmerich's movie, Anonymous.
"The King of England is the King of Devils, but the King of Spain is A King of Free Men." Beheading Charles Ist and enthroning the warted hog of massacres Cromwell, lifting your hand against the gallant Adolf Hitler and boasting of your forfieted and spurious sanctimony, crushing the Hindu and Muslim nations of the earth with careless impunity, dividing and destroying the great and long-fevered body of Europe with your noxious intrigues, ruling by flattery and sodomy, THIS is England. Sinners!
These snivelling liberals and grossly corrupted modernists, who defy the universal and natural order, who divorce monarchy from any and all spiritual authority, have plunged the world into the feculating cloaca of the infernal parody of all that is sound and right. These Whigs, Protestants and Heretics, their Jewish and Masonic co-conspirators, have made England a paved sewer where once it was "greene and pleasant". Fire and combs of iron for this race of rebels was and is far too merciful.
i like how she's very strong and powerful. At the end of the film, she was able to dominate the men around her, and that were one of the things i liked about her. In the beginning she was very warm hearted and gentle, but now she has became a virgin. She is now tough about making her own decisions, and needs no advisor every step of the way. Love you, Cate, for being such a good actress!!!!
@velvetQueen699999 The only reason why Cate didnt win that year is because Gwenyth Paltrow was already an established actress. I totally agree with you velvetQueen Cate should have won, and on top of that Gwenyth gave one of the worst acceptance speeches in the history of the Academy Awards.
This movie is an eye candy for sure. Great customs, beautiful sets, beautiful actors and a treat for the eye but I hope no one relies on this for their historical information lol it's highly inaccurate.
@annemolly57 Hair would speed up the burning. And besides, Mary didn't want them to die the most painful death posible. The way she saw it, they were gonig to suffer for eternity anyway. Burning was the only way to kill heretics, as any other way would apparentley have them rising from the dead to haunt them.
@dreamingofastranger The idea behind burning heretics is that fire is a purifying element, and therefore in burning them, you're saving their souls by burning away the sin and evil.
@ChocoLeibniz94 haha I was talking about the Roman Catholics of that century who killed and tortured Protestants. I have a couple Catholic friends who aren't quite that nasty ;)
well, just because they saw gore and horrible violence doesn't mean it was a great thing... and it doesn't mean we should continue to show them violence. now is a long way from the middle ages. should we have slaves just because we did in the past?
@TheBeezusjones Why censor television, games, etc. when you can walk out your front door or pick up any newspaper in the world and see just as much violence or more? I think the kids that are sheltered from everything bad that happens and could happen are the ones that it happens TO. We might not live in the middle ages but man is still an animal and in many cases, behaves like one. You can wish it was different but it ISNT - it's REALITY. You can either hide from it or face it head on.
@KDVx3 Denying our potential for goodness and acting like we are no different than any other animal is just as foolhardy as denying the "bad"; it's just an excuse to do reprehensible, cruel things. Not by denying the bad, but by embodying the good, do we fulfill our human potential. Furthermore, they have their whole adult lives to be disenchanted ; Let them fucking have their childhoods. U don't have to change this perfect film, just wait til the kids are 13, when they can understand it.
The actor who plays Elizabeth is very beautiful though historians are not sure if it was so. They say she was attractive though her mother Ann Boleyn was supposedly rather ugly though incredibly smart as demonstrated in elizabeths personality as well. Though in The Tudors Ann Boleyn is simply gorgeous. Mary on the other hand I'm not sure what to believe.
Why does Mary live in a dark, stony room? You'd think as queen, she'd afford a brighter, cheerier-looking suite.
Yeah I know, the film gives Mary's surroundings a dark, oppressive pall to symbolize both her disturbed emotional state and the terrors and oppressions she was putting England through. And contrasting w/ Elizabeth in the sunny field right afterwards, it adds to the Liz good/ Mary bad msg of the film. Still, it's a little anvilicious
Even tho I greatly disapprove of Mary's actions, I feel sorry for her. She was so ugly and unloved. She was made a bastard when Elizabeth was born. She was never able to be a mother and her husband left her. She was so crazy! PS- Robert Dudley is so hot!
@chloebella17 Mary was never known for being ugly, in fact the other way round, elizabeth was supposed to be rather ugly, however in this film they just decided to depict mary as bad looking lol.
Mary and Elizabeth, and Henry killed many innocent people. I think it's just the perception of what you believed in, to be who was a bad or good person. I don't think Mary was bad or Elizabeth was good. Why there were divisions I still don't get (in the church). Catholics read the bible. Theres no nead to create a new religion over that. Corruption happened in the protestant church and every religion has a case of it. Henry just made stuff up as he went along to his own advantage.
@Supernaturalxxxxxx She just supported protestants and was very unsupportive to the catholics. A lot of people especially catholics were not comfortable with her when she was queen.
Actually, even Martin Luther and the other Protestants did not recognize Elizabeth as a rightful heir because she was conceived out of wedlock (the Catholics, of course, did not recognize the marriage of Henry and Anne at all). Since life was seen as beginning at conception, even the hard core Protestants (including Lady Jane Grey and her family) saw Elizabeth as illegitimate. Edward VI disinherited Mary only due to her Catholicism, but disinherited Elizabeth over her illegitimacy.
@emerald7273 Yes, clearly by that statement I meant to convey that I am pro-burning people alive. Obviously.
This is a ridiculous conversation, and clearly you're either a troll or just have the reading comprehension of a 5 year old. So, on that note, toodles!
@emerald7273 well, burning at the stake is really more of a 'human being thing', sadly. Humans are inordinately fond of stakes. And aren't we agreeing on the rest? "many 'Protestants', refused to be dictated to by a foreign country and rebelled against this" - I'm pretty sure that's what I was saying when I wrote my last sentence. And I don't recall saying that Catholics were actually super nice fuzzy bunnies, but... agree to disagree, I guess?
It's weird that children watched public executions of all types in Europe and in colonial America (and the rest of the Americas I'm sure) back in the day and also came across cut up and dead bodies of soldiers in fields sometimes very easily, and yet people complain about the explicitly violent content in movies, TV, and video games today.
@jrmetmoi Morals change. In those days they thought that wachting excecutions served as a warning, so that their children knew what would happen if they commited a crime. And of cource they did not care about the criminals because they diserved it.
@jrmetmoi I agree. I've often thought that the problem isn't that children are becoming desensitized to violence, it is that WE have become sensitized. It's not exactly a popular view!!
@jrmetmoi It's not "weird" at all. You make the common mistake of trying to view historical events strictly through modern puritanism and hypocrisy when the two periods of time, what passed for conventional behavior, have nothing to do with each other. It's like saying why do those people walk everywhere when we now have cars
@jrmetmoi CLEARLY WE'RE TRYING TO change our violently history, but the violence still remains soemwhat. either way, all that old stuff is incredibly creepy. I dont get how the "ladies" would faint at stupid stuff and could deal with that crap so easily.
@jrmetmoi because times have changed. We are (supposedly) more civilized now. we do not live in the middle ages anymore. watching violence and gore is a choice, not an everyday occurrence. It still happens but you cannot compare the scenarios and the context.
I love how people get so het up over the treatment of Protestants in this movie, like A) this movie is so accurate is the first place (... no.) and B) like the Protestants weren't just as power-mad. Both sides were awful, and waaay too fond of burning people alive. And all these conflicts were really more political than anything - being Protestant vs Catholic was as much a statement about the right of a country to rule itself without outside interference, as it was about spiritual belief.
Oh, and what they did to those non-christians was excactly what they did to people who where witches(whithout cutting their hair(and scalp) of). Horrible!!!(*reference to my last comment)
The world is fascinated with the English Monarchy regardless of the ruler, age or House who ruled England......I count myself as one who is enthralled by their rich history!
@SurlyCalifornia thats more than slightly blasphemeous lol...good christians dont, modern society does tend to also make conformity of some things more than difficult
No all religions are basically the same thing. Which is. Grown men arguing, often quite violently. Over who has the "best" imaginary friend.
It just that Islam is roughly 600 years younger then Christianity. So we (The West). Where having our. "Death to the non-believers" period back in the 16th & 17th centuaries
Kathy Burke's Mary is a caricature. For a more nuanced, gritty performance, see 1971's Elizabeth R with Daphne Slater as Mary and Glenda Jackson as Elizabeth.
@adri1234100 Anne Boleyn had dark hair, but Henry had red hair and so did members of his family (sister, mother, brother, grandmother and a few ancestors). Anne Boleyn may have carried the gene recessively. If so, when she and Henry got together, the gene was allowed to express itself through Elizabeth. Plus her sister, Mary Boleyn, was a blonde. Whether or not that matters, idk, but it just goes to show that she may have carried genes for a variety of hair colors.
@vampgirl092 Yes, just got done reading more on Henry the VIII....Elizabeth has Henry's hair...that is why he could not deny her really as his daughter...He called her Lady Elizabeth, yet the madman knew she was his daughter...he just wanted to marry Jane Seymore....
@ligreekguy The first inaccuracy that I spotted was that Bishop Stephen Gardiner was alive at the time of the Ridolfi plot, everyone knows he died well before Elizabeth even ascended to the throne. #fail
@ligreekguy Indeed. Joss Stone is far too good looking to portray the dowdy Anne of Cleeves. Can't believe The Tudors has ended, I'm already getting withdrawal sypmtoms, I'm sure they could continue the series right up until the dynasty ended in 1603. Although my heritage is West Indian I just looove English history. Respect to the Lady Elizabeth (even though she eventually commissioned the first African slaves to be transported on a ship ironically named Jesus).
@whim00 Although she's better known as a comediene, I thought Kathy Burke was brilliantly cast as Queen Mary and her portrayal credible enough. Also, just because we're conditioned to perceive royalty as the ultimate in social status, in reality Kings and Queens are only humans like you and I, indeed there's documentation to substantiate that both Mary and Elizabeth were given to fits of vulgarity - a trait derived from their father no doubt. Love this movie but it's too fictious...
Well, one of the biggest inaccuracies is that Mary and Philip were not yet married when Thomas Wyatt led his rebellion. In fact, the proposed marriage is what he was rebelling against! Moreover, Wyatt did NOT want Mary ousted from the throne, as he steadfastly believed in the proper order of succession. He merely wanted the Spanish marriage to be called off. Thus, Mary could not have been married and pregnant at the time of this rebellion.
This queen Mary is too dramatic, she may be aggressive and cruel but not this. Plus, I don't think the real queen Mary is this fat and talks naively like this. If Mary thinks that Anne Boleyn is a whore, she wouldn't say it directly. She would use the most elegant words to express her contempt towards Elizabeth. This is yet another example of director or writer or whoever demeaning a character to praise the star of the movie. Putting this aside, I do like Cate Blanchett's Elizabeth.
True, if anything, Mary was quite thin to the point of looking sickly. She was also not a naturally cruel person (as her kindness toward Elizabeth as a child, as well as her initial pardoning of Lady Jane Grey and her father, proved), but was more misguided and religiously zealous. While she had no fondness for Anne Boleyn (obviously), yes, she did refrain from using such bombastic words as "whore", but did use "courtesan", and implied that other men were Elizabeth's father.
Tough times eh?...Yeah...I love Cate Blanchett though, and I love learning about these times as well. Like King Henry the 8th, and how everything was blamed demon possessions and witches, the sneaking affairs of royality. Great movie thanks for the upload =)
@djernide well here is how they could first they take the people and tie them up calling them heretics. Once tied on a pile of logs sometimes with liquid that can ignite splaterred all over them they are set a blaze and will burn to death so that is how they could burn them.
@TheLancesb Thank you!!! Your comment is just TOO perfect. (However, Shakespeare comes in much later in the reign of Elizabeth I, but, still, LOVE YOUR COMMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
I like this movie and the other one golden age! Going to website trendyglitz tonight and order both movies to own and a Harry Potter too. I can never find the golden age on here.
I lived in England when I was six, and on the way back to the US I tried watching this on the plane. I didn't know what it was, and the first ten minutes scared me.
she done what any queen would have done all she had was her half sister to protect her to rule england for she was decieved from such lies a up evil land and it was destin to her sister elizabeth and her only to rule the land so dont judge... dont judge what she had to do protestant or catholic let it be to her own judgement when she was queen to rule england....god be..

I'm left wondering if the people who were passing along more wood were in favor or against the burning.
They could have been providing more wood to make the fire hotter and larger, hoping to end their suffering sooner.
Or they could be trying to make the fire hotter and larger to increase the drama and torment, even if it would shorten the duration.
It's pretty creepy anyway - I wouldn't want to see anyone go that way or suffer that fate myself.

Corruption happened in the protestant church and every religion has a case of it. Henry just made stuff up as he went along to his own advantage.

What Mary Tudor did to those people was awful. Just awful. It makes me wonder, how did these monarchs sleep at night after a beheading or a staking?

Actually, even Martin Luther and the other Protestants did not recognize Elizabeth as a rightful heir because she was conceived out of wedlock (the Catholics, of course, did not recognize the marriage of Henry and Anne at all). Since life was seen as beginning at conception, even the hard core Protestants (including Lady Jane Grey and her family) saw Elizabeth as illegitimate. Edward VI disinherited Mary only due to her Catholicism, but disinherited Elizabeth over her illegitimacy.

@emerald7273 well, burning at the stake is really more of a 'human being thing', sadly. Humans are inordinately fond of stakes. And aren't we agreeing on the rest? "many 'Protestants', refused to be dictated to by a foreign country and rebelled against this" - I'm pretty sure that's what I was saying when I wrote my last sentence. And I don't recall saying that Catholics were actually super nice fuzzy bunnies, but... agree to disagree, I guess?

It's weird that children watched public executions of all types in Europe and in colonial America (and the rest of the Americas I'm sure) back in the day and also came across cut up and dead bodies of soldiers in fields sometimes very easily, and yet people complain about the explicitly violent content in movies, TV, and video games today.

I love how people get so het up over the treatment of Protestants in this movie, like A) this movie is so accurate is the first place (... no.) and B) like the Protestants weren't just as power-mad. Both sides were awful, and waaay too fond of burning people alive. And all these conflicts were really more political than anything - being Protestant vs Catholic was as much a statement about the right of a country to rule itself without outside interference, as it was about spiritual belief.

adri1234100 9 months ago
@adri1234100 Anne Boleyn had dark hair, but Henry had red hair and so did members of his family (sister, mother, brother, grandmother and a few ancestors). Anne Boleyn may have carried the gene recessively. If so, when she and Henry got together, the gene was allowed to express itself through Elizabeth. Plus her sister, Mary Boleyn, was a blonde. Whether or not that matters, idk, but it just goes to show that she may have carried genes for a variety of hair colors.

@ligreekguy Indeed. Joss Stone is far too good looking to portray the dowdy Anne of Cleeves. Can't believe The Tudors has ended, I'm already getting withdrawal sypmtoms, I'm sure they could continue the series right up until the dynasty ended in 1603. Although my heritage is West Indian I just looove English history. Respect to the Lady Elizabeth (even though she eventually commissioned the first African slaves to be transported on a ship ironically named Jesus).

@whim00 Although she's better known as a comediene, I thought Kathy Burke was brilliantly cast as Queen Mary and her portrayal credible enough. Also, just because we're conditioned to perceive royalty as the ultimate in social status, in reality Kings and Queens are only humans like you and I, indeed there's documentation to substantiate that both Mary and Elizabeth were given to fits of vulgarity - a trait derived from their father no doubt. Love this movie but it's too fictious...
MCForty 10 months ago
@MCForty
Well, one of the biggest inaccuracies is that Mary and Philip were not yet married when Thomas Wyatt led his rebellion. In fact, the proposed marriage is what he was rebelling against! Moreover, Wyatt did NOT want Mary ousted from the throne, as he steadfastly believed in the proper order of succession. He merely wanted the Spanish marriage to be called off. Thus, Mary could not have been married and pregnant at the time of this rebellion.

This queen Mary is too dramatic, she may be aggressive and cruel but not this. Plus, I don't think the real queen Mary is this fat and talks naively like this. If Mary thinks that Anne Boleyn is a whore, she wouldn't say it directly. She would use the most elegant words to express her contempt towards Elizabeth. This is yet another example of director or writer or whoever demeaning a character to praise the star of the movie. Putting this aside, I do like Cate Blanchett's Elizabeth.
whim00 10 months ago
@whim00
True, if anything, Mary was quite thin to the point of looking sickly. She was also not a naturally cruel person (as her kindness toward Elizabeth as a child, as well as her initial pardoning of Lady Jane Grey and her father, proved), but was more misguided and religiously zealous. While she had no fondness for Anne Boleyn (obviously), yes, she did refrain from using such bombastic words as "whore", but did use "courtesan", and implied that other men were Elizabeth's father.
