Ian Mckellen In 'Richard III'--"Now Is The Winter Of Our.."

Lawrence Olivier was a better Richard 3rd. Noone can speak or act shakespere better then Olivier.

It is unfair to compare them, considering how little time Richard actually reigned for and thus how little concrete evidence there is for Richard's abilities as a monarch, but at the same time Henry's political moves and changes in governance were done quickly after his ascension to the throne and were extremely important in ending the Wars of the Roses for good and establishing the Tudor Monarchy (a system of governance arguably more effective than our own).

Ooh, unsubstantiated claim there... You will have to show me considerable evidence that Richard was a 'better' king than Henry (and being popular in the north does not make you better).

Compared to peruvian president ALAN GARCIA, Richard III is just an amateur.

Your Isle has bigger problems with Nanny government than Mother Queen.

im sorry but you're completely wrong. i must admit im baffled by your ignorance. Our queen is an idle figure head and you are completely aware of it. Just because you dont like americans dont try to pass imperialism as a good thing. and although i tolerate the queen, she stands for everything that is contrary to democrasy. She was not elected or chosen by the people and she will continue to rake our money without care. The queen brings a little through tourism. But thats it.

Its strange how Gloucester was a killing machine in the previous histories but in Richard III he is crippled from birth. I never understood how that worked. Also in real live Richard III was a better king than Henry who took over after Gloucester was killed at Bosworth

MASHALLAH. This is perhaps the greatest movie of the 1990s .....

The Prime Minister merely recommends them to the Queen, who could, if she so wished, deny them. The queen can independently award peerages, earldoms, dukedoms and viscounts if she so wished. She doesn't do so because she's got more pride and etiquette than a republican imbecile. If you love republics so much, why don't you sod off to America, the land of "freedom". It works so well there. As for the United Kingdom, we'll have a monarchy for centuries to come, something to identify us.

She doesn't choose who receives her 'honour's and peerages because doing that would be unconstitutional and would irrevocably damage the consensus of the 'monarchy'. The bitch aint gonna do anything that'll jepordise her cushy position as the idle rich monarch.
