A great improvement on the 4th and 5th films. Sometimes the teen angst was a little much, but I thought this was a great adaptation. *sighs* Now the waiting begins.
"No entertainment is so cheap as reading, nor any pleasure so lasting. She will not want new fashions nor regret the loss of expensive diversions or variety of company if she can be amused with an author in her closet."
Lady Montagu, 1752
You were Elizabeth I. Perhaps the most famous European monarch of all time, Elizabeth I faced so many difficulties to ascend the throne that when she eventually got there she was a very determined, courageous woman, hardened by her hardships. She had a fiery temper and if she decided she wanted to do something, little could stop her! She was a great Queen who led England to victory against the Spanish and left her mark as one of the most positive absolute monarchs to have ruled England, which after the terrible 'bloody' Mary must have been a relief to the English people.
I’m planning on watching The Patriot today in honour of my American friends! I hope all of you in the States have a great Fourth of July!!!
I love that I have no problem being an Anglophile and a Patriotic American at the same time!!!
Long live The Declaration of Independence and British costume dramas !
Huzzah!
