Task: Elizabeth - The Golden Age

The film is a historical thriller with a great cast and it is  direct by Shekhar Kapur.

The film tells about the reign of Elizabeth Tudor, the daughter of Enrico VIII and Anna Bolena. She was born in 1553 and she died in 1603.

In 1558 Mary I of England died leaving her sister Elizabeth as Queen; the film shows Elizabeth being courted by suitors and   her refusal to get married.

She escaped to various threats to her reign, including The Duke of Norfolk, a Catholic in her court who conspires to have her murdered, and the effective ruler of Scotland, Mary of Guise.

At the end of the film, the first  is executed for his conspiracy and Mary is assassinated by Elizabeth's advisor, Francis Walsingham.

The film ends when Elizabeth becomes 'The Virgin Queen' thus starting  England's Golden Age.

It is a film with a lot of attempts, murders, intrigues and treasons; the runtime is 114 minutes.

The cast is: Cate Blanchett as Elisabeth, Daniel Craig s John Ballard, Geoffrey Rush as Francis Walsingham, Kathy Burne as Mary, Christopher Eccleston as Thomas Howard and other.

I think it is a beatiful film and I want  to watch it as soon as I can.
