The Queen

Meant to go to this when it came out, but only just got round to it, spurred on by Helen Marvellous Mirren's Oscar. (And found a lovely date to go with. Yay. But more of that later.) It's a really interesting movie. I find it hard to sympathise with people who have everything laid on for them. But they got you really seeing things from the Queen's point of view. Interesting stuff. There's a bit in the middle where they show you the Queen crying, all by herself in the middle of Scotland where no-one could see. But they only filmed her back, as if even all alone in Scotland, the Queen may not be seen crying, It intensified the isolation and oddness of her life.
