[@DavidMichaelCommer]

It's hard to imagine Cate Blanchett living an ordinary human existence outside of her movie roles. She has played benevolently commanding characters, malevolently commanding characters, manipulators, dopes who try to manipulate, and in every role, we're on her side.

[@achunaryan3418]

Everyone with millions or billions don't live ordinary lives outside their roles.

[@jenlambie14]

I've always loved Geoffrey Rush's Walsingham's subtle look of admiration for his Queen.

[@morbius109]

Elizabeth I Regina is, in my mind, one of THE definitive examples of a truly great monarch. She mastered the art of the regal display. She was commanding and dignified, elegant and glorious, and indisputably in command. Few monarchs harnessed the power and prestige of their crown to the level she did. She listened to the counsel of her ministers but was not dominated by them. She had her father’s fire and her grandfather’s calculating guile. And for her efforts, she is now a legend, a titan of history, and rightfully so.

[@harmoniabalanza]

she was no saint, though. Many good things, but also...

[@ellenchavez2043]

Elizabeth I crafted the modern nation and government. The more I read of her, the more in awe of her intelligence, strength and logic. She didn't give into her emotions, and was a step ahead of the men around her. The smartest thing she did was remain single.

[@maxalberts2003]

That's the smartest thing ANYONE can do.

[@queenesther09]

She did have a bit of a temper, I believe, but that's understandable since I'm pretty sure she'd have gotten that from both her parents. I like how something she says here plays into that whole marriage situation: "Some say France, others Spain, and some cannot abide foreigners at all. So I'm not sure how best to please you unless I married one of each."

[@ShaneKilpatrick-i4t]

If you believe the legend, it was to emulate the Holy Mother, who all men hold dear.

[@ellenchavez2043]

@ShaneKilpatrick-i4t Having watched the scramble that her cousin, Mary Queen of Scots faced in finding a husband, marrying and trying to maintain status as a monarch even as the religion and state had women as subservient, Elizabeth was not about to do that. She had a tenuous claim on the throne to start with. Also, sh was a Protestant. There isn't a cult of Mary for Protestants as there is for Catholics.

I must admit, this is one of the scenes that solidified Cate Blanchett in my mind as a wonderful actress. The movie itself may be on the melodramatic side, flowing through certain details for the benefit of Hollywood. But nonetheless, Cate Blanchett is one superb actress.

[@TrulyMadlyShallowly]

Her voice, her voice. It so excellent and she commands it wholly. This is my favourite scene in one of my favourite movies, by my favourite actress

[@Jonnie_Rich]

I was obsessed with this movie and was a fan of her early on. I think she is a brilliant actor she just makes her characters so believable which is probably part of the definition of acting but still she is a master at it. I loved the baroque music in this film too. Do you recall the scene when her ladies in waiting are snipping her hair and applying thick white makeup over her skin? The hauntingly beautiful melody of Mozart's requiem introitus in the background while she is essentially de-feminizing herself to become a monarch still gives me chills. She sacrificed all that made her a woman and made her Elizabeth to become the representation of a single Monarch.

[@Tatortot318]

I just watched this, her performance blew me away.

[@tdb7992]

She represented a new breed of Australian actresses at the time who would go on to achieve greatness. Elizabeth was Cate Blanchett's first big role, and she nailed it. Her and her husband are directors of the Sydney Theatre Company and their work there has been magnificent.

[@kevindahlenburg2528]

One of my favorite films

[@tachiebillano6244]

Elizabeth I had the skills of a top-notch orator, state prosecutor, PR / propaganda manager, and political tactician -- skills which were honed from childhood, especially during that insane time she was almost semi-secretly executed by powerful nobles and clergy who were trying to puppeteer her older sister Mary into approving her death at their hands. She learned to read people and discern the hidden decisions and reasons behind what they did or said. She learned to pay attention to even the smallest details that could change outcomes -- even little things like making people wait while she wrote long letters, to postpone her arrest or incarceration to yet another day, or dressing and talking a certain way, to generate positive word-of-mouth -- all that was what kept her from getting killed in a patriarchal society with men grasping for the throne. This movie may be a wildly inaccurate fictionalized version of her life, but I don't mind, LOL. It captures Elizabeth's wily nature and how skillfully she moved Parliament in this moment.

She may have brought a Golden Age in England but it was too late. Spain was still in power and so was France, Portugal and even Russia. Elizabeth only repaired a kingdom but it was Queen Victoria who made it into an empire.

[@tommoncrieff1154]

Victoria presided over an expanding empire, the world’s greatest, but as a constitutional monarch she did not make it. It took hundreds of years to get there before Victoria. Elizabeth was an executive monarch who inherited the beginnings of great naval power from her father and who built a huge navy, we even remember the names of many captains, explorers and merchants. In her reign England began to colonise far flung lands hitherto unknown, although the most famous, the 13 colonies of America, were given up in the reign of Victoria’s grandfather.
