Fortrel tumbles...

I already have a blog, a twitter feed, a flickr album... Do I really need another place to share my life online? Anyhow, I though this might be fun to give it a shot.

Elisabeth, The Golden Age

In order to celebrate my digital mastery of planning tools (i.e. we didn’t make it to our Marocan cuisine’s class because I had wrongly entered it in my agenda) we decided to take advantage of my father-in-law’s offer to baby-sit Jeremie and went to the theater. Because Halloween is next week, we picked ‘Elisabeth, The Golden Age.’ What? It’s not an horror movie? You’re right… But Nathalie and I are not big fans of horror movies.
So how was the movie? Pretty good. I don’t know how accurate it is - I’m not an expert in English history - but the story is compelling and captivated me. Romance and tension is built up nicely. Some scenes’ symbolism are over-done (I’ thinking about that scene where the king of Spain prays by a candle while his Armada fights against the Englishs ships) but over-all it’s fell done. There are a few bloody scenes, so be prepared to close your eyes if you have a sensible heart. The costumes are beautiful and the actors are doing a good job.
The final naval scene looks over-simplified considering the length of the movie and the historical importance of that battle. We could have got an extra 10 minutes without affecting too much the flow of the story.
Looking at what else is being shown on the big screen these days, ‘Elisabeth, The Golden Age’ is probably your best bet for a movie night. But don’t expect a block buster.
