The lonely queen yearns for love, but she cannot achieve a good relationship due to her status. She and Walter Raleigh seem to just sympathize with each other, but they can't compare with Robert Dudley in the first episode (the dancing scene in the first episode is already known in the play), Dudley is always a childhood sweetheart's playmate, and Raleigh just met by chance. And Raleigh fell in love with Bess Throckmorton from the beginning, and dare not openly tease the Queen! M, who was watching the play together, said that Raleigh was an opportunist, and Bess and Bess were clearly lovers, but it made the Queen's heart shake, but I think it was not Raleigh's two boats that the Queen was angry with in the end, but that Raleigh and Bess were clearly alike. Getting married but keeping the Queen in the dark - Bess himself told Raleigh at first that the Queen likes people who tell the truth, but they kept her secret. (As an aside: Raleigh and Bess secretly marrying seems to be years after the Spanish invasion)
There is also Mary Queen of Scots, the film does not seem to explain why she was imprisoned: she was suspected of murdering her second husband Darnley in her home country of Scotland, and then was raped by Bothwell and forced to marry, but she complied with her wishes, and ministers then supported her son James For the emperor; Mary fled to England under the cover of a small group, but was imprisoned by Elizabeth, because she was both a murderer and a French monarch of England in the eyes of Catholics - she is the granddaughter of Margaret, the eldest daughter of Henry VII, the founding monarch of the Tudor Dynasty, Elizabeth It is the daughter of Henry VIII's "mistress" second wife Anne Boleyn. Catholics do not recognize the legality of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn's marriage. Elizabeth is naturally a so-called illegitimate daughter - so she was imprisoned in Sheffield Castle and other places. The Fotheringhay Castle is just her burial place in 1587. Without these backgrounds, it seems difficult to understand why she was in England, and her death made the Spanish division famous.
It's a pity I didn't see the heroic queen say her famous quote: "I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a King of England too… "Otherwise, it would certainly add to Cate Blanchett's regal style.
Of course, this battle seems to have started the prosperity of England. In fact, the influence of Spain is still there, and it has not been eliminated because of the destruction of Spanish Armada, but there is no such arrogance.
The serial boats in the PS subtitles remind me of Zhou Yu, Huang Gai, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and others...
