THE QUEEN (2006) B+



The QueenAttempts to depict the British royal family following the death of Princess Diana.

Something must be missing. Royalty brainpower really can't be that thick. The movie shows The Queen, and especially Prince Philip with almost no psychological insight at all. Absolutely no warmth. Creepy people. The people are emotionally frozen in their royal roles. Charles is a little better. "Royalty" was never previously shown this way . . . in my view.

Maybe this is the royal mentality that helped create the first world war

Tony Blair and his gang of merry men are shown with having less class than Lisa's family in My Fair Lady.

You may want to see it because it is soo different than the usual movie.
