Elizabeth - The Golden Age

Seen on Saturday.

Very good movie!
I don't know for sure if it's historically correct but I think it's not too far away from reality.

Plot:

Elizabeth: The Golden Age finds Queen Elisabeth I (Cate Blanchett) facing bloodlust for her throne and familial betrayal.
Growing keenly aware of the changing religious and political tides of the late 16th century Europe, Elizabeth finds her rule openly challenged by the Spanish King Philip II (Jordi Molla) with his powerful army and sea-dominating armada determined to restore England to Catholicism.

Sorry, but historically it is completely WRONG, did you know she wanted to marry Philip II from Spain, who was even king of England when he was married to Mary? It is a pity so many good actors and actresses in SO MANY HISTORICALLY WRONG MOVIES The Spanish Armada, only called invincible by the englis, was defeated by the weather

Thanks for your comment and the information!
It's really annoying that the movies are so often historically incorrect!
