Product Description

Winner of the Academy Award® for Best Actress, Dame Helen Mirren gives a spellbinding performance in THE QUEEN, the provocative story behind one of the most public tragedies of our time the sudden death of Princess Diana. In the wake of Diana's death, the very private and tradition-bound Queen Elizabeth II (Mirren) finds herself in conflict with the new Prime Minister, the slickly modern and image-conscious Tony Blair. THE QUEEN, also starring Academy Award® Nominee James Cromwell (Best Supporting Actor, BABE, 1995), takes you inside the private chambers of the Royal Family and the British government for a captivating look at a vulnerable human being in her darkest hour, as a nation grieving for its People's Princess waits to see what its leaders will do. Suspenseful, heartfelt and riveting, it's a fascinating story you wont soon forget.

Amazon.com

Helen Mirren reigns supreme in The Queen, a witty and ingenious look at a moment that rocked the house of Windsor: the week that followed the sudden death of Princess Diana in 1997. Diana's death came at just the same time that Prime Minister Tony Blair (played by the bright Michael Sheen) was settling into his new government--and trying to figure out the delicate relationship between 10 Downing Street and Queen Elizabeth II (Mirren). A large portion of the British population was trying to figure out the Windsors that week, as Elizabeth remained stiff-upper-lip and largely mum about the death of the beloved princess. In Peter Morgan's skillful script, we watch as Blair grows increasingly impatient with the Royals, who are sequestered in their Scottish estate while the public demands some show of grief. Prince Philip (James Cromwell, in good form) clumsily decides to take Diana's sons hunting, while a sympathetically-treated Prince Charles (Alex Jennings) displays some frustration with his mother's eerie calm.

None of this conveys how funny the film is, or how deftly it flows from one scene to the next. Director Stephen Frears (Dirty Pretty Things) deserves great credit for that, and for the performances, and for the movie's marvelous sense of well-roundedness; you could see this movie and groan at the cluelessness of the Royals and their outmoded existence, or you might just sympathize with showing reserve in a world that values gross public displays of emotion. But either way, you'll marvel at Mirren, who makes the Queen far more alert and human than one might ever have imagined. --Robert Horton

All Hail The Queen of England

Biopics are a dime a dozen, and the ability to make a successful biopic depends largely on who you're making the biopic of, who it's fanbase of the loved public figure is, and whether or not you want to please that fanbase or tick them off. "The Queen" chooses the middle road in this final decision, which was a risky move on the film makers part, but one that pays off nicely. "The Queen" is a fictional story of the events that take place after Princess Diana's untimely death. After a series of news clips that show Diana behaving questionably, we then cut to a servant waking up Prince Philip and letting him know that Diana has been killed in a car crash. The newly appointed prime minister Tony Blair is quick to make a statement about Diana's death, uttering his famous quote "she was the people's princess."

After his statement, Blair goes to the royals and asks if they would like to say anything publicly about Diana's death. Queen Elizabeth II (Helen Mirren, in a role that is sure to win her a Best Actress award come Oscar time) refuses, stating "no member of the royale family will comment on the Princesses death." The royals no longer consider Diana part of the royal family, remembering her as a woman who partied too much, had public affairs, and was an overall headache. Besides, the death of a family member is a "personal family affair, and the public will understand that." Too bad for the Queen, but the public doesn't respond well to the silence at all. They eagerly await a public acknowledgment from their queen, and are furious at the silence of the royals. When the royals refuse to hang their flag down to acknowledge the loss of a loved one, tempers flair even more.

The media prints news article after news article, condemning the royals for their silence, while the Prince just mumbles about how rude the people are being. "They talk as if they were the one's who knew her," he says angrily. "To them she was a saint, to us she was a nuisance." Blair has a public relations nightmare as he tries to calm Britains anger, but finds himself in popular light where everyone is in favor of destroying the monarchy in favor of a new government (preferably with Blair in it). The royals themselves don't come off as cruel, selfish people, but rather as people who are controlled by tradition and time. The world has evolved greatly since Queen Elizabeth II began her ruling, where she once was the Queen, but now is the Queen in name only. She does not interact with people outside of the castle and royal grounds, and simply cannot relate to the peoples outrage.

As the week goes on, we feel sad for her when she loses sleep at night, feeling hurt and rejected by her people. She can't even begin to figure out why they hate her so much. Is it too much to ask for some privacy when mourning the loss of a family member? Was Diana still considered a family member when the royal family rejected her a few years ago? If she is not, then why is it her responsibility to make a statement? When she discovers that Diana's funeral will be attended by celebrities, she wonders whether or not people will be watching Diana's funeral as if it were the circus. Compared to Prince Philips, who openly shows a lot of resentment towards Diana, Queen Elizabeth II truly comes off as someone who cares about the situation, but just doesn't know what to do about it. Even Prince Charles urges her to make a statement, though he certainly doesn't completely understand what his mother is going thru.

When Queen Elizabeth II finally does exit the castle to be with her people while they mourn, she is shocked and touched by how much love and emotion she feels from her people. Her eyes swell up with tears, as if she was feeling what it was like to be a true queen again for the first time in years. There was a whole world she was missing full of love and compassion, and it was waiting for her if she would just go outside once in awhile. Even Tony Blair, who receives the full blow of the ripple effect caused by the royals silence, begins to understand where the Queen is coming from. When his wife encourages Blair to just let the Queen "hang herself," Blair frowns at her and says "You don't understand, this is six hundred years of tradition she's throwing away."

Yes the royals made a mistake, but maybe it wasn't a mistake. Maybe it was a miscalculation. The royals certainly couldn't have predicted what silence would mean to Britain, and they were unprepared for the backlash they received. Maybe they just didn't understand the situation in the first place? Maybe we didn't take the time to understand their feelings, or wonder what their situation was? Maybe it was a combination of all the above? Regardless what the situation was, it was all worth it for a little bit more understanding of each other. For in the midst of confusion, hope shined through.

I watched this movie the morning after Queen Elizabeth II died. It ended just as King Charles III came on the air to give his first address to the people of the UK and the world. What an amazing segue!

I had heard of the film for years, but never watched it until being reminded of it during the press coverage of her death. The film covers the time period surrounding Diana, the former Princess of Wales. The film did a remarkable job of portraying the queen’s attitude toward duty and her inability to perceive the needs of the people to grieve for Diana. I watched it again that evening with my husband – on Prime Video – and he had a similar response. He & I were also quite interested to see the inter-action between the queen and Tony Blair, the newly elected Prime Minister. Not only did it give the queen a brilliant foil to show her general attitudes toward royal and family life, but my husband especially enjoyed the extra insight into the character and role of Tony Blair in the British government.

I was thrilled to watch it, throwing caution to the wind, knowing that the queen had liked Helen Mirren’s portrayal of her. I felt free to see that portrayal as realistic and not polished up to hide flaws. When I changed the TV to watch the new king’s first speech – both times I watched the movie – I found it remarkable how much of the family’s final decisions and understandings regarding the death of Diana & the grief of the people were echoed in the sentiments expressed by the new king regarding his “Mummy” and the people of the UK. It made for a very full experience. Please enjoy.

The tragic death of "The People's Princess..."

Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2015

Verified Purchase

On August 31, 1997, a car crash in a Parisian tunnel paralyzed a nation with grief, put a government in crisis, and alienated a beloved royal family from its subjects. That crash took the life of Lady Diana Spencer, formerly the Princess of Wales, and the mother of the second-in-line heir to the British throne.

"The Queen," starring Helen Mirren, Michael Sheen, and James Cromwell, is a beautifully acted, masterfully written, and historically accurate drama that chronicles the events that occurred in Britain in the aftermath of Princess Diana's death. Written by Peter Morgan and directed by Stephen Frears, it examines why the British royal family, led by Queen Elizabeth II, was both unable and unwilling to deal effectively with Diana's sudden death; and shows the rift that developed between the royal family, Britain's newly elected government, and the British public.

In the early morning hours of August 31st, while staying with her family at her summer palace in Scotland, the Queen is awakened told that Diana has just been killed in a car crash in Paris. The Queen, her husband Prince Philip, and the Queen Mother all maintain a curious indifference to the news.

In London, newly elected Prime Minister Tony Blair becomes the public face of the tragedy. As he tries to coordinate long-distance funeral arrangements for Diana with the vacationing Queen, he is met with frustration. Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, and the Queen Mother are all opposed to the idea; because Diana is no longer considered a "royal," they want a strictly private funeral.

The monarch steadfastly refuses to interrupt the family's vacation for any reason. This puts the royal family increasingly at odds with the Prime Minister, and especially the British public. Blair, always the consummate politician, has read the public mood accurately; he advises the Queen that his latest internal polling indicates that one in four Britons currently favors abolishing the monarchy altogether...

Will the Queen agree to a state funeral and make a public appearance? Watch this outstanding film to find out.

There many, many positive things to say about this fine movie. The acting is simply marvelous throughout. Helen Mirren won a Best Actress Academy Award for her marvelous performance as the British monarch, and Michael Sheen performs to perfection as Prime Minister Tony Blair. James Cromwell matches Mirren's performance with his own, as the Duke of Edinburgh.

"The Queen's" screenplay is brilliant. Dialogue is always sharp, witty where appropriate, acerbic at times, and always fascinating. The film's pace never flags. Sets and costumes brilliantly reflect the times. "The Queen" is historically accurate, although some events have naturally been compressed or altered in the interests of time.

From its opening scenes to its closing credits, "The Queen" is entertainment at its very best. Highly recommended.

Premetto che avevo lo stesso film in DVD, ma con i sottotitoli, non eliminabili, che mi disturbano la visione e la bellezza della scena. Ecco, dunque, la mia decisione di acquistare il BD: visione d'eccezone, come gli attori e le attrici; politica, storia, etichetta di corte; mirabile interpretazione di Hellen Mirren; e,di sopra di tutto, si percepisce la presenza di Lei, Diana, in perenne competizione con la stessa regina che non accetta di essere seconda a nessuno. Buon bilanciamento di interni ed esterni, che fanno di un film una pellicola completa.Le lingue sono tedesco e inglese. Ottimo acquisto.
