Review of The Queen (2006) by Johns. — 04 Dec 2006

Good subject matter, however the story is definately told by those in favor of Britain's Labor Party. The film tries to indoctrinate the viewer with the fact that Tony Blair and his minions are the only ones who "get it.

" The Royal Family has nothing more to do than to listen to their wise council and all will be well. After seeing this movie I can only wonder why the Royal Family is now where they are and Tony Blair is now where he is.

Helen Mirren's portrayal of the Queen is vastly overrated. Someone should have educated her as to how the Queen walks while in public. She does not look like someone wading upstream. Helen very much misses the mark on royal dignity.

I was hoping for an impressive performance both in terms of characters and storyline. It did not appear. An accurately told story without the Labor self-righteousness would have been a worthwhile excercise.

This was a disappointment.
