Review of The Young Victoria (2009) by Mloy X — 29 Sep 2010
The movie is about an hour an a half, I could watch another hour. It's beautiful, and not just for the costumes for which it won an Academy Award.
I don't know much of anything about English history but I enjoy the character Emily Blunt portrays. And though I have always known it, I only remembered at the end of the movie that Victoria and I share a birthday. I appreciated her determination not to be managed, how we see her human struggle dealing with her position. I certainly do love the costumes. I also appreciate how much she loved Albert. She wanted his support, but also his respect that she was the English sovereign and needed to make her own decisions. I appreciate the balance in their marriage as they enjoy eachother and also must deal with the pressure of her duty and others trying to manipulate her.
She loved her country. She loved her husband. She was feisty and passionate. Wonderful.
