The Queen

Last week I watched The Queen, which is about what may have happened behind closed doors with the Queen of England when Diana was killed. I had heard the acting in it was well done, which is what prompted me to watch the movie. Overall, it was a good film. It was an outstanding character portrayal of the Queen that conveyed to the public why the film maker thought the Queen acted the way she did publically. It did not make Diana out to be a hero or the Queen out to be a villain. In fact, at the end of it, you almost sympathize with the Queen because of the position she is put into. I liked the fact that it did everything matter of factly. It didn't reveal the Diana that the royal family knew behind the palace walls, although it alluded to the fact that public Diana was very different. It wasn't an expose or anything like that. Very believable, and the acting was outstanding.
