My history teacher did show us this film.
But the lesson was on how badly sometimes modern culture gets history, and our entire lesson plan was to point out as many things wrong with it as we could >.>
That actually sounds pretty cool.
@@williamtimonen6814 It was. He had an entire unit based around identifying and double checking media (Movies, books, news reports, his uncle's social media posts) for historical accuracy.
I think we learned more in those few weeks than we did in all of high school. And my high school fired a teacher because apparently "You're not supposed to be injecting your own opinion into history. It's not clear if the trail of tears ever happened. Columbus is arguably the first person to know that the world was round!"
...yeah.
You had a good teacher.
@@balljointfd3s There was...some fast forwarding >.>
Reminds me of NASA using the movie “Armageddon” as a training tool to point out every scientific inaccuracy as possible.
Cate Blanchette portrays Elizabeth so well....would be so nice to have it historically accurate
That was back when period pieces had to be like soap operas to get people to see them.. the "Titanic" effect
Reading the comments ... this critique is also full of inaccuracies.
15:12 "Elizabeth's advisors tell her, that she has inherited a bankrupt kingdom"
**cuts to Richard Attenborough**
I was half expecting his character to tell her "We spared no expense!"

I'm just amazed at how many famous actors are in this movie before they even took part in the projects that propelled them to fame. That casting director did a REALLY good job of finding talent.
Yet also Eric Cantona. I wonder if this was before the infamous flock seagulls following a trawler interview. That fucking guy, what a legend.
I was about to comment on this.
Every scene seems to include somebody INCREDIBLY talented and famous :P
When seemingly every supporting actor could be a lead... that casting director had BETTER have had an amazing career ^^
"People didn't want to be ruled by a Spanish king"
As a Dutchman I can relate.
I had to giggle at this comment because of it's accuracy XD
Why? Bec you are(/want to be) ruled by your own king?
@@IceColder The Dutch revolted against Habsburg Spain, forming the first Dutch republic. It was actually against the same Spanish king, Philip II.
Ironically, England was ruled by a Dutch king for a short while.
@Oscar Chile He was the legitimate ruler of the Spanish Netherlands, yes. He was also extremely unpopular even before he violently cracked down on protestantism, especially compared to Charles V, his predecessor.
I was half expecting Cecil to say: "welcome, to the Jurassic Park, your highness"! I mean, it wouldn't have mess up the historical accuracy that much more, considering how much "artistic licence" was taken already.
We've spared no expense.
Spare no expenses!

Game of thrones isn’t real,Son.
Add that the real Cecil was in his 30s, less than half of Attenborough's age.
Say what you will about these medieval wackos, Henry was onto something with that wine fountain.
Not the first tyrant to try that lol
I LOVE a wine fountain!
I really wouldn't classify Henry as a medieval king, but your point stands.
I feel so ripped off that the best I've seen was just a stupid chocolate fountain! I wonder if I could buy a chocolate fountain and repurpose it...
He was a visionary, I tell you
Not to mention the fact that Kat Ashley, Elizabeth's favorite lady-in-waiting, is actually her governess and is supposed to be 30 years older than her. They pretty much had a mother-daughter relationship. In the movie, however, Kat Ashley is a young woman and close to the same age as Elizabeth.
And she was Walter Raleighs great aunt! Elizabeths boy toy from the second movie.
And she was more like Walsignham 2.0, she snuck around for information and provided it to Elizabeth. She had such a huge role in her life and to see it erased in this movie.elizabeth visited her deathbed everyday and was so distraught when the woman who was practically her mother just wasn't in court one day.
The tie in with the dress was kinda creative...Kat was gifted a French silk dress by the queen but she wasn't poisoned and didn't die horrifically like this. Not to mention they would have had to have soaked that dress in a vat of whatever toxin they used which would have been needed by the gallon, something not able to be accomplished in 1500-whatever.
The thing that bent me the most, was the absolute, most, RIDICULOUS thing was with Dudley.. Aside from the absolute untruth that he plotted against her, the “and she never saw him alone again,” never trusted him again, let him “live to remind her who you can’t trust” put on her white makeup because of him? Oh my, I just can’t. 🙄🙄🙄. Exactly. Oh please, teachers please don’t. He was her absolute loyal servant, and they loved each other, until they both died.

So Blackadder is a better historical referrence, than the movies?
um, yes British comedy of the time is usually written by well educated people and with Blackadder they trying o find the funny with in the truth of the time
Thats right
The firsr Blackadder was admittedly fake news as it is "false history" by Henry Tudor but the later ones are set in actual history with a Blackadderian twist. the final one is of course very unhistoric given its premise
@@SantomPh I thought that was reasonable right in it showing of history
Yes.
WOOF!
For me it was the car chase that really was the final nail in the historical accuracy coffin. The Ford Cortina they used in the chase wouldn't have been in production for another 4 years.

You say tumour! Arnold says tummuhh!
The pictures you are showing of the current Hatfield House is not the one Princess Elizabeth would have known. It was built much later in 1611, eight years after the death of Queen Elizabeth I. There is a section of the old palace at Hatfield that stands nearby and does look medieval and bears a resemblance to the one in the film. Also, the Tower of London was not just used as a prison for accused traitors and criminals. It was used as a royal palace. For centuries, it was the place where new monarchs would stay until their coronation. They would travel in grand procession from the Tower to be crowned in Westminster Abbey.
Ironically, the more offended and enraged Hodges becomes, the more entertaining his videos.

Don't get him started
@Vũ Hoàng Minh Chí But did he take any notice of her?
Or Mary Queen of Scots
8:17 the mention of fountains with red wine is not accurate. That was part of the Field of Cloth of Gold. A temporary city Henry the VIII had constructed. If the fountains at Base Court had wine it was only occasionally.
Damn that's cool man I love facts
It IS accurate in that there were many conduits built in London and larger cities in England, which were for fresh water to flow for people to access. Many people in the cities may not have had access to wells or springs. So this provided clean, fresh water. On Holy days and festivals, the authorities would have the conduits run with Wine for the citizens.
Even the fountains were accurate though tended to be only where the King was.
@Cherry Berry - you said "If the fountains at Base Court had wine it was only occasionally"'; that contradicts your saying the fountains with red wine is not accurate.
In an archeological dig at Hampton Court Palace in 2008 they found remains of a 16th century fountain.
They built a replica of the fountain shown in the painting of the Field of the Cloth of Gold.
"Shall we keep this movie historically accurate?"
"Naaah .... let's put the Duke of Anjou in girlie clothing so we can mock crossdressing!"

I don't have a problem with the director or the actors, but the guy who wrote this was able to sell himself as an expert so well that become a writer of the Tudors, and to the Vikings as well. Which have all familiar problems

Really the very best drama about Elizabeth was the 70s TV series Elizabeth R, starring Glenda Jackson. It also stars Robert Hardy, which was actually compulsory in all period dramas.
One of my all-time favorites!
Robert Hardy was Albert, the Prince Consort in Edward the King, too! He’s a total HBIC.
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is probably more accurate
Hahahahahahahahahaha
Lmao I used to love that movie.
Sadly true
Confederates were a bunch of vampires for sure gkad they were defeated.
Queen Elizabeth: Werewolf Hunter. Make it happen!
The second series of Black Adder was more accurate.
Black Adder isn't historically accurate?
@@mearl3977 Black Adder's cod piece "The Black Russian" was truly historically accurate because it terrified the clergy.
**Queen Elizabeth enters the room**
"IT'S THE STRIPPER!"
Yeah, Cate Blanchette was good as Elizabeth, but nowhere NEAR as good as Miranda Richardson. :)
Not to mention more entertaining.
I’d like to suggest Hotel Rwanda for a review as it is a important subject and I’d like to see more about it, also I’f you were to do Hotel Rwanda Watch Shake hands with the Devil as well on the same subject but a different point of view.
Hotel Rwanda would be really interesting. I really enjoyed the movie, but then I read a book by a survivor of the genocide that said the main character's portrayal in the movie is grossly inaccurate.
@@teheyepatch Agreed. I know a woman who’s worked with locals in that area. The guy is essentially personna non grata because he was complicit in the deaths of many many people.
There is also the movie Shake Hands with the Devil that portrays Delliare and his role in Rwanda which if I'm remembering right, is bases off the autobiography of the same name.
The Hatfield House you show as "fit for a Renaissance Princess" was built in 1611 by Robert Cecil, William's son. What's left of Elizabeth's home is now called The Old Palace at Hatfield
Tbf the Old Palace is still a good deal prettier than whatever that old castle thing is they show in the movie, but your quite right. It's rather a glaring inaccuracy of the video as well, as Hatfield House is considered a key example of an early modern Country House, not renaissance. It might seem minor, but if you have any sort of interest in the architectural history of england, it's almost as glaring an error as comparing a renaisance manor to an old medieval castle. Perhaps even more, since renaisance manor's stil rettained many architectural elements of old castles.
Henry VIII: How dare you to bring such Blasphemous literature into my household Woman!!!
Anne Boleyn: But it makes good points, here it says that A nation's King should be also That nation's Highest Religious Authority

They were more interested in the dresses than in historical accuracy.
And that gives great content on Instagram for period film and historical fashion fans
So kind of like Reign?
@@katherinealvarez9216 no. Reign is interested in "aesthetic" faux mediaeval off the rack dresses. Elizabeth's costumes are actually pretty good and detailed. There's a pretty good video by TH-cam channel "Costume CO" about the costumes from Reign that might interest you.
Katherine Alvarez no reign is a show void of any historical accuracy in its costumes so much so that it is almost infamous for it
I would love to see one of these done on the Showtime Mini series "The Borgia's".

As for Anne Boleyn’s execution, it could be argued that catholic factions at court wanted Anne out and Jane in. They might have thought that, upon Anne’s execution, that Henry would go back to Catholicism. I agree, though, it’s possible that Henry wanted her out because she didn’t give him a son. But we’ll never know for sure!
it is atually anne berlin... as in city
@@danielburton2736 No it isn't, Tina spelled it correctly, and it's "actually."
How did they think Henry would go back after he had raided the monastery’s of all their riches.
As far as I understand it, the Boleyn family and especially Anne herself lorded it over a lot of pople on their way to power and while in power. These things have a way of coming back to haunt you.
Henry was never a Lutheran or Protestant. He was head of the Catholic Church in England. English Catholics as opposed to Roman Catholic.

Considering this series, seems like fair game to point this out. The painting you’re showing at 8:30 is from the Field of the cloth of gold, not Hampton Court. It was a temporary palace set up in Calais for Henry’s meeting with Francois I. It only stood for about 2 weeks. Just a footnote. Still a great episode regardless. :)

Now, whenever I see Dudley swaggering towards Elizabeth with his shirt open, I shall see Fabio in Fienne's place.
When your making a movie about one of the most melodramatic moments in history, something that already reads like a damn soap opera, whats the point in stretching the truth?
Thank you, Elizabeth movie, for essentially introducing Cate Blanchett to the world. We shall always be grateful for this. But your history, on the other hand...
It took me so long to appreciate Cate Blanchett as an actor b/c I saw THIS in the theatres & couldn't stand it, or by extension, her. But she is indeed a gift, so...

Well, they *were* childhood friends- & she wasn't exactly in pole place to become the next ruler of England when her father died- odd matrimonial bonds had been made before now, so it was hardly impossible; I mean, do we have any indications from first hand sources that Edward's health would be so frail early on, & that he would never get to marry & father an heir?
Mary *could* have had a child during her 3/ 4-year marriage (I mean, by the time she married, she was heading into menopause- which wouldn't have helped her bio-clock, but Catherine Parr had initially counted herself out on motherhood, too, most like- & she'd been married like three times- so she had even more reason to do so - when she finally got herself hitched to Tom Seymour), & Elizabeth's status/ marriage prospects would have dropped further; much like she & Mary's did, when Edward was born.
The thing is, obviously; due to her royal status, heir to the throne or not- people would have been watching her, due to what happened when she was younger.
Royalty & high nobility largely married for political reasons, as everyone well knows- rare are the Catherine of Valois/ Edmund Tudor or, Edward IV/ Elizabeth Woodville-type matches - though, *had* Elizabeth's siblings managed to live longer/ have children, her marriage prospects may have become less of a concern.
Conversely, like Nick mentions- his family's connection to the taint of treason might have impacted his chances, even more than his marital status.
It's not often mentioned outside of the famous example of Mary, Queen of Scots, but Elizabeth could be quite cruel to potential heirs to the throne- the hapless Lady Jane Grey had sisters, who- in accordance with Henry's will, were in line to the throne; I can't recall what happened with them, but I believe one of them ended up in the Tower, when they married someone else who was also somewhere in the line of succession- there their child Arbella, or Arabella Stuart- who lived into the reign of James I, & was basically under house arrest 'til she died.
Given it's said she was a well educated & charming young woman, you can't help but wonder how different history would be- had Elizabeth accepted the Greys, & just raised Arabella her as heir...
@@HK-gm8pe They change things to make it more mainstream and marketable.
I’ve been to the Hampton Court Palace. It’s nuts. Henry even had a kitchen just for making chocolate, and me and my family also went to the hunting grounds, but we didn’t see any deer :(
I saw this movie when it first came out and thought (and still think) it was wonderful. I'm not sure I actually ever thought it was historically accurate out meant to be. I remember from the poster alone, with the very attractive Cate Blanchett's strewn about her shoulders, you realized you weren't going to watch your grandfather's Queen Elizabeth. And I think your early summation, about the filmmakers wanting to make a historical drama, is dead on. The movie is very stylized throughout. When Elizabeth and Cecil have sex, I doubt the bed curtains had a pattern of eyes on it, either. In other words, I never thought the movie was historically accurate, but I never thought it was trying to be either, and I thought it was pretty clear about that.

I'm so glad I came upon your channel I didn't know that you were out there. I love it I'm going to watch all the episodes.
I had to pause and tell you how much I love that you dated yourself with an "MTV Cribs" reference. *Chef's Kiss* Perfect, my man.
My professor actually did show this in class, but used it as a way to test our retention of what we'd learned, having us dissect the inaccuracies afterwards.
Elizabeth kept Dudley's last letter to her in a box beside her bed until her death and wrote upon it "his last letter"
I loved the movie for the costuming and it did not matter if those where historically accurate or not. The clothing was exquisite.
Phenomenal job! I would love to see a review of Marie Antoinette directed by Sofia Coppola.
That was a great movie! Critics didn't like it because of the music choices, but I thought it was a really unique twist on history.
@@louthegiantcookie It´s actually my favorite sophia´s movie. I like it even when it´s not accurate, it´s fascinating.
@@louthegiantcookie music?
@@chubbiMommi Yeah, they got all indignant because the director put modern music in a historical film. Honestly, I liked it. I thought it was different, and made the movie more unique, you know?
@@louthegiantcookie ah.... ic... like with that other show on Netflix.. my daughter has been begging me to watch that movie forever.. it looks beautiful, but the modern music take.. not my thing... still gorgeous movie though 💕
Mary Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden (womb) grow? With silver bells and cockell (cuckold) shells and pretty maids (dead babys) all in a row.
OH DAMN! My little girl (3) sings this song often! I always thought it was a cute rhyme about a girl's garden... well how wrong was I? 😂🤦♀️
Learn something new everyday. It's quite eerie how some of the most beloved nursery rhymes can have the darkest of origins.
According to Disney; the silver bells were in reference to her clothing designs, the cockle shells were in reference to her favorite food and the pretty maids all in a row were her ladies in waiting
Let's be honest, no one watches Elizabeth for historical accuracy. But we do watch this show for the pleasure of you ripping the big historical threads apart.
Thanks for the upload!
I'm eagerly awaiting for you to tear Elizabeth: The Golden Age a new one.
Also as a Contrast, you can review Mary: Queen of Scots movie.
Also, the HBO miniseries "Elizabeth I" with Helen Mirren.
Is that Mel Brooks in a lady kilt?
It is amazing how many historical sources are preserved for England at that age. Other places are less fortunate.
my teacher taught us all of this accurately but then showed this movie in class (while taking a much longer time doing it to pause and explain the historical inaccuracies) because he thinks people are helped with the visual but it takes up SO much of our class’s time.
8:00 My guess is the filmmakers didn't have access to those places to film.
Henry was the man.
Henry: oh yeah, I'm gonna make my own church. With divorce, and beheading!
"In fact! Destroy the churches!"
...So same as the old church just with you at the head of it instead of the Pope?
No wonder the masses by and large shrugged off the "change"
@@Terminalsanity well there were more restrictions to divorce. Consummated marriages were extremely hard to get annulled.
@@lelouche25 Depends on who you were and who you divorcing. It was only hard for Henry to get one because the Spanish Crown at the time gave so much more money to the Catholic Church than the English Crown did.
@@Terminalsanity True but we got to remember religion was much bigger at the time. Divorce was really frowned on by the Catholics.
I really enjoy both "Elizabeth" & "The Golden Age", and have watched them numerous times. But that's mainly for Blanchett's portrayal of Elizabeth and for all the other wonderful performances. But, historically speaking, they are so bad I actually feel sorry you had to spend so much time watching them and making this video...that had to hurt!
It is still 100x more accurate than the movies Braveheart or The Patriot lol
Zelomeister I'm old enough to think "Elizabeth&Essex" with Bette Davis&Errol Flynn was a fine film. I'd strongly recommend it to all younger folks who haven't seen it.
Your videos are so enjoyable to watch. Great work!
I really enjoyed this movie, especially the performances of Cate Blanchett and Geoffrey Rush the latter as the oily spy Sir Francis Walsingham, he plays the part in an especially chilling way. I don't care about the inaccuracy, the film makers must be allowed creativity and surely they had to condense the events into a few years at the beginning of the reign of one of our greatest monarchs.
Honestly I thought this was Elizabeth: the golden age at first
Don’t worry history buffs, my history teacher showed me Zulu in high school
@@user-vh7ks8px3s that was out of nowhere,give me more if this
My military history teacher shows 300.
My biology teacher showed us... eh... "documentary" about the memory of water. Yes, with full seriousness. Man was I embarrassed that I believed in that crap when I have educated myself on the matter several years latter
Our leftist school system will be given the same light.
8:08 I'd imagine those European palaces would take an entire season, especially the Palace of Madrid, the Royal Palace of Caserta, Versailles, Stockholm Palace and the Winter Palace
I would love to see you do a general review of the John Adams miniseries!
Mary Queen of Scots was also historically inaccurate as hell.
yup
it killed me how far from reality that whole film was, couldn't enjoy it!
It was more accurate than this movie
The version from the early 70s, with Vanessa Redgrave, is more acurate, and has the plus of an incredible music score.
“Oh shut up movie!” 😂
Howdy, Mr. Hodges! 👋
This review was an absolute joy to experience. Not just in terms of historical enlightenment, but genuine fall-out-of-your-chair laughter.😂
I dare say, had my school teachers had even a fraction of your talent and/or personality, I would've enjoyed social studies a great deal more!
Algebra, geometry and trig would almost certainly have continued to suffer, but you know... math.😁
Your Father [may he rest in peace] had every right to brag about his son's talent, intelligence and level of success.
The content of your channel is easily on par with any History Channel program I've seen... even if you can't match their production budget.😉
Time VERY well spent... and more than worth the price of admission. SUBSCRIBED! 🥳
This was EXCELLENT! Finally someone said it---all of it!
Amen & Thank You.
What bugs me the most about the film is they portray Elizabeth as some fragile, naive, frightened little lamb. Puleeeze!! She was tough, brilliant & gutsy. Elizabeth R still remains the best film about her.
Yhea I’ve actually had a teacher show this in History class, so yeah...
UncivilSum you had it better than me, in the 7th grade we watched the patriot we had to get a permission slip signed to watch a r rated movies and everything
My teacher showed us the attack scene in Pearl Harbor back in High School thinking the Japanese attacking US Hospitals as "accurate".
I remember my history teacher showing us "The Alamo: Thirteen Days to Glory" and telling us it was the most accurate one.
My english teacher recommended these films to my class when talking about Elizabeth...luckily, I doubt any of them would watch a period drama.
My teacher showed this as well, but was also quick to point out inaccuracies.
He did something similar with Enemy at the Gates and Luther, to which our class joked about how Joseph Fiennes was in ALL of them.
I think this is my new favorite history channel.
The funny thing about Henry VIII's divorce becoming such a big deal, is that I've read of a few accounts of other monarchs just basically saying "Whatever Pope, doing it anyway" and that was that.
