It was fun to watch Dame Judy Dench and Michael Gambon in this scene together. They played long lost loves in "Cranford" and now she is his Queen. RIP Michael Dumbledore Gambon.
When i leanred about the queen and Abdul i thought it was amazing. What information that is shared it seems the Queen finally found someone she could trust and sawbas a teue friend. And Abdul was kind to open up and be real woth her and kind . Its so sad their story was reduced down nothing and covered up .
Victoria always valued having a close confidant she could trust and open up to, first her governess filled the role, then Prince Albert, then John Brown and finally Abdul Karim
If public information is anything to go by, she was the only Empress/Emperor of India to actually take the job seriously and understand its meaning. As she says later on in this film, at the time of the film's events she has nearly 1 billion subjects. She didn't view Indian people any differently to people from anywhere else she was sovereign, or at least she didn't view them as less than simply because of where they were born - she was their monarch, they were her subjects/citizens, and she had as much of an obligation and duty to them as she did to the British. Part of me genuinely thinks that if Edward VII had been like Queen Victoria in that way, Indian independence would've come decades earlier and been a lot smoother process. As it was, Edward VII took after the men in his life, George V took after Edward VII, and it wasn't until George VI that Britain had a monarch as self-aware and open-minded as Queen Victoria had been. Thankfully though, each monarch since George VI has definitely stayed in that mould, and I imagine the next two are in that mould too
@@noahbrown6970 what you are saying sounds like what happened to the Mughals. Originally they were Afghan/Persian but by their third generation (Akbar) they were completely Indian and even lost their Afghan territories.
Racism was quite in fashion in the 19th century, still it’s good to know that some people like Queen Victoria in the UK and John Brown in the US existed during these troubled times.
It's the real room, In Osborne house which is a museum. I didnt used to be though, it was a convalescing home for wounded soldiers. They used to smoke in there and it stained the roof.
Human affection ❤ human relationships ❤ human and human !! We all human born to die. Let’s make this world beautiful with love no matter where we born.
LMFAOOOO 😭😭😭😭 sure just because she was nice to one Indian man that means she was a nice human being, lets just ignore her absolutely draining india of its wealth & destroying the culture but just because she acted decent to some indian that all can be forgiven. The same can be said for Ireland & literally every other british invaded colonies
@@shnopemany Empires have subjugated other People's Lands, not just The British. The British also spread Democracy, and left many of their Colonies better after they left. The Communist Soviet Union brutally subjugated Eastern Europe just this last Century, killing Tens of Millions of Christians in the name of Atheism. The Mongols brutally conquered a swath of Land from China to The Black Sea and The Mongols were far more blood thirsty than The British. The Moors seized all of North Africa and Spain to spread Islam, in a ruthless quest for Empire. In many respects, The British were far more restrained than many tyrannical Empires in the last 1,000 Years.
@@shnope just becuz shes the empress doesnt mean she has powers , its the prime minister that has real power. the parliment took power from the throne way before she became the empress The Glorious Revolution (1688-89) permanently established Parliament as the ruling power of England-and, later, the United Kingdom-representing a shift from an absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy.
@@shnope Please learn what a constitutional monarchy is lmao, and Queen Victoria was very progressive for her time, she even adopted a African princess after she was enslaved and left for dead. she didn't drain anything or make the government invade any country nor has ANY other British monarch after parliament took power. You people always get upset at the monarchy but FAIL to hold the British government accountable for what THEY did.
It was just a refined british way of saying the thing was riper than roadkill - also abdul saved the day by saying that and keeping the queen from tasting a mango well on its way to the dump- i’m surprised nothing was said of the sweet stench of an overripe mango 🤣😂🤣🤣🤣
Ahhhhh the story of Aladin is real...... DISNEY'S storytelling..... I knew it. Victoria and Abdul (Jasmine and Abu) I Wil see this movie..... You learn about the history 😉
Well it might be me and my 21st century sensibilities, but if you were to claim a title like Empress of India (which was supposed to be the successor of the Kaisar-i-Hind title of the Mughal Emperors) then you’d need to show gestures of accepting and assimilating some part of that culture such as by having personal servants and staff from said area, including them in government, adopting some of their trappings, etc. The Durbar Room seems to be just logical so IDK why the government officials are so shocked.

This is by far one of my favorite movies. Judi Dench's role reprisal as Vicky is amazing. This is how you make a movie. Bravo! Encore!
Reprisal? She played Queen Elizabeth I not Victoria
. Watch "Mrs. Brown", her first portrayal of Queen Victoria with Billy Connelly as John Brown...
"Vicky?"
