It means - "do not keep using my name - my name would be damaged with so much use" - Items with regular use could get damaged or look old and tattered - the item looses the brilliance and beauty of what it was when new - Have a care with my name - (do not overuse my name) -- you would wear it out (with constant use my name would get damaged) Trust that this is okay.. ok😊
I love how Queen Elizabeth knows exactly what's going on (Master Kent is Viola, Shakespeare came to her court in disguise, etc.), and goes along with it, sparing Shakespeare and Viola public shame and criminal charges.
"MR. TILNEY! Have a care with my name, you'll wear it out." To me, this is one of the most impressive expressions of true authority I've ever seen in film.

00:46 The casting and the makeup/hairdressing done for Elizabeth I’s ladies-in-waiting was next level! They look as if they stepped right out of a 16th Century painting!
Those are the same actresses that played the ladies-in-waiting to Judi Dench as queen Victoria in "Mrs Brown" the year before: Georgie Glen and Catherine O'Donnell
I don’t care what anyone says, whether it was a make-up win or not, I think this was the best role for Dench to get her Oscar. She ate it up and wiped the floor with everyone else in the scene.
The Queen's two ladies-in-waiting were played by the same actresses who portrayed Queen Victoria's (Judi Dench again) ladies-in-waiting in "Mrs. Brown," a few years prior to this film, and by the same director.
Just gorgeous, gorgeous clip. Judi at her best. Her dialogue sharp and cutting. A good film - but a great 5 minute clip, dominated by a supreme actor of film and stage. Love her !
In time, even Elizabeth loved the idea of plays. Originally, stage productions were considered the work of the Devil, so theatre had a rough start in England, but the Queen ended up frequenting the theatre. She ended up finding respect and admiration for Shakespeare himself. The greatest playwright we will ever know.
The queen most certainly did not attend public theatre performances, theatre companies such as the lord chamberlains men would go to court and give (relatively) private performances
@@beatricesanfilippo6925 He was a terrible person period. Not just to his two daughters but to all his six wives, his advisors, noblemen and subordinates. And many thousands were executed and killed during his reign.
@@samosullivan1744 Well, historical accounts say that his dying wish was that his son Edward would succeed him as king, but if Edward never had offspring of his own before dying then his oldest daughter Mary would be queen, and if Mary never had offspring and died then Elizabeth would become queen. In other words he worried his sickly son would never reach adulthood so he wanted to ensure his offspring ruled at any rate. As much as Henry VIII fought for his children and they all ruled in succession none of them ever had children of their own and the Tudor dynasty ended with Elizabeth's death. I also wouldn't say he was *that* terrible to his daughters because both of them received expensive and thorough education by the finest tutors at the time.
“…But I know something of a woman in a man’s profession. Yes, by God, I do know about that!” - That was EPIC. It was as plain as day that Elizabeth was referring to her very own self - in that patriarchal misogynistic era, the common belief was that only men could rule, and yet, there she was, a RULING Queen in her own right, with neither husband, nor children, nor any need for either of those.
What? She needed children of her own. Her line died out with her. In the end the son of Queen Mary of Scots became the next king, the queen she had executed, the queen who like her sister, Mary the first ever Queen, was not afraid to get married and have kids. She went the safe route by never marrying, so she could be sure no man would rule after her death, or worse adopt her land through marriage.
She wàs very wise, and I believe happy. She didn't want to be a toy in one 's hand, to see her children killed, or hidden in Tower or any other disaster. She reined for half century if I am not mistaken rather peacefully and fortunately for English people, without wars and over expenditures.@@markusnashorn1145
@@herondelatorre4023 Helen Mirren is an excellent actress and she did a good job but in my opinion, Glenda Jackson was still the best Elizabeth 1 from her youth to her old age.
When I first saw the movie, I thought the Queen was simply scolding Mr. Tilney for using her name too much. But now I see that he was actually misusing it. He was alright as long as he invoked the name as the source of his authority, but the last time he did it, he was actually using it to express his own wishes, prompting the snappy reaction from Elizabeth. He knows he overstepped his boundaries, and that's why he is cowering.

The sheer genius that is Judi Dench's performance! Dame Judi is a world treasure. The movie is one of my favorites, to be re-experienced at least once a year.
What *I* love about the 'eager boy' is that he's Johnny Webster...who grows up to write *incredibly gory* plays such as "The Duchess of Malfi." "Shakespeare in Love" has so many inside jokes & sly allusions, but this fictitious portrayal of the very real Webster is one of my favourites. (And who can say whether the real Webster was or was not a sly, conniving, sadistic child?)
In "Shakespeare in Love," Judi Dench gives a memorable performance as Queen Elizabeth I. Despite her limited screen time, Dench exudes power and charisma in the role, commanding the attention of the audience whenever she appears on-screen. Her portrayal of the iconic monarch is both regal and sharp-witted, capturing the essence of the formidable queen. One of the most striking aspects of Dench's performance is her ability to convey the complexities of Queen Elizabeth's character. She balances the queen's authoritative demeanor with moments of vulnerability and humanity, revealing the inner struggles and insecurities that lie beneath the facade of royal grandeur. Dench brings depth and nuance to the character, painting a portrait of a woman who is both a powerful ruler and a vulnerable human being. Dench's portrayal of Queen Elizabeth is also marked by her impeccable delivery of Shakespearean dialogue. As a veteran of the stage, Dench brings a commanding presence to her performance, infusing her lines with a poetic rhythm and
What I love about this scene--in addition to Dame Judi Dench, you know, absolutely knocking it out of the park--is that it shows that Queen Elizabeth knew EVERYTHING that was going on for the entire movie (Viola and Shakespeare having a relationship--"She's been plucked since I saw her last...and not by you"--Shakespeare being in disguise to make the wager, that Viola is a woman, etc.) and ties it all up as best she can with a few declarations. Just plain badass!
Thank you for the correction. I met her at an Academy Awards party in the early 2000's ands when asked what shall we call you and she answered "Just Judi of course."@@pedanticradiator Now I have to go look up the year.
I disregarded this film as another romance I didn't care for. When this film came out I was into dark action and deep drama. But I hated love. Met my future husband not too long after this movie came and went. 2 years later we met and dated. He had this on VHS. And invited me to watch it with him. Changed my perspective entirely. We feel in love. 15 years and strong.
The night my friends and I went to see this movie, the girl friend I was setting up with a guy friend fell asleep on his shoulder and that was their first spark. They got married the year after and are still very much in love these days ❤️

Judy Dench is one of the best actors ever !! She is just by far the best !! Any movie with her and I just know the acting will be perfection ! Oh such a talent such a gift from above
From the first time I watched this movie until now it has passed 24 years. And it feels oh so different now! All because I watched a Shakespeare play at The Globe Theater in 2015.
“How to Completely Dominate a Movie in Less Than Five Minutes” by Dame Judy Dench.
a consolation Oscar for losing in "Mrs. Brown" the previous year
Character is something that dominates here - not Dame Judy but she is still great
Reminds me of Max Von Sydow's commanding 5-minute scene in Conan The Barbarian. There's no small roles, only small actors.

She's just brilliant, love her ,she loves trees ❤❤❤❤
Dame Judy absolutely stole the show. She promoted this lovely film from good to great.
That lady-in-waiting is a dead ringer for Betty Davis as Elizabeth !
She is fantastic like always 👌
From start to finish this whole video killed me! 😭😭😭✨✨✨ the excessive yelling to the sassy “too late too late.”
Judy Dench is one of the best actors ever !! She is just by far the best !! Any movie with her and I just know the acting will be perfection ! Oh such a talent such a gift from above
A real noble Dame. In films and in real life. Merry Christmas, Dame Judy. Cheers from Hamburg/Germany
I will always love "too late...too late"
Dame Judy Dench owns all the stages she walks on .
She does. I saw her on stage many years ago, she was mesmerizing.
@@Silver_Owl Lucky you .
@@bigbob1699 Yeah, I treasure the memory. She was playing Mother Courage, with Zoe Wanamaker, another great actress, as her daughter.
From the first time I watched this movie until now it has passed 24 years. And it feels oh so different now! All because I watched a Shakespeare play at The Globe Theater in 2015.
What a performance! Bravo...!!!
Have a care with my name, you will wear it out
Great lines
best movioe ever.
She is regal ♡
Absolutely adore Dame Judi Dench. Reminds me so much of my grandmother
I love Gwyneth's acting. She's so great as Viola. So moving. She deserved her oscar. No matter what they say...
The worst win of all times. Fernanda Montenegro should' ve won it. Second in line Cate Blanchett
0:29 "That woman is a woman!" 👏😆
She later portrayed Queen Victoria in 2017 film Victoria and Abdul
Pivotal movie in a pivotal moment in time. It saw 1998 out and did well into 1999. Seems like only yesterday that this was a huge hit.
Ever since I saw this movie when I was a teen, I thought Dame Judi Dench as Elizabeth I was the best part(s) of the movie. Phenomenal.
My my, her costume is outstanding
Dame Judy Dench is a precious gem indeed.
Great actors
"I liked it when she stabbed herself, Your Majesty." Then note the sly slice of a smile on her face.
I like to think she's thinking, "Kids these days..."
John Webster would grow up to write very bloody plays.
Bravo 👏🏽
