- The best scene of the movie "Elizabeth: The Golden Age"
Dialogue:
Elizabeth I: Ambassador? What do you know of the Enterprise of England?
Don Guerau De Spes(Ambassador): The Enterprise? Forgive me, Majesty, I'm not familiar...
Elizabeth I: Two armies landing on the coast of Sussex and... (pause) ...Norfolk. Mary Stuart is to be set free and placed on the English Throne, and I am to be assassinated. Does any of this sound familiar?
Don Guerau De Spes: I know nothing of any invasion plans...
Elizabeth I: Well, I refer to this plan as the Enterprise of England, it should more accurately be called "La Empresa de Inglaterra" because it is a Spanish plan. The plan of my one-time brother in law, your king, to attack my country.
Don Guerau De Spes: Your country? It is my country that is under attack. Your so called Piratas, your pirates attack our merchant ships daily. And you... You think we don't know where the orders come from? The whole world knows these pirates sail up the tames, all the way to your royal bed.
Elizabeth I: (Angry) You will leave my presence, sir. Go back to your rat hole! Tell Phillip I fear neither him, nor his priests, nor his armies. Tell him if he wants to shake his little fist at us. we're ready to give him such a bite, he'll wish he'd kept his hands in his pockets.
Don Guerau De Spes: You see a leaf fall and you think you nkow which way the wind blows. Well, there is a wind coming, madam, that will sweep away your pride.
Elizabeth I: (Very angry) I, TOO, CAN COMMAND THE WIND, SIR! I HAVE A HURRICANE IN ME THAT WILL STRIP SPAIN BARE IF YOU DARE TO TRY ME!
Cate Blanchett, Geoffrey Rush,Clive Owen and Samantha Morton.

From Elizabeth to Galadriel to Hela, Cate Blanchett was born to play queens.
She’s amazing
Did you listen to a word she said? She said she's not a queen, nor a monster; she's the Goddess of Death.
@@mindstone6883 guess i missed that part
She is goddess
galadriel also, technically, is not a queen.
"I, too can command the wind, sir!"
Elizabeth said calmly.
THE WAY I WAS THINKINH THIS JUST AS I SAW UR COMMENT
"DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE?!"
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Elizabeth said calmly.
Dumbledore said calmly.
They are always so calmly in the movies 😁
Jeez, maybe Shakespeare WAS Elizabeth. (Shakespeare was Shakespeare, and no one else. This is a great line, though.)
When she yells "I have a hurricane in me that will strip Spain bare if you dare to try me!" I can truly see both Henry and Anne in her...
Yes Cate Blanchett's real name was actually Cate Boleyn Tudor
@@summeroflove394no
I love her mental climbdown at the end when she realises 'I just declared war on the global superpower'. Swiftly capped with a resolve to make good on her words.
Excellent character acting.
That Tudor temper -- really just like you are hearing and seeing a child of Henry 8 !
As Elizabeth once remarked she may have the feeble body of a woman but she has a heart and stomach of a King! She told that to English troops when they were waiting to ambush the Spanish Armada if they had made it to land she went and visited them and stirred them up to fight
@@wickedwitchoftheeast88 It’s really too bad she didn’t have an heir.
As far as I remember she was none to fond of her successor.
@@FormerGovernmentHuman Neither was England. One Stuart was beheaded and other overthrown for a Dutch prince.
@@FormerGovernmentHuman
During this time of wars of religion, religion was important to the point where putting a catholic or suspected catholic on the English throne was a bit like opting to declare Vladimir Putin the president of Ukraine in 2023.
I like how they scream at each other but still say "sir" and "madam" lol
I do, too. It's like saying "I respect your opinion" before dragging someone's opinion in the dirt!
This is still done today--in the lower house of Parliament you must address another MP as a "right honourable gentleman/lady" while you're arguing with them
In the upper house you have to use "lord / lady _____" while arguing lol
i thought 'madam' was an insult because she was not married and virgin. isn't madam something you call a married lady. he called her madam thus indicating that she had sexual affairs
EDIT: Madam here is a sign of respect. I overthought things. As stated the envoy already flat out insulted her with the 'royal bed' line so no need for puns. I have realised this a long time ago but am still being corrected. Pls stop.
I think that's a leap, she's likely called Madam because royal styles on the continent weren't as exotic as English ones. To call a woman as old as Elizabeth anything else would be insulting--madam isn't just for married women, it applies to anyone woman who isn't a young adult
Class.
I love how her guard pulled his sword like, “wtf did you just say?” 😂
Like "How dareth you disrespect my queen!?"
I watched him like three times. Him looking at the spaniard, looking at Elisabeth and then "You WOT MATE?!".
He probably was a noble, but same!
The best barbs strike home because they are true. But in this time and age, you couldn't allow such things to be publicly said.
The Elizabethan version of 'hold my beer'
you can tell she is a theater actress, the voice, the presence, the power that comes from inside ,,, just the best!!!
Cate Blanchett is insanely talented. Such a force to be reckoned with. I absolutely adore her and all her movies
she's the best omgggg
She has a terrific shouting voice lol
Some people sound silly when they shout with rage, but she just sounds epic!
It's a controlled shout.
Agreed! But even better than that is how deep she can lower her voice! She spoke with that tone in the first Elizabeth movie where she tells Walsingham to get Norfolk to sign that document to have him commit treason.
“Then let him sign it, and let it all be done.”
@@marioescalante4401 Very good analogy between the two Elizabeth movies !
@@LisaMaryification I don't think it's controlled. Or at least maybe it's just me. When I'm angry, I sound more like her when I shout at people. If I'm shouting and scared, I sound shrill. It's not like I consciously change how I yell. I just lose my temper and it's that moment when you want to rip their throat out with your teeth. I can't do that, so the next best thing is yelling at them.
@@marioescalante4401 She also uses the same speaking frequency in the first Elisabeth when straightening up thing : ''I will have one mistress here , and No master ! ''
That’s why the current British monarchy call their family “Wind-sir”.
This deserves a reply. Witty.
Best answer ever! Brilliant.
Brilliantly thought.....sir!
That is so bad it is good!
That's really true, actually.
The line " Because by God, England will not fall when I am queen" and "I will not be the toy of the fate" it's marvelous too
She was robbed of the oscar that year
"What the fucketh did you sayeth!?!?!?" Dude draws sword.
😂
He said the age old Misogonyst argument
Okay, that had me actually giggle.
😭🤣🤣😭☠️
That was a gallant gesture but just gesture
Foolish let a loyal noble killed defending her "honour" nonsense
Elizabeth knew they knew too (as they must have had well paid informants in her inner circle) that however making fun of noble houses princes or kings pretending her alliance by marriage, as it was a centuries long business until the mid XX c., she made herself a pirate's slut, way beneath her station and office.... while playing virgin princess to the plebes swallowing the propaganda. Not even Lady Diana would be so respected for sleeping around with polo players or muslim daddy's boys, however not anymore forced to be called to SERVE as Queen. Plebes tolerance for this sleeping with servants is not so loyal
Her command, her accent, her perfection in delivery. Hands down, Cate Blachett is the BEST ACTRESS in recent times.
I like this scene because you can really see all her classical Shakespearean stage experience with the Sydney Theatre Company coming out, especially the magnificent voice projection. I would love to see her up on stage performing a real badass Shakespearean role such as Lady Macbeth - I reckon she'd be brilliant.
Cate Blanchett like Benny Hill.
You do her injustice by proclaiming her to be "the best", because all you do is invite people to contest your claim with their own favorite, and not appreciate what you say.
the visionary/ joseph manno i agree that it seems to be part of human nature to proclaim something the GOAT, but acting is art...so it is puzzling to me because you can enjoy many different artists who are great in their own unique ways without denigrating others... but i guess i get it, its just one of those things humans continually don't leave behind or outgrow, at least not yet.. and i guess its kind of almost a figure of speech at this point, like "pizza is the best! i love pizza!" so you could take that as the idea of the best and of love being watered so far down, but really...you don't actually mean it like that, so whatever i think were overanalyzing this..
but i just wanted to say the work that went into each costume, set design, etc, and her performance was great! it was... the best ever! lol just kidding..i havent even seen every movie ever made so who could really say that if you think about it, but whatever she was great, i admire her talent and she must've spent so much time preparing for this .. or she's just a natural talent...
I love the way he exits at 1:38, that little look down at Elizabeth is just so full of sass 😂
The only thing missing was an extra twirl and snap of the fingers as he turned.
@@roddo1955 😂😂😂😂😂
LOL. A true Spaniard.
This entire scene still gives chills and tears welling up. The threatening utterly believable acting from the incredible actor William Houston as “Don Guerau De Spes” is terrifying. Blanchette’s delivery is intense and stunningly delivered as usual.
I think they picked the ugliest man they could find to play the Spanish ambassador. I've seen better looking chimpanzees.
Cate Blanchetts performance is absolutely superb, and that actor playing the Spanish ambassador did a really good job, the way he bowed to her in a shady way after threatening her was epic ..
The way he says "Madame" and his bow and then dismissively turning his back and walking out and ignoring her shouting at him.
@@Beppo85 epic
@@Beppo85 Yes. I rewinded a few times to see him say Madame
the shady bow 😂
He was lucky that England wasn''t...Sparta!
"I TOO can command the wind, sir! I have a hurricane in me that will strip Spain bare if you dare to try me!"
Elizabeth 1st was a bad ass, just like her Dad 😁
Yep that's what she said we all heard it too
@@nothingtoospiffy7913 personnally i am a non native speaker and i must say i do enjoy (appreciate) when someone writes the text of a powerful line.
@@celinee.9562 so you can read it but not understand it being spoken? That's kind of weird but okay
And she did just that oh! Victory as its best
Cate Blanchett should've won the Oscar for this role.
She was nominated not once but *twice* for this role, and the only woman nominated two different times for the same character.
Cate Blanchett is such an amazing actress. She has this way of potraying power that is just unquestionable, from Galadriel, to Hela, to Elizabeth. You are left with such a strong certainty that they are not to be toyed with, and that is not something just any actor can do
Henry's temper + Anne's temper= YOU SHOULD RUN !
Well they should run, after calling the Virgin Queen a whore, not directly but that's what they were implying.
+Daniel Ray Domani what the hell are you implying?
Elisabeth I was lesbian...opss
BlessedAngelDiamond HELL YES! Total QUEEN 👑 👑 👑 👑
like one of those penultimate boss fights before you fight Jesus himself.
You can literally feel the fury of Britain coming out of her mouth.
The fury of bad weather I would say
@@rubencuadros7174 England's used bad weather against a lot of enemies. Battle of Agincourt. Battle of Hasting's. Battle of Culloden. Even Caesar had a nasty experience with the English natives using bad weather between storms and rain to screw with him over, losing cavalry to mud and had to flee. They made Roman invasion of England extremely expensive and unrewarding. Much like the Russians typically use the winter against enemies, England's traditionally used rain and storms to their advantage. Mud and storms are our best friends.
Traditionally, Britain's military and navy has used smaller numbers relying more on strategy than power. We're not big enough to defeat anyone if we pit brute force against brute force and never were.
@bob saget LOL.
Simon Eubanks - it’s called Anglo supremacy
@bob saget We love you too. 😘😘
This is one of my favorite movies scenes of all time. The power behind Elizabeth's words even as it conveys a bit of fear and uncertainty is unmistakable
There's no other that could play her as well as Cate Blanchett. Wow what an actress!
Charlize Theron
@@TowerofAboveandBelow I'm a huge fan of hers, but I disagree.
Anne Marie Duff played her brilliantly, look it up The Virgin Queen its on you tube
@@TowerofAboveandBelow
Joke
Margot was pretty good as Elizabeth in Mary Queen of Scots
"Tell him if he wants to shake his little fist at us, we're ready to give him such a bite he'll wish he'd kept his hands in his pockets!"
Goosebumps.
setheurovision94 nerd mode on: there were no pockets in trousers that time, so the sentence makes no sense
It could also refer to a purse, like for coins or belongings.
@@novoeduardoac1248 uM, yes, there were. They had little purse like belt-pockets on both side of the waist underneath the garments and petticoats.
@@novoeduardoac1248 The whole act is non sense. It never happened that way.
setheurovision94 I think she was talking about Trump.
Am I the only one that loves how she says "la empresa de Inglaterra"?
Nope..i love it too! she's so badass!
I love UK out of EU.
No, I loved it too.
Scotland hasn't left the EU. Also, I'm sure you're far too intelligent to judge modern times in a 16th century context.
Nope, me too! Such disdain!
1:26 Now that’s a threat.. Goosebumps when the music queues when he delivers the line.
And the way she lost composure, damn..
One of Cate's most powerful performances ever!!!
"You will leave my presence, Sir." I'm going to have to use that one!
Yeah, if you want to sound mentally deranged.
I actually used that type of comment walking down a building steps once, after an older man bumped into me then blamed me. I can't remember exactly what I said, but it was short and swift and ended in 'Sir'. He swirled around and just stared at me in surprise but respect. Still remember his expression.
Unless it’s inside your property it will not mean anything
Helen Adams
I still can’t help but prefer “get the fuck outta here!”
"Will" is what makes it better. She is not asking, she is Telling. It would be very unwise to disobey to leave ones house, as it is for any person.
Now that's what's called acting.
i actually thought she was truly mad, then i remembered it was acting
Epic! Blanchett plays an awesome scene. The words, her face expression, the veins in her neck, the muscles on her throat,... You can feel the hurricane she's talking about. Brilliant and adictive.
This is how you deliver a line about tempests if you're Galadriel. Not the other way.
She’s so majestic. I feel like I am really watching a queen speaking
If you believe in re-incarnation she literally was a queen in a number of her past lives. You just can't say those words in that way without ever being one.
That's why auditions are so important.
Thanks to fashion, any person can give a majestic aura
@@erikperhs_ nah, it's not her fashion at all. i mean honestly elizabethan fashion was tragic. it's her presence, her carriage and probably most importantly -- her voice. cate blanchett has SUCH a voice.
She literally looks like her they couldn’t of gotten a better actress she’s so talented and BEAUTIFUL
"couldn't of gotten?" O tempora, o mores!
couldn't have*
not couldn't "of"
dunruden Couldn’t have got a better actress. - learn
@@dunruden9720 Her grammar is horrible but at least she's not a pretentious, self-absorbed twit like you with your "The times! The mores!" crap. No one is impressed. You're not the only one here who is over-read and underchallenged. Good for you.
@@leomanolis8701 There's this little thing they invented. "Paint", I believe it's called.
There is a tempest in me
I love that movie. Cate Blanchett is a fantastic actress. The fury and passion she released in that scene is awesome.
Recent british monarch: Elizabeth II
Recent spanish monarch: Felipe VI
Imagine if they watching this movie together with all the royal families...awkward...
why would they watch a movie about Spain and England HAVING PROBLEMS?
oh look! thats great great great great great great great great great great grand Aunt Queen Elizabeth the I!
Actually britain & spain had issue now and its Gibraltar.....the reason why queen sophia of Spain didn't attend the diamond jubilee celebration of Queen Elizabeth 2
Well theyre all related from Queen Victoria and King Christian of Denmark
@@chamariano4833 :>>>
"There is a wind coming that will sweep away your pride." - How ironic. That statement would come back to bite him.
foreshadowing
In fact, after the destruction of Armada, the Spanish prayer goes: "your mighty wind has humbled our pride..."
but what is his wind to her hurricane?
Richard Strong Like Mr Bean..
But in all fairness, England should expect a Spanish response with all that privateering. It's just that England defeated Spain's response.
God bless Cate's performance!!! Power! xXx
She is more warrior Galadriel than Warrior Galadriel is in Rings of Powah.
Is that the fake lord of the rings?
@@system3008 Yessir
Cate Blanchett is the only actress worthy of being the Lady Galadriel.
"You will leave my presence, Sir." The way she uttered that was so damn powerful! A true sovereign!
Yong Grey - Yes, true sovereign!
And with rotten theet, aparently Elisabeth I love sugar to the point that his theets were rotten and falling over.
i agree
a royal way to say get lost or fuck off LOL
And that was just the start of her rant.
"I too can command the wind, sir! I have a hurricane in me that will strip Spain bare if you dare try me! Instead of a Dark Lord, you would have a Queen, beautiful and terrible as the dawn, treacherous as the sea, stronger than the foundations of the earth! All shall love me and despair!
Martijn .. Goosebumps indeed.. Cate is a brilliant actress and as a fellow Australian we are very proud of her :-)
Wrong show. XD
Excellent juxtaposition! I hadn't thought of those two Blanchett scenes put together :-) I've also always been mesmerized and puzzled by Tolkien's use of "All shall love me and despair."
@@reed4fun I think that implies that they shall despair for she is forever out of their reach.
Wrong kingdom! 😂😂
THIS MOVIE IS A MASTERPIECE. MRS. BLANCHETT IS SUPERB. EVERYONE WAS.
Cates performance! I love her!!!!
The last part gave me chills, damn Cate Blanchett is impressive!
Katherine Donovan la emprresa de Inglaterra 😂
Juan Flores. She sure in hell whipped Phillip's ass good!😄
Watch Bette Davis.
My history professor is in this scene as a Spanish extra.
Cool! The actor who plays the Spanish Admiral sure can hold his own. They way he dips, bows and turns.
Ask your history professor what happened in La Coruña in 1589 and who went to win the war.
@@marneus Yawn and here you are again trying to alter a historical fact.
SPAIN WERE UTTERLY DEFEATED
@@rnw2739 yes, sure... And England wasn't defeated at la Coruña, not at all...
Oof
the glance up and down as she says "little fists" is just ugh. perfection
At least there isn't a tempest in her, because we all know how that went for a certain someone else.
This is why Cate Blanchett is an Academy Award winner. She should have earned it with this performance, but patience paid off. Gladly serve a Queen that had 'huevos' like these.
Alteast she has an academy award even if she did not win the role of queen elizabeth, its better than having no award with great acting
Watch her in TAR, she phenaomenal
Even today I believe that she should have won an Oscar for the First Elizabeth movie!!!
Her tone, her inflection, her accent, her timing, all pitch perfect.
Hello Lisa, how are you doing and how is the weather with you
MY GOD. Cate was just fabulous in this role. I love both of her Elizabeth movies. seen many times.
Queen Elizabeth I was a great queen at the time. She died without a child, ending the Tudor dynasty. Anne Boleyn must be so lucky to have Elizabeth as her daughter even if she didnt got to see her grow and become queen. She is truly Anne Boleyn's greatest revenge❤❤❤
Cate Blanchett, such a queen.
Middle Earth would have had a rather interesting time of it if she had taken the Ring.
"All will love me and despair . . ."
@@gavanhill5132 she did take the ring. Then tried to destroy Asgard 🤣🤣🤣
0:56 "...to your Royal' BED!" ....awkward silence... guard's confusion... KCHING! the best moment!
mmmm yes except sheaths are made from what material? What is the metal of the sword KChing-ing against??
Alas it is but a sound edited in during post production and a continuance of an age old Hollywood misnomer.
@@B61Mod12 They ring like a glass, when scrapping past the metal collar in the scabbard.
"Your will leave my presence sir. Go back to the abyss from whence you came." 😅
The best Elizabeth I ever made. Cate Blanchett really plays the role of the monarch beautifully. Loved the decor, the costumes, the film really depicts the period of Elizabeth's England. Brilliant !
Shout out to the Indian film director, Shekhar Kapur who directed this movie. He needs more recognition!!
He directed the first one also.
For what? For making a historical lie? England was defeated in that war and had to beg for peace.
@@marneus Rubbish! Spain were utterly defeated as well you know. You're pathetic pride is hurt boo hoo.... England would never stoop so low as to beg you idiots for anything...as it happened we didn't have to as we won...
I love how this movie shows the clash between an enlightened Anglo-Saxon civilization and a Catholic backwater. Somehow the first part from 98 was free of that.
@@zemstafreda You are calling England "enlightened", when they were a pirate's nest that was murdering tenths of thousands of people and believed in racial superiority, and calling "backwater" the country that was at the forefront of discoveries, that had instaurad an inherent rights of the man policy and racial equality and that build the biggest number of Universities in America??
"We all know they come up the themes to your royal bed..."
WHATDIDYOUSAYNIGGAH
Its the "Thames" not "team", the river Thames that goes right through the heart of London from the coast.
But I agree with your second statement XD As soon as he said that I was like: "Oh no you DIDN'T!"
Donovan94 Right?! I was like "...oh shit, you did NOT."
I like how nothing happened for several seconds. Everyone was trying to comprehend the fact that he had just so blatantly insulted the queen, then were like 'yeah, we should draw our swords now...'
The one guy who took the sword out was ready to whoop that ass
Up the Thames*
Cate was on her game that day.
There is a tempest in her.
Cate Blanchett is just...perfect.
This was an *OUTSTANDING* performance by Cate! *NOBODY* else has played Queen Elizabeth 1st better!✨✨✨

*FARTS*
Why did I laugh at this! Has my humor stooped so low?

That’s damned funny! 😂😂. She should have farted on him! 😂😂
bwahahahahahaha
Best one yet!
What an amazing actress .... Gave me chills .... Her voice her manner ....everything!!! True Elizabeth 1st!!!!
yeah!!! cate will always be hands down the best queen elizabeth!!!
I agree
Great performance. Blanchett's vocal style and delivery has echos of Glenda Jackson's superb performance from the 1960s 70s.
Best actress for Elizabeth. She is magnificent
I was lucky enough to attend the premier of this movie in Los Angeles. Granted it was a fluke but I was there. We were seated just a few rows back from Ms. Blanchett (who was particularly STUNNING that night). This scene got a roar of approval for the Queen from the audience. It was quickly followed by one slight female giggle from around her area, which in turn, got a laugh from most of us. We gathered she was quite pleased with how the scene played.
Wowowowowoww yahh lucky huh
Lucky lucky lucky YOU!
Damn that’s amazing!! Once in a lifetime opportunity right there 🤯
Cate has the most powerful female voice ever...Such a Queen indeed❤️❤️🙏
Incredible performance by Cate Blanchett!
Oh so this is where that Galadriel line came from
This proves it.
Never, ever piss off a redhead.
My Mother was a red head, I can only concur.
Outstanding acting Cate Blanchett. Giving her a round of applause for such a convincing roar. Well done.
“You will leave my presence, sir” chilling!!
That was a powerful delivery, that you don't see daily... One scene and you know the movie was good.
Okay but the dude at 1:01 has all my respect. He was truly prepared to end that man for his words. He heard what was said, let it register in the air and then let everyone know that he was not about to let that disrespect stand.
Yeah, the queen saved the Spaniards life.
We were robbed of another Wesley vs. Inigo duel.
@@blaydeesy2005
Their heads would’ve been sent back to Spain.
If his queen ordered it and only then-- what he was really doing was making clear that any one taking it beyond words would have to go through him, and would not live to tell about it.
he was protected by all those guards, etc. Sabre rattling, nothing more.
Chills and goose bumps when she raises her voice!
Galadriel in ROP: There is a tempest in me
One of the best scenes I have ever see!
This scene is exactly how I imagine Elizabeth I to be.
A no nonsense woman with a strong love for her country 🖤
A sociopath?
Her modern namesake and descendant was pretty damned impressive herself.
@@lilnitenurse324 I didn’t realize how much the Queen had grown on me during my life until the end. Such a constant in an ever changing world, a reminder of where we came from, who we are and what we will be.

Cate Blanchett as Gloriana, The Virgin Queen, is simply magnificent! The way she portrayed the role of HM Queen Elizabeth I gives me chills everytime I watch it.

What a legend
" everything you do against me, I can forgive; everything you do against England means instant death.." Historic statement of Elizabeth I.
Oh please she was just as awful, cruel and petty as any other king or queen that has ever lived throughout the history of humanity. The armada didn’t conquer england purely because an actual hurricane destroyed the fleet and when england tried to attack spain (which btw at the time was immensely more powerful and wealthy than england) their fleet suffered the same fate as the armada. It’s cool to enjoy these movies and romanticize the past and its characters. But ultimately it was mostly a shit show of horrendous proportions.

@@eugeniocazzo4198 So in the end she was right, she did have a hurricane in her.
@@eugeniocazzo4198 The reason Britannia rules the waves is because of Henry VIII Tudor. Without him, nothing. Not a gamble but a fact. Without England, then what of America? Some kings and queens were considered sent by God....as outrageous as that may seem to you personally, it was nonetheless believed by those who knew them and who have stood by their oath ad nauseum.
@@MasterOfTheElements yes but a hurricane of rotten farts 🤣
This is much better than The Rings of Power.
After the fiasco of the Invincible Armada, Elizabeth I wanted to take advantage of Spain's weakness to destroy its power. England, however, suffered its greatest catastrophe on the sea.
The Counter Armada: this was the greatest Spanish naval victory over England that almost nobody counts.
Of the 180 ships that had sailed to take Spain, 102 returned with many of their men infected by the plague suffered at sea and which they spread when they went ashore. Of the 27,667 men who had embarked, only 3,722 survived.
This expedition - whose losses were double those of the Invincible Armada - made it the greatest naval catastrophe in the history of England.
Damn I love this. Cate Blanchett was incredible as Elizabeth. This is indeed the best part in the movie. This and when she leads her army to war. love Elizabeth I.
The Director of this movie ,Shekhar Kapur Said in an interview that the studio wanted a Star for the role of Queen and officials were not impressed with Cate. But Shekhar literally fought with the studio for Cate ,stating he will step out of the movie if they won't cast Cate Blanchett and the rest is HISTORY..!!!
Are you referring to the 1st movie? This is a sequel of course.
@@kevinbergin9971 Yes
The rest is HERSTORY LOL.
not impressed with Cate? Where they high on some drugs?
Can be said of every film ever made. Execs are execs for a reason. Today the execs are actors like Aniston, Witherspoon & Kidman.
What a badass she was. 😍🥰
god i love cate so much easily my favorite actress
That sway or little dance @ 0:52 is perfect 👌 acting! You can see Cate was so in character as she was seething mad already in that movement before she even delivered her dialogue.
Actor who portrayed the Spanish ambassador was superb. Great delivery !
I love the bow and swirl and exit.
It was imperative that they match her with an (almost) comparable actor to make this scene work.
He nailed the walk too.
I know, the dialogue was so calm and on point
What's his name
Dear lord the difference in acting prowess between Cate Blanchett and Mighty Morbin Clark is like comparing the paper plane i made when I was 5 and an F 16.
Great Queen! Great Cate Blanchett 's performance 👏
If you've ever wondered what it would be like if Galadriel was a human instead of an elf with so much hidden power, here it is, especially since Cate Blanchett plays them both so well.
+KTChamberlain Yes, Cate Blanchett = Benny Hills
omg yeeeeesss :)))
Today they totally fucked galadriels role up.
She is soooo good!!! One of the best actress of our times!! Love her!
How she didnt win the oscar for this is one of the greatest injustices of the entertainment industry. I mean, were they threatened by her brilliance or what???
Fantastic play by William Houston who plays the Spanish ambassador. What a great line: "You see a leaf fall, and you think you know which way the wind blows...." Plus, say what you will about the Spanish, they had superior taste in clothes.
