The Queen

0 I rented this DVD the other day and thoroughly enjoyed the entire film. I understand that while the writers didn't have direct access to the royals to get their feelings, they did have access to many people who would be "in the know" and can be trusted. I'm particularly interested in what our British cousins think of the film. IMDb reports that Betty Windsor refuses to watch a film about the worst week of her life. 0-

0I found the movie very interesting. I admit it can be a bit boring sometimes, but it's a very good picture of British society and I found the style it was directed very truthful and able to express Bristish costumes.02br

00I wrote that it is diffcult to understand for people who are not from Great Britain, because I was told by someone that he couldn't believe that the behaviour of the royal family was so cold and detached all the time. He found he untruthful. 02br

0 There is a curious belief that keeping your emotions to your self and your family is being cold and unfeeling. I do not believe that. It is quite possible to feel deeply distressed and at the same time prefer not to go wailing around, spilling all your emotions out. In fact, thoser who are most emotional in their behaviour can also be the more shallow in their feelings.0-
