Historical background

In 1558, Philip II of Spain’s second wife, Mary I of England – “Bloody” Mary – died. They had wed in July 1554, a year after Mary’s accession to the English throne, but the English Parliament had refused to crown him jointly with Mary so he had little power in England.[3] On Mary’s death he had then tried unsuccessfully to persuade her sister and successor, Elizabeth, to marry him, but she would not agree.

Plot synopsis

The film opens in 1585; Roman Catholic Spain is the most powerful country in Europe, with King Philip II on the throne. Seeing Protestant England as a threat, and in retaliation for English piracy of Spanish treasure ships from the Americas, Philip intends to make war on his long-time enemy. He plans to take over the land that is now England and add it to what is already Spain, making his daughter Isabella Queen of England.

Blanchett portrays Elizabeth I of England in Elizabeth: The Golden Age

Meanwhile, in England, Elizabeth (Cate Blanchett) is still being pressured to marry by her advisor, Francis Walsingham (Geoffrey Rush). She is aging in years (she was actually born in 1533) and, with no child, the throne will pass to her next of kin, her cousin once removed Mary, Queen of Scots (Samantha Morton). The Queen is presented with many portraits of crowned heads of Europe and princes; these include Ivan the Terrible, Erik of Sweden, Charles II of Austria, the Archduke of Austria and a French prince. As always, Elizabeth refuses to take someone's hand in marriage, particularly that of the young Austrian archduke who has become infatuated with the Queen.

Walter Raleigh (Clive Owen) is presented at Elizabeth's court, having returned from the New World, and offers her some of the New World's riches: potatoes, tobacco, and two Native Americans. Raleigh also offers her gold from Spanish ships that he ironically claims were unable to continue their journey, but the Spanish ambassador present protests that Raleigh is a pirate and should not be welcomed. Elizabeth commands the Native Americans be treated well, and refuses to accept the gold.

Elizabeth quickly finds Raleigh attractive. She becomes enamoured with his tales of exploration and high-seas adventure and asks Elizabeth Throckmorton (Abbie Cornish) (nicknamed Bess), her most favoured lady-in-waiting, to observe him. Bess also finds Raleigh an attractive man and secretly begins an affair with the explorer. Elizabeth meanwhile seeks guidance and advice from her astrologer, Dr. John Dee who predicts that his art shows that two empires will go to war. However, he cannot predict which will triumph over the other, leaving Elizabeth to ponder her fate and that of England.

Meanwhile, a Jesuit group in London conspires with Philip to assassinate Elizabeth and replace her on the throne with Mary, Queen of Scots in what her advisor Francis Walsingham discovers is referred to between Philip and the group as "The English Enterprise," and is known to history as the Babington Plot. Mary sends secret correspondence from Fotheringhay Castle in Northamptonshire, England, where she is imprisoned, to the Jesuits, who recruit Anthony Babington to assassinate Elizabeth.

Walsingham continues to warn Elizabeth of Spain's rising power and of the Catholic plots against her life. However she, unlike her predecessor and sister “Bloody” Mary, refuses to force her people (half of whom remain loyal to Catholicism) to share her beliefs. Even then, those conspiring against Elizabeth are being hunted and murdered, including Bess's cousin, whom she tries to protect but fails to do so. After learning of her cousin's torture and death at Walsingham's hands, Bess turns to Raleigh for comfort. The barely hidden closeness of Bess and Raleigh causes tension between Elizabeth and Raleigh to mount, testing her desire to keep him in England and increasing his desire to go back to the New World.

Walsingham's brother is a Papist who knows of the plot against Elizabeth. It is revealed, though, that Walsingham had known of the plot all along, intercepting letters, and his brother is jailed. He reveals the plot to Elizabeth, who angrily confronts the Spanish diplomats. The Spanish ambassador feigns ignorance and accuses Elizabeth of receiving Spanish gold from pirates and insinuating a sexual relationship with Raleigh. A sword fight nearly ensues between the queen's male escorts and the Spanish contingent. She throws the Spaniards out of court. Meanwhile, Philip is cutting the forests of Spain to build the Spanish Armada to invade England with his army.

Mary, Queen of Scots, writes letters condoning the plot. Anthony Babington storms into a cathedral where Elizabeth is praying and points a gun at her. Elizabeth opens her arms, seemingly fearless. He pulls the trigger, and the gun fires. It is later revealed by the traitor in the torture chamber that there was no bullet in the gun, Walsingham at first unable to discern why the gun was harmless.

Elizabeth learns of Mary's involvement, and Walsingham insists she be executed to quell any possible English Catholic revolt. Elizabeth is reluctant, but nevertheless agrees. Mary is tried for high treason, ascending the block in a blood-red dress, red being the Catholic liturgical colour for martyrs. She is beheaded on February 8, 1587. Walsingham then sees that this was part of the Jesuit's plan all-along. Philip had never intended for Mary to become queen (while Catholic, Mary was in fact more French than Scottish, being the daughter of a French queen and having been raised in France; her accession to the English throne would have benefited France, a major rival of Spain).

Rather, Philip had planned on handing the throne over to his young daughter, Isabella. Now, with Mary dead, Philip uses this to obtain approval from the Pope to go to war. Since the Pope and other Catholic leaders regarded Mary as the true Queen of England, beheading Mary constituted regicide - which they considered just cause enough to avenge her death and overthrow Elizabeth's court.

In England, Raleigh asks to leave for the New World, which Elizabeth forbids, instead knighting him and making him Captain of the Royal Guard. Bess discovers she is pregnant with Raleigh's child and after telling him the news, she pleads with him to leave. He chooses not to and the couple marry in secret. At the same time, Elizabeth awakes during a dream as the wedding is taking place. She confronts Bess a few weeks later, who confesses that she is indeed pregnant with Raleigh's child, and that Raleigh is her husband. An enraged Elizabeth confronts her, reminding Bess that she cannot marry without royal consent. Feeling betrayed, the queen banishes Bess from court and has Raleigh imprisoned for the crime of seducing a ward of the Queen.

At the same time, Walsingham arranges for his brother, William, who is eleven years Francis' junior, to be released and taken to for France on the condition that he must never return to England.

The Spanish Armada begins its approach up the English Channel, and Elizabeth forgives Bess and sets Raleigh free to join Sir Francis Drake in the attack on the Armada. Elizabeth gives her Speech to the Troops at Tilbury seated on a war horse wearing full plate armour. The Spanish ships vastly outnumber England's, and the Spanish Army outnumbers England's by 8 to 1. But at the last moment, a major storm begins to blow the Armada towards the beaches, endangering their formation and ships. They drop anchor, and the Armada becomes a sitting duck for English fire ships. Raleigh arranges for the English to set fire to five of their ships and steer them into the Armada, the English sailors abandoning ship at the last minute. Elizabeth, back at her coastal headquarters, walks out to the cliffs and watches the Spanish Armada sink in flames. Philip's plan is shattered, and the Spanish naval fleet suffers their most humiliating loss in history.

As the film ends, Elizabeth visits Walsingham on his deathbed, telling her old friend to rest. She then visits Raleigh and Bess and blesses their child, presumably Damerei. Elizabeth seemingly triumphs personally through her ordeal, again resigned to her role as the Virgin Queen and mother to the English people.

Cast

Dramatic licence

As in the first film, some of the historical facts and dates have been changed by the film-makers for artistic purposes. Responding to concerns arising from this, lead Cate Blanchett said: ‘It’s terrifying that we are growing up with this very illiterate bunch of children, who are somehow being taught that film is fact, when in fact it’s invention. Hopefully though an historical film will inspire people to go and read about the history. But in the end it is a work of history and selection.’[4] The changes include the following:

  • William Cecil, Elizabeth's most trusted adviser throughout her reign, is omitted altogether. There is no mention of Robert Dudley, Sir Robert Cecil, or Robert Devereux, all of whom were more significant in the latter part of Elizabeth's reign than Raleigh.
  • The film depicts Elizabeth as enlightened towards her Catholic subjects, vehemently rejecting an advice to embark on persecuting them. However, while Elizabeth in general did not persecute Catholic lay people, Catholic priests could be hanged, drawn and quartered simply for being such. Since Catholic worship completely depends upon a duly consecrated priest offciating, English Catholics were in effect denied the practice of their religion. The Elizabethan regime was, however, less severe than that faced by Protestants during the reign of Mary.
  • In 1588 Infanta Isabel of Spain is depicted as a child. In reality she was 21 by this time.
  • In 1585 Elizabeth was 52. The film shows various suitors being presented to the queen, with a view to marriage and children. These scenes presented actually took place much earlier in her reign. Erik of Sweden abandoned his proposals to marry Elizabeth after his trip to England was interrupted by the death of his father in 1560, when Elizabeth was 27. In reality, Erik married in 1567 and died in 1577. Ivan the Terrible had also died by 1585.
  • The portrait of Ivan the Terrible presented to the queen, was actually painted by Viktor Vasnetsov in 1897.
  • Sir Francis Walsingham was only a year older than the queen. His brother in the film, William Walsingham, is fictitious.
  • The movie has the Queen rallying her troops at Tilbury astride a white steed in full armor with a sword, when in fact she rode side saddle, carrying a baton.
  • Elizabeth had brown eyes (contemporary portraits show her to have had the deep amber brown eyes of her mother) and Bess Throckmorton had blue eyes, the reverse of the actresses portraying them in the film.[5]
  • Near the start of the film, Elizabeth and her attendants are seen passing under the famous Bridge of Sighs of St John's College, Cambridge, despite the fact that the crossing was not constructed until 1831.
  • The film places Fotheringay Castle at the centre of a loch, overlooked by the Scottish Highlands. Fotheringhay is actually a village situated in a very flat part of Northamptonshire in central England. Speaking to the Northants Evening Telegraph, the film’s historical adviser, Justin Pollard, ‘denied it glosses over the county’s role in the story’, saying ‘it was because Fotheringhay castle no longer exists’.[6] The castle shown in the film is Eilean Donan, which may be reminiscent of Lochleven Castle, where Mary had been held many years before.
  • The Jesuit conspirator played by Rhys Ifans is given the fictional name of Robert Reston (compare the name similarity to Robert Parsons). He is loosely modelled on John Ballard, who went under several different aliases, and whose character, played by Daniel Craig, was disposed of in the previous film.
  • In the film, when a young man who has been tortured is then hanged, the method of hanging is the "Long Drop" method, where the force of the fall coupled with a specific knot breaks the neck of the victim. This method of hanging was not invented until the 19th century by William Marwood.
  • In the film, Elizabeth is confronted at the altar of Old St Paul's Cathedral by Anthony Babington, who is armed only (but unknowingly) with a pistol charged with powder but no shot. The real Babington Plot against the Queen was thwarted while it was still being planned.
  • Bess Throckmorton's pregnancy, which led to her secret marriage to Sir Walter Raleigh and the birth of their son Damerei, actually occurred in the summer of 1591, some three years after the Spanish Armada, not immediately before. Shortly after its birth, the baby was relegated to a wet nurse and presumably died soon thereafter.
  • The English battle fleet was not 'out-gunned' by the Armada, as Howard is made to claim at a crisis point in the film.
  • Several flintlock pistols are used in the movie, most notably in the attempted assassination of Elizabeth. These were not invented until around 1630. They would have used matchlock pistols.

Critical reception

Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian, gave the film 1 star out of 5, remarking on the film's historical revisionism and melodrama. He writes: "Where Kapur's first Elizabeth was cool, cerebral, fascinatingly concerned with complex plotting, the new movie is pitched at the level of a Jean Plaidy romantic novel."[7]

The film received generally negative to mixed reviews from U.S. critics. As of November 24, 2007 on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, 34% of critics gave the film positive reviews, based on 145 reviews.[8] On Metacritic, the film had an average score of 45 out of 100, based on 32 reviews.[9]

Roger Ebert gave the film 2 1/2 stars out of 4, saying 'there are scenes where the costumes are so sumptuous, the sets so vast, the music so insistent, that we lose sight of the humans behind the dazzle of the production.' Ebert did, however, praise many of the actors' performances, particularly that of Cate Blanchett as Queen Elizabeth I. He said 'That Blanchett could appear in the same Toronto Film Festival playing Elizabeth and Bob Dylan, both splendidly, is a wonder of acting.'[10] Blanchett portrayed Bob Dylan in the film I'm Not There and was nominated for an Academy Award for her role in both movies.

Colin Covert of the Minneapolis Star Tribune gave the film 3 stars out of 4 said '... as a pseudo-historical fable, a romantic triangle and a blood-and-thunder melodrama, the film can't be faulted' and also wrote, 'This isn't historical fabrication, it's mutilation. But for all its lapses, this is probably the liveliest, most vibrant Elizabethan production since Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet.'[11] while Wesley Morris of The Boston Globe said, 'Historians might demand a little more history from "Elizabeth: The Golden Age." But soap opera loyalists could hardly ask for more soap.'[12]

Michael Gove, speaking on BBC Two's Newsnight Review, said: ‘It tells the story of England’s past in a way which someone who’s familiar with the Whig tradition of history would find, as I did, completely sympathetic. It’s amazing to see a film made now that is so patriotic ... One of the striking things about this film is that it’s almost a historical anomaly. I can’t think of a historical period film in which England and the English have been depicted heroically for the last forty or fifty years. You almost have to go back to Laurence Olivier’s Shakespeare’s Henry V in which you actually have an English king and English armies portrayed heroically.’[13]

Claims of Anti-Catholicism

The film depicts an important episode in the violent struggle between the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation that polarised European politics. Several critics claimed the film was "anti-Catholic". A British-based priest, Father Peter Malone, declared the film to be jingoistic in his review at the (Cathport website).

In the U.S. the National Catholic Register film critic Steven D. Greydanus compared it to The Da Vinci Code, and wrote: "The climax, a weakly staged destruction of the Spanish Armada, is a crescendo of church-bashing imagery: rosaries floating amid burning flotsam, inverted crucifixes sinking to the bottom of the ocean, the rows of ominous berobed clerics slinking away in defeat. Pound for pound, minute for minute, Elizabeth: The Golden Age could possibly contain more sustained church-bashing than any other film I can think of." Greydanus asked: "How is it possible that this orgy of anti-Catholicism has been all but ignored by most critics?"[14]

Stephen Whitty of the Newark Star-Ledger said: "This movie equates Catholicism with some sort of horror-movie cult, with scary close-ups of chanting monks and glinting crucifixes."[15] Colin Covert of the Minneapolis Star Tribune complained of what he saw as "ugly anti-Catholic imagery",[16] and Bob Bloom of the Lafayette Journal & Courier agreed that anti-Catholicism was one of the film's "sore points".[17]

Monsignor Mark Langham, Administrator of Westminster Cathedral, was criticised by some Roman Catholics for allowing scenes to be shot there; although praising the film as a ‘must see’, he suggested that ‘it does appear to perpetuate the myth of “killer priests”’.[18][19]

Historian Franco Cardini of the University of Florence, alleged 'the film formed part of a "concerted attack on Catholicism, the Holy See and Papism" by an alliance of atheists and "apocalyptic Christians"'.[20][21] ‘Why put out this perverse anti-Catholic propaganda today, just at the moment when we are trying desperately to revive our Western identity in the face of the Islamic threat, presumed or real?’[22]

Director Shekhar Kapur rejected this criticism of his film, saying: “It is actually very, very deeply non anti-Catholic. It is anti extreme forms of religion. At that time the church in Spain, or Philip had said that they were going to turn the whole world into a very pure form of Catholicism. So it's not anti-Catholic. It's anti an interpretation of the word of God that is singular, as against what Elizabeth's was, which was to look upon her faith as concomitant.’[23][24] ‘The fact is that the Pope ordered her execution; he said that anybody who executes or assassinates Elizabeth would find a beautiful place in the kingdom of heaven. Where else have you heard these words about Salman Khan or Salman Rushdie? That’s why I made this film, so this idea of a rift between Catholicism and Protestants does not arise. My interpretation of Elizabeth is an interpretation of greater tolerance and Philip, which is absolutely true. It’s completely true that she had this kind of feminine energy. It’s a conflict between Philip, who had no ability to encompass diversity or contradiction, and Elizabeth who had the feminine ability to do that.’[25]

Kapur extended this pluralist defence to his own approach: ‘I would describe all history as fiction and interpretation ... [A]sk any Catholic and they’ll give you a totally different aspect of history ... History has always been an interpretation ... I do believe that civilizations that don’t learn from history are civilizations that are doomed to make the same mistakes again and again, which is why this film starts with the idea of fundamentalism against tolerance. It’s not Catholic against Protestant; it’s a very fundamental form of Catholicism. It was the time of the Spanish Inquisition and against a woman whose half of her population was Protestant, half was Catholic. And there were enough bigots in her Protestant Parliament to say, “Just kill them all”, and she was constantly saying no. She was constantly on the side of tolerance. So you interpret history to tell the story that is relevant to us now.’[26]
