overall and i think it a very nice movie i hate to use the word nice a it rather dry but it be very beautiful to look at and the central performance by rupert friend and emily blunt be very strong . what i like most be that despite the gleam aesthetic of the costume and the setting and all gild and shiny and this aspect never take over the heart of the film which be good and strong writing ( thank you julian fellowes representd ) while nothing too flamboyant or saturate with pomp and i. e not sensationalised greatly ( when victoria be drag out of bed to be inform she be now queen and well you couldn not get a less glamorous hand over of the crown ) . it be pace gently and every line in the film hold it worth . undoubtedly the portrayal of the love between victoria and albert and though somewhat fairytale ish on the face it and be in fact a slow burning candle and friend and blunt do well to show how effortlessly these two people fit together despite the union be initially arrange ( my fave bit be when they come home after hunt and victoria simply hug her new husband from behind while so much say without any word and that what film be all about ) . blunt hold her own beautifully as well and she have a face that demand your attention and i can not not mention the costume that she wear every one simply gorgeous . if i be blunt i would have trouble part with any of them . the rest of the ensemble cast all play their role well and harriet walter a queen adelaide be a highlight . the only qualm i have and be that it lack a sense of urgency and or an event that could have make the movie a little more exciting . ( it be rather tame ) i do not know and i want omething to happen that would have victoria draw out some strength and prove her worth a little more . when she and albert argued and i love it and i could have do with some more pivotal dramatic moment and though that may be just me . lastly and at the risk of sound all patriotic and it do renew a sort of pride and awe in the crown and what it take to be in such a position and especially in one so young . this may be in part to the fact that this film snap shot of victoria young life be immediately apt to what i have be write for one character of mine in the sword and the scion but nevertheless and it do flag up those feeling ( for those following my book and can you guess what character victoria so aptly reflect . ) it might have be in part to the film display how ridiculous the government be back in those time a they do not seem to give two hoot about the poor and dispossess of the nation and which only in turn renews appreciation that queen victoria and prince albert be so active in this domestic domain . it make the government appear rather useless nothing much have change then i suppose . blog on film and book represent http represent or or sempergratis . blogspot . com .
