COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Historical Political Epics submitted by Meginator on July 19, 2019, 7:40am Content Warning: Both of these films include scenes implying instances of rape.
Both of these films are grand historical epics in the grand Hollywood tradition, and each offers a relatively straightforward interpretation of the main characters’ lives at the pinnacle of Tudor-era English politics. “Anne of the Thousand Days” lacks intrigue, perhaps, but the costumes and sets are exquisite; the actors do their best with the lackluster script and the production is high-quality if not particularly entertaining form a modern perspective. “Mary, Queen of Scots” is far more interesting, diving headfirst into the complex web of political, personal, and religious conflicts that occurred in the wake of the English Reformation. The performances are fantastic, although the script strangely features Queen Elizabeth I more than Mary, particularly in the beginning; it takes quite a while for Mary to exert influence over her own life. Both of these films show some signs of their age in their treatment of the female protagonists and in the acting style, but each holds up fairly well overall.
