The Queen

The Queen is a narrative movie base on a true story. It seems revisits Britain following the death of Diana and the many things that happened in then...

On 31st August 1997 Princess Diana died in an accident in Paris. It startled all over the world. Most British people demanded for an overt display of mourning to grieve over her. But HM Elizabeth II and her family didn’t do anything and stayed inside of the palace. So public was very angry and started to oppose the royal family. It was a serious matter to the new Prime Minister Tony Blair; he knew that he must find a way to reconnect the royal family with the British public. He persuaded the Queen to mended the relationship of the royal family and the public. Finally the Queen changed her mind and held a ceremonious funeral for Diana. Altogether "The Queen" displays the conflicts between tradition and modern, royal family and common people ...

Helen Mirren acts as the queen and she has won the best actress Oscar in 2007. Stephen Frears is the director. The film has won the Golden Globe Award.
