Key films where actors portrayed Elizabeth
This film is a great love affair, where Shakespeare falls in
madly in love with Viola a young lady destined to be on the stage, who also
loves his work for what it is and Shakespeare can feel this. He searches for a
woman who gets him and his work and this continues to fail him until he meets
Viola and lady with true love of the theatre. However, women are banished from
theatre, so Viola disguises herself as Thomas Kent to enable her to progress
with her love of writing and poetry and to become closer to Shakespeare and his
words; this is where she is given a part as Shakespeare is clearly blown away
by her/ his work. Eventually, she is discovered by Shakespeare, where he sees
her true identity, they carry out a secret love affair and she stays disguised throughout
stage performances. They know their affair cannot end happily as she is already
married in a loveless marriage to Dour Lord Wessex and promised to him.

This film is sensual, forbidden, endearing and full of
passion throughout. I loved this film as it portrays Elizabethan time well but
with a modern twist which suits today’s audience. The passion and poetry is
outstanding and overall looks of the characters
This film is set around the time of the 16th
Century based around Shakespeare the inspiring writer who falls in love with
Viola De Lessops. This film has been modernised for the audience of today, it
works well but shows the importance of the 16th century Elizabethan
costumes, hair and make-up throughout. The use of lace, gowns, corsets, ruffs,
hats, frills, are used for the women, with the dark green, red coloured dresses
with detailed buttons and embroidery.
The directors and cast have kept the designs accurate, the men are wearing doublets, breeches, collars, Ruffs also and hats, this film gives a great feel of the era.

Viola and the other women in the film have Elizabethan hair
designs, including plaits, buns, tight curls and use of great decorations e.g.
pearls, clear stones, semi-precious stones.
Their make-up is very pale, with the use of pink cheeks and pink lips and also they used Gwyneth as the main character and she has distinctively a natural pale complexion which works well to fit the era of the film. I love how accurate and how well the make-up and hair designs work; Elizabeth I is played extremely well by Judy Dench, she is a great character throughout, stern, firm and a powerful woman.
She has elaborate clothing, including huge gowns and dresses, which are embroided with gems, pearls, rose patterns, lace and detailed buttons. She is dressed as she is the most important person in the room, which she was and it reflects in her presence and the way her hair, make-up and clothes have been put together, even though it is ideal for a modern day audience.

Her outfits have a contemporary feel because there are uses of
more vibrant mix of colours used throughout, they have kept on the same line
and design of the 16th Century however there is more glamour, glitz,
more use of distinctive gems and hair pieces which have an alternative, modern
prospectus on the theme. Overall, you can see the importance of her, she is hierarchy
and superior which reflects in her mannerisms and overall look as a queen and
this works well.

Judy Dench plays Queen Elizabeth I very well, she's stern, straight to the point, she reflects her status but her personality traits are endearing and she seems fair at the same time.
I loved the outfits, the hundreds of accessories that are dangling all over her outfits, her hair, it reflects the 16th century so well but works well for a modern day audience.
