To affirm his memory alive, Victoria had his clothes laid out every twenty-four hour period until she died at the age of 81. She was the longest reigning British monarch to this daytime In my opinion the movie was amazing and told the story of Queen Victoria perfectly. From the title and movie poster I ga thered that the movie would be about Queen Victoria as a teen. The movie was record 108 years after the death of Queen Victoria. Even though there was a huge time gap, the director said in an call into question I tried to keep the movie as historically uncoiled as possible. I bet he was very successful after(prenominal) I saw t he movie I read articles online about the veritable Queen Victoria and I felt like I was notice the movie all over again. I thought the movie was skilful because when I was watching, it didnt feel like I was watching a boring history movie. I was intrigued by the historical storyline worm with a backdrop of romance, mystery, and a bit of action. The movie was very hearty written. If the goal of the director was to tell a compelling tale of the curb of Queen Victoria, then he achieved his goal without a doubt. I frankly cant speak up of anything I would do to improve the movie.I think that they captured who Victoria really was and fit as much as they possibly could into the 105 minutes of the movie. I would recommend the movie to anyone. I think the World History themes that are best illustrated in the movie are Empire Building, and business office Authority. The Empire building theme applies because this movie in a way is about Queen Victoria starting a new empire when sh e took the throne. She had to handle all of the government and she had no train. She plant new people, for different political roles and began to build her own empire.The theme Power and Authority is the more dominant theme. The whole movie is about her come up to power and how people tried to take it away from her. People much(prenominal) as Sir Convoy and Melbourne tried to take advantage of her and get her to hall her power over to them. But since she was very strong-willed she refused. She knew she had lowly training but she wanted to be the only one in power The introduction of the movie was a voice over from Victoria while showing her as a Baby as a little girl. It shows how she first discovered that she was the sole heir to the throne. She had an uncle he didnt have ny children. She talks about how her life was far from normal and how even though she lived in a castle, she felt trapped. The moral of the story was to stay true to yourself and to not let people control y ou. The movie did very tumesce with the public and received many accolades. It earned a worldwide perfect(a) of $27,409,889. It also received 3 nominations for Oscars regarding the togs and art design. It won an Oscar for best costume design. The movie was propose for many British Awards. Emily Blunt was also nominated for Best Actress at the Golden Globes. The film was very sucessful
