Elizabeth (1998)
Made me want to learn more
I watched the beginning of this movie on TV and it really made me interested in Queen Elizabeth. Then I went and checked out the book "The Life of Elizabeth" by Alison Weir and was totally intrigued. The life of Elizabeth I was extremely fascinating and learning about all the people around her and everything was great. Then I rented the movie and watched it all the way through and was pretty disappointed. There were some characters who were featured prominently that were not actually that prominent in her life and some that were left out that would have been more interesting to see. I loved the acting, but in many parts it seemed confusing trying to keep track of who the people were. If you are doing a report on Queen Elizabeth then this isn't what you should watch. It's an alright movie, but not very strict to the facts.
Newsies (1992)
An Addictive Musical In Classic Form
I saw this movie when it first came out and have not quit watching it since. The story is one of boys who sell newspapers on the streets of New York that are disadvantaged and are being further mistreated by the people in power. The songs are great, the dancing is carried out in the way it should be, and the acting is wonderful! Christian Bale and David Moscow are two seemingly unknowns who pull off great performances in all areas(singing, acting, dancing). Then there are greater known actors such as Bill Pullman and Ann-Margaret who are great in everything they do. The whole movie reminds me of all the musicals that I have watched my whole life. I will keep watching it and keep "carrying the banner" with as many people as I know!
