ELIZABETH THE GOLDEN AGE FYC (FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION)
Elizabeth: The Golden Age is a historical drama film directed by Shekhar Kapur, released in 2007. This cinematic piece is a sequel to the 1998 film Elizabeth, and it continues the story of Queen Elizabeth I, played by the talented Cate Blanchett, who garnered critical acclaim for her portrayal of the iconic monarch.
This film features a notable cast, including Clive Owen, who plays the role of Sir Walter Raleigh. Raleigh is a significant figure in the exploration and colonization of the New World, and his relationship with Elizabeth adds depth and intrigue to the narrative. Clive Owen's performance captures Raleigh's charisma and ambition, as he provides a romantic angle to the queen's tumultuous reign.
The storyline of Elizabeth: The Golden Age is set during the latter part of Elizabeth I's reign, primarily addressing the threats she faced from Spain, particularly from King Philip II. The film dramatizes the political machinations and personal struggles of a woman who was the embodiment of power in a male-dominated world. It explores themes of love, betrayal, and the personal sacrifices made for the sake of the crown.
In addition to its captivating plot, the film is noted for its stunning visual composition and powerful score. The cinematography by Remi Adefarasin immerses viewers in the opulence of Elizabethan England, showcasing elaborate costumes and grand sets that reflect the era's aesthetics. The film's production design received praise for its authenticity, drawing viewers into the color and culture of the 16th century.
The music score, composed by Craig Armstrong, complements the film's emotional and dramatic undertones, enhancing pivotal scenes with an evocative soundtrack that heightens the intensity of the narrative.
Elizabeth: The Golden Age also features a stellar supporting cast, including Geoffrey Rush as Sir Francis Walsingham, Elizabeth’s advisor and spymaster, and Abbie Cornish as Bess Throckmorton, Raleigh’s love interest. Their performances contribute significantly to the film’s exploration of loyalty and treachery.
This film not only provides historical entertainment but also invites discussions about gender roles in leadership and the complexities of political alliances. Queen Elizabeth I is portrayed as a calculated strategist who must navigate the turbulent political landscape while maintaining her position of power. Her choices often reflect the struggles faced by women in leadership throughout history.
In conclusion, Elizabeth: The Golden Age is an impressive film that goes beyond mere historical retelling; it is a rich narrative that reveals the personal and political complexities of one of history's most enigmatic queens, bringing to life her struggles and triumphs. The inclusion of Clive Owen as Sir Walter Raleigh adds a powerful dynamic to the story, making it a compelling watch for audiences interested in both history and drama.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
