In all fairness, they almost certainly still downplayed it quite a bit for the purpose of the film. It would have been interesting if they'd played it up a bit more for the film, especially since the film clearly takes Mary's side more than Elizabeth's. By the end of the film, Margot Robbie's Elizabeth has become rather brittle and hard in the way she behaves -- and there's something about her appearance which almost makes her appear inhuman. Saoirse Ronan's Mary, by contrast, remains luminous.

I always admire it when actresses are unafraid to look ugly, for the sake of realism. I love that Margot Robbie goes the extra mile for her roles, like in I, Tonya.

@@EzekielPrellus That was a well directed and dramatic scene with Cate's emergence as the Virgin Queen.

Just finished watching the film. It could have been a great film if the producers/writers sticked with the book to which the film was adapted. They could've followed the historical timeline of both Mary and Elizabeth.

I just got done reading about Margaret Tudor, mary’s grandmother. They both had the worst taste in men, what the hell was Their obsession with the Douglas clan? Archibald Douglas earl of Angus caused enough trouble, did Mary really think she was going to have better luck with his grandson the Earl of Darnley?

It's always presented in films that Mary was a snake or on this case a wild unruly madam who got too big for her boots and Elizabeth, meanwhile was kind and sympathised with Mary but was surrounded by evil power hungry opportunistic ♂men who were whispering poison in her left right and central.

Great acting, great scene, great cast. Historical inaccuracies aside, the direction of this film was just isn't as impactful. I was hoping it to be close to Elizabeth (Cate B version).

movies are mostly super pro elizabeth. The winner writes history, didn't you know? Mary's own counselors hated her religion and forced her out of Scotland. She was incredibly unlucky vs Elizabeth where her counselors protected her protestant country--fiercly so. They both got opposite hands. I dont agree that lizzie should've killed a fellow monarch though, that was petty AF, even james tried to stop her and europe warned her.

Way too much blue worn in this movie.

just so you know, Margot's Elizabeth plays the right looking age demeanor when Mary came back to claim Scotland. The Elizabeth played by Kate Blanchett depicts the queen's early years. Queens can show character without being loud or forceful, Margot's Elizabeth is more subdued, but I think she brings out a sort of tempered strength shown by monarchs who've ruled for years.

Um...no she didn't. Racism scarcely even existed back then, contrary to what we would automatically believe, as few ethnic minorities lived in England and there were no specific ethnic groups to target. How could people back then hate people they had never met? Elizabeth had many trusted foreign ambassadors from all over the world, of all different races, and was on good terms with the Sultan of the (then) Ottoman Empire and the Shah of Iran.

This movie is already historically innacurate for the sake of forced diversity. A black man simply wouldn't have been in Elizabeth's council.

Look at the forced representation and diversity in this scene! I don't expect historical accuracy from these things but I do expect a period drama to respect the period. Hollywood is putting modern sensibilities above aesthetic cohesion and logical casting, what a shame.

@laura p You're right, there are times when it's inappropriate, for example it's considered inappropriate seemingly when a white actor or actress plays another ethnicity, when it's the reverse like this film it's considered perfectly acceptable. When Joseph Feinnes played Micheal Jackson in a recent biopic the show didn't even air because of the controversy but here historically white individuals are swapped to black in an act of virtue signalling and tokenism that is deployed solely to appease the few extremists that desire representation in film no matter how jarring or unnecessary. Trust me, unlike Hollywood I actually respect the intelligence of ethnic minorities going to the movies, I assure you the overwhelming majority are going to be emotionally intelligent enough to know that a film set in Tudor Scotland isn't going to have ethnic diversity and additionally most would have an understanding that the film wouldn't need it, this is just the stuffy old movie trying to be 'woke' and coming across as desperate. Hollywood needs more black movies and new black characters, not the shoe-horning of ethnic minorities into historical dramas in the name of diversity.

It will never be ok for white actors to play black and you know it, just like it's not ok for black to play white, the main difference is when a black person plays a white role then that is deemed by certain spheres of thought to be 'progress.' it's a shocking double standard but at least you admit it.
