VHS Movie Reviews of Lady Jane
Movie Review: Sweet movie
Summary: 3 Stars
Lovely movie, wonderful acting, but the the love story between Lady Jane and Guilford is not historically correct. If your looking for a love story and just a little history, hollywood style, this is a good movie. Movie Review: Lady Jane
Summary: 5 Stars
Lovely story with a fairytale style theme. It was a different look at what could have been in times where love was not the norm for people in the Tudor era. Movie Review: When Shillings Were Made of Silver
Summary: 4 Stars
Lady Jane (Helena Bonham Carter) has grown up around royalty, but she secludes herself from her family and reads. Her family takes it upon themselves to conjure up power for their daughter and for themselves. They arrange a marriage for her to the wayward son of a Duke, Guilford Dudley (Cary Elwes). When the sick king dies, it is arranged that Jane will become queen because of her Protestant faith. History has shown that religion is always grounds for conflict, and this instance is no different. To make matters worse, Jane and her husband begin disobeying the wishes of their court and work to make the poor happier.
This historical film has a beautiful love story, even if it isn't accurate. The relationship between Jane and Guilford is shown as it develops so it seems realistic and is all the more emotional when the lovers are separated. True, I could have done without some of the swelling music and the sunset close-up, but in spite of these overused gimmicks, the romance turned out very well. It is the core of the film.
Movie Review: Lady Jane
Summary: 3 Stars
A little slow in the beginning. Sometimes child like. Better at the end.Movie Review: Good Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a really good movie. The scenery and costumes were stunningly beautiful. Having read books about Lady Jane, I do not believe this movie to be entirely historically accurate,(especially the passion that Jane and Guilford shared in marriage - which contradicts most of what I have read about their relationship), but it was still entertaining. The ending was very moving and sad, but Jane stayed true to her Christian beliefs and lost her head over it. I would definitely recommend watching this movie!
Summary of Lady Jane
"I foresee a glittering future for your daughter," the conspiratorial Duke of Northumberland insidiously whispers to the mother of Lady Jane Grey, the woman who would be England's queen, albeit for only nine days. The same could be said for Helena Bonham Carter, who, in her screen debut, carries this historical drama with aplomb. Jane, a principled and precocious 15-year-old (she reads Plato in Greek) was a pawn in a plot to maintain Protestant rule in the wake of young King Edward's death. A dashing Cary Elwes, anticipating his swashbuckling role in The Princess Bride, costars as Northumberland's feckless, wastrel son, Guilford, whose arranged marriage to Jane unexpectedly blossoms into love and rebellion. Anglophiles will bask in this impeccably mounted production (featuring Patrick Stewart as Jane's bullying father), but swooning teens, too, may embrace these young lovers as did the youths who made Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 Romeo & Juliet a box-office smash in its day. --Donald LiebensonDrama Video
