ceebeegeeInspired by the clips I saw on the Oscars, I Netflixed Elizabeth: The Golden Age. Holy crap, Clive Owen is WHITE hot in this movie. Damn. He is amazingly hot in this--I seriously want to have his children right now. I liked Closer a lot but never saw him as particularly attractive but the combination of his tan, his tight little doublets, his piracy privateering and his all-around awesomeness--rowr.
It's a terrific movie, BTW--several sequences are breath-taking. The Spanish Armada sequence is just awesome, and there's an amazing shot of her standing on--I guess--the cliffs of Dover observing the Armada (I guess? That seems off). But the shot is incredible--in general, the mythos of the movie, the way it constructs her march toward her destiny, is wonderful, some incredible direction.
