To make room for an opinion based on a historical perspective we needed to do some research on the events of the contemporary age of the film. This research was completed successfully and we conclude that most of events are loyal to what really happened and only some of these we do not confirm but we do not deny them. We will then move on to presenting examples of both cases: There was indeed a secret relationship between Sir Walter Raleigh and Bess, as well as his hidden marriage and child that come with it; In fact, there were numerous conspiracies against Elizabeth and the Protestant England, by several agencies, for example, Mary, Queen of Scots and King Philip of Spain; The end of one of the many conspiracies resulted in the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots; After this happened the attempt invasion by the Spanish Armada with papal approval; The film also shows the principal adviser to the Queen - Sir Francis Walsingham - which also existed; Alongside this, we also have the presence of a royal alchemist - Dr. Dee. We just do not find evidence to prove the involvement of Sir Walter Raleigh and Elizabeth, which leads us to conclude that some parts were of an exaggerated in an emotional level.
Overall, we consider that the film was very well done in terms of history. The director was able to focus on the essentials for an easy historical perception of a layman on the subject, making the story very interesting and exciting. We assume that the objective of each director, when producing a film, is above all to capture the audience's attention, and in this case we think that this objective was successfully achieved.
