MY FAVORITE LINE IN THE FILM.

Queen Elizabeth to Lord Wessex, informing him of his future bride: "You're a lordly fool; she's been plucked since I saw her last, and not by you. It takes a woman to know it." Judi Dench was awesome in this movie. I know some people find it ludicrous to award an eight-minute performance with an Oscar but I happen to think Dame Judi earned it.

I honestly cried at:

WILL: You will not age for me, nor fade, nor die...

I was thinking how tragic it is to lose one's love, and then I thought it would be significantly more tragic back then, because there's no way to get in touch. No phone, no mail. They truly would never hear from each other again.

What I've got in my head you can't buy, steal, or borrow. I believe in live and let live.
