ザ・クイーン

今回の選んだ映画The Queen は  1997年8月31日に発生した自動車事故で ダイアナ妃 が 亡くなったという知らせが伝えられた時、  昨年崩御なされたエリザベス女王 を中心に、 ロイヤルファミリーが  どのようにふるまったのかが描かれています。頭ではなく心で感じたことを行動に移していると ダイアナ妃 が生前インタビューの中で言っていましたが、その結果伝統を重んじる ロイヤルファミリー と 確執が 生じたのではないかと思います。我々庶民には想像できない重圧で双方悩んだことは想像に難くありません。歌舞伎の猿之助さんと彼のご両親の事件がつい最近ありましたが、はたからみるときらびやかな世界も外側からは決して推し量ることのできない苦悩が、英国ロイヤルファミリーにもあるのではと思います。

英語に関しては登場人物はみな上流階級ですので、聞きやすい部類に入ると思います。
