The Crown - Season 02 [DVD]

Lovely series, great acting, wonderful music. Wonder what this fascination is with the royal family, I just don't know but so glad these dvds are available. Clare Foy is amazing. Love the stories. Great to buy

After watching the ten episodes here one really felt that Claire Foy was herself Her Majesty, as she played the Queen better than the Queen herself does. It's a lush production; with many quips, insights, worries, angst für etwas, and the decidedly long trip into ersatz history. And again, it's not really invention even if many of the characters wouldn't settle into Windsor or Buckingham Palace all that well. Once it was once said that telling the story is the best thing, but not the truth. Another saying tell the truth and you won't believe the story. Why should the truth spoil a good story and vice versa? Foy then really buckles the belt in this production. It's great television from Sony. But don't take my word for it. Though all I can say is Watch it.

Brilliant TV series

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Season 2 of The Crown continues to captivate with stunning performances, lavish production, and gripping storytelling. The DVD quality is excellent, and every episode dives deeper into the complexities of royal life. A must-have for fans of historical drama.

I thought the Royal family were emotionally cold and cut off from their feelings. This film confirmed my suspicions. They inherited the negative attitude towards children from the upper class Victorians (who hated children). So, instead of questioning these attitudes, they chose to continue the misery by sending Charles, Anne, Andrew and Edward to a private school near Elgin. Hopefully, this film will highlight the problem of "privileged abandonment and normalised neglect" which the private schools promote. The idea that we have to look up to these people are paragons of morality is mistaken. They are just as flawed as the rest of us. On the more positive side, really good acting, so well done to all actors concerned. It did help me to understand what life was like in those times. I think they'd be much happier if they didn t have to be different from the rest of us.

THE CROWN 2 works so well because it focuses so tellingly on the tensions behind the glamorous facade. Here, often movingly, is a young Queen still finding her way - stability surely so important after the world recently came so close to tearing itself apart (several monarchies toppled in the process). With insight, the spotlight dwells on crises that pose such a threat. Just as Albert with Victoria, Philip initially feels straitjacketed by protocol - fiercely resenting being regarded by the Establishment as a foreign outsider. Here is a marriage seemingly coming apart, rumours beginning to circulate. Adding to problems are sister Margaret's increasingly erratic lifestyle, Prime Minister Eden's disastrous Suez policy causing Britain's standing in the world to plummet. Not helping at all are the Queen's stuffy speech writers causing her to utter platitudes totally divorced from reality - a much more personal approach long overdue. So much else besides - including major cover-ups of the Duke of Windsor's Nazi links, certain key Royals suspected of involvement in major sex scandals. No happy ever aftering here, but much to provoke thought. Historical accuracy has occasionally been questioned. However much that may be so, THE CROWN may well encourage even greater respect for an institution that, despite all its faults, does help create stability in a world crying out for some. The Queen, herself, a major reason why this is so. Ten hour long episodes. No expense spared, but arguably more impact made by emphasis on the human aspects. Claire Foy and Matt Smith have justifiably been acclaimed for their portrayals of Elizabeth and Philip. Acting is generally impressive (although some could look more like the people they portray). Interesting bonuses about Royal Etiquette + the horses and dogs in whose company the Queen may well be most at ease.

This film series is excellent entertainment. If it is near the actual history of what occurred within the Royal Family then it shows the Queen as an excellent monarch doing the best job she could despite those who surround her. We are very fortunate to have such a head of state. Really looking forward to series 3 although it will be a completely different caste unfortunately.

I brought this DVD for my Mum for Mother's Day with a couple of other DVD for myself, my mum was very surprised as she did not that she was getting this for Mother's Day as she has wanted it ever since she finished watching the first session. The delivery was very good and I did not have to wait very long for it to turn up as I have got prime so was able to order it on the Friday and it arrived on the Saturday whilst I was working. So was pleased as i was able to give it to her on the Sunday and did not have to get an alternative whilst i waited for the packages to turn up.

Zou deze DVD box die ik al op 18 november bestelde nu wel eens graag willen ontvangen.

Brilliant, stylish and inspiring!
