There hardly has ever been or will be a more devastating monologue. Sheer perfection.
I feel sorry for you if you think this is the most “devastating monologue” there’s ever been.
Pick up a book every once in a while.
ever heard of shakespeare? Fucking npc
@themarquis336 my God if you were any more arrogant, if you had the pretentious ass up in the air any further, you'd fall over.
No one could deliver a monolog like that better than Dame Judi Dench. Now if Dame Maggie Smith were to deliver it as the Dowager Countess in Downton Abby, all hell would have broken loose. There's nothing like a Dame.
Well I was done and I a m not a royalist. A Judi Denche fan, certainly!
“He is coloured”
The queen: Did you just trying to said the n-word without the pass to the indian?
What?
Did you just trying to wrote the sentence without the refer to the grammar?
@@finncullen Why does it upset you?
Aside from the magnificent monologue, this is a fine portrayal of how group dynamic, peer pressure and individual timidity works.
Darth Victoria: Its treason then
this is comment gold!!!
She was the greatest queen ever next to queen liz II❤
dame Judy Dench ad such power to this scene, indeed all scenes she is in.
This should have won her second Oscar award incredible
You know it's getting real when the aristocrats and the servants conspire together.
Dame Judy Dench is breathtaking and iconic!!! What an incredible scene!
If the first word out of your mouth is mommy when demanding anythong from your mother you've already lost.
It’s a posh person thing
@@him050it’s really not.
@@LaDivinaLover It really is. Posh people go with Mummy, Mamma, Daddy, and Papa. Middle class and working class people go with mother, mum and (my personal favourite) rrr'muh
@@him050 I call my parents mummy and daddy, and I'm about the furthest thing from posh. I'm a working class american with no college education.
If no one from lower families could be knights then how did the first knights even come to exist? They had to start somewhere. Likely common men who showed exceptional valor and service to the monarch and were recognized for it.
well thats the thing, its a bunch of memes
"colored"
We always re-write our history to reflect the current philosophy.
Oh shit is Bertie, Izzard?! How fucking iconic is their voice that I recognized them through all of that lmao
First: I have always loved Queen Victoria. She was an exceptional Queen and Empress and loved every aspect of her reign. Second: Dame Judy Dench is an exceptional actor and I have loved every movie she has been on ever since I can remember.
I’m obsessed with that scene
WONDERFUL movie with Judi Densch at her best!
That actually is not her name. Densch ?
As an ethnic Chinese, I grew up watching Chinese period drama. In those drama, Chinese emperors held absolutist power and could issue death sentence to anyone as they liked. The idea that courtiers and palace maids would meet in secret chambers, and "demand" that the emperors retract on their edicts is unimaginable. This only happens when there were series conspiracies to depose a monarch, which is clearly not the case in this scene. I understand that the British monarchy had traditionally been very liberal, and it became even more so as England industrialized. But had the sovereign power of the British monarchs been so eroded by the time of Queen Victoria that even the princelings can speak to their queen mother the way he did here?
Yes. And it all happened during Victoria’s reign. All of the other European kingdoms that had grand male monarchs collapsed during the revolutions of 1848, but the young girl on the throne in Britain allowed her power to be devolved to parliament progressively over the span of her reign. By the end of it, she was just a symbol and completely apolitical. Similarly, all over England, the grand houses of the aristocracy were controlled by the staff and not by the peer. The butler was smarter than the earl (e.g. Jeeves and Wooster).
European countries never really cared about monarchs, most of the people didn't care for them, and the high court only showed respect and followed them because they knew they would be in a good position of power, plus most of the laws were decided by the parliament and court and the not king was just a pawn to some
It did start that way, when the monarch had absolute power and authority. Then the devolution of the monarch's powers started when King John was forced to sign the Magna Carta
You mean you watch Qing dynasty shows? excluding dynasties such as xia, such as tang (before wuzetian) where power was divided between 上门，下门 and the emperor? Did you forget that emperor shun once said 天下非一人之天下也 (the world under heaven does not belong to one person).
@@courtly5982Honestly, those are just politically correct slogans that the rulers have to say to sound wise and benevolent. You have to look at how emperors actually behaved. Most of the emperors in China were absolutist tyrants. Even The Tang Tai Zhong had his dark side and I am sure you know about that.
Brilliant acting by Dame Judi Dench
Crazy to think this story came out only because someone 'discovered' old letters or finally decided it was time to share them.
1:34 this is so entertaining 😂😂😂😂
This happens in real life, too. People beaten into submission by declaring them insane.
0:28 - Where's Malcolm Tucker when you need him 😂
We should all be as aware of our imperfections, foibles & faults as Victoria. Acceptance is the path to happiness or at least peace.
Dame Judy has such an incredible ability to evoke power in everything she does.
When I heard collapsed uterus, I was like, damb. Also I laughed when Vicki said "Or-Or-Or what Bertie?"
Замечательный фильм! И Джудит Денч ,-спустя 20 лет ,романтическая Виктория
4:30 she sounds exactly like Queen Elizabeth II
Love this movie!
The downfall of the British Empire and tumor at the foundation, nobles that wanted to be rulers of the world but not respect the "colours" who they wanted to pay tax and fight to protect their assets and comforts .... while also treating the people the same colour as then who fought for those increased wealths as fully expendable tools.
The french and Russians had the right ideas eventually about giving them what was deserved.
What is a valid argument: "He's a foreigner who literally just picks up your slippers and we've been doing the same for years."
trouble is he wasn't, by definition, a foreigner, since he was a citizen of the british empire.
I had to do the same thing with Belfast solicitors 😢
It's treason then. I suspect I have to bingewatch this.
Dear old Bertie, I think that he just wanted to take that document and tear it right there
Get out of my sight.
🤴🏻👸🏼
The woman that gives the deputation to Victoria is played by the actress who plays Lady Edith in Downton Abbey.
Nooo. It’s not. Two entirely different women.
I really don't think the Queen would have mentioned her uterus. She isnt on Oprah..!
she was a bit crazy to be fair. maybe not on this but many other things
So this man brought the all monarchs of Europe to knees.
I don't understand the monologue having her refer to her "citizens" and "being in office". She would never have said either of those things.
Ah, finaly, the real "honor and bravery" of the british people, seen in action on the big screen. The real one !
The longest reigning monarch in world history was incorrect, Louis XIV is still to this day the longest reign of any monarch.
The Sun King didn't rule from the start at 5 years of age, his mother ruled until his majority in 1661 (so for 18 years or so). Take that into account and Louis only ruled by himself for about 54 or 55 years, which is less than the 63 years of Victoria. While you are technically correct, Victoria has been ruling for longer than he ever did.
@@Imfilwell Prince Albert was the brain bebind Queen Victoria for many years so discount that too and when she was grieving and did practically nothing discount that too
King Louis ruled longer and better
Well doesn’t QEII hold the longest reigning title now?
@Imfil now reverse it. If Victoria reigned starting at age 5 in 1824 and die either in 1896 (72 years of reign) or 1901, Brits would be howling they have the longest reigning monarch of all time. It's the legality of it all. What comes around goes around.
@@Imfilhe didn't rule but he was king. And length of rule is determined by when you take the Throne, not when you exercise power.
You try standing up to the most powerful monarch, and person, on earth… proclaiming her most favored, is a threat to you.
Good luck with that.
not really... she is a person too, no one really cares tbh, Victoria liked exotic pets
@@samanthasmith61. Says who… You?
She was Not amused!!!
Do Solicitors & Psni still hold authority in East Bèal Feirste over an cùirteanna?
Did this really happen in real life and who is the prince at 3:28?
Edward VII
But MM was treated fairly by the palace staff... 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Real Rasputin...
Can anybody comment on the emperor of Russia’s egg? I’m curious
There was a Faberge egg sitting on her writing desk. It was sitting on its side, which would have made it the rarest of the rare, and hence presumably why it belonged to the Emperor.
What is with the slapdash camerawork and lighting in this clip? Frears really is asleep at the wheel sometimes.
As if you could do better, wannabe
@@nicoleb695exactly! The arrogance of a nobody who uses words like "slapdash" 😂
Or as she is known in Ireland: The Famine Queen…😡
I always wondered where the word "colored" originated?
😅😅😅
Droch-cháil....disrepute 🇮🇪✌️🇯🇵
Propaganda.... a son puts his mother in lock up 😂😂😂
Power hungry anyone 😢
This is very depressing. If one were to actually look at Victorian society there are many examples of men from both the colonies and from humble origins who were elevated, knighted and otherwise celebrated. There was also never an ultimatum put to Victoria that she would be sectioned or deposed but in order to fit a modern narrative about British history, some left wing ideologue has produced this nonsense.
Whitewashed
The English-speaking colonies in ire bring 5he country into disrepute .........
How does spell check recognise 5 =T= 5HE????? 😅 MODERN DAY TECH 4 YAH... hahaha
Boy they sure went far to be bigots ..sad now we know that prejudices are deep rooted in ol england mattie ..
Cheap propaganda. Although we know that Victoria was of most stupid monarchs.
I’m not sure you even know your name!
Victoria liked her men big and Randy. John Brown, Abdul. She insisted Brown always wear his kilt so she could easily feel his toolkit
They haven't changed much since. Ask Megan and Harry
Why would we ask those liars?
We don't have to ask. Haz and Meg's relevance is based on their constant lying in public😂
In no way are H&M representative of the thoughts and values of today's royal family.
Oh yeah, that’s like asking Arabs about Israel! You fool!
