Summary
This week, The Cine-Files is honored to be joined by Senior Writer for The National Review Charles CW Cooke to explore a film which takes us inside the royal family during one of the most difficult and controversial moments in the last 50 years. Directed by Stephen Frears and starring Helen Mirren and Michael Sheen, The Queen is a brilliant, incisive and very human look at a collision between tradition and the modern world, a real human family trapped within centuries of tradition and the relationship between the general public and person who had become more legend than living being.
If you haven't seen this incredible film you can buy or stream it right here.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Steve. There have been 11 presidents since I was born, and yet in all that time there |
| 0:06.8 | was only one queen. Elizabeth II was more than just a public figure. She was the enduring |
| 0:12.6 | symbol of a national consistency. A woman who seemed to transcend popular trends, social |
| 0:18.6 | upheaval, and partisan politics. Her dedication to duty and country seemed above reproach, |
| 0:25.2 | but there was one moment in 1997 when she found herself unexpectedly at odds with the nation |
| 0:30.9 | she had dedicated her life to. The queen, directed by Stephen Freers and starring Helen |
| 0:35.6 | Mirren and Michael Sheen, documents in stark detail the tumultuous days surrounding the |
| 0:40.8 | unexpected death of Princess Diana, and the radical readjustment it forced on the royal family. |
| 0:47.6 | This is a fascinating film, and we are honored to be joined in our discussion by |
| 0:52.0 | Senior Writer of the National Review and Author of the Conservatory in Manifesto, Charles CW Cook. |
| 0:58.8 | So, if you haven't seen this incredible film, I highly recommend a royal visit to our webpage |
| 1:03.8 | cinephiles.net, where you can buy or stream the queen, along with every other movie we've ever |
| 1:09.3 | reviewed. Queen Elizabeth and Tony Blair are both real-life leaders portrayed on film, and if you |
| 1:15.2 | happen to support the show on patreon.com slash the cinephiles, right now you could be listening to |
| 1:21.2 | John and I discuss the greatest depictions of real-life leaders in the history of cinema. |
| 1:26.4 | So, that's a discussion of leaders on patreon and the queen, with special guest, Charles CW Cook, |
| 1:32.5 | this Friday on the cinephiles. This is a family funeral, Mr. Blair, not a fair ground attraction. |
| 1:38.2 | Now if there's nothing else I must get on, the children have to be looked after. Of course. |
| 1:43.4 | Well, goodbye, you mentioned. |
| 1:52.8 | Hello and welcome once again to the cinephiles, where each week we enter the world of a great film, |
| 1:56.6 | we explore its themes, the history, the filmmaking, and the influence it has on us today. |
