♕ @dailytudors: TUDOR WEEK 2024 ♕

Day Two: Favourite Tudor contemporary quote about or said by the Tudor family. >> 1/1 - ELIZABETH I's TILBURY SPEECH My loving people, We have been persuaded by some that are careful of our safety to take heed how we commit ourselves to armed multitudes, for fear of treachery. But I assure you, I do not desire to live to distrust my faithful and loving people. Let tyrants fear. I have always so behaved myself that, under God, I have placed my chiefest strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts and good-will of my subjects; and therefore I am come amongst you, as you see, at this time, not for my recreation and disport, but being resolved, in the midst and heat of the battle, to live and die amongst you all; to lay down for my God, and for my kingdom, and my people, my honour and my blood, even in the dust. I know I have the body of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too, and think foul scorn that Parma or Spain, or any prince of Europe, should dare to invade the borders of my realm: to which rather than any dishonour shall grow by me, I myself will take up arms, I myself will be your general, judge, and rewarder of every one of your virtues in the field. I know already, for your forwardness you have deserved rewards and crowns; and We do assure you on a word of a prince, they shall be duly paid. In the mean time, my lieutenant general shall be in my stead, than whom never prince commanded a more noble or worthy subject; not doubting but by your obedience to my general, by your concord in the camp, and your valour in the field, we shall shortly have a famous victory over these enemies of my God, of my kingdom, and of my people. [Featuring various art, Helen Mirren as Elizabeth in Elizabeth I, Anne-Marie Duff as Elizabeth in The Virgin Queen, Glenda Jackson as Elizabeth in Elizabeth R and Cate Blanchett as Elizabeth in Elizabeth: The Golden Age]

THE MUSIC LOVERS (1971) dir. Ken Russell Composer, conductor and teacher Pyotr Ilych Tchaikovsky is a closeted homosexual who would do anything, selfish or not, to disguise that fact during a time when his sexual preference would have cost him the one thing that he truly loved: his music. Tchaikovsky's solution is to marry, but unfortunately he chooses Antonina Miliukova, a (allegedly) nymphomaniac girl whom he cannot satisfy. His marriage is plagued by both his struggles to retain his newfound career and his lustful desire for Count Anton Chiluvsky. (link in title)

The Boy Friend (1971)

On the heels of his most controversial, allegedly “blasphemous” film, Ken Russell “took a break” by delivering one of his most meticulously-detailed, ambitious, and opulent films: a sprawling musical parody of the vaudevillian styles of the early 20th century and the Early Hollywood Musical…starring Twiggy! (She’s really good in it!).

Director: Ken Russell

Cinematographer: David Watkin

Starring: Twiggy, Glenda Jackson, Christopher Gable, Max Adrian, Tommy Tune, Bryan Pringle, Murray Melvin, Moyra Fraser, and Georgina Hale
