Queen
Last night in my effort to stalk up the freezer with microwavable dinners I picked up the movie Queen. As in British Queen Elizabeth. It's all about and her family when (princess) Diana died. Let me just say that you must be a Diana fan to like the movie to start with, but Its one of the few I have wanted to re watch as soon as it was over. It's all dialog and all about the Queen and Tony Blair (I like him more after seeing the movie) and I like the royals quite a bit less after seeing the movie. The move begs me to ask a few questions
1 Can wealth and privilege really cause you to disassociate with your people, Can you really be put on such a high pedestal that it's hard to see the floor?
2 Why would someone mourn a family member like that? They took these boys deer hunting and she wasn't even cold yet!
3 Compassion where was it? As being a Christian where was her compassion?
4 It makes Americans look like golden retrievers, and gladly so, I would much rather be viewed as loyal as royal wouldn't you?
and last my conclusion
Diana could have never been a true part of there family. They did not understand her she was the golden retriever of that family only that she was living with lions not dogs (with a lioness at the head of the family). Who would think that you could confuse compassion and being able to show love towards other humans could be misconstrued by her royal family as impropriety and immoral behavior? Diana only wanted to be loved and to love others, it's clear that she wanted to be loved, after all why would she go so far as to look for it?
