  3. #OTD : that most unfortunate of ladies, Mary, Queen of Scots, was forced to sign the abdication of her rule, ceding the crown to her infant son, James VI (later to succeed Elizabeth I as James I).

    The religious strife, the Auld Alliance with France, misogyny, bitter rivalries, the constant strains between England and Scotland, Mary's own unwise decisions and the men who let her down, all combine into a fascinating but tragic tale.

  7. Living with Trumpism for the previous decade makes me feel like the Earl of Bothwell, Mary Queen of Scots' third (and last) husband, who spent the last ten years of his life chained to a pillar in a Danish prison.

  8. When cinema trades truth for aesthetic and myth, what gets lost? In Dreamland, violence becomes romance and consequence fades into fantasy. In Mary Queen of Scots, history is reshaped through visual bias and selective storytelling. Two films, opposite styles—same problem: the past and its people reduced to beautiful, convenient illusions.

  11. Mary, Queen of Scots was beheaded #OnThisDay, 8 February, 1587, on the orders of Elizabeth I of England – her first cousin once removed.

    Consider the way she had to go,
    Think of the hungry snare,
    The net she herself had woven,
    Aware or unaware…

    —Marion Angus, “Alas! Poor Queen”

  15. Scottish Ballet tonight. Beautiful dancing, an impressionistic story - Mary Queen of Scots (though I had a couple of difficulties with the narrative). An an excellent score, Nyman-esque at times, forebodingly percussive at other. I loved it.

    A very good show. Mary Queen of Scots is touring in the autumn, and I've half a mind to go again.

  16. SR-retrospektív - 10. rész.
    Eredetileg ez lett volna a Saoirse Ronan szerepeit bemutató sorozatom utolsó darabja, de közben találtam még egy ráadást. Mindenesetre életemben nem néztem annyi kosztümös filmet, mint ebben a sorozatban. Hogy hogyan került Stuart Máriára farmerruha, és hogy tényleg találkozott-e I. Erzsébettel, arról is olvashattok a legújabb filmajánlóban:
