As our red-haired lass clings onto power but may not keep it... this is the second of two films about another famous red-headed ruler. As a ship nut I love the Spanish Armada scenes. The music is Arirang, which is a Korean folk tune. Strangely, the music and these scenes go perfectly together.
A famous Sci-Fi novel called Pavane decribes an alternate 20th century in a world where Spain had actually conquered England in 1588. It's not a pleasant world.
On the other hand, some of what is bad in ours is not present.
Enjoyed the clip very much, Magpie. It brightened my already sunny Sunday morning. Hope your indecision 2010 sorts itself out soon.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it. I was in a mellow mood.
ReplyDeleteIndecision 2010 is in the hands of a few independents... we just have to wait and see. It's an extraordinary situation and gives rise to all sorts of questions about the value of what is, by default, a two party system.
Should get some indication of what will happen later in the week.
