Itinerary:

Come see the movie "The Queen" at Metrocinema, which is showing on Sunday May 20th at 1:30pm.
Metrocinema movie listing

The Queen is a 2006 British drama film directed by Stephen Frears, written by Peter Morgan, and starring Helen Mirren as the title role, Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom.
Released almost a decade after the event, the film depicts a fictional account of the immediate events following the death of Diana, Princess of Wales on 31 August 1997.

I saw this movie in the UK after its original release, and highly recommend it.
Helen Mirren's Oscar-winning performance is excellent, and Michael Sheen also deserves praise for his role as the then Prime Minister Tony Blair.

I felt that the movie captured the mood in the UK after the death of Princess Diana, including the public perception of the Monarchy and the hysterical (in my opinion) reaction of the tabloid press.

DISCLAIMER - PLEASE NOTE:
Although this movie is being hosted at Metrocinema by the Monarchist League of Canada, my posting of this event is by no means an endorsement for or against that organization.
I have merely posted a movie that I enjoyed in the past, and may be of interest to some EOC members.

Meet outside Metrocinema at 1:15pm for the 1:30pm showing.
I will be wearing a yellow EOC cap, so you can recognise me.
(and no, I won't be wearing a Union Jack!)

Admission to the movie is free. We can go for drinks / snacks afterwards if people are interested.

Required Items to Bring:
Money for drinks / snacks
