文化面面觀 The Queen: story behind the movieElizabeth IIThe British prime minister and the Royal Family findthemselvesquietly at odds in the wake of a national tragedy in thisdramafrom director Stephen Frears. On August 31, 1997, Diana,Princessof Wales died in an auto accident in Paris; despitethecontroversial breakup of her marriage to Prince Charles, shewasstill one of the most famous and best-loved women in the world,andthe public outpouring of emotion over her passing was immediateandintense. However, given the messy circumstances of Diana"sbreakupwith Charles, official spokespeople for the Royal Familywereuncertain about how to publicly address her passing. It didn"ttakelong for the media to pick up on the hesitation ofBuckinghamPalace to pay homage to Diana, and many saw this as asign of thecool emotional distance so often attributed to theroyals, which inthis case was widely seen as an insult againstDiana and the manypeople who loved her. Prime Minister Tony Blair(played by MichaelSheen) saw a potential public-relations disasterin the making, andtook it upon himself to persuade Queen ElizabethII (played byHelen Mirren) to make a statement in tribute to thefallen Diana --an action that went against the taciturn queen"susual nature. TheQueen was released the same year that Helen Mirrenplayed QueenElizabeth I in an acclaimed miniseries for Britishtelevision; TheQueen also gave Michael Sheen his second opportunityto play TonyBlair after portraying the prime minister in thetelevision filmThe Deal.

文化面面觀 The Queen: story behind the movie&背景大事記 經典影評 戴妃身後的《女王》1997年，如果香港回歸還不至於讓所有英國人因顏面受損而感到悲哀，隨之而來的戴妃車禍罹難的噩耗才讓整個大不列顛國被愁雲籠罩。雖然在生時接連傳出婚外情、離婚醜聞，斯人已逝，國民還是原諒了他們心目中美麗善良的王妃。曾經簇擁著王子和王妃華麗花車行進的壯觀人潮再次湧現在通往威斯敏斯特大教堂的路上，無數的白玫瑰和白蠟燭鋪滿王宮外牆。戴妃的死刺痛了民心，更刺到了英國皇室越來越暴露於媒體輿論下的痛處。
本來是又一樁成分極佳的醜聞結果以死亡成就了戴妃在國民心中的神聖形象，而她的死在民間激起的一系列反應更是皇室始料未及的，雖然名義上離婚後的黛安娜已不享有王妃的頭銜，戴妃的死使她和皇室的關係再次淪為外界的談資，在鋪天蓋地的猜測與難以理解的集體傷感面前，女王（海倫·米倫）拒絕參加葬禮甚至生出退位的念頭，這恰與上任不久的首相布萊爾（詹姆斯·克倫威爾）的主動親民形成鮮明對比，皇室的精神領袖地位也再次遭遇質疑。面對國民的悲慟和媒體的追擊，女王這是挽救皇室已經孱弱不堪的公眾形象的關鍵時機。
一個過氣王妃的死在過去十年的歷史中都可視作頭等大事，國際政要在她的葬禮致悼詞、幾乎整個世界都因為她的香消玉殞而慟哭、她的成長經歷和私生活一時成為社交話題並且至今仍不斷湧現新的細節、還有一首本來不屬於她的歌居然因為紀念她而整整一年高踞亞歐美各大音樂榜榜首，可見為何英國皇室與她脫離關係後仍要為她背負沉重的輿論壓力而神經緊張。不久前英國又一男士借爆出與戴妃的一段情大肆宣傳自傳，英國本土導演史蒂芬弗萊斯在戴妃逝世近十年後拍攝《女王》一片卻不是乘機拿多年的猛料野史翻炒一鍋皇家醜聞雜燴飯。
從片名和影片海報可一窺導演的意圖：在巨大的、不完整的戴妃畫像前的是女王獨自一人承受觀眾的視線。這位黛安娜的前度家婆作為英國皇室靈魂的最忠實繼承人在承受後者之死給家族造成的影響時首當其衝，她首先需要保護皇室家族的聲譽與形象同時也要為子民的情緒作出反應，而皇室在體制與價值取向已截然不同的媒體面前顯得老態龍鍾、保守的性格與外界的咄咄逼人格格不入，新上任不久的首相布萊爾在處理與民眾的關係時卻代表著一種較為前衛、年輕的親民態度。《女王》正是借著這段敏感的事件呈現皇室在媒體與公眾注視下無所適從的困境和女王為首的皇室與首相布萊爾在處理戴妃事件如何從對立走向統一。出生在英國利物浦的導演史蒂芬弗萊斯向來樂於植根本土滲入英國上下各階層挖掘、提取反映英國工業發展環境下產生的各種社會問題，《女王》不僅是對一次歷史事件的戲劇性重演，更是史蒂芬弗萊斯促成的對英國君主制度當下存在意義的反思。
