Rule Britannia

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

Rule Britannia!

~~ Britain RULES the day at the Oscars ... year after year.

Could it be the clipped British accent or the literary classics of British history that evoke nostalgia?

The recession has skewered the lives of ordinary folks and they have found escapist entertainment in (you guessed) HISTORY!

Some favourites  ... mine:

Gosford Park             My Fair Lady             Young Victoria - raging fan of Emily Blunt

Elizabeth: The Golden Age          The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie         Mary Poppins

Vivien Leigh's Scarlett in Gone With the Wind and in A Street Car Named Desire

Helen Mirren's The Queen              The English Patient           GiGi     


Bravo ...  Bravo ...  Bravo
