"I, Too, Can Command The Wind, Sir!" | Elizabeth The Golden Age | Screen Bites 

Henry's ruthlessness + Anne's temper = The greatest Queen in English history

Wow Cate Blanchett is something else. She does that scene FANTASTICALLY. Damn.

ugh this is soooooooooooooooooo perfectly acted. honestly one of my favorite scenes of all time. top 5 at least. cate blanchett is so talented

What is funny about Cate Blanchett presence of stage and gravitas of acting is that you actually feel ROYAL AUTHORITY in her voice, she is every bit as regal as one can imagine, and her wrath when she says: "I too can command the wind, sir" is such that for a moment or two the viewer can be excused for actually taking the character word literally

Honestly, Cate Blanchet in this series is pretty much exactly how I imagine Elizabeth I to be. She perfectly nails the wise and astute, yet firey and tempestuous queen

"I too can command the wind, Sir!"... and she did just that ❤

She was born for this role

One of the greatest scenes from one of the greatest movies by one of the greatest actors ever.

Cate could have pulled off that stupid "There is a tempest in me!!" dialogue in RoP and still made it work purely with her commanding presence . LOL

I TOO CAN COMMAND THE WIND, SIR! I HAVE A HURRICANE IN ME THAT WILL STRIP SPAIN BARE IF YOU DARE TRY ME! You don't mess with Queen Elizabeth I.

Anne Boleyn certain got the posthumous last laugh through Queen Elizabeth's manifold triumphs!

Intelligence and charisma of her mother Temper and brilliance of her father. Elizabeth 1st was a deadly mix.

Cate Blanchett is the best actor who played Elizabeth Tudor .

damn, this is an powerful actress

The Spanish are like “Why am I hearing boss music?”

The guard. "WTF did he say?" 😂

Favorite scene from any movie ever made!!!

God, that was powerful!

Anne Boleyn's little girl, as depicted by the sublime Genevieve Bujold in Anne of the Thousand Days. Half the movie is her tearing Henry a new one, just like this.

That was indeed how I was.

Why is it that British Queens rule better than their male counterparts?

The loss of the Armada actually freed Spain to expand its empire in South America and in the pacific

Actress Kate Blungate played the character of Queen Elizabeth in an amazing and wonderful way

That line ,that very line. woah ! I am thrilled

"Who robs a thief 100 years has to forgive..." Philip II of Spain was terribly beaten for the strong force of the wind but he was the responsible of this war. The "invincible army", ha, ha, ha. Meanwhile Sir Francis Drake take all the gold he could take from America takling ships. This gold only arrive to the german & dutch banks to pay more wars. As Quevedo from Spain told "(the gold) is born in the honored Indies, where the world accompanies him; It comes to die in Spain and is buried in Genoa." The stupidity of the war...

Love how she is portrayed here its symbolic ,like prophecy , like her spirit was speaking ,but her body self its unsure if she can even win ,somewhere in there is a I MUST WIN , I AM ALL THAT I AM .

Gave me chills!

Best movie scene of all time.

Besides Cate Blanchett marvelous performance, I’m in awe with the architecture of the location. Where did they film this scene?

this scene alone with dialogue, give my spirit so much strength and power ❗🖤👑

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="53">0:53</a> ,"How dare you,im going to cut off your fucking head", is totally my reaction too.

Cate is the greatest actress of all time.

Right in that moment the god of the seas, side with England, The Born of Britannia

Fun fact, Cate Blanchett actually pulled her diaphragm muscle when she did this scene and that’s why her lips quiver at the end. She was in an insane amount of pain. She had to have physical therapy and everything. It’s a Boss scene though, and I’m sure she still thinks it was worth it!

Great scene!

So powerful !

best scene ever

The fact is that probably Spanish were more goodmannered than English, which the whole world before colonization recognized for how Barbarians they are. Spain is Rome, England is Barbaricum. Even in this antiCatholic portrayal Spanish are chads and badass anyway.

i realy like what you do !!! :)

In this movie the love scenes were not like other love scenes, when I watched this movie using boxxy software.... that's moments was really... emotional

This scene owes as much to the Spanish Ambassador's uncowed snark (repleat with the understated curtsey at the end), which set him up as a formidable antagonist to "The Queen of ALL England". Without his considerable heft, the Queen's speech would have come across as an unhinged "tantrum" directed at some lowly and defenseless Spanish court lackey!

England has and will always be underrated. Something goes wrong in the world everyone turns to England for an answer. A sleeping lion tho tranquil and calm will awake to be something profound and unpredictable. The mother nation of the modern world. Stood on her own against the biggest Catholic nations of Europe and the biggest invasion fleet the world was yet to see and came out on top. There is something about English/ British pride compared to other nations that is simply overwhelming. This scene sets the stone. After this no power (other than the french) who still couldn’t quite beat them. Made it out on top until 1947. Without England the world would be a much worse place. Thank you Elizabeth for creating this pathway. Only England stands against tyranny whilst being the tyrant.

William Houston, great actor.

Genius !!

"I have a tempest in me" Gayladrial

The Spanish with a poetic flourish and the Brits shouting.

Touched by fire 🔥💯🥰

I thought you couldn't turn your back on a monarch?

I too can command the Wind-Sir (Windsor)

I love her.

I.. i... I don’t know...I mean.... wow.... what the hell am I doing with my life.....

Well, in History you don't mess with HM Elizabeth 1- she was right because when the Spanish Armada came -a hurricane and very nasty storm did hit the fleet. And She was not kidding either.

My absolute favorite monarch Gloriana good old queen Bess. My cars name is lady Elizabeth

Sir Christopher Hatton pulled his sword like “who tf do you think you’re talkin to??” 😭

This deserves billions of oscars❤❤❤❤

There is a tempest in me.

The Spanish Ambassador had bails of STEEL to dare insult a monarch at her own court , in her own country .......great acting though for both actors .

Sir Christopher Hatton is the guy to the Queen’s left that drew his sword is my ancestor. Checking in from Lower Merion Pa.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="75">1:15</a> He came from Spanish Accent to Australian. ROUGH AUSTRALIAN

He sure skedaddled outta there real fast

I would watch this movie over and over just to see her dresses

I too can command the Windsor

I only wish that QE2 would get a spine like that.

A great performance by Australian actress Cate Blanchett in this scene from the movie Elizabeth Golden Age .

Where is this magnificent location?

Can I have a strand of your hair my lady 🥺

Exquisit

We need a third instalment.

now, that’s how you speak

I’m something of a wind commander myself after a bowl of beans

Like 👏🏻 a👏🏻 boss

Her husband was Philip..wasn't wife of zaharia unfortunately.. Tell Philip and his priests and popes and his armies While Elisabeth she was with Philip.... married.. Is a misunderstanding

❤❤❤

.... FIrrrrmeee za... I Command the Wind Sir.... Power....

❤

And she did. Spains fleets we’re crushed by the British Navy.

I can get addicted to this scene

What a Hollywood goddess 😍😍❤️❤️

Anyone else get a rush during this scene?

I have a tempest in me

I saw them during Katrina my darling.

The Word.

Ronald Mcdonald was actually freaking out in his palace. She wouldn't even have the saliva to say those words.

Queen Bess ❤

Im just curious if she actually said this in real life

사실 당시 역사를 보면 스페인 외교관이 하는 말 중 틀린 건 없지

It's obvious this is where the Rings of Power got their "inspiration" (more like plagiarism) from in "I have a tempest in me" scene of Karendriel. 🤦🏻‍♂️

And a few months later, the Spanish armada was defeated, making England the strongest naval power in Europe. Queen Elizabeth takes control!

The only thing wrong with this otherwise stellar scene, is that Sir Christopher Hatton (Laurence Fox), after the pause, looked down to his sword.

😮

Dad a place of king and queens you will arrive here soljas

Don’t fuck with Elizabeth!!!

Tempest……. 🎉🎉🎉

The Spanish guy looks like Carlos Sainz

The Power of that delivery. What great films! Back before woke nonsense turned up and history films could be accurate. Wish there were a whole series of these, there's so much lore during the Tudors.

Oh

Message to the EU

Wala nag sabi na magalimg mag rap si elizabeth

kind of funny that an English woman would call Spain a rat hole.
