He's extremely hot-tempered and impulsive, as Dudley was, and tries exceptionally hard to win Elizabeth's respect. Of course she still has issues with his mother, her cousin (?) and uses him to ultimately spite her. After many of his random antics, she has him beheaded. She falls into a deep depression. Everything 'good' and 'memorable' left of Dudley has been demolished. She still has not married and after 40 years of rule, she passes. Leaving King James to continue the Monarchy.

Elizabeth had her way - took a young man to flirt with, and made Dudley extremely jealous, claiming "it's for an heir." She then learns that Dudley was married to her cousin - tore the place apart and banished him from the Kingdom. But Dudley became ill but remained as her political advisor. Meanwhile the Queen of Scots conspiracy transpires, and Elizabeth has her killed on suspicion of treason (killing of Elizabeth). War ensues and the battle takes them out to the field. Out on the field Dudley falls drastically ill and he & Elizabeth reconcile and reestablish their bond. They have several heart-to-hearts before he leaves to be 'cured'. After a victory against France and an amazing speech from Elizabeth, she learns that Dudley has died alone. She grieves for days, but then learns of Dudley's step-son Devereaux (Robert), and is immediately taken with him... Will Elizabeth try to rekindle the bond she had with Dudley with Devereaux?

The entire palace has caught wind of their affair, and so has Dudley's wife Amy, who's at home slowly slipping away. The kingdom suspects Dudley has killed his wife in order to be with Elizabeth, but when exonerated asks Elizabeth to marry him...and as usual she turns him down! Elizabeth then comes down with small pox, and triumphantly over comes it... and makes a grand speech to the court. She'd rather be unwed and have the power, than have a husband whom she does not love... This whole episode was about perception. The perception of happiness, power, love, lust, loyalty. Dudley's fake marriage to his wife, his questionable motives towards Elizabeth (was he only after HER power?), her love for him...or was it only LUST? As she only wanted to use him for her protection of the kingdom. The story just thickens!! At closing, we see Dudley with a woman...not Elizabeth. The perception of happiness & passion rears its ugly head! Will Elizabeth stand for this betrayal?

It was one of those classics that truly belong to anyone's DVD collection. "Say Anything" was one Cameron Crowe's best works and I dare you to find a teen flick that shows the same outstanding level of sensitivity, broad characters, and soundtrack moments that this one has. Whenever I watch this film, it makes me realize that it's not so impossible to find happiness. Lloyd Dobler - my hero.
