The last shot of the movie, the pair in all their glory.
I loved this movie. It was surprisingly romantic, in the most basic definition of romanticism. In choosing a husband, Victoria had to choose not only a life partner and practical co-ruler of her universe, but the practical co-ruler of millions of other people she reigned over. I thought The Young Victoria well-casted, and the acting phenonomal -- both subtle and alive.
I really like Paul Bettany, who plays Queen Victoria's trusted advisor Lord Melbourne.
For a bit of celebrity gossip, he's married to actress Jennifer Connolly. They look so striking together!
