Top 10 political bio-pics RT
Helen Mirren was quoted as saying that playing the Star came naturally to her, as she had watched film and video footage of Elizabeth II and kept a number of her photographs in her trailer during setting. Large parts of the film feature real life images, including footage of several of Diana's pressure conferences, scenes from outside Buckingham Palace after the death of Diana, her mourning and funeral, featuring appearances by Elton John, Nicole Kidman and Tom Sail.

Oliver Stone is said to be one of the most outspokenly political and daring American filmmakers. His three-hour-hanker epic biography of the 37th President of the US, Richard Nixon, is just further proof of Stone’s federal savvy. The drama focuses on Nixon’s upbringing by his uncompromising Quaker mother, the ups and downs in his public career, and his downfall in the wake of the Watergate scandal. The facts are often mixed with speculation and rumor, however, creating a photograph somewhat critical and sympathetic of Nixon, who was played by Anthony Hopkins.
