Watch Jubilee For Free

So much average

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Jordan, Little Nell, Jayne County and countless other wonderful characters of the time are captured by an artist ... Artists rarely see whats really there and Jarman missed Punk by a mile with this ... There are parts that are unforgettable ... Jordans dance being the Stand Out ... But what we have here is a film maker that has no idea of how to make a film narrative that would communicate his ideas ... If you want to see Jarmans world watch "The Alternative Miss World" which is much more entertaining, though not one of his films obviously ... Only watch this mess for some wonderful portraits of the people of the time ... Jarman did things a lot better with "Last of England"

The worst movie I have ever tried to watch. We lasted about 45 minutes hoping it would get better, it only got worse. If you have to waste an hour and 40 minutes find another way. If you have a choice of having your finger nails pulled out or watch this movie it's a toss up! The scenes at the beginning with Queen Elizabeth The First were pretty good. The costumes were good and the language very good. Unfortunately once the action moves to the future it goes down hill very quickly. Lots of boring banter between the characters and a non- existent plot. My husbands favorite part of this movie was the "nice tits". It seems more like a soft porn movie that anything else, but most of the soft porn I have seem had a plot. This did not.

One of the most important functions I perform - in my many and varied Official Roles - is that of 'censor'. Since my ordination as a Reverend in the Universal Life Church Monastery, my father has requested that I act as a 'moral guardian' within his home village.Two weeks ago, I was back at village for housekeeping purposes – to be specific, I was conducting an annual laundry service for the Robes of Disenchantment. The toadstools were sliced, the Robes were then washed and then rubbed with Powder of Significance. As the garments were hung to dry in the funeral parlour (the contents of which were turned out in the street to make room) I was handed a canister with a label – 'Jubilee'A letter posted a week later instructed me to view the contents of the canister – a reel of celluloid – and ascertain its worthiness for screening in the village at the next Moonjump Festival. The Nigerian Film Classification Board were unavailable due to it being their customary Extended Period Beneath Ground Level, so this responsibility was to fall on my shoulders.The screen flickered to life – A man ran across a rooftop chased by another man. The first man gets away and the other nearly dies when he jumps and clings to a guttering. This man is in Throes of Gobbled Liver for the rest of the film – we never see the man he was chasing again – a most frustrating plot development. But instead we follow This Second Man! In Swoon from the Orbit of the Rocks, he attempts to fornicate with a local townswoman, causing her to commit suicide. Then he finds another townswoman, makes her speak, dress and act like the first! This time-wasting device, not to mention the Immoral Content left me with no choice but to invoke the Spirit of Gerald and immediately cease the viewing!!'Jubilee' was thus given a 'Persona Ex Machina' NFCB classification. The reel was placed in the canister and sent for internment to the Port Harcourt Pepper Mine. The village Moonjump was spared moral erosion and instead shown highlights from circus shows, including 'Pepe, Derek-Pierre and the Stunt Gorillas'

Derek Jarman is not a film director one can easily digest. His films were made with the intention to shock, to produce some form of catharsis -- positive or negative -- but something so strong that there would be no other way to regard his work as moving, or deeply unsettling.JUBILEE is his second feature film coming on the heels of SEBASTIANE and tells the story of Queen Elizabeth I, who summons John Dee and has him reveal unto her the England of the future -- to see how far her influence has reached. He does so, and Ariel appears, showing her a country gone to hell, ruled under anarchy, the police, and the media. Here she time travels to this desolate future, becoming Bod and becoming a leader of a female gang of punks, among them Mad, ViV, and Crabs. Several of them have aspirations to transcend their present, dire situation and make it in the pop world -- bringing forth their own punk sensibilities to it -- while moments of extreme violence, mainly against men, ensues, until one of their own is murdered and they take action against those in power.JUBILEE is pure Jarman. Not an easy film to come into nor to watch for its entire duration because despite having done films of stronger cinematic value, it seems to me that this one is left hanging in its own time of release (1977) when Punk as a movement was screaming its way into the media and trying to assert itself. True, Punk has come and gone -- assimilated into the Modern Rock movement of the 1980s and subsequently, the Alternative Rock scene of the 1990s and the present decade, but then again, I could be speaking too soon. Every time I watch commercials on television advertising the most vicious computer games in which people destroy people and live under a system of chaos, I can see where JUBILEE was ahead of its time and it certainly is by all accounts.However, there is something vaguely repellent about this movie. I can't place it, and I went into it with a mind as open as the sea. Maybe it's Toyah Willcox's extreme performance as the butch Mad which oozes rage and draws close to insanity. It could also be the nihilism of the scenes in which two men -- one straight, one gay -- get killed at the hands of women who seduce them, among them Bod/Queen Elizabeth I, played by Jenny Runacre. Whatever it is, JUBILEE has set its goal to shock, to generate strong gut reactions to it. On that basis alone it's worth the watch, but from a distance and with a watchful ear so as to pay close attention to the sayings of Borgia Ginz who predict a dire future for human kind.
