WTF is with this movie?

Seriously, I don't even know what to begin with...
1) Why is the queen a lesbian, in those days gay people were burned at the stake, there's no way that the queen of England would be a lesbian.
2) What's with the weird cinematography, bizzare camera angles, the fish-eye lens and the strange quick pans - they are irritating and just take you out of the movie.
3) What's with the weird dance at the ball - that looked more like acrobatic Rock'n'Roll or Lyndy Hop than an 18th century dance.
4) Why are people so vulgar and use rude words, what kind of gentleman would insult, push or slap a lady?
5) Why did this movie get so many awards and nominations at the Oscars, it's simply a bad and boring film!

you should check out this directors other "work", his style is super weird and not in a good way like David Lynch.

1) She's the queen. She says, "Jump", you say, "where to?".
2) Wasn't there a painter back then who made works that looked all fish-eye lensy?
3) I don't know.
4) People are people in every time period.
5) The Academy must have really liked it. Oscars are a joke, anyway.
