the other boleyn girl hit theater today and and of course and i be in for the first showing . i have be anticipate this movie for over 2 year now and ever since i first hear it be in production . why can not director seem to get it right when it come to this time period . i understand completely the hollywood concept of dramatic flair for the big screen . but there be a difference between dramatic flair and complete revisionist history . this movie make the hbo series and the tudor seem like a bbc documentary as far a factual information be concern . now and the director be not all to blame . phillippa gregory do a damn good job of distort the truth in this alternate interpretation of the story of anne boleyn . her portrayal of anne a ruthlessly ambitious and downright devilish be at odds with the soft portrayal favor by jean plaidy and other author of this period . anne own diary would suggest her true personality to be more of the unwilling victim and royal pawn in the scheme cook up by her ambitious male relative . only when she discover that her path in life would be to submit or face death or exile do she succumb to henry advance . the opening scene of the movie concern how anne and henry met . well and there be debate on this and the movie select hever . i will allow that . but this first it be most certainly not in front of the whole court and follow by a hunt in which henry take a tumble and to be nurse back to health by mary and anne old sister ( the movie and book portray her a the young sister this be false ) . anne ambition be apparent from this very day and she indeed seem to find her father and uncle scheme appeal and agrees to hunt his majesty . hardly the case in reality . anne be in love with and betroth to henry percy at the time of her first meeting with henry . the movie have it backwards . she do not settle for percy only after mary have steal henry . another extremely annoy point of order here . cardinal wolsey be completely absent from this film . this be such a blare error a to render the movie completely abominable . wolsey be such a force in the entire drama and from the arrangement of the marriage and the divorce and to all matter of state and religion in between to leave him out be both amateur and foolish and not to mention a missed opportunity for much need plot thicken . run through the laundry list of other inaccuracy . anne be not exile to france because she fumble her attempt to seduce henry . this be utterly ridiculous . it be well know that both anne and mary practically grow up in the french court from the time they be 12 to their late teen . only then do the sister join the english court and much less begin their drama with the king . and she be not bring back to entertain henry whilst mary lay in with his child . again anne most strongly want to marry her first love and henry percy and duke of northumberland . but once henry have set his eye upon her and choose to make her his own and then and only then be her uncle and father scheme put into motion . their original intention be to milk the long go affair of her sister mary for all it be worth . now and a for the incest theory . gregory be take a huge risk here by suggest that the allegation levy upon anne and her brother george be indeed found in truth and bear out of anne desperation to get with child after her miscarriage . i do believe anne be desperate to get pregnant quickly and and she be very close to her brother but this be a huge leap and and one true historian would never make . it also suggest that something other than henry brute desire be at play here when he charge them with treason and which be not the case . he simply want to be rid of anne and to beget a male heir off of his next mistress . and good gracious what of the rape scene . not only be this disturbing and but so far fetched . although anne resist for year and when she finally give in to henry and she do believe herself to be in love with him or at the very least and resign to accept her fate . and henry be completely besotted with her . why else would he break from rome and catholicism and risk his kingdom for anything less . no and he would not have rap anne for their first sexual encounter . he be a brute and but he be most concerned of his image of the romantic courtier when it come to woman affection . finally and a note on the character . portman do an acceptable job portray the character from the book even though this character be not the true anne boleyn . johannson make a lovely mary and probably quite close to the real woman . a for bana a sore disappointment . bad casting and bad acting . be this the same bana of the acclaimed munich and troy . where be the range . he come across a flat and not well study . jonathon rhys meyers of the hbo tudor blow him out of the water on all level . sensuality and intensity and evil a henry the 8th . why can not i just watch these movie and leave feeling entertain . i do not quite know i care too much about 15th century england for some reason . it become hardwired in me after watch anne of the thousand day a a young girl . no tudor movie since then have get close in accuracy or sheer entertainment since then . burton and bujold be classic and untouchable . but after watch this hack job and i have to say i be look forward to the new season of the tudor on hbo .
