Henry VIII, modern style
This film is a modern rendition of the relationship between Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn and her sister Mary Boleyn. Until this movie came out I was unaware of the rivalry for the king's love between two sisters. It was great to watch feisty Anne (Natalie Portman) persuade the king to divorce Catharine of Aragon, leave Catholic Church and create Church of England in order to marry her. The product of that union was no less but Elizabeth I, the Virgin Queeen, one of the greatest and longer ruling monarch in Britain's history. I am still puzzled that there was never any mention of King's illegitemate son with Mary Boleyn. What happened of this boy? While the film is full of plots, twists an intrigues that explain how royal coupling is both political and moral issue for the state, I found language to be too colloquial to suit House of Tudor. The costumes were beautiful and the actress playing Catherine of Aragon commanding in her grace and appearance. Wonderful entertainment value here, but not quite a masterpiece.
