      How to keep pride of mankind

      A thousand days of diary records are counted on the romantic lottery, of which only one day belongs to true love. Why did such a vital and brave person suffer from this tragedy?

      HenryVIII's political marriage became painful due to childlessness, and the innate feelings were easily defeated by other women. His strong possessiveness towards Ann manipulates him, destroying his wife who longs for simple love, and making mistakes in his career.

      Ann's pure love was betrayed by...

      This Hengba by Richard Burton was very successful

      This obnoxious villain, Henry VIII, earned Richard Burton an Oscar nomination in 1970, but failed again - Henry VIII in "Annie's Thousand Days."

      First of all, this is a female protagonist, and the male protagonist is positioned as a foil for the female protagonist. The way to correctly fulfill the director's intention is to not overwhelm the guest and highlight the personal glory.

      Hardly as operatic and...
