"The Other Boleyn Girl" movie review

In a movie with an all-star cast, even the characters who played soy sauce without lines were later big stars who played the lead role. Simply put, it is a life-and-death love-hate relationship between the mother, aunt, father and other related people of Queen Elizabeth I, who has ruled the United Kingdom for 45 years. The two female protagonists are Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson. Natalie Portman is so beautiful. Scarlett is a little bit of my aesthetic. The use of light in British films has always been beautiful, and the pictures and costumes are as beautiful as oil paintings. In fact, it is a very attractive plot. For the sake of fame and fortune, the father and uncle let the two sisters please the king for political gain. There was an open and secret struggle between the two sisters, and the scheming sister overthrew the original queen and became the second queen herself, but was later sent to the guillotine. I really feel that character determines fate, and the gentle and kind sister is the only happy person in the end; while the elder sister is too clever in the calculation of the agency, and mistaken for Qingqing's life, too strong, too selfish, and too unscrupulous, especially after the child has a miscarriage, in order to conceive. On the boy, he actually figured out a way to make her brother and her incest (it is said that it did not really happen), and finally this perverted decision sent her and her brother to the guillotine. But I feel that the sense of heaviness in the movie is not enough. In the movie, Henry VIII wanted to abolish the queen in order to get Anne, and did not hesitate to leave the Pope who supported the queen and abolish the Catholic faith. Such an important thing must not be done just because he wants to win and marry Anne. The decision, the political reasons in reality are not reflected in the film, which seems to be child's play.

    Confess the two goddesses. It's a pity that Scarlett was completely suppressed by the director. It's not pleasing at all. I said I almost didn't recognize her. Does anyone believe it? The most important thing is that there is no description of the same sex, and the story is not smooth and tight.

    According to the historical facts, the shooting of the camera is very entertaining, but it seems that the portrayal of the royal family is too simple and arbitrary. The emperor who rules the dynasty that was changed by the woman seems very incompetent.
