Now that I understand it, just like "Elizabeth I", such so-called modern historical dramas and epic films are actually very romantic, even very deliberate. It really doesn't matter at all. The script only spends a lot of energy on the deliberately laid out conspiracy theories, love triangles, and instant salted fish turning over, but the real historical facts have been seriously ignored. It's so entertaining, it even looks Hollywood!
In historical facts, Mary Boleyn is the elder sister, the eldest daughter of the Boleyn family. Annie is my sister! Mary Boleyn, like Anne Boleyn, was a courtesan at court venues, and even her early flirtatious reputation far surpassed that of Anne, and she was not a kind and simple person at all. After Annie's death, she did not take care of Annie's daughter, but only to protect herself.
Henry VIII had a strong desire for power, broke with the Catholic Church, and deposed the well-received queen. In fact, it was mostly out of political considerations. How could it be just to possess a woman as shown in the film? Such an arrangement obviously made the characters small and stupid! And Annie is just a junior who is dazzled by interests. Although she has education and insights, how can she be so bold as to talk about the abolition of religious power? Despite his overly inflated desires, it may indeed have impelled Henry VIII's determination to carry out religious reforms. Think of the centuries that followed, the whole of England was plunged into religious conflict, and millions of people died because of this woman's dangerous and cruel smile! No wonder Elizabeth I was shrewd and suspicious, and had such an outrageous mother! Also because of this prostitute and slut-like mother, the legitimacy of Elizabeth I's inheritance is indeed questionable. Mary of Scots is more qualified to be the king of England than she is, although she is more talented.
Besides, why did you find two Jews to come to the Boleyn sisters? I didn't see much performance. The King of England also chose a Croatian-German mixed blood born in Australia? Australia accepted prisoners sent by England back then!
The film is almost completely flat from beginning to end, without brilliance, and there is nothing to be moved at all.
If you really want to understand this history, "The Tudor Dynasty" is absolutely unreliable, and "The Six Wives of Henry VIII" is relatively objective. Or you can go to the Internet to search for more rational and rigorous information.
