Overall three stars, although average or even not very good, but there are also bright spots. First of all, I read the comments for myself and simply defined this story as the shallowness and arbitrary shame of "two women competing for one man" and "female competition". Probably not a good historical story adaptation, but far larger than I expected (maybe I expected too low...).
Let me talk about my dissatisfaction first. For example, the plot setting is too aggressive. How can I be seen fornicating all of a sudden, miscarried all at once, and executed all at once? Taller. . . But in the end there was something that made me feel very emotional
1. All the women who appear are victims, from the first queen, to older sisters, younger sisters, mothers, and even the wives of younger brothers, but some victims are also perpetrators (sisters, wives of younger brothers), and some perpetrators Those who bring (relatively) sound logic some don't. Women are always at a disadvantage compared to men. In my opinion, An's biggest mistake is not the two crimes of abetting queens and robbing men of sisters, but the so-called failure to correctly estimate whether she has the ability to negotiate with power and power. Aside from being a king, an adult male can get what she thinks is the biggest bargaining chip by coercion - or it is a wrong act to use it as a bargaining chip. Of course, this is not the reason why Ann can be criticized. The most reprehensible, love-brained, erotic, cowardly, cold-blooded, stupid and selfish Henry VIII lived to the end, and the power-hungry uncle and weak and greedy father even ushered in "deserved" at the last moment. "The ending (haven't been beheaded yet, lucky enough for innocent Ann and George), is it really ironic?
2. In the middle, I thought that my sister's words were okay, and it could be said that she was a feminist pioneer in a certain sense. . . . Will you like some evil girls with ambition and brains?
3. I'm thinking about whether the director wants to express "karma" in a religious sense or something, such as Ann who destroys other people's harmonious family will be treated in the same way (Mary jumps the prophet, that paragraph should really make the whole The world's junior three to see...), the male heir that Henry VIII has been pursuing has finally failed completely with the ascension of Elizabeth I and the opening of a new era. I was sidetracked by the seat belt once in the middle. I won't let you have a better life if you tell me about it. Although it's cool, don't do bad things... In fact, for most people, doing good deeds or kind people is the easiest way to live. .
4. I don't know what kind of heroine's character the 2008 movie tends to be, but in 2022, there must be an evil female careerist with reasonable motives that is more popular than the Virgin White Lotus. It seems that talking about a bottomless and kind woman today is easy to cause disgust. Although Mary did give me a feeling of indifference at the beginning, but I have released my old quarrel with my sister, accompanied my sister, and risked my life to intercede for my sister. , not something ordinary people can do (at least I can't). Kindness, selflessness and tolerance are extremely precious qualities, and Mary does have a pure and noble soul, which is unquestionable and absolutely worthy of respect, and should not be prejudiced for no reason just because it goes against the "mainstream". As for Ann, at least in the abolition of the queen and the break with the Holy See, her foresight and courage are far stronger than that of Henry VIII. Although her selfishness is mixed, her decisiveness, firmness and foresight of the future cannot be described as admirable. .
Finally, let's end with a female character that I respect very much.
Just as the old school is like a queen, and the reformist is like an Ann, with the inextricable interests involved, it is difficult to determine whether it is right or wrong. What I find interesting about this movie is that from everyone's point of view, everyone's behavior has a certain rationality. Even the movie itself is difficult to say whether it is good or bad, whether it is the director's original intention or the audience's understanding. . The author is dead, the classic "A strange light shines in the eyes of the fish".
