Of course I don't like Henry VIII, a man who killed his wife for fun, but his political and religious actions are indeed admirable. The film mainly talks about the love between Henry VIII and Miss Ann Boleyn, as well as the decline of Cardinal Wolsey's political career and the famous religious reform movement.
I always thought that Jonathan was very suitable for playing a nobleman. Greek sculptural edges, with a slight contempt in his eyes, a sense of superiority all over his body, and a face full of desire. The look in Vanity Fair is amazing. He played Henry VIII indeed has a young king demeanor.
"The Tudors" is the gorgeous style I love. Sixteenth century England, luxurious upper class, corrupt royal life. I just love watching these people get hot-headed and engrossed in their desires.
The plot was tight at the beginning. Plus a few actors can still see through. It looks pretty tasty. But it feels like it won't work after 6 or 7 episodes.
The plot is suspected of procrastination, and the actors' expressions are already tired of seeing them. The king is like an ordinary man who is troubled by love and unscrupulous for divorce. After I got it, I didn't understand why the title of the film was "The Tudors". It was obviously the love history of Henry VIII...
American TV dramas have this common problem. When there are too many episodes, you will feel bored, tasteless, and a pity to abandon. This film is also in jeopardy.
However, I found a very interesting actor, JON VAN MOYLAND, who plays THOMAS TALLIS, a famous composer during the Tudor Dynasty, known as the father of church music. I even went to a movie for him in which he only appeared in less than 5 minutes, hehe, it's really interesting.
