When I watched The Ohter Boleyn Girl yesterday, I didn't pull the time bar very much. In retrospect, I think it was because the whole story was like a fairy tale (laughs) . Therefore, I also prefer another Chinese translation: Magpie Nest and Dove Zhan - more like a fairy tale.
This is a story about two Boleyn girls who are successively given to King Henry as mistresses. The queen of the king is the wife of the former king (his brother), because he did not give birth to a boy, so the king of henry "naturally" messed with flowers everywhere. The Boleyn family originally wanted to send the ambitious eldest daughter A to be H's mistress, but unfortunately A accidentally hurt the king and angered the king, so the family had to send the "kind" young daughter M to the king for healing. During this period, King H accepted M as his mistress because he felt that M as the second child in the family had the same experience with himself. After that, M got pregnant naturally, but unfortunately the king's feelings for M gradually faded away, coupled with abstinence, he began to continue to make trouble. At this time, A appeared to seduce the king again, forcing the king to exile M, breaking with the Pope of Rome, abolishing the former queen and becoming a new queen. But because A was too conceited in the early stage, coupled with repeated miscarriages, the king began to hate A, and finally A was executed as a witch. . .
As can be seen from the brief description of my fairy tale above (laughs), this is a story with a relatively large time span: the British King Henry broke with the Holy See because of a woman, and Britain fell into a situation of isolation. The subject matter is also a relatively large event, and it is suitable to add a lot of yy ingredients. But in terms of processing, I feel that the director seems to have distributed the time too evenly, just like the processing at the beginning-using simple dialogue, introducing the background or character, and then moving on to the next scene-this is a quasi-storytelling approach. Bar.
Halfway through the film, the eldest daughter A, who, as Boleyn's father said "like a different person", returns to seduce the king, and then quickly falls again. This episode should have been the highlight of the court battle. . . However, this film is still treated as a fairy tale narrative, so I watched A's clumsy seduction skills calmly like a tea guest. . .
It has to be said that A seduces the king by constantly refusing to have sex with him. . . There really isn't much to speak of a court battle. . . Even the part about the break with the Holy See. . . In fact, strictly speaking, A has not participated in much, but he just mentioned a sentence when defending himself later: "This is for your own good, you don't have to be led by the Holy See, you can control Christianity.". . . Can such a sentence be considered to have brought A to participate in the court struggle? -b
Throughout the whole article, I think the shortcomings of the film are obvious, and there is nothing particularly admirable or immersive. But on the other hand, this film can be regarded as a quasi-fairy tale, and the pictures, actors and story are still somewhat attractive. So it's a movie for Samsung o(∩_∩)o...
