It is said that the TV series is called "The Tudors", and it should start with Henry VII. I originally watched the score from the end of Wars of Roses, and I wondered that maybe I could still see Richard III; I didn't expect Henry VIII, Henry VII's son, to be made at the beginning of the TV series. The Tudor dynasty has never been a prolific dynasty. It is impossible to see things like Edward III of Gorse having 7 sons at once. Henry VII had only two sons who did not die early, Athur and Henry. Of course, Athur was the heir to the throne, so Henry VII had already arranged a future for Henry: entering the church. Little Henry received a good education, and all the educated people are priests. Unexpectedly, Athur didn't wait until he succeeded to the throne, so little Henry became the heir to the throne. Little Henry not only inherited the throne, but also inherited his brother Athur's wife, Catherine of Aragon. The TV series is launched in this context. Little Henry, the famous Blue Beard King Henry VIII, married 6 wives in his life. England was monogamous, that is to say, Henry VIII was married 6 times, but he was only divorced twice, it’s amazing. Regarding Henry's six wives, there is a formula, that is, the famous "divorce, beheading, death, divorce, beheading, birth", which is the fate of the six wives. The first season of the TV series is about the first two wives, the divorced Catherine and the beheaded Amberin.
If you have seen Shakespeare's historical script "Henry VIII", you will feel familiar with the first season of this TV series. I don’t remember exactly how important Thomas Moore is in Shakespeare’s script, but Moore’s role in the TV series is very large, which may be a big difference. There are many historical plays by Shakespeare, and I personally think "Henry VIII" is the worst among them. Shakespeare lived in the reign of Henry VIII’s daughter Elizabeth I, so in the script of "Henry VIII" it is inevitable to take a picture of Elizabeth and her parents' ass, which also makes "Henry VIII" the meaning of the play. Not big. I was at a loss when I saw the history of the War of the Roses. There was no convenient Internet at the time, and there were very few textual materials. A large part of Shakespeare's historical dramas were during the War of the Roses, so Shakespeare's historical dramas became one of the ways to clarify history. I remember that when I saw the script of "Henry VIII" at the end of Elizabeth's birth, it was so numb that I was born, and I also sympathized with Shakespeare's situation back then. Gossip went on, then talked about the TV series. If you don't understand that period of history and want to watch the Tudor TV series, Shakespeare's "Henry VIII" is a good introduction.
The actor of Henry VIII in the TV series is Jonathan Rhys Meyers. This handsome guy has appeared in Alexander and MI:III, but I have no impression of him at all. This time, Meyers really turned over in the TV series. This is the resurrection of Henry VIII. He played so well. Anne Boleyn is played by Natalie Dormer, a theater actor. In the beginning of the film, there is the scene of Ambolin turning back, Dormer's eyes are full of charm, and the feeling of ecstasy makes the whole body soft. Anne Boleyn of Dormer is great, and the attractiveness of her gestures fills the screen. The big-name actor in the TV series might be Sam Neill, who plays Archbishop Wolsey. Wolsey is a villain in Shakespeare's "Henry VIII", and the portrayal of the TV series should be closer to the truth-a great diplomat and humanist. In the first season, Anne Boleyn successfully defeated Katherine, and Wolsey was also cut off. In the second season that followed, Henry VIII's only wife who died normally, Jane Seymour, appeared. Jane Seymour is said to be Henry's only true love, and she also left Henry the only boy. After Jane Seymour appeared, it was sooner or later that Anne Boleyn boarded the guillotine. After Thomas Moore's head was knocked off and Henry and the Pope officially broke, Anne Boleyn also lost his head. What a pity, such a charming woman as Natalie Dormer, will no longer appear in the next season.
Henry VIII is a complex of contradictions. For example, he first wrote an article criticizing Martin Luther in Latin in order to defend the Catholic Church, but later broke with the Pope in order to divorce Katherine. This matter is as beautiful as what the Emperor Xian did. Since then, the Church of England has become independent and called the "Anglican Church" because it is neither Catholic nor Protestant. In fact, I think the Church of England is a Catholic church that does not listen to the pope and the king. Henry and Katherine gave birth to a daughter Mary. After marrying Anne Boleyn, he declared Mary an illegitimate daughter and deprived her of her inheritance rights. After the execution of Anne Boleyn, he declared that he and Anne's daughter Elizabeth were illegitimate daughters and deprived her of her inheritance rights. It was not until his later years that the two daughters' inheritance rights were restored. Henry and Jane Seymour gave birth to Henry's only son, Edward, who would later be Edward VI. Mary, succeeded to the throne after the death of young Edward. As Katherine's daughter, Mary believed in Catholicism. During her reign, she killed countless Protestants, so she was called Blood Mary. Blood Mary is now known because of a cocktail whose bright red color gave it the name Blood Mary. I guess that few comrades who like to drink this wine know the bloody background of the name of this wine. After Mary's death, Elizabeth inherited the throne. She was the famous Elizabeth I in history, known as the Virgin Queen (the famous Virginia is named after this virgin queen). Since virginity, of course there are no children, and the Tudor dynasty is cut off. Next comes the troubled Kings of Stuart.
Henry VIII has an older sister and a younger sister named Margaret and Mary. In the TV series, these two characters are combined into one, and they call Mary's name and do what Margaret did. Henry and Mary have a very close relationship and love this sister very much. The famous battleship Rose Mary is named after this sister, and Henry's daughter Mary is also named after her sister. Henry’s two sisters have an important influence on future history. For example, Lady Jane Grey, who almost became Queen, is Mary Tudor’s granddaughter; and the other Mary of Scotland, Mary of the Stuart family, is Margaret Tudor’s. granddaughter. In the future, the Stuart dynasty inherited the throne of England entirely by this Mary of Scotland, and of course the merger of England and Scotland also relied on her. The TV series combined Henry's two sisters into one, and I don't know what to do in the future. The Tudors will not be made into Henry VIII's story alone, will it? According to the current progress, The Tudors Season 3 should be able to tell the story of Divorce II and Behead II. Back to the beginning, "You think you know a story, but you only know how it ends; To get the heart of the story, you have to go back to the beginning", this sentence was written by the screenwriter of this TV series. Screenwriter Michael Hirst is a well-known historical drama screenwriter. He was very popular in the 2007 TV series "Elizabeth: The Golden Age". "Elizabeth: The Golden Age" tells the story of Elizabeth I, the daughter of Henry VIII of the Tudor dynasty. That's why there is the beginning sentence: You think you know the story, but you only know the end of the story; you want to catch the story The essence of you must go back to the beginning. Now, just make a small advertisement for yourself.
"The Tudors" is the best historical drama I have ever watched. The pictures are gorgeous, the characters are full, the story goes on like clouds and water, and it drops like a mercury thermometer on the concrete floor. After watching this TV series, the domestic TV series can not be watched even more. At the end of "The God of Cookery", the judges greatly sighed that she had eaten such a delicious food, and the faint onion made her worry: what should I do if I can't eat such a delicious thing in the future? I have this feeling now, "Onion, I put onion", what should I do if there is no such good TV series in the future? Had to wait for the arrival of the third season. Finally, the music is great!
