Based on the best selling novel by Philippa Gregory. The Other Boleyn Girl is an engrossing and sensual tale of intrigue, romance, and betrayal set against the backdrop of a defining moment in history.Two sisters, Anne(Natalie Portman) and Mary (Scarlett Johansson) Boleyn, are driven by their ambitious father and uncle to advance the family's power and status by courting the affections of the King of England(Eric Bana). Leaving behind the simplicity of country life, the girls are thrust into the dangerous and thrilling world of court life - and what began as a bird to help their family develops into a rivalry between Anne and Mary for the love of the king. Initially, Mary wins King Henry's favor and becomes his mistress, bearing him an illigitimate child. But Anne, clever, conniving, and fearless, edges aside both her sister and Henry's wife, Queen Katherine of Aragon, in her relentless pursuit of the king. Despite Mary's genuine feelings for Henry, her sister Anne has her sights set on the ultimate prize; Anne will not stop until she is Queen of England. As the Boleyn girls battle for the love of a king - one driven by ambition, the other by true affection - England is torn apart...
The only thing that could come between these sisters... is a kingdom.
Two sisters divided for the love for a king.
In an age where a woman's destiny was determined by her father, one sister followed the rules. The other defied them.
What if you could have everything you ever wanted? What if all you had to do was betray the sister you loved?
They were the closest of sisters, until the most powerful man in the world made them rivals.
Scarlett Johansson, one of my favourite actress, draws my attention to this movie. Well, of course the beautiful Natalie Portman plays a main role as well. Two of the most notable actresses, playing side by side as sisters yet rivals, to win a man's heart. A man that basically thinks only of affection and of producing an heir. Quite a failure as a husband and a man, but a charming lover and king.
It was through this movie that I came to know such a king in the history of England.
A man that had six wives.
A king that torn England apart from the Roman Catholic Church.
A king that made Anne Boleyn his queen, and was the most important Queen Consort England has ever had.
Father of Queen Elizabeth I, King Henry VIII.
Seriously, I almost loath this King Henry with upmost disgust. 真的是一个龟孙王八，一堆风流帐~
But as all fate, the greedy paid their price...
Well, not only it's a classic and historical romance, just for the sake of the two pretty ladies itself this movie is worth the watch~
