Recommended reason: Mary Pauline played by Scarlett Johansson and sister Anne played by Natalie Portman are a pair of beautiful and moving sisters. The film tells the story of the sisters being controlled by the elders of the family and arranged at the time King Henry VIII was a mistress. It was originally a conspiracy of the family for power and status, but it eventually evolved into a story of sisters fighting each other for love and interests. The two sisters became supporting roles at the end of the story, because the most famous Queen Elizabeth in British history was born.
The movie has to be classified as a biography and cannot be said to be reluctant. It always feels a little less meaningful, because it is still slightly inferior to the movie "Henry VIII". But the reason for recommending this film is also very simple. First of all, the cast list is hard enough, and the appearance is high enough. Two goddesses are invited. The two heroines are really different. Natalie didn't show enough ambition for the role. In comparison, her blackening process in "Black Swan" is fuller. As for the male protagonists, several actors who played soy sauce in the movie back then became coffee spots. The plot of this movie is bloody, and there is nothing worthy of mentioning, but Fu Hua Dao is indeed impeccable. Every frame of the picture is like an oil painting. It does not have the gaudy color of the previous court dramas. OK. To sum up, this is a British version of a beautiful scheming court drama. The plot is too thin, and there are many imaginary parts in it. If you want to see history, you will not use it.
