The historical theme, so beloved by Hollywood masters, already causes some nausea in the Russian viewer. I can not vouch for the whole world, I will only say about our brother. Yes, we love so that it was for sure, really, to the smallest detail. It is desirable that serious people work on the film, who respect and understand the historical events raised in the cinema. But. But again, but. More often, Hollywood presents us with crafts, pretty spiced with special effects, sensual lips and busts of ladies in the neckline, glittering eyes of smart machos and a slight hint of historical facts.
This time a movie about "Another of the Kind of Boleyns" was released on the screens. Yes Yes. You did not misinterpret. The lustful Henry VIII gave contemporary filmmakers a rich theme for screen versions.
Natalie Portman, in the role of the insidious temptress of King Anne Boleyn, was at the end of a long line of predecessors, among which was the rustling of the crinolines of Vanessa Redgrave, Charlotte Rampling and many other performers of this role.
A sentimental story of love, betrayal and passion was now produced under the direction of Chadwick, a specialist in soap operas. Schematically and superficially outlined a common historical line, blurred characters characters, and often completely messed up places. But the passions and beautiful plans against the background of running clouds are given the greatest preference.
Rescue the position of fresh faces Scarlett Johanson, who throughout the film carefully plays humility, kindness and decency and Natalie Portman, a colorful game that overlaps the lack of character in his character. Eric Bana, who unexpectedly made Henry VIII a handsome man, is rushing through the whole film, engaging exclusively in sexual matters, which is actually not far from the historical truth. The venerable family takes turns in putting the daughters under the king. One of them turns out to be more cunning or more stupid than his cute, affable sister and methodically does not give the king, who has a severe sperm motoxicosis and completely refuses the mind. Here you are laughing, and the hormonal storms in the blood of Henry VIII change the course of the history of England. Once and for all.
If you relax in advance and be aware of the fact that the director in fact does not even shoot a film based on historical facts, but continues to work on a soap opera, and the script writer diligently plays along with it, then. That turns out quite a nice picture. Yes, and the actors save the situation at full power of their abilities - they are pleasant to look at. The main thing is not to pay attention to the text and not to think about it, because soap operas are not created in order to reflect. On the contrary, to relax the brain. Moreover, the result of the project "Another of the Kind of Boleyn" is beautiful and moderately pleasant to the taste. If you feel a strange sensation after viewing - do not be surprised. It's just a smack of soapy foam.
