After movie thoughts

The Other Boleyn Girl.

I don't know why, but I just feel like sharing some thoughts. perhaps due to the heavy rain weather these few days or maybe because of my little dizzy head that wants some way out.

The scene started with three kids playing and ended with the same. What different was, they were not the same three kids.

Anne, Mary and George were siblings with strong bonds. I like their bond. However, when hatreds/competition come into the play, they broken apart. Anne was the attractive, adventurous, straight forward and confident girl which was oppose from Mary, who was rather shy and less ambitious than Anne.

I personally think it was their father (Thomas) and the uncle (Norfolk) who made the family tragedy happened. They were too obsessed with the power and wealth that gained from making the King happy and helping him to have a male heir. They find all sort of ways to promote Anne but instead Mary was the one gained better attention from the King. I guess it was due to Anne's over confident and showoff attitude that made the King a little hurt in his pride. And that was why he chose Mary to be his mistress. Mary was the typical caring and shy lady. *though she was married to another guy at that time*

This is where I felt totally ouch! I was not sure how true the history of this but seeing how the daughters of old times would sacrifice themselves and how the upper society allowed such act really somehow amazed me O.O Anne and Mary fought for that freaking King and ended up no good. Well, Mary was smart enough to leave the court (palace) when she had the chance. *forcefully kicked out by her sister, Anne* Thing was, Mary had the King's son!!!

Anne was exiled to France and from there she learnt how to manipulate better by keeping a distance from the King and asking him to divorce the Queen. *I have to say she was good yet she had over the line* she asked for the it. The disharmony between her and the King after she had her hands to be the Queen. Too bad, she did not give birth a male and the King was desperately needing a son hence he went looking for another potential mistress. *dirty!*

I do understand the reasons behind of these acts but understanding them and accepting them are totally different. How could Anne came out with the idea of having sex with her brother George after her miscarriage so that the King would not know?! The feeling of disgust came right away the moment Anne looking at George. OMG!!! and hella Mary did not stop them by dragging one of them away instead of saying what *may God forgive you both* something?!!!!  

shoot me!

Ironically, it was not the son by Mary who became the King. It was the girl who gave birth by Anne, Elizabeth. Just like her mother, E was a tough Queen.

Speaking of the upper class society. Hmm... you have the power, you have everything. And sadly, it is still practicing today. *SIGH* The King got his hands on each women he wanted and can kick somebody out from the country just like that *oh yea! can order to kill too*. Well, I do sometimes hope I have power and money. Who doesn't? Thanks to the unfair world and because of the unfair, we strive for better. And that's where the hopes come in. It makes us believe that we could improve and be better.


weather: heavy rain
