if only history was this interesting back in high school.
just came back from watching the show and it was so good that i feel an urge to start my movie blogging again, this time with a proper web page. but we shall wait till i'm hard working enough for that and just make do with these occasional movie posts for now ya?
i learnt 2 things from this show. although the show is not totally accurate, most of it tallies with some facts i found on wiki.
1. one of the most powerful kings in history, king henryVII is just like most of the other guys around. ie, a bastard. in the show he was attracted to both the boleyn sisters, in actual fact, he had 6 wives.
2. women always had strong influence over men. it was because of the shrewd anne boleyn that king henryVII was excommunicated by the Pope at that time and eventually broke off from the Catholic church.
seems like the past wasn't much different from the present eh? go catch the show, you won't regret it.
