Not Accurate but Inspiring August 3, 2008
This series follows the life of Henry V111 and his court. We are drawn into the politics of the day as well as daily life at court. Henry is passionate, sensual, playful, and all powerful. His interactions with the women in his life are captivating. The acting, costumes and sets are spectacular. I am now inspired to read the "real story". I am presently reading The Six Wives of Henry VIII by Alison Weir. The book is even more fascinating than the series. See the series, and if you want more, buy Alison's Weir book. I recommend both highly!
Blooper Reel Out of Sync July 19, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
The reason the blooper reel is out of sync on some sets [and I happened to get one of these sets] is because, although the sound is there for it, an entire scene is missing visually. The one where JRM is in the water being fed by an assistant. You can hear it but the scene playing isn't correct. It then puts the rest of the reel's sound [and there is a lot of it left] about 2 min behind. It is very annoying and I would like to have a replacement. Not sure how to go about it.
The Tudors January 12, 2008
The Tudors history is something only vaguely cover in the history class. The work on this serie is impressive because it make something very distant becoming very close, you can relate to almost all the caracter and it's a pure joy. I must had a special mention to Dormer (who play Anne) her acting is... divine. Buy that without hesitation.
AMAZING January 3, 2008
shows like this don't come along often. most of them are cancelled much too early (deadwood, firefly, etc). the political intrigue and drama of this show should not be missed
Une superbe evocation de l'Angleterre des Tudors December 30, 2007
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
Cette serie est une magnifique evocation de l'Angleterre du roi Henry VIII, malgre quelques libertes prises avec l'histoire (le personnage de Margaret, la soeur d'Henry, correspond plutot a Mary qui a epouse le roi de France et non le roi du Portugal, Marguerite de Navarre n'a jamais couche avec Henry VIII...).
Je trouve que la distribution est particulierement bien reussie. Je pense en particulier aux actrices qui interpretent Catherine d'Aragon et Anne Boleyn.
Les decors sont magnifiques et les costumes superbes. La serie est tres audacieuse et c'est ce qui en fait sa grande force. Les principaux personnages sont tres bien campes et on a tres bien cerne leur personnalite complexe.
Une tres belle reussite
