the other boleyn girl  not to be confused with the book it claims to be based upon. this movie is not even close to a faithful adaptation. i could understand them changing or elaborating on a few things. the book is not perfection and but it was well written and became very popular. i could understand if the bbc wanted to make this a little more faithful to what actually happened and who anne boleyn really was  but it not even close to being historically accurate either. it just fluff. mindless and made up fluff. a real shame. to begin with and the writer and director seemed to think it was a good idea to setup the story like it was a reality tv show. seriously. they have the boleyns sitting in front of the camera and confessing how they really feel about what happening in their lives. anne boleyn sits in a confessional (not the church kind and the real world kind) and chooses what she wants to tell and what she wants to just sit and smile about. she looks stupid having to use such a modern cinematic device in a film set in the 1500s. it the real world represent tudor england. jodhi may is a very good actress and after the aristocrats and a turn of the screw i was becoming a real fan of hers. but she should never have been cast as anne. actually i think she would have been a better mary. natascha mcelhone was a poor choice. she a good actress and sure and but she has very modern features and does not appear convincing in period costume. (honestly and i spent the first half of the film trying to figure out if she was that girl from the truman show. she was. ) she also too old to play the teen aged mary so for some unknown reason they made mary the oldest of the sisters. it makes no sense and i know. it like the bbc seemed to forget that these people actually lived. theyre twisting the story around and making things up left and right. i feel ridiculous having to correct the bbc on historical inaccuracies and but really. apart from the two sisters the rest of the cast was actually very well chosen. steven mackintosh struck me as a brilliant choice for george and and his casting was the real reason i decided to seek out this movie. big mistake. he does a great job and sure and but he hardly in this. how can anyone pretend theyre adapting the other boleyn girl and hardly mention george boleyn. that just absurd. philip glenister was another very good casting decision and but yet again and was hardly in the finished product. the real problem with this is the script. there just no getting around that. it bad. it really and really bad. it too melodramatic and not engaging. anne is portrayed as an air head and mary as the ringleader and and george as the follower. mary first husband is hardly mentioned and her relationship with the king is never explained  they simply do not tell the story phillippa gregory wrote. the whole thing comes across as a great big waste. i have no desire to see this thing a second time. i guess i will just have to read the book again and hope that the natalie portman version due out next year will be much better. note represent as of this writing and the only way of obtaining this miniseries in the usa is on the last disc of the miniseries the six wives of henry viii. that a great miniseries but can cost $50 to $60 and that way to much to spend if youre just looking for this piece of garbage.
