美人心機 - The Other Boleyn Girl

這是一段關於英國都鐸王朝(Tudor dynasty)的歷史，出現在其中的主要人物，造就日後英國歷史非常輝煌的一段歲月。

Casting:艾瑞克巴納(Eric Bana)、娜塔莉波曼(Natalie Portman)、史嘉莉嬌韓森(Scarlett Johansson)。The collaboration among those three main actors shocks audience a lot. At least, to me.

因為在看完電影後，我對小尼說的第一句話：I'm so touched.

看這種王室歷史劇，很少有「心裡有很多感動快溢出來」的感覺，可能是因為王室生活離我們還是距離遠吧! 不過今天看到最後真的很感動，雖然我搞不懂這種感動是其來何自，也許是劇情中鳳凰欲飛上枝頭的必然性犧牲，也許是主角演技真是絲絲入扣的傳達出一種真實感，don't know，Things are always synthesized. I'd be glad to conclude that the film is great.

Henry VIII(亨利八世), Queen Anne Boleyn(Majesty Henry's 2nd wife), Mary Boleyn(Anne's younger sister). It's a bit difficult to explain the complex relationship among the three characters. Before seeing the movie, I spent some time reading materials about it. Again, seeking in Wikipedia, it's good to find the informaiton is rich. I've pointed out the three people, plz click each link on them if you're interested. (Excepting Mary's. she is Henry's "secret love"(mistress,情婦), but their relationship didn't seem to last too long. It may lead her to be discarded by official records.)

I'm lazy to tell you the plot of this story here:P Just leave a short description to show my feeling: Sacrifice. Sacrifice for oneself. Sacrifice for family ambitions. Sacrifice for family members. Once a person starts to sacrifice him/herself for something, (s)he is a sacrifice(noun) forever. Yep, I was touched for these few reasons.

艾瑞克巴納(Eric Bana),娜塔莉波曼(Natalie Portman),史嘉莉嬌韓森(Scarlett Johansson) are good performers. I think they really did good jobs for the characters they acted. A high valued Hollywood-work.

Borrow the trailer from youtube. The film is coming on in Taiwan(from 2008.4.3). Recommend you to move your body toward the cinema:P


Btw, Henry and Anne's daughter Elizabeth, who led England to a gorgeous era. You should hear of the name well. Elizabeth I, she is.
