Interesting movie

Rating: 6/10 (31 July 2008)

I enjoyed this movie for several reasons. I'm really not into history all that much, but since Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johanssen were in it I thought I would give it a chance. I really liked how they portrayed the parents as willing to do anything in order to gain favor with the king and all of the important people. That is just like human nature and they portrayed it wonderfully. They were really making a sacrifice in jeopardizing the chastity of their daughters in order to become more important and what not. I wish that they would have shown Mary's husband's reaction a little more. I guess he was just okay with the whole situation or really didn't care that his wife was having an affair with the king. There was probably nothing he could do about it. I would recommend this to anyone who is in the mood for an interesting and intriguing movie.
