text: I've done a lot of research on Tudor history, and I wasn't personally fond of this sinister twist on the story. Anne Boleyn is depicted as such a nasty character, and the story is already tragic enough without embellishing, but this is a work of fiction based on some true events, so on that note, the movie was okay. I was glad I watched it, but I was also glad I didn't purchase the dvd b/c I wouldn't have likely watched it a second time.
