Anne Of The 1000 Days

Anne of the 1000 days.
In class we are watching the movie called Anne of the 1000 days. It is about King Henry, after he has lost interest in his first wife, Katharine of Aragon. King Henry right away picks up on Anne Boelyn and wants to marry her. But when he finds out that Anne is meant to marry another man, the king says no. then after a few months of constantly trying, Henry gets his way. Anne somehow falls in love with Henry (In, my opinion, I think that Anne has gone the way of Shell Shock). After a lot of trial and error in the court trying divorce Katherine and Henry. Eventually Henry and Anne are married and when the king and queen go and see the people are all saying "King’s Whore" and all that. They don’t like her very much. Then after a while Anne becomes pregnant and Henryhas high hopes. But later, Ha Ha from Anne comes a girl. Henry is enraged and furious. But he still loves Anne. But then he notices a new girl in court and goes for her, but then Anne has the woman sent away. Then a few months later Anne bores a dead son and Henry is enraged. He says he is accursed and the woman hate him and what not. Then the king tries to prove that Anne was cheating on him. He accuses her in court and a lot of questioning happens. When a minstrel comes forward Henry asks the questions himself.
Now to answer your questions. I liked the costumes and all that. Now what changed Anne’s behavior was probably the power or because her former lover had gotten married. And I don’t think that Anne was treated very fairly and barely had a choice in the matter. Katherine is a tough woman who doesn’t take crap. And she will not back down from a challenge when it comes to her husband.
