anne of the thousand days

Anne of the Thousand Days-

In my opinion this was a good movie. I liked the costumes and the scenery. Also I liked the actors I think that they did a really good job in portraying 17th century people and the facts really well. I think Anne's shift in thinking was caused by her falling in love with Henry. I do not think that Anne was treated fairly I think she was treated the exact opposite in fact I think that the way she was treated was OUTRAGEOUS! She was falsely accused of sleeping with a lot of men one of whom was her own brother. Also I do not think she had a fair trial. The jury had their life threatened if she was not found guilty. The men she was accused of sleeping with were tortured until they agreed to testify against their queen. Their lives were also threatened. Also I do not believe that Anne should have been killed. I don’t think that Catherine of Aragon was treated fairly either. Henry married Anne before he even divorced Catherine. I think Catherine had every right not to want to back down because she was queen of England and I don’t think anybody had the right to take that from her. The people loved her and she was a good queen and I think that is all that matters. Anne did not deserve to have her title taken from her either after she had worked so hard to get it.

  1. Marquita, it's fun to watch these movies with you. Your enthusiasm is contagious! I think it's interesting that you think Anne really did fall in love with Henry. There are so many theories about that -- even amongst your own classmates.
    Glad you liked the movie so much!
