AOTTD Journal

I think I was very interested in seeing Anne of The Thousand Days, because of all of the stuff that we had studied about Queen Elizabeth I. I think that because there was so much controversy around her, it makes her very interesting to learn more about. I also found the costumes kind of interesting because Henry didn't wear a crown at all, just traditional hats. In addition to that, Camelot was one of the only musical movies that I liked. I didn't understand what was happening in the first couple of minutes, but I understood it eventually.
Although I missed a portion of the movie, I really like it. It is unfortunate that Henry is so devious and unfaithful to both his wives (SWINGER!!!). I think the whole deal with him being unable to have a son is sad, but very humorous. I thought it was funny how reluctant Anne was to Henry.
In addition, I liked Anne's strategy for getting revenge on Cardinal Woolsey for what he did by separating her and her first love. However, I think that what the king has done in trying to divorce her, is very wrong. I really did not like his advisor's methods in trying to get a false confession. I also really liked the court trial because I thought that the movie started to get really intense. I was a little confused because just when I thought that Henry was going let the sentence stand, he proves that the man claiming the affair was threatened. I am very curious to see what happens next, but so far, I have enjoyed this movie.
