The Movie Anne Of A Thousand Days, looks to me, like a pretty accurate representation of what life for these women might have been like during King Henry’s rein. The costumes and palace setting are beautifully designed and I feel that they truly captured the antique style of how architectures and styles where back then, the dresses seem to portray how delicate and dainty women were, but I’m not so sure how the skirts and puffy shorts made the men look macho or manly at all, I don’t know, maybe they were just worried about comfort. I also feel like the actors and the script did a wonderful job so far of capturing and reliving the attitudes and issues both sexes had back then, not to mention the different rankings and social status of people. Of course, the King could do anything he wanted, have any woman he wanted, and kill anyone who annoyed him in the slightest. I feel like this is why this form of government didn’t last, King Henry was a butt hole, and the fact of the matter is, no single man can have all the power, no matter how good and perfect he seems, he or she will always use his or her power for personal gain. I do sympathize for all the wives he left, killed, or cheated on though, they never even wanted to marry the guy in the first place, and although they did have their fifteen minutes of Queenfulness, they were all ditched in the end.
