MOVIE REVIEW : THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL (English)
Category : Drama, Adaptation / Starring Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson & Eric Bana
The story of the Boleyn family has been told from many angles. This movie follows Anne and Mary Boleyn's struggles being driven by their father and uncle's ambition to court the affections of the King of England. Scarlett plays the more innocent Mary, who initially wins the king's heart, and bears genuine feelings for the king. She is pushed aside however by her more aggressive and cunning sister, Anne, played by Natalie Portman. Anne relentlessly pursues the king and will stop at nothing until she becomes the Queen of England. While the two sisters battle for the heart of King Henry, one driven by true feelings while the other by blind ambition, England is torn apart.
Natalie Portman is definitely a treat to watch. She plays the part of Anne Boleyn with perfection. I am not a fan of Scarlett, but I must say she fits the role of Mary quite well. This movie definitely works because of the acting. Other casts like Eric Bana and Kristin Scott Thomas (who plays the Boleyn's mother) also did a good job in this movie.
