The affair of the heart is the most confounding matter. Add in another ingredient, wrath of a woman, you have the full plot of "The Other Boleyn Girl".Both Anne and Mary Boleyn are beauties of their time. As the Queen Katherine was unable to produce a heir to the throne, Anne was being offered to the King of England to fulfill the task. However, the King took a fancy to Mary instead.
Anne bore her hatred and anger towards her sister, believing that she stole the King away from her. An opportunity arose when Mary was pregnant and had to be confined in bed. Anne took the chance to flirt with the King and regained control. She schemed and plotted her way, and finally became the new Queen.
The movie is dark and twisted about the evilness of the people who are willing to do anything or sacrifice anyone to achieve their goals. The true meaning of greed of power. It is a tragic to see two sisters fallen apart under such situation. I guess they do not realise the importance of family ties and that blood does run thicker than water.
Rating: 4 out of 5 fairy clouds. Excellent acting by the two girls! Bravo.
