The Other Boleyn Girl, 2008

Cast:
- Natalie Portman as Anne Boleyn
- Scarlet Johansson as Mary Boleyn

A Movie based on
a book written by Phillipa Gregory (I highly recommend it!). This is a story
about king Henry VIII and the events that led to the rise of the Anglican
Church. If you decide to watch this movie, you will see the determination of a
man who fell in love and how manipulative a woman can be to reach her goal.

Another movie
based on a book on our list by Jane Austen. A witty and interesting story of a young
woman, Elizabeth Bennet, who is supposed to get married, due to her age and
will of her mother, but due to her stubbornness and will of self-determination
has got problems with reaching this goal. A Clever and surprising story.
I also recommend
the book “Pride & Prejudice” – you may be surprised with dialogues between
siblings, friends and spouses.

Comments
If you like Tom Hardy you may watch "The Virgin Queen". If you don't like so distant times you may be interested in "The Knick" - beginning of the XX, New York. It's not about the murderer, but close - surgeon. I recommend it. I haven't seen TABOO, so I can't tell if it's similar.
If you liked "The Other Boleyn Girl" I recommend you the book. In my opinion it is much better - like when you compare book and movie movie is a little bit dissapointing - so many scenes were omitted or shortened.
I truly recommend Vikings series since it shows in a very interesting way how they might have been living in their times. Also, I remember The Pirates of Caribbean being quite nice to watch, also thanks to the costumes and scenography.
Every other movie I have watched was quite not in my taste, I simply could not get into the plot because of the odd type of play and dialogues.
In fact, the only "costume" film I ever so was the "Pirates of the Caribbean". I don't really interested in this type of movies, I would rather prefer Game Of Thrones or Marvel films.
As I said, I prefer movies about present times. I have never been interested in history, so I'm also not interested in such movies.
Basing on these photos you've published the most beautiful costumes were used in The Other Boleyn Girl. I liked them the most because they weren't too sassy.
Sadly I also didn't want any of the movies you've listed, so I don't have any opinion about them.
Talking about costumes I most like ones from Marie Antoinette, because from what I can see in the pictures they are most complex and hard to made and look really nice.
I find them too short, I want to see more of the story.
Not only hour or two of it.
That’s why I love tv series, especially when there are already a few seasons aired so I can binge watch them as fast as I can.
I have watched only The Other Boleyn Girl, and it was quite nice, as far as I remember. But, unfortunately, I can't recollect how the suits look there.
I like to read the books more then to watch the films, though, sometimes it is easier to imagine the epoch while watching.
Personally, like most male commenters here I don’t like historical movies with historical costumes. But costume movie don’t have to end on that category – for example „Mad Max” won last year Oscar price for the best costumes. And this yer, it was fantasy movie – „Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”. So it doesn't have to be that one sided.
Movies is not my topic, I prefer good book. In my head I can do more than just "watch".
