tineyI read the description for the Other Boleyn Girl and the many inaccuracies of the history behind the story are kind of annoying. One example is the fact that Mary Boleyn was younger when Anne was actually the younger sister. o_O And then the story makes Anne seem somewhat villainous when Mary was pretty much a slut although I suppose that doesn't necessarily make her a villain. ::grins:: Oh well though, it's a fictional story with some historical background. I'm curious so I'll probably end up seeing it. Plus, costumes!
Apparently there are a few Brits out there who don't like that the main characters are being played by American actors. Seems kind of silly to me. I mean, Cold Mountain was an American civil war movie and the two main characters were Jude Law and Nicole Kidman. I know that when Memoirs of a Geisha was in the making, the Japanese were up in arms that most of the cast was Chinese. Isn't Cate Blanchett Australian? She played Elizabeth and she's not British.
People are funny.
