5 Reasons Why I Love The Other Boleyn Girl Movie?
Apr 14, 2008 Movies
I’ve been waiting for “The Other Boleyn Girl” since January, and finally, after a long wait, I managed to watch it the other day. I didn’t read reviews about it because I don’t want to be biased on my judgment about the film. After watching it, I started reading the critics and viewer reviews at IMDB. Surprisingly, I have a contrasting opinion with most of the viewers - they said it was disappointing. It was even graded C+ by movie critics. This has made me doubt my taste on movies. So I tried to list all the things that made me love it to justify my “weird” preference at movies.
1. I love it because it starred Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson.
When I first saw the trailer at YouTube, and knew that Natalie and Scarlett are the lead roles, it made me excited to see the movie. They are two of my favorite movie actors because of their versatility and well, physically, of their pleasant faces. I’ve seen most of their movies and saw how good can they get. I loved Natalie Portman in Closer because it was a total deviant character from her usual sweet rules. I’ve seen Scarlett Johansson in Lost in Translation, one of the most critically-acclaimed movies, and followed her movies ever since.
2. It’s an epic film. I’ve always been stunned by the immense production and large dramatic scope of epic movies. Epic movies always tells history.
3. It’s a story of invaluable lessons - greed is always a deadly sin, the love of a sister is irreplaceable, every action always has a consequence, etc.
4. Love and hatred, betrayal and trust, are all combined in this movie, which made it more exciting.
5. Most of all, it’s a movie about the love for a family. Anne’s and Mary’s tale is a good example of how blood is always thicker that despite the rivalry they had, they still found their strengths on each other and remained connected by their bond as sisters.
