The Tudors S03E07
都鐸王朝 S03E07
The historical drama “The Tudors” produced by Showtime is more about the rise and fall of a prominent dynasty than a romantic story of a paranoid and wife-killing maniac. “Time” magazine once published an article saying: “If there were gossip tabloids in the 16th century, Henry VIII would definitely be the cover character of every issue.” Indeed, this talented and greedy British king married six wives in his life, leaving countless eye-catching controversies in history. In the first two seasons, because Queen Catherine only gave birth to a daughter, Mary, Henry VIII, who had no heir to the throne, no longer favored her and fell in love with the maid Anne Boleyn. Anne, who was scheming, was unwilling to be the king’s lover, so she deposed Catherine and recognized Anne’s identity. Henry VIII launched a ten-year confrontation with the Roman Catholic Church. In the end, he even announced his separation from the Roman Catholic Church and proclaimed himself the supreme leader of the Church of England. However, Anne only gave birth to a daughter, Elizabeth, and Henry VIII soon fell in love with someone else and sent Anne to the guillotine on the charge of adultery. In the third season, the focus of the plot is still the love story of Henry VIII. He will successively marry Jane Seymour, the maid he calls “the love of his life”, Anne of Cleves and Catherine Howard. At the same time, the royal family’s religious policy triggered the famous “Pilgrimage of Grace” incident among the people, and Henry VIII ordered a bloody suppression of it. Since the first broadcast, there have been countless lingering and erotic scenes, as well as intrigues in the court, but it is said that more than 85% of the plot is based on historical records, proving that the script written by the old historian is not inferior to any Hollywood screenwriter. While the plot restores history for the audience, the beautiful Irish pastoral scenery captured by the camera, as well as the gorgeous court settings and costumes, are also one of the highlights of this film.
Showtime製作的歷史劇《都鐸王朝》更多地講述了一個顯赫王朝的興衰，而不是一個偏執狂和殺妻狂人的浪漫故事。 《時代》雜誌曾發表文章稱：“如果16世紀有八卦小報，亨利八世絕對會成為每一期的封面人物。”確實，這位才華橫溢、貪婪的英國國王一生娶了六位妻子，在歷史上留下了無數令人矚目的爭議。前兩季，由於凱瑟琳王后只生了一個女兒瑪麗，沒有王位繼承人的亨利八世不再寵幸她，而是愛上了女僕安妮·博林。心懷鬼胎的安妮不願意成為國王的情人，於是廢黜了凱瑟琳，承認了安妮的身份。亨利八世與羅馬天主教會展開了長達十年的對抗。最後他甚至宣布脫離羅馬天主教會，並自封為英國國教的最高領袖。然而安妮只生了一個女兒伊莉莎白，亨利八世很快就愛上了別人，並以通姦的罪名將安妮送上了斷頭台。第三季中，劇情的焦點依然是亨利八世的愛情故事。他將陸續與他稱為「一生摯愛」的女僕簡·西摩、克利夫斯的安妮和凱瑟琳·霍華德結婚。同時，王室的宗教政策引發了民間著名的「恩典朝聖」事件，亨利八世下令對其進行血腥鎮壓。自首播以來，有無數纏綿情慾的場面，還有宮廷勾心鬥角，但據說85%以上的劇情都是根據歷史記載，證明老史官寫的劇本是不遜於任何好萊塢編劇。劇情為觀眾還原歷史的同時，鏡頭捕捉到的美麗的愛爾蘭田園風光，以及華麗的宮廷佈景和服飾，也是本片的亮點之一。
