i feel like the story of anne boleyn is an excellent topic for a 2 hour movie. however, adapting that story from this book by phillipa gregory does not make a great two hour movie. there’s just so much that gets glossed over and left out and the pacing in the end result made the characters into very different people. to me, it felt like taking an episode of sex and the city, originally aired on hbo, and adapting it for tbs. so much gets edited out for both time and content, that not only does the end result bear little resemblance to the original, but it doesnt make much sense either.
