The Other Boleyn Fish

Last night I watched the eagerly-anticipated film, The Other Boleyn Girl.
The historical novel written by Phillippa Gregory was a fantastically brilliant read, in which her unique voice paints the past and makes it come alive in vivid detail.

When the film was released, I looked at it skeptically, as I didn't like the actresses they chose, nor did I think it was going to compare to the book.
But I decided to rent the film anyway, to see if it was indeed worth anything.

Though the costumes were ace, the film BLEW.
I do not reccomend it to anyone.
It drags on, there were several details that were changed, and they didn't need to be and they painted the two Boleyn girls with the wrong emphasis!

It makes me angry.
Read the novel.
End.
