I'm becoming more accepting of these new interpretations of history. This was a portrayal of a time period in Henry VIII's reign that I was unfamiliar with, and I knew little of his last wife. It isn't hard to imagine her doing what she did in the end, even though her faith would likely have prevented. That she published prayer books was also new to me, and would have been very influential at that time. I think the portrayal of the court during that period fits, even though the tone has been criticized here. It would have been oppressive, even as they made merry. What's unbelievable is that his libido wasn't completely undone by his injured leg. We're talking gangrene and septicemia, not a sprained ankle. Jude Law was sufficiently loathsome and charismatic in his role. My wife had no idea it was him.
