Quotes:
Anne Boleyn:
Masters, I here humble submit to the law, as the law hath judged me. As for my offenses, God knows them, and I remit them to God, beseeching Him to have mercy on my soul. I beseech Jesus, save my Sovereign and master, the King, the goodliest and gentlest master there ever was.
[begins crying after seeing Mary read the King's note; takes off her hood, cape and necklace with shaking hands]

It was a real chore to endure 2 hours of this weak film. The historical inaccuracies aside, of which there are more than will fit on this page, the acting was awful, and both actresses' English accents were laughable. Why can't English actresses be cast in English roles? It's a difficult accent to master especially for American actors, similarly hard for English actors to get down an American accent or specific dialect. Bottom line not worth the $4 rental fee, and definitely does not do these real people of history any justice.
There are much better films about the Tudors already made. Recommended would be "Anne of the Thousand Days" and "Elizabeth" and "Elizabeth: The Golden Age".
